The MSM decides what you get as "news".
They stopped being objective in their reporting a long, long time ago.

Vrrry curious how now no one mentions Bawlamore, the rat and vermin infestation, misappropriation and possible theft by Cummings and his team of billions of aid funding, the mayor funding her own children's book sales ("she's on leave recovering from pneumonia"), murder rate exceeding Chicago ...


Almost like it was polling poorly for the left or something.


SQUIRREL !

You have a president who has passed policies that have led to all time low unemployment for African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, and women and also passed a historic prison reform bill with bipartisan support that is having a disproportionately positive effect on the AA and Hispanic American community yet is considered the most racist president in history.

You have a president who is AT WORST one of the LEAST foreign interventionist presidents in my lifetime, has gotten rid of more government regulation, lowered taxes, and strengthened 2nd amendment protections than any president I can remember. Yet Trump is considered a fascist dictator by the mainstream media and many other TDS infected citizens despite literally doing the EXACT OPPOSITE of everything an actual dictator or fascist would do.

In light of all this, do you honestly expect the mainstream media to pay any attention to the fact the Dayton shooter was a registered to vote in the recent midterm election and in the coming Democratic primaries as a registered Democratic or see it mentioned that he said he'd happily vote for Elizabeth Warren and that he wants socialism NOW and he doesn't care how he gets it? You think even if the media even bothers to mention all these facts that they won't STILL blame Trump for his deadly outburst?

The mainstream media and half this country has simply been broken by TDS. They thought they had buried the Republican party for good and that Hillary would continue a decades long reign of Democratic power and their dreams of an eventual socialist utopian would be realized. Trump had the gall to beat their chosen heir apparent and they aren't about to let him stay in office not when the radical socialist proposals being proposed are on the line....

....In other words, NOTHING (especially stupid trivial things like facts, logic, and honest reporting) is going to get in the way of their agenda this time.
+1. great post.

Why would I be angry about someone pointing out nonsense?

And please explain why Heavy's report is unreliable. I'll wait.

I have never been anti-Trump. I am not part of the two gangs known as democrats and republicans. I think Presidents have little control over the economy. Taxing and spending is a function of the legislature. Monetary policy is a function of the FEDS, which are not party affiliated, even though the president does appoint the chairman. Taxes, spending and interest rates are the biggest tools to influence the economy. Government spending has increased under Trump. Is increasing the size of government Republican/Conservative? Are low interest rates government Republican policy? No. They don't have control over it.



The biggest boost that comes from Trump is that he is the white man who followed the black man to make America great again. Obviously it was not great under Obama. Now Trump has inspired confidence in many whites.....just in the same way that Obama inspired confidence in a lot of blacks. Many blacks actually thought things were better for them.....when they were actually worse. Whites might not admit it because they fear being seen as racist.....but they are more confident in white leadership than black.
