Maybe Trump's crimes, if any , will not lead to any conviction! After all, Hillary's Crimes didn't get a conviction, YET !! What crimes do you refer to, Toody? If there were any crimes that she committed, don't you think Cheato would have gotten her "locked up" so that he could change the attention from his own investigation? The Dotard knows that his colluding with the Russians to get dirt on Hillary (remember he told the MAGA faithful that he would reveal everything on her "later in the week" on the very week the Russians were meeting at Trump Tower) will implicate him even further. I am guessing if there was any evidence that she was dirty, he would have already paraded it down Pennsylvania Ave to the Capitol in a wheelbarrow, patting himself on the back all the way. He LIED to all of you. |

What has he done now? Stole more of his own money. if you are still asking those questions at this point,i don't believe that you really want to know the answer,so trying to explain it to you would be an exercise of futility,and I am not going to waste any of my time playing childish games that people use when they cant rationally defend their opinions. all I can do is tell you that google is your friend,and you should learn how to do a little bit of research if you want anyone to consider your opinions are valid,because when you ask questions like THOSE,then all you are doing is inviting ridicule to both YOU,and your opinions! |

Obamas motive was to screw the middle class out of their insurance coverage by making the premiums so costly thus being able to give coverage to the poor. No matter the reason for their lack of income. Which coincidently turns into votes for his party. Now we have a president that actually looks for ways to make it cheaper for everybody. Across state lines or whatever . Trump will remove the barriers impeding free choice. Something Obama was not willing to do. Give it time and we will have access to real "affordable insurance".

PERIOD. and B: 10 thousand people would still be alive if someone wasnt speeding. Why dont we invest in changing auto standards so that cars cannot go above the fastest stated speed limit in the US (80)mph ... who is with me? Build that wall and slow down those cars! you arent abiding the law if you are exceeding the speed limit. We can arrest them, or we can prevent them from happening in the first place, right? Building a wall decreases illegal immigration, limiting vehicle operating speeds decreases speeding instances, perfect. |

Many are too lazy to dig just beneath the surface to find the facts. Just take others' word for honest information. Having the knowledge of history, civics, current events, global dynamics, democracy/socialism/communism, geography and economics is shallow in general. It especially bothers me with voting. People don't look for factual information about candidates. . THAT is what makes it so easy for them to be manipulated! it is A LOT harder to manipulate someone who is well informed about things!! problem is, far too many who base trustworthiness on the WHO instead of the WHAT believe themselves to be well informed. |

So far he's not making a mess he's making America great.. again! He's actually cleaning up the mess Obama made. The mess of regulations, unaffordable insurance, bad deals and wasted money, dehumanizing our police depts. alienating our allies like Israel . Undercutting the military. Many others. so far, I dont see him doing much but Tweeting and placins suspicious and/or incompetent friends in his administrative circle, but I guess in so far as that also translates into he hasnt F'ed anything up ,,, it could be a plus. Obama cleaned a mess, not made one. There were already regulations, and unaffordable insurance and bad deals and wasted money, but they lead to a near depression that we avoided under Obama. He never dehumanized the police at all. We can not alienate Israel, it is the US that pays them, not vice versa and we didnt stop under OBAMA. The military was not undercut, in fact he oversaw the expansion of funds and grants to keep more vets from being homeless. |

Democrats Still can't accept Hillary lost. Just wait till November, you'll have something else to cry about. out of curiosity.. if it doesn't bother you how he talks or treats women, or disabled people. or that he is doing his best to destroy our environment by rolling back regulations that were working in helping to fight pollution, he doesn't seem to care about the animals of our planet. He is constantly caught in lies and acts that a sore loser pre-k child that doesn't think before he tweets..... Is there anything he can do that you would open your eyes and see how vile this man really is? Anything? |

t-Rump needs to be kept in the news.. the man is a moron. I hope Manafort and Cohen sing like canaries. There is NOTHING good about him.. If you watch the body language of his wife... She doesn't even want to be around him... Anyone that is ok with what he is doing.. should move to Russia. We will get our Country back and fix what damage has been done by that whiny twitter happy jerk. |

https://variety.com/2018/music/news/fox-news-aretha-franklin-patti-labelle-1202908395/ Fox News Mistakenly Uses Patti LaBelle Photo in Aretha Franklin Tribute in an amazingly unsurprising mistake,Fox News got their Queens of Soul confused on Thursday. As Twitter users were quick to recognize, the network’s tribute to Aretha Franklin, who died Thursday morning at 76, featured an image of Patti LaBelle instead of Aretha Franklin. The faded photo appeared during an “America’s Newsroom” segment with hosts Bill Hemmer and Sandra Smith, who were in the midst of lauding Franklin’s legacy. Hemmer said, “She sang with a smile on her face when she performed, and that is what she emitted for so many millions and for so many years.” [but THAT wasnt enough of a mistake for FOX news,so they had to double down and make it even worse by giving an excuse that was ALSO proven to be mistaken!] https://ew.com/news/2018/08/16/fox-news-doubles-down-defends-patti-labelle-photo-aretha-franklin-tribute/ In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, Fox News executive Jessica Santostefano explained the error. “We sincerely apologize to Aretha Franklin’s family and friends. Our intention was to honor the icon using a secondary image of her performing with Patti LaBelle in the full screen graphic, but the image of Ms. Franklin was obscured in that process, which we deeply regret,” the statement read. However, upon review of the photo in question of LaBelle, EW was unable to find any instance of her and Aretha Franklin performing or appearing together on stage at the “Women of Soul: In Performance at the White House” special hosted by President Obama in 2014, which aired on PBS. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ but,on the bright side,FOX news doesnt really have any credibility left,so this mistake shouldnt really hurt them any with their normal viewing audience. [but,this little faux pas will probably give the REAL news agencies and late night comics a good laugh!!] probably not the first time you thought wrong. the first place i heard of cuomo's ill thought utterance was on msnbc, and they were are laughing about what a ridiculous and ill conceived comment it was for any politician to make, let alone one in the midst of an election campaign. being well informed means getting the facts right. that's why i refuse to limit myself to just one source, or one 'type' of source to track down the facts of a story. listening to different sides of a discussion, debate, or argument is crucial in sussing out facts. police do it. courts do it. honest news sources do it. and, genuinely civic minded citizens do it. as for the comment about the assault on a reporter being left out...i wouldn't read too much into that. it's not unusual for legitimate news organizations to not make themselves the story unless it is a major part of a piece, or serves the public interest to do so. i fear history will prove you wrong. i agree that we should strive every day to make america great. it seems though, that the MAGAists are saying that america is not great right now, and i also agree with that, albeit for different reasons i am sure. ...all of which stem from the current administration in residence at 1600 pennsylvania ave. |

So, It's OK to start a thread and post what you think you know. With nothing to back it up. But it's bashing when you post the truth with something you can back up. Like a URL. Many of you will get on these threads and argue page after page of what you think. Very seldom do you back it up with facts. I started a thread from fact. It really happened. But that's bashing. No sir. It's not bashing. It's telling the truth based on fact. Our president does things like this on a daily basis almost. But many of you seem to choose to ignore it. I see thread, after thread, With praises of Trump. Most of those threads are not based on fact. So, I decided to post a thread for once that is based on fact. If you can argue page after page based on what you think. You should be able to argue your point based on fact. And that is why I started this thread. Bashing has nothing to do with it. |

Interesting that constant berating wasn't an issue for FOX with the previous president. Odd how standards go back and forth depending upon the WHO instead of the WHAT. from Fox news? Unprovoked? Absolutely. Much of what Trump gets is because Trump fishes for it and provokes it. He makes media the enemy and the media responds in kind. |

ONE of your problems is that it appears that you are ONLY relying on strictly partisan sources for your news,which are clearly designed to evoke your emotional responses to manipulate you,instead of informing you of the facts. instead of networks like THOSE,you should be viewing the REPUTABLE non-partisan news shows that aren't forced to appear on cable channels,instead of on regular networks,where they have to report the ACTUAL FACTS,and don't take sides,as they are only interested in reporting THE TRUTH,and not partisan opinions masquerading as the truth. and,if for some reason,you don't want to watch the big 3 [ABC,NBC,CBS],just tune into BBC,which doesn't have any dogs in this fight,and can give you their honest,and detached view of what the rest of the world can plainly see is going on. you might not like what you hear on them,but at least THEN you will have the actual facts,instead of just opinions. |

Andrew Coumo just shot himself in his perverbial political foot by telling a crowd that America was never that great. Stick a fork in that guys career cause he's done. I wouldnt be so sure. I mean, words are only as meaningful as their context and there is alot of political power in aligning yourself with sentiment of your base. Look at how Mexicans still voted for a guy that said Mexicans are rapists and drug dealers. Sweeping generalizations sometimes can be seen as having contextual relevance or truthfulness by some. |
