    That was probably his biggest promise, repeated hundreds of times. Every trump voter I met wanted him to "lock her up".

    Yes it's fucking stupid, but how does that change the fact that it was a false promise?

    What percentage of each party has been dodging town halls? This fake news article names a handful of people out of 600+. Clearly biased.

    He said the aca "covers very few people". How many is very few? Again, subject to opinion.

    I am disappointment he hasn't locked her up yet, or hired that special prosecuter to look into her, but I assume it's because the FBI is.

    Your rebuttal is "inside the pages of MOST newspapers would carry the answer". Which ones? Are the real or fake? most? As in more than 50%?

    Fake news.

    He said quite a while ago he wasn't going to go after her. It's no broken promise.

    I don't. I think I've seen her on TV a handful of times, ever.

    I just look at what the press is claiming and then look for facts to support what they say, or look for what they're not saying.

    That's a screen grab from the NYTimes article. What's in the big text is what they spin as a lie, and then prove it isn't a lie. WTF?

    I also don't defend Trump regardless of what he does.

    The whole immigration thing is just awful. All the way around - the executive order and going after Mexicans or other South Americans. The wall is pointless.

    Not a big fan of massive spending increases. The guy inherited a fiscal mess, better to clean that up first before investing money we don't have.

    There's no point in parsing everything he says. He shoots from the hip, obviously, and doesn't always have ready command of the facts. This, however, is a big part of his appeal to tens of millions of voters.

    The inauguration crowd size thing and illegal voting claim isn't very productive.

    He's not leading the republicans. Whatever he wants to do, they're not exactly following.

    I'm just rebutting the narrative you are trying to create.

    As with most things, the truth is in the middle. You used to get that.

    There is no middle if all the "news" is "left."

    It seems one of us gets that.

    The "all the news is left" is nothing more than fake news itself and a disgustingly lazy way to avoid accountability. The right doesn't want to be held accountable for their lies and false narratives, so it's much easier to blame their opponents as the liars and tellers of false narratives. And all the "fake news" bullshit does is muddy the waters further, making it easier for the right to bamboozle their already clueless followers. Which is and has been their long game to begin with.....

    I absolutely loathe Trump and I base my opinions on words that I know beyond a doubt have come from his own mouth, and on actions I know beyond a doubt he has personally instigated. Just because I (and plenty of others) find that dismaying and disgusting doesn't make it fake news. It means the truth is often ugly and we each have to react to it and deal with it in our own ways. If I have to trust the words and rationalizations of Trump and his pack of sycophants over my lying ears and eyes, I'll trust my lying ears and eyes every damn time......But @3RA1N1AC is correct, the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle......and every link, chart, graph and opinion piece Denny can throw out won't change that.......I've had enough dealings (in very small time, local encounters) where no matter how much time was spent providing accurate information, answering questions and trying to paint as factual a picture as possible, parts of the story almost always get ignored or misrepresented. But the bulk of the story is virtually always grounded in solid truth.

    You cant have it both ways Denny. You and the Trump fan boys have castigated the Trump haters for calling Trump voters stupid, uneducated, etc, etc. But now you're trying to say that that those same Trump haters are stupid for falling for "fake news" and we aren't smart enough to think for ourselves. You guys are as guilty of playing class politics as those you accuse on the left......not that ANY of you will ever admit that. Gawd I can't wait for 2020.....assuming Donny lasts that long.....
