    The point is I don’t see you whining about FOX distorting when it comes to Trump. Which you clearly believe they do based on your response. So why are you being one sided?

    For the same reason Progressives are being one sided. They have no more principles than I do, but they act so haughtily.

    People support Trump because they believe he is acting in their interests and don't care about his boorish behavior. They at least are honest about it.

    Progressives act as if they were principled and are shocked at boorish behavior, but they are just acting in what they think are their interests.

    So you agree both sides are one sided. Great.

    Sure. That is an inevitable consequence of having sides.

    I take that to mean you have no interests. Or at least your interests are so unusual they don't strongly coincide with either side.

    Allegiance may be too strong a word for me, but I support all those and only those politicians which, in the main, advance my interests and only so long as they continue to do so.

    And I don't require them to be goody two-shoes while they advance my interests.

    Trump Fixed our Economy.That is already part of written History.
    Trump is Not In the least responsible for our deplorable Public Education
    spectacle.Terrible math and verbal scores.No comprehension at all of
    civics.Democrats made that Move in the 70's to Stop teaching Civics in
    Grade school and High school.Listen to Hollywood Richard Dreyfus explain
    that on Fox's - Tucker -.And Dreyfus is a Hollywood Liberal.
    Obama ran up The Hugest Annual Budget deficits in History.
    Obama averaged Over $ 1.2 Trillion in Budget Deficits throughout his
    first term.Bush 43 had a Budget Defict in 2007 of $ 162 Billion.For context.
    Trump helped dig us out from Obama's failed Economy and way of life
    for our Middle Class.The last census stated that for First time in America
    our Middle Class fell in Decline.On Obama's watch { 2014 };
    Trump was treated like a Rock star at the last 2 Davos summits.
    Trump became a force for needed change in Trade relations around
    the world.
    He also solved the isis problem which was created by the Mal-admistration
    of Obama and Hillary with their Arab Spring nonsense.By Ousting an Egypian
    President { Mubarak } and then having Gaddafi assassinated.Taking
    over Libya w/o as much as consulting Congress.
    Paving the way for Radical Rebels and then Al-Qadea wanabees.
    Under Obama the Country was treated to daily mockery of the Tea Party
    in favor of - Occupy Wall Street - Then - BlackLives Matter -.Now - Antifa -.
    Under Obama drilling was deemed really unnecessary.Causing elevated
    home heating issues each winter.
    Trump fixed that.And a Whole lot more.Trump exposed Obama's
    Deep State.Whereas Obama was greeted all throughout his 2008 campaign
    with admiration with his Manifest pledge of - Hope & Change - plus those
    greek columns as if some Greek demigod.

    Bush’s last fiscal year 2009 had a debt level of $1.4T [CBO]
    Obama’s total debt was $6.79T [CBO] meaning his average yearly debt was $848.8B
    Of course the middle class fell, we were in recession — the middle class is about to fall again
    trump is on pace to surpass Obama’s eight year debt in four.

    trump has done nothing but prop up failed policies through massive debt, fed stimulus, rate reductions, and QE.

    Not in Obama's First 4 years.It was over $ 1.2 Trillion annually.
    What is the relation of $ 848.8 Billion for 2 terms to Bush 43's
    one year of $ 162 Billion.
    Obama made a big deal by using his slope chart where Bush had
    a rising slope and Obama a falling slope.The reason. is simple.
    Obama ran up by far the Biggest yearly budget deficits in American
    history.So any reduction in Deficits in his 2nd term { Under a Trillion }
    was seen as if some Godsend.
    Bush did spend like a drunken sailor in 2008 and was credited with
    Fiscal year 2009 { even though he was Out of office } as is how
    Budget Deficits are shared by the New and Old President in a new
    Presidency $ 162 Billion is appx. 20% of $ 848.8 billion.
    So Obama outspent Bush 43 on his average by 5 fold.
    In his first term Obama outspend Bush 43 by a whopping 9 fold.

    Obama had no say in the 2009FY budget.
    Bush’s last budget was $1.4T
    Try again.

    Just for the record was that 1.41 T inclusive of Obama's
    First Major Bill { The Stimulus bill of 862 Billion }.
    It was called by Obama numerous times as URGENT.The need
    for shovel ready jobs.
    What a pile of bunk.By the fall of 2019 less than 10 % of that
    $ 862 Billion was used.

    I say you watch too much Fox News!

    Worse! You repeat too much Fox News.

    All Presidents are attacked by the media while they're in office. Because attacking the President is what sells!

    Only Trump would be so stupid to believe that they attack him because they hate him.

    On second thought, I'm pretty sure he knows that's not true. He knows why they attack him. He knows he's not up to the job. And he most definitely knows all the crimes he has committed. He just needs an excuse that only his followers would believe.

    One would have to Watch Fox in order to make that declaration.
    Which is why I like mocking MSNBC.I watch just enough each day to
    turn me stomach.
    If not for Fox and Talk Radio this country would be in the throes
    of a Banana Republic mindset.Which it partly is ... as I speak.
    BTW Obama was a lazy bullcrapper.Not once had he arrived ON TIME
    to a Press Briefing.Not once.Learned it from another slacker { Slick Willy }.

    We did have a President the Media hated. His name was Barack Obama. Fox News hated his guts, and slandered him for eight years. It's what made them lose their credibility as a network, instead of simply opposing leftist views. Now that same network is acting as the propaganda machine for Trump. Especially in primetime hours.

    Go figure.

    Sure, it's not like we can't see him speak for himself, as if the media never gives him air time!
    Or we can't read his hate rants on twitter because they are private, no it must because our only way to know about him is second hand.

    Hannity is actually a one trick pony.Basic same talking pts.each and
    every night.I can see how his style gets on ones nerves.
    Maybe on account he don't drink or Smoke or even play golf.
    Just Tennis.O'Reilly had the same problem.
    They need to have a hobby.Besides harping on each and every word
    they udder.
    I support and trust Hannity.But he's too predictable.You listen to him
    one night,and it's basically the same script the next week and next month and
    following season.I'd say if he was an actor he'd be classified as a " B " grade
    actor,at best.
    Now - Tucker - is The One.Has all the right ingredients.He's been at it longer
    than Hannity.Tucker was a CNN Crossfire debater.Then had his own
    11 PM show at MSNBC { starting in 2005 } where Rachel Maddow cut
    her teeth.Also Willie Geist.Plus a gal who remains a mystery Flavia Colgan.
    Maddow and Colgan played Devils Advocate to Host Tucker Carlson's
    heady blend of Conservatism and straight talk.With the right mix
    of Philosophy and level-headedness to unravel a couple Leftist chicks,
    no end.

    A Country does not hire-on a POTUS to act as a
    mascot or even Press Agent.But a leader.One willing
    to work all hours of the day and achieve things.Not talk-up
    things,like Obama.Obama was never prepared to be a POTUS.
    Never even had a part time job as a kid.Unless one considers working
    a couple weekends at Baskin & Robbins in Hawaii.Plus he was NOT
    from any hood.Went to a rather expensive Private school.
    How did he go from a Liberal arts College { Occidental } into Columbia U.
    We will never know because as Very First EO { Executive Order }
    One day after being Inaugurated he penned EO 13489 { Jan.21,2009 }
    Which authorizes the National Archivist to make sure ALL Obama's
    educational and personal information { Social Security,Travel,Passport etc.}
    To be SEALED

    Devastating attack: "Obama was late to press briefings" I mean, next to that, things like Trump's criminal acts, or establishing a policy to separate children from their family, or ... lying to people in the middle of a health crisis (to the point where people have died for believing him) seem "puny" in comparison, don't they?

    You understand how budgets work, correct?
    The $1.4T was signed into law by Bush.
