More Media Dishonesty

[dallaswareagle]

He delivered the message without resorting to insults or pants pooping.  He pointed out both sides while identifying a clear problem with the press. He didn't engage in a frothing rant directed at our fantastic president.

I don't have a problem with libertarian other than they can't put forth an electable candidate. Johnson was wack-a-doodle.  It's like the XFL. Can't put a quality product on the field but has some good ideas that can be absorbed by the Republican Party.

Neither side wants good ideas, they want status quo.  Hopefully PDT can get rid of this mentality.

The only problem I have with that piece is it seems to operate from the presumption that if you agree with most of what Trump has done then you are incapable of independent thought.

Simply untrue. 

I opposed Hillary because I thought she was corrupt, because her social policies conflicted with my values, because I disagreed vehemently with her foreign policy. 

The other option was Trump.  I agree with securing the borders. I'd support a Muslim ban. I support his pro-business, America first stance.  Im in full concert with the demolition of Obamacare. I'm honestly a little surprised that he's gone full bore in fulfilling his campaign promises. It's unusual and unprecedented.

I'm also disgusted and dismayed at the way the media and the crybaby left has treated him.  The "Sweden" thing is a clear example. 

That doesn't mean I lack the capacity to find fault, it just means that for me the good thus far outweighs the bad by a large margin.  I wish that story was being accurately told.

This, or these, are the exact reasons I voted for him. I would change "Muslim ban" to 1,000% better vetting system.  With all of his obvious shortcomings as a "politician" and his lack of any filter, these were the issues I cared the most about.  He was the one and only candidate I had ever heard speak so directly and forcefully on them and vow to meet them head on.  I'm like many at this point, wherein I can live with all the blather and face palm moments as along as he's continuing to attack these problems.

I tell whackadoodles on the left this all of the time. While you are whining, he's keeping promises.


I said in the beginning that if he only accomplishes four of his promises, he would have done more than any conservative in the last 20 years!

I'm gonna go ahead and stick with Muslim ban.  It's been proven over the centuries and is written into their most sacred law that peaceful coexistence is not an agreeable outcome. 

The ultimate goal of your Islamic neighbor is not to live in peaceful concert with you while respecting each other's individual values but to one day see you bow to his beliefs. 

I'm willing to reconsider, but I'd need one historical precedent where Islamic immigration has been a social or economic benefit to the country that accepted their influx. 

Sweden anyone?

In other words we must ignore the obvious character defects, financial shenanigans, lies, and foolishness of A or B on the theory that B or A is so much worse that we simply cannot acknowledge any shortcomings on the other side.

Or, you vote for the candidate who you MOST agree with...

Did you read a single motherfucking word I said before you started banging your head on the keyboard? 

[Kaos]

And then? 

Oh the horror and shame!  You are encouraged and inspired when he begins to deliver on the campaign promises with which you mostly agreed. 

That just makes you stupid and incapable of rational thought!  Xenaphile!!

I don't see how being somewhat obsessed with the Princess Warrior makes me stupid.

Correct.  And if you and I disagree, it doesn't make you an asshole (although you are).

[Godfather]

It just makes you wrong.

But he's still an asshole, right?

Everyone on the X is an asshole, so yes.

Even Buzz?

Especially Buzz.


Damn Cubs fan.

Trump wants to deport American Indians to India

Satire but funny nonetheless.

Reality left this country when Bernie Sanders was an actual candidate for presidency.

Reality left when a "reality show" host began to be the leading Republican candidate.

And since the democratic party decided it was best to run a, lying, cheating, whorehash, fucking evil mommy part against him, that made him the better of two candidates.

Are we allowed to like this?  I don't remember all the "do better" rules.
