Dick Allen Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 So let me get this straight, Dreamers are a danger and need to get out if money for a wall isn't made available, but they are just fine in America if the wall is built. What shame Trump is using these people as pawns for his ego . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual test is all over the Internet, if he is bragging about getting a 30.... Arguing you're smarter than either Obama (Occidental/Columbia/Harvard) or Clinton (Yale/Georgetown) is not going to be a winner for Trump. Not with all those analyses showing his average vocabulary level from hundreds of thousands of transcripts of public comments pegs him at a 3rd or 4th grade range. At this point, he's not even in the same neighborhood as GW Bush or Gerald Ford.

Whitesoxin2019 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I don’t care if you’re independent, right or left. The media is a deceptive disgrace. CNN the worst. My only objective with the fake news awards is fox is not much better. (See 2008 2012 Ron Paul election coverage) But what we have here is a gold mine for the independent thinker not inside an echo chamber. I present the archive link instead of gop because GOP are scumbuckets and Trump broke the site. Hate him or love him but these are accurate awards given for the #fakenewsawards . This calling out of irresponsible reporting is the right thing to do. Of course the storylines will be attack on freedom of press. Well you know what? When our press is being funded by a handful of mega corps I think we need some checks and balances. Shame on anyone here who thinks intentionally deceptive reporting is good reporting. 1. The New York Times’ Paul Krugman claimed on the day of President Trump’s historic, landslide victory that the economy would never recover. 2. ABC News' Brian Ross CHOKES and sends markets in a downward spiral with false report.

Tax cuts won't help the rich. Mexico will pay for his stupid wall. He won't have time to golf. When Obama was President, the stock market and employment rate were doing the exact same thing they are doing today because of the almighty Trump, then they were a "bubble", and hoax numbers respectedly. Speaking of hoaxes and shams, what about Russia? the list goes on and on. He averages over five lies a day.

StrangeSox Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Yeah, the best part of that list is that it starts with an editorial, not a reporter/news, and ends with NO COLLUSION! ranting. Just look at what happened with the second example. Brian Ross mistakenly reported that Flynn had been directed by Trump to contact Russians during the campaign rather than during the transition. That's a big mistake! There's a huge difference between those two things! But the error was caught and corrected, Brian Ross was suspended for a month and he'll no longer be reporting on any Trump stories. There was accountability there. There's no evidence that the initial incorrect report was made knowingly and intentionally. There is something to be said about media consolidation, the death of local and independent papers, TV and radio stations, and that fewer and fewer corporations control a larger and larger share of how and where we get our information. There are problems with the media, with reporting, with who to trust and why. But a serial liar who shouts "FAKE NEWS!" at everything he doesn't like and who routinely threatens to sue media outlets and would love to suppress freedom of the press isn't the right guy to be calling it out.

caulfield12 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Would love to hear opinion of independents and Trump voters on this...fake news! A year into Donald Trump's presidency, global confidence in US leadership has fallen to a new low, according to an opinion survey conducted across 134 countries. The Gallup poll puts global approval of US leadership at just 30%, slightly behind China on 31% and only three points ahead of Russia. Germany is now the top-rated global power in the world, with an approval rating of 41%, according to the survey. The US rating is down nearly 20 points from the 48% approval rating in the last year of President Barack Obama's administration, Gallup said. It's also four points lower than the previous low of 34%, seen in the final year of George W. Bush's presidency. By comparison, in Obama's last year in office the United States led Germany by seven points, China by 17 points and Russia by 22 points, according to Gallup. "This year marks a significant change in our trends," said Jon Clifton, global managing partner at Gallup. "Only 30% of the world, on average, approves of the job performance of the US's leadership, down from 48% in 2016. "In fact, more people now disapprove of US leadership than approve. This historic low puts the US's leadership approval rating on par with China's and sets a new bar for disapproval." http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/18/world/us-sli...intl/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I know it's piliing on, but I just can't stop laughing at this quote from Trump: "[the Wall] was never intended to be built in areas where there is natural protection such as mountains, wastelands or tough rivers or water." Who tells him that he just described 95% of the border? And that much of the remaining 5% in and near urban areas already has walls? And thus, he just told everyone he never intended to fulfill his promise of a wall. Trump voters were duped. It happens, but it's amazing how many "build the wall!!!!" people are so hopelessly hooked to their previous stand that they won't even admit they made a mistake when Trump himself tells them he won't do it.

President was having an affair with a porn star and then paid her to keep quiet. Can't wait to hear people like Jerry Falwell Jr. preach about the moral chaos we are living in today because you have to sell a cake to a gay couple.
