He mocked a reporter, not the disability of the reporter. I thought it was pretty obvious.
Anyway, who gives a shit? Seriously, this is the best complaint you can come up with? If it is, then life in the US must be pretty sweet.
OK, and if all of your predictions are wrong what will you say? If the President is able to improve lives of Americans and keep us out of unnecessary conflict will you then approve?
Obama had 85% approval. Trump doesn't have half of that.
...because the Conservatives didn't throw a hissy fit when Obama won. They saw that it was important to get behind the President and move forward as a nation.
Yes, and wikileaks said they had info on RNC, too. However all of it fit into the category of stories that were already broken, or stories that cannot be verified.
No, it was to maximize impact and readership. Any journalist or organization would behave the same way. Whoever leaked the emails put themselves at risk to do so. Not presenting the emails in a way that maximizes their readership and impact would cheapen the sacrifice of whoever leaked the info. *cough* Seth Rich *cough*
Oh, so if he had sat on the leaked emails until *after* the election was over that would have been fair? Wikileaks cannot sit on information until it becomes irrelevant, that's now how it works. The data must be released for maximum readership and maximum impact. That's literally the entire point of wikileaks. Furthermore, if wikileaks had any dirt on Trump and declined to release it, why has nobody come forward saying so? That sort of behavior would completely discredit wikileaks, so it would be a pretty big deal if it actually happened. I hear crickets.
The one glaring problem with all of the opinion based "news" which is not really news in the first place (Fox and the like) turning around and taking anything they don't like and labelling it "Fake News" does not work in terms of journalistic integrity or upon later verification. Fake news is, in essence, fake news!
The problem here is for some reason in America there is never any shortage of morons. Again I blame Fox news.
Interesting that you single out Fox. You're political affiliation is showing.
Regardless, you're wrong on fake news. Story after story coming from mainstream media outlets has been discredited only to be later revealed as staged, fabricated, without any credible evidence, or out of context. Fake news is simply propaganda disseminated from the political elites. If you believe everything the media is telling you (except for Fox apparently) then you believe the propaganda.
All this Russia nonsense is just the globalist government establishment trying to invoke fear in the voters. As long as voters are afraid they will extend more power to the government. The CIA, NSA, DHS, Patriot Act, etc etc it's a long list of government bodies and powers that the government has taken up "to protect us." The problem is: 1) We're not at war, this is all FAKE NEWS and 2) The government will never surrender their powers granted "to protect us" during wartime. So now we're embarking on a quest to allow the government to appoint it's own president. Make no mistake, that is the logical conclusion of this farce.
This is basically McCarthyism. You and the Democrats are taking the conversation in a very dangerous direction. People are literally calling for martial law as an anti-fascist measure. Do liberals even know what martial law and fascism are? Sure doesn't sound like it.
Trump won, get over it, take a seat. Republicans sat through 8 years of Obama without throwing a tantrum and trying to rip the country apart. I think once (if?) the media frenzy dies down you'll find that Trump isn't nearly as bad as he's been made to look by the lying media.
Yeah, maybe start by looking into your stories before reposting things you heard in some Liberal echo chamber.
The Russia "dossier" was shown to be a complete fabrication, even CNN backpedaled on it.
In fact, none of the stories linking Trump and Russia have turned out to have any credibility whatsoever.
It seems like the media are taking part in the ongoing political effort to "delegitimize" PEOTUS Trump before he takes office. I think they have every reason to fear Trump, he is a threat to the establishment. He wants to ban lobbying to people who worked in congress. He wants to investigate the CIA's involvement in fake news. He wants to audit the Federal Reserve, reduce corporate power in Washington, and bring us back to a capitalist economy. He wants to unravel the fraudulent pricing going on in US Healthcare (want to know how much care costs? Depends on your insurance. That's fraud.) among other goals. The establishment feels threatened, and I am seriously concerned for Trump's life. The fake news targeted at him and his supporters is just the beginning. And the Democrats seem all too happy to drink the cool aid and demonize the PEOTUS.
Make no mistake, Democrat = Rupublican on all issues but social ones which they use as a wedge to prevent 3rd parties from being part of the conversation. Somehow, Trump managed to become the Republican's candidate despite the fact that he does not align with their globalist and corporatist ideology. I believe the Republicans tried to get rid of him, but were unsuccessful. Maybe they were too late, and his popularity was already too great. I really don't know how it happened, but this is a very significant event.
Well passing a ban on lobbying for 5 years after leaving Congress seems like a good start. Gee wasn't that Trump's plan that the Democrats and Republicans are freaking out over? Wonder why that might be.
As I've said before, people who live in apartments make up a large portion of the population regardless of where you live. They mostly park in parking areas several hundred feet from their units. Unless the landlord decides to install power in the parking areas, they can't even consider getting an EV. Even if they did, how can they know their next apartment will have power in the parking area?
Apparently nobody cares to remember that tons of people live in an apartment with no garage and no way to charge an EV at home. What the hell would I do with an EV? Run an extension cord down 3 stories and then 300+ feet into the parking lot?
I agree with your sentiment, and that we should try to help the world to live free. The million dollar question is: how? Military intervention has failed. Maybe talking it out can work? Radical idea.
In this case, their grievance is that we exist. ISIS wants a new caliphate to control the entire Middle East and they want to pursue holy war, you can't really negotiate around either of those even if they wanted to.
A good start might be to quit blowing people up. As long as war in the middle East exists, I suspect that radical Islam will continue to grow.
Federally guaranteed loans and low interest rates mean students have the ability to borrow tons of money, hence colleges raised tuition to absurd levels.
Meanwhile we have a "recovery" that's not actually a recovery but a bubble fueled by low interest rates and the Fed printing more and more money.
The "sharing" economy is crap. It's basically participated in by people who can't find an actual job, so the wages are very low. Apparently these gigs count as jobs anyway for some reason, so unemployment numbers don't look too bad.
Add to that job competition from poor immigrants at the low end of the wage scale, and job competition from severely underpaid H1B workers at the high end of the wage scale, and the average will drop.
The US managed to delay the fiscal crisis which was imminent in 2008 by bailing the banks out with debt, but we didn't actually fix the problems. There's still massive speculation. There is still too much debt. There's still a trade deficit. I think some of us are feeling a little bit euphoric stocks going up again, but it's artificial.
Anyway, you've heard my opinion. How in your opinion did this "buffoon" beat Hillary despite the support of a popular Democrat POTUS in office, the media, and spending way more money? I'm doing to know.
You're in denial that the entire system was played by this "buffoon" (who says buffoon anyway? Are you from 1920?). If he's so stupid explain how he destroyed a heavily favored candidate despite no background in politics and spending way less campaigning. Read the comments here. Totally stuffed with free advertising. The article didn't even mention Trump. He's under your skin and in your head. I'm not a Republican, but I'm not stupid enough to underestimate Trump. LMAO you just don't get it.

Since when did we start polling the rest of the world on who our leaders should be? I for one do not give a fuck what the rest of the world believes.

NOW GO AHEAD AND DOWNVOTE

Sanders was never a real candidate, the DNC picked Hillary before the race even began. It's a moot point.

He doesn't even need to anymore. People are claiming it on his behalf! Read the comments. The mindshare is crazy and he's not yet in office.
These workers will need lunches, cars, work clothes, etc. You get the picture. We are just scratching the surface.
