SO, you're pulling numbers out of thin air and using that as fact... because "we all know". That is wrong. That is fictional. I am not sure what you are trying to say here... I read it... re-read it and still don't see your point. But if you're talking about the Congressional Black Caucus stonewalling Trump, then you should give this a read: http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/319958-congressional-black-caucus-we-wrote-trump-a-letter-but-he-never and this: http://fox2now.com/2017/02/16/trump-asks-african-american-reporter-to-set-up-meeting-with-black-lawmakers/ And still, the fact he would ask April Ryan to set up the meeting and check with her "friends" because you know... all Black people know one another... If you still fail to see WHY THAT WAS SO OFFENSIVE just give this a read: http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/susan-rice-calls-donald-trump-s-black-caucus-remarks-offensive-n722271 To some, that word never had meaning... There IS racism, it exists. It's not a SJWs buzz word. Some people do absolutely use it in the wrong context, but that should not diminish peoples outrage over racism. Fox news was never fair and balanced... During the Obama years, they were essentially an arm of the Republican party and created their own narrative. Besides, when Obama did it then, it was wrong. Trump does it now and... it's wrong. So are you excusing Obama for doing that or Just Trump? You should apply your integrity standards equally even if it is or isn't "your Guy", otherwise you loose total credibility. I commend you for always giving Trump the benefit of the doubt.- US Politics
Interesting Article on the vilification of the media- a very astute piece. The advantages of having an enemy are well-known. In Orwell's dystopian novel "1984" -- suddenly a new best-seller in the Trump era -- the masses engage in a daily mandatory ritual, the "Two Minutes of Hate," during which their anger is feverishly stoked against the foe of the moment. Dictators, strongmen and autocrats have practiced the art of drumming up loathing toward others to great effect.Trump is no dictator, but he does have strong authoritarian tendencies and, like other demagogues, he knows that perceived enemies can help him fire up the base, rally the crowds and shift responsibility. Don't look at me, this script cries out; look over there, there is a threat, a danger, a foe.When it comes to enemies, a demonized media is even more useful than the average antagonist.Trump's real nemesis is the truth. By attacking the media, he opens up a new line of attack against facts, his true target. He is, after all, the Gaslighter in Chief. He is trying to confuse the public so that they will not believe inconvenient truths. ... Link to Article- US Politics
Most people have issues with the way Trump just assumed the reporter, being Black, knew entire Congressional Black caucus. That's where the outrage comes in, NOT because of "the bigger picture"- but because many find it offensive.- US Politics

Not sure what you are talking about. Could you post me a few examples of my whines please, so I can conduct myself in a matter that is more palatable for you in the future? And we should take this to PMs instead of airing this out in the forum.- US Politics
That's fine with me, I would rather have the devil in power rather than myself. I don't blame the people at all.- US Politics

Good on you for defending and giving the benefit of the doubt, no matter how strained it should be, to a serial liar. You are a bigger man than myself.- US Politics

I don't know what's more entertaining, Donald Trump melting down and trying to convince people one thing and then saying the exact opposite in the next sentence or watching peoples' Jaw drop every day in realisation that this is the POTUS. I did laugh at that bit about Trumps ratings would get better if he sunk the Russian ship. Oh boy, that will be the day. Saw this and thought of Trump:- US Politics
Unfortunately there isn't a strictly Trump thread, so I guess this bit of awesomeness goes here:- US Politics
