    It's not about that. Also, you keep failing to understand the point.

    If CNN

    "stopped being journalists and have become 24/7 whining crybabies"

    Then why the fuck do you post links from there? It's supposed to be fake news...

    That's the point... Jesus...

    I understand the point.

    Sore losers. Butt hurt.

    They spent so much of their time and the network's money being an unpaid PR firm for her and she lost.

    Yet you post a link from there and don't understand why that's hypocritical. :blink:

    True story. Just now, I was channel surfing the news channels.

    Trump made a pretty important speech about tax reform. Fox News carried it start to finish. I heard his words, saw him speak, for about an hour. No sign of any of this nonsensical mental issues.

    CNN didn't show any of it.

    But they'll tell me how awful it was, and maybe cherry pick one line from it and turn it into a constitutional crisis. Meanwhile, riverman will be telling me how Trump really is, even though he isn't watching him. Where is he getting his information?

    I post a link that YOU have to agree is a good source. It's not hypocritical at all. It would be YOU that's hypocritical to deny CNN's own words when you just gave them the biggest thumbs up possible.

    I understand rhetoric and logic and presenting solid support for an argument.

    I don't care to react to CNN or FOX trying to tell me Trump is bad or good. I make my own conclusions based on what comes out of trumps mouth, based on his actions. He is an egotistical, inept man who has no resolve to be a leader or act like a civil caring human being. He has done nothing for this country, but worked to make the rich richer and screw over the lower class americans who are the backbone of this country. Kim Jong- un is freely launching missiles, ISIS is no closer to being stopped. The amount of terrorist acts around the world are on the rise. They are now running people down by the dozens in cars and detonating bombs in concerts for children. Our country and the world around us is spiraling out of control, coming unglued, and Trump has a lot to do with that. The president is the most powerful man in the world for a reason. Because he has a great influence over what happens not only in America but around the world. And when the president is incompetent and narcissistic, our country becomes a joke and his influence, the influence of the United States fractures and chaos reigns.

    When's the last time you saw Trump speak for more than a sound bite?

    From what I've read the last few years all the major news outlets stage shots. I can't believe people accept it as a standard practice.

    If you fake some of the news how can I trust any of it?

    I didn't realize how much local news is copy and paste nationwide until I started this video last night. I couldn't stand it and turned it off.

    Is ISIS Conceding Defeat?

    The fate of Baghdadi himself is also increasingly uncertain. On Thursday, the Russian deputy foreign minister, Oleg Syromolotov, said that there is now a “high degree of certainty” that the Islamic State’s emir was “liquidated” in a Russian air strike in Syria last month. The claim was met with skepticism in Washington. But U.S. officials admit that they do not know the whereabouts, or status, of Baghdadi, who was detained by American troops for ten months, in 2004, then released.

    Baghdadi’s last known public message was released from hiding in November, when he appealed to followers not to weaken their commitment to the isisjihad. “Turn the nights of the unbelievers into days,” he told them. “Wreak havoc in their land, and make their blood flow as rivers.”

    “This raging battle and total war, and the great jihad that the state of Islam is fighting today, only increases our firm belief, God willing, and our conviction, that all this is a prelude to victory,” Baghdadi said. The recording was released online. Not a peep has been heard from him since.

    Baghdadi’s past bravado now rings hollow, especially as other senior leaders around him are picked off. On Tuesday, the Pentagon announced that Turki al-Binali, the self-proclaimed Grand Mufti of isis—its chief cleric—had been killed in a U.S. air strike in Syria on May 31st. The cleric was a close confidant of Baghdadi. He developed isis propaganda and recorded lectures “attempting to justify and encouraging the slaughter of innocents,” the Pentagon said, in a statement.

    Yeah, that's the first part of the long ass video I linked. How people defend that is beyond me.

    you watched TV and listened to Trump make promises and bought it....you trust him....I don't....I get my Trump info from his speeches as well and editorials and articles....don't watch any TV news nor want to....but you think he'll cut taxes and I think he is making a false promise because he can't even fund govt as is...or the wall...or the infrastructure dream....or the new troops in Afghanistan...or the new cold war with N Korea.....I could go on..you see...I think for myself..I used to buy the TV spin but lost trust in that as a source long ago....you might say I'm a guy who enjoys the words of Jesus in the Bible but not a lot of the rest of it written by his followers......seems you've become a follower. Good luck with that....we're all going to need it.

    6 US soldiers were killed by ISIS in Afghanistan...they've regrouped there...we took out their leader but ISIS troops in Syria are not ISIS troops in Afghanistan...how many times did we think we'd contained the Viet Cong and see them regroup and continue? I hope we are winning that battle, or rather the people of those regions are winning those battles....they've yet to surrender

    I just love it when you argue with Denny and eventually arrive at agreeing with what he said in the first place.

    And then still say he's a follower.

    It was your idea to read other poster's in different voices. I'm going to read yours with Joe Pesci.

    I don't buy his promises more than any other politician. I'd like to hold him to them, though.

    Things like improving the lot of inner city dwellers and improving the economy.

    You get your info from editorials? No wonder.
