    "Stonewalled" is worth the time to read as well. There is evidence that someone scanned and planted classified material on her personal computer.

    Trump has a 37% Approval rating: http://www.gallup.com/poll/201617/gallup-daily-trump-job-approval.aspx

    or 38% Aggregate, https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/

    Both are very low for a Year 1. I'm not adding 10%, as that is a random rule made up by you. National Opinion Polls were only off by 1% for 2016. I'll give you 1%.

    Also that is another red herring. The public still trusts the Media more than Trump.

    Didn't realize people voted for Trump, so he would get praise. Trump claimed a boat load of achievements, mainly the economy, terrorism and the like. He shoots his mouth off, and then the snowflake complains when he is criticized. Touch sh!t for him, the job doesn't have a good feeling clause, the job requires results, whether or not it is recognized.

    RWers complaining, what else is new!!!

    With one of the lowest approval ratings in history for Y1, you can't just think it's the media who is not seeing positive outcomes and events.

    The public should not trust the Media which has devolved (with few exceptions) into transactional journalism.

    Nor should the public trust that the polls are in any way meaningful.

    He doesn't complain - he fights back which is totally unexpected by the corrupt transactional journalists which willingly participate in the smears.

    Yes. We get it. Blacks that are not Leftists are to be attacked and denegrated.

    Condi Rice, Herman Cain, Ben Carson, Mia Love, Allen Keyes, J.C. Watts, etc... etc... etc....

    You have played that card, over, and over and over again. Because with people like you it is not the content of their character or achievements, but the color of their skin that matters.

    Add to the list Dr. Carol M. Swain smeared by the Southern Poverty Law Center (which does absolutely nothing to alleviate poverty) as a white supremacist even though she is black. Her "crime" - criticizing the SPLC and suggesting that the documentary "A Conversation About Race" should be viewed as a stimulus to honest debate/discussion. Here is a link to the "undisclosed author" smear of Dr. Swain in Wikipedia.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_M._Swain

    The piece is pure propaganda, personal attack, and insults directed at Dr. Swain.

    And of course also add to the list Ayaan Hirsi Ali smeared by the SPLC:

    This Wikipedia article is fairly accurate.

    What you're witnessing is leftists inadvertently committing seppuku. yes, these self appointed smartest people in every room are quadrupling down on the same BS that sane America finally became wise to, and have been sick up to their eyeballs with since 2010.

    don't tell them, though. (as if they'd listen. lol)

    Clinton (Bill) realized decades ago - "It's the economy stupid." The D's have no economic plan - all they have are appeals to "oppressed" groups to whom they promise free stuff. Now it's single payer health insurance to go along with raising the minimum wage and economically devastating global warming energy policies.

    Way more American people voted against Trump than voted for him. His campaign outschemed Clinton's by focusing on a few key states where he won very narrow victories. To suggest that "the American people" overwhelmingly endorsed Trump while tossing Hillary to the wolves is a laughable assertion. Trump eked out a very narrow victory because he ran against one of the most hated, unlikable and constantly attacked polticians of all time and he still lost the popular vote by over three million. That said, his victory was one of the greatest upsets in all of US political history and his campaign team was brilliant down the stretch. Now President Trump and his loyal supporters should get to the business of governing by creating a consensus among Democrats and Republicans to enact the positive changes he promised in his campaign. I am seeing some evidence of this lately. My hope is that Trump somehow, against all odds is successful in his quest to make America great again. He seems to be whining less and taking positive steps to get our congress to work together and straighten out the healthcare system, revive our infrastructure and keep our economy on the move.

    I think it's great. We put up with 8 years of the right wing press trashing Obama; now that the tables are turned, it's Trump's turn; the nice thing about this is Trump gives the media all kinds of excused to go after him. My friends working in the media are making so much money in overtime it's not funny. Thanks Trump!

    Hint: merely opposing what you love doesn't make such an entity not credible, toddwv. You'll have to do better than that.

    Why don't you consult with your favorite media hit men? Perhaps they've already written a smear piece on MRC.

    Or you could get on it.

    Take CA out of the popular election and Trump wins the popular vote by ~ 1.5 million votes. He won the electoral college because Hillary did not have an economic message except to promise 8 more years of 1% growth adjusted for inflation and population growth. The rust belt went with Trump. His promises of supply side economic reforms to achieve supply side growth of 3 - 4 % won him the election.

    How did the right wing press trash Obama ?? Whatever coverage he got on the failure of ObamaCare, Dodd-Frank, and the colossal foreign policy blunder of pulling all US presence out of Iraq was accurate.

    None of that makes MRC not credible. Being hyper partisan does not make MRC not credible.

    Need a straw to grasp? Looks like your and your horde are fresh out.

    Don't let the Southern Poverty Law Center hear you. That's grounds for being placed on their hate list. :wierdface:

    99% of what the media is doing to Trump everyday is the truth as well; like I said, he gives them fresh material almost everyday.

    Certainly. Because moral relativism is bullsht. I don't hastily make false comparisons between a LW and a RW media when they are not only incomparable, but the attempt itself is puerile as it didn't consider for a moment specifics of the attacks.

    I cannot think of much more unfair or worthy of you being cut out of society than to accuse people who aren't racist of being racist.
