    Can't recall a SOTU address that got into operational details...It's a platitude listing event minus the forward looking statement disclaimers Trump used to have to deal with, lol!

    Pelosi: It costs US taxpayers $81,000 for her to travel from Cali to DC. Another minor reason we don't like her company. Overall she is the female version of retire Sen.Boehner

    Not sure what the big surprise here is, Putin never liked the Clinton's and influencing other countries elections is what the Ruskies have been doing since before you were born. "Influence" isn't rigging or tampering or forging. It's not much more that say Hollywood telling people vote Hillary because Trump is Hitler. Besides, outside of Fox, no other media outlet covered the Podesta emails.

    Meh, more Democrat bullshit because they can't handle not getting their way.

    First? You're kidding....Then that should tell you something about the biased news feeds you consume. Pelosi has lost g refused to fly commercial, using her status to fly private jets.

    At this point we need 5 parties, A psychological examination of all candidates by an independent source, Dismissal of their conflicts, no tweeting, no personal emailing and a promise or impeachment

    ...1. don't presume to know which news sources I read because you really have no clue as to what I do or what I read. Furthermore, I choose not to be myopic and so I read many outlets in order to hear from both sides of the aisle to form a more rounded opinion about things. I also find it laughably hypocritical that you view news outlets who tend to favor the left as as the only ones who are "biased" in their reporting.

    ...2. I already knew Pelosi traveled in private jets...I just was not aware of how much it costs.

    ...3. all better now?

    My friend, I cannot verify that but the 81K number was the one I remember With the Congress we have it may be true.

    Make no mistake, there is nothing equal about left bias and right bias. And I'm not a fan of the right when they say...But the left does it too. But I'm 100% confident in saying that there is zero objectivism left at CNN, NYT, etc.

    Goldberg sums up my views nicely here...

    ...lol...no, I'm aware of both of those NR tidbits...but I don't see what that has to do with you pretending to somehow know which news outlets I peruse.

    ...like I said, I choose to pretty much read them all...I may or may not agree with what some of them say, but I read them anyway...and then formulate my own opinion.


    ...and sorry, but that does not by default make me "libtard infected" as you wrongly claimed a couple of weeks ago and informed me that I "don't understand the Constitution" then dismissed my opinion by simply telling me to "go smoke another doobie"..

    I had to realize Trump tweets to dictate his pure thoughts rather than let media form their opinions within their visions. I had never seen a battle like this. Obama played this matter off as a sideline but Trump takes on the entire group as an enemy. This tells me he is really a scornful figure who cannot leave a comment alone. He could have directed this form of communication with a classy style all his own. However, his narcissistic personality turns me away from my admiration for the office of President.

    ^^^yup, the guy evidently is a very insecure individual who has a very thin skin...every POTUS in our history has had to deal with the press but Trump's approach borders on neurotic.

    This guy is so fucking toxic. He has disgraced "The Presidency"........now he wants an investigation stating Obama has
    'wiretapped' his White House. DISTRACTION with a purpose. What does he not want Americans and the world to know?
    ABSURD.......DELUSIONAL.....HATEFUL.....VENGEFUL.....DISHONORABLE......and on and on. IT JUST DOES NOT FUCKING STOP!

    ^^^I was reading about the wiretapping accusations and I really don't know how Trump's supporters can simply dismiss the plethora of unsubstantiated claims he has made...seems like every time I think he's finally gotten his shit together he reverts back to his paranoid tendencies.

    ^^^^ personally, I've been having a hard time with accepting; trusting half his Cabinet appointees. I don't feel like we can trust this Administration; a crew of carpetbaggers, liars, cheats, thieves; the swamp got more complex with the replacement of Gator's with Croc's. I expect things to get much worse, before they can get an ounce better....
