What sites would you have preferred? MSNBC? CNN? The very networks that have a clear bias AGAINST our President? The Democrat dominated news media will look at anything Trump does and try to smear him.
I honestly think that this gets to the crux of it. At the end of the day, you've lost track of what's reliable and what's not. And in this day and age where everyone and their mother has an angle, I can't blame you. So please... believe me.... yes, CNN and NBC news are much more reliable than Britebart, The Washington Examiner, or The Daily Caller. The former might be flawed... they are sensationalist... and they too bow to their corporate interests.... but they are legitimate news networks. They are manned by professionals; they have a code of conduct; their goal is to present what's going on and yes - to give their views on what that means. The outlets aren't biased against Trump.... they just share the view of most reasonable people that throwing away decades of precedent without deliberation is a bad thing. The likes of the Daily Caller are not reliable in any way shape or form. They proudly proclaim their bias; their primary purpose is to be conservative leaning commentary. And there is an entire industry based on extracting money from conservatives.... far and beyond anything on the liberal side.
This is not hard to understand.
NYT, WaPo, Chicago Tribune, USA Today, TIME, CNN, NBC - reputable, professional news agencies, manned by educated journalists... armed with years of journalistic success. They exposed Watergate. They got us the Pentagon Papers.
Britebart, The Daily Caller, OANN, Fox News, Washington Examiner, Limbaugh - these are unreputable, money making organizations with the primary goal of making money from naive and gullible conservatives... usually older, less educated, white. They are manned by bloggers and those who proudly wear their political agenda on their sleeve.
There's a difference. You should look into it, and avoid these conservative shuxters in the future.
Heck, they used Diet Soda, paper towels and the size of his hands as attacks. They're that desperate. CNN's own Kathy Griffin did a mock beheading of him.
Fox used a tan suit and spicy mustard as attacks. They called him a socialist. A Muslim. A closeted gay with his transgender wife. An extremist. The Anti-Christ. They burned him in effigy. Caricatured him as an ape.
And by paper towels, you mean Trump throwing needy, hungry Puerto Ricans paper towels? Cause that was a ridiculous moment and totally deserving of criticism.
And hey, I'm laying out facts here too pal. Several links worth of all the good Trump is doing for our veterans and you're ignoring all of them with your blind hatred of Trump.
1) Your facts are suspect based on the citations you are using. It's that simple. Find actual journalism operations if you want to spread facts... not conservative tabloid garbage.
2) You're laying out one side of the story, and refusing to acknowledge the other side. Obama did a lot of good things for Veterans too. He signed a lot of bills. But the proof is in the pudding, and it's not about the bills you sign or the statements you make... it's about the effect you create. And telling a small portion of the country that they aren't good enough to protect our freedoms because we disagree with their choices is not pro-military, not pro veteran. So if we're going to have a conversation, it has to be holistically, where we take into account the good and the bad.
Is Trump a perfect guy? Of course not. I'm not calling him some saint or messiah. He's got an ego. I imagine He's probably lived quite a wild life in his younger days with all of his wealth. But he is delivering on his campaign promises. He is fixing this country for the better. The media are the ones dividing the country with their constant racism and sexism accusations, riling up gullible people stupid enough to fall for their lies.
He lived quite the life in his older years too, having cheated on his 3rd wife with porn stars... 2 that we know of. And then there is admitting to sexual assault on tape.
He is not delivering on his campaign promises. Is the Wall getting paid for by Mexico? Has he delivered a new insurance system that provides better care and lesser cost?
This is unbelievable. The President says controversial... racial things, and you get mad at the media for telling their viewers about what he did. Like, no one forced him to mock a disabled reporter. No one said it was a good idea to insinuate that certain reporters don't like him because they are on their period. Those are just terrible, stupid things to say. And the media reports it. What's the problem?
And this golden calf talk really is a bit much. (JESUS CHRIST is my only God. These far right people can piss off with their 'god-emperor Trump' blasphemy) Supporting Trump is far different than outright WORSHIP of him. I've already stated in the past that I have my own disagreements with the President on issues (reversing the trophy ban on Elephants, cuts to food stamps, undoing Obamacare)
Look - I'm sorry.. but it's not. If you are a Christian, then you are acting as a Christian in name only by supporting President Trump. He is the complete opposite of what Jesus professed, and by voting for him... you are saying that Trump's teachings are more important than the teachings of Jesus. What are these teachings? Hmm... Well:
You should only help someone if they can help you too.
It's okay to lie and steal if you can get away with it.
If you are transgender, you deserve to be treated differently than everyone else.
Hurt your friends. Befriend your enemies.
He's just antithetical to the God you do worship is all... which makes it strange to side with him on things like discriminating against gay people, kidnapping children, condoning attacks on innocent journalists, etc. These two roads diverged, and you went with Trump... which means that you are valuing his word over that of the Lord.
but I still support him on a majority of other issues, such as the wall, his stance on abortion, the booming economy and his progress in the fight against ISIS.
The Wall is a useless symbol and nothing more without manned guards. You know this.
That all abortion should be illegal? ... that's evil.
The booming economy isn't because of Trump.
The fight against ISIS was pretty much nearly won before Trump got into office.
If you don't like him, hey that's fine, it's a free country. But I have just as much of a right to be here supporting him as you do to be here criticizing him. I don't think I should be railroaded by everyone anytime I post anything showing Trump in a favorable light.
I appreciate this sentiment. I do. No one likes to be railroaded in these situations. I've been in these type of situations where the group think was against me, and I couldn't convey what I was really trying to say. I get how frustrating that can be. But this is a public forum bro. It's meant for discussion and polite debate. When you bring up positive things about Trump in this space that are incorrect, we're going to point them out. And that's us being good friends to you... believe it or not. You're wrong, but that's not because you are dumb or cruel... you just haven't been properly exposed to reality yet... so we're trying to help you out.
It's ****ing crazy how much hatred, paranoia and fear of the voters on their government have led them to this insanely corrupt administration.
