    With all that needs attention, this really has no business being on the list at all. Both sides need to understand that serious people do not give a rat's ass about the size of the crowd. Save the bandwidth for God's sake.

    Sure, we read it. It’s another red herring we are not discussing here.

    Here is what I have noticed besides the all so important “Trump/Russia connection.”

    I noticed when congress subpoenaed Hillary’s server she SUBSEQUENTLY had it destroyed along with a number of her blackberries and 34,000 emails. Did you notice?

    I noticed when congress subpoenaed Lois Lerner’s hard drive it somehow crashed that month. And then five more IRS hard drives somehow crashed that month. Did you notice? Did you notice no one was convicted of their crimes? What I noticed is that the republicans in congress are the biggest cowards who are either afraid of losing their cush career jobs or they are blackmailed into doing nothing about it. The democrats, of course, had no intention.

    I notice in mid-November when a young female journalist, Monica Peterson, went to Haiti to investigate child trafficking and possible links to the Clinton Foundation, for some strange reason she decided to commit suicide down there? I noticed the MSM never reported on that and Snopes went into overdrive to try to discredit it. They determined it to be “Unproven.” I also notice Snopes ALWAYS covers for Obama, the Clintons, and any scandal on the Left. http://www.americasfreedomfighters.com/2016/11/17/woman-clinton-foundation-dead/

    (The list of scandals is endless by the way.)

    But you supporters all brush that meaningless stuff aside because you have a mission to blame everything on Russia and keep Hillary the saint looking spotless.

    Who cares? I wasn't there, but I still watched it.

    Weren't you telling us that crowd size didn't matter before the election?

    You can keep clinging to that and your voter fraud margin, but it's not going to help you.

    It's not Trump that is yapping about this. He only comments when the media does. If the media hadn't started off with a basket of lies, Trump probably would never have mentioned it.

    Rationalwiki is a far left wiki in case you didn't know. Just like Conservapedia is a far right wiki. But then again, Wikipedia also has a liberal bias.

    Both sources above come from other Wiki's. :smile:

    Of course it was expected. The vast majority of Trump supporters pay individual income taxes and to be able to pay individual income taxes you usually have to hold down a full time job. January 20th, 2016 was on a work day.

    Now what percentage of Obama's supporters back on January 20th, 2009 paid individual income taxes and had real full time jobs in the private sector ?

    and no one would want to use a vacation day for Trump like they did Obama

    Trump says people that do not pay taxes are smart...

    Was there a basket of lies? Can you identify one thing that "the media" said that was false and that the publishers knew to be false?

    Frankly, if Trump hadn't mentioned it, most people would not have known of the story that the crowd for Trump was smaller than for Obama.

    Obviously, you didn't watch the inauguration on network TV. I did. They repeatedly commented on how 0bama's crowd was bigger, blah blah blah, and Trump was nowhere near the commentary. He was preparing for the ride down Penn and getting ready to speak. Even before he was inaugurated, the media was running their mouths about crowd size and speculating this and that. It was disgusting.

    I believe it was on ABC someone commented about the huge crowd and how it was likely the biggest crowd they'd ever seen. Then they got that look like they'd strayed off the narrative, tried to cover, and from that point, lied all the way through and are still lying.

    Next time Trump is inaugurated, pay attention. See for yourself.

    Well, if Trump's crowd size was smaller (and all indications are that it was), where was the lie?

    Indeed. But your great orange hope is lost in another of his narcissistic obsessions and will gnaw that bone forever.
    Enjoy polishing his turds ad nauseam.

    With a looming trade war with Mexico and the crisis brewing in the South China Sea - why is this even the beginnings of an issue?

    Trump lies - just accept that same way you have accepted his refusal to reveal his tax returns, his refusal to divest himself of all his business interests and this history of fraudulent behaviour

    The comment about reported crowd size does not preclude the Trump administration's concern for the first two items you mentioned.
    Besides, Trump has done more in one week than congress and obama dare to do in a year. So let's not pretend Trump is the one of little concern.

    As to Trump lying... what of it? Those are all peripherals anyway. Shall we discuss the shady pasts of your saints on the left?

    It is easy to kick over the other kids sand castles but by all indications he has no real ability to build any of his own

    Well, not without ripping off a whole lot of people

    Sean Hannity looks at Trump like a teenage girl with dripping wet panties....Trump sycophants adore this loudmouthed buffoon like he is a God. I have never seen anything like it in all my years...People loved Kennedy, Reagan and Obama, but these three guys were great speakers who spoke intelligently and eloquently and showed a little humility and grace under fire. It seems that no matter what obviously provable lie spews out of Trump's mouth, his fans believe it and invent "alternative facts" to make those lies the gospel truth in their eyes. It is almost Hitleresque.

    Just have a look at the above post. You've got to be completely detached from the reality to come up with nonsense like that.

    The real Obama. Jack4freedom must be one of those who feels the tingle while Obama speaks, right? For heaven’s sake, Obama has embarrassed the USA on number of occasions. A complete fraud who had his back covered by the corrupted MSM. An utter embarrassment and disgrace.

    This video makes Dubya look good. Obama said he visited 57 states? What a moron.

    The time has changed for come.

    Very well summed up.
    Trump could end up burying the far right as they blindly follow him off a cliff.
    Like nazi Germany, this won't end well.

    Gateway Pundit?? Seriously? Even legitimate right wing sites have called out these clowns out for "fake news", posting absolute junk. The crap in the OP is just another example but Gateway does have its delusional followers, just as Alex Jones does. For all who believe this nonsense in the OP, don't scratch your heads taking your tinfoil hats off before going to bed.......

    It's a self-correcting problem since every time -- and I do mean Every Time -- that the leftist allied MSM does this sort of thing they permanently lose viewership; which in turn either permanently migrates over to reasonably Fair and Balanced Fox News or independently goes spelunking on the Internet for news that they can sift through and therefore trust. Who know how many more viewers these outlets lost over this latest propaganda stunt FOR the Dem Party?

    I'm glad he didn't release his tax returns, it's none of our gd business. He's been audited more times than you've likely had your salad tossed and is not in jail. Good enough for me, and should be good enough for you imo. Also, I wouldn't divest either since it's not required. Divestment is a mere feel-good placebo for those that don't want to hold our representatives feet to the fire their entire political career. Making sure he doesn't use power for personal gain is the only thing we should be concerned about, and that is true of any politician.

    I could not agree more with this statement.
