Obama ran up the debt as well and much more incompetence.

Another 8 years of this a-hole and we would be Venezuela.

What is the point of this post? Obama hasn't been president for almost 6 months. He is now history.

A past president's legacy gets better or worse with time.

Other than trying to distract us from all the fun we are having on the Don Jr email thread , what is the point of this thead?

Perhaps you could try to get through on Hannity's call line to rehash all this crap.

 

[Hall-line-forever]

We all know that acadamia will crown him as the greatest when he will go down as not so good.

BTW

Distract who exactly?

Having fun and getting nowhere. Keep going.

I dislike Hannity, so perhaps you can watch your CBS, MSNBC, and CNN to boost their ratings. They sure need it.

Instead, it looks like we're on track to be that in just eight months.

Obama was a long way from perfect, but we're seeing national humiliation on a scale now we could've never previously imagined.

We see national humiliation because the lobbyists don't have the long-term connections to the President that they have always enjoyed. They need a new President who will fold for them. This is all about money, nothing else. I honestly don't think any of the news outlets, lobbyists, or any other corrupt group would care about Russian involvement if the government fit their agenda. Just like there is no words from Black Lives Matter on the female NYC cop last week, because it doesn't fit their agenda.

 

[Hall-line-forever]

What's the humiliation exactly?

I'd rather have Trump then a charming conniving socialist leftist like Obama.

I strongly disagree with that. Trump's campaign (and now Trump himself) is being investigated by the FBI and now a special prosecutor for months. I don't think they give a rats ass about money... and sure news outlets will want to make money covering the story, but they are not creating the story.

Everything in big business and big government is about money. To think it's not is foolish, 100% foolish. Do you think they got everyone involved in the collusion between CNN and the Democratic Party? If they were concerned about ethics, I'm sure they could have dug more and found more. If they were concerned about ethics they would care more about what Hillary's emails were about. It's not about ethics, it's about money. Let's go after Trump because he has the power to do things we don't want him to do and we stand to lose a lot of money. It's not about the money the news networks makes. It's about the money the major powers and major players stand make or lose.

Our intelligence community makes decisions based on money from lobbyists that Trump doesn't like, yet employees in large numbers?

Are you serious?

CNN is not investigating Trump. Our intelligence community is investigating Trump.

1. His twitter feed is a disgrace. It is humiliating that the "leader of the free world" would say the things he says and you have even commented on that here several times.

2. His joint press conferences have included other world leaders have literally rolled their eyes at him, and looked baffled at the words coming out of his mouth.

3. Allowing his daughter to sit at the table at the G20 in his place.

I could go on... but this is a nice brief synopsis about how much of the rest of the world views us/him.

You make it sound like there's never been corruption within our own politics and our own system til Trump. Our government has been making decisions for wrong reasons for decades.

Nobody is saying CNN is investigating Trump. There are major players, major lobbyist, and other major powers that run the show in Washington. To think our intelligence, our senators, congressmen, walk into a new meeting with clear minds and clear hearts with the average American in mind is flase. Those major groups set the narrative of what goes on. You obviously don't understand the influence money and the say multibillionaires have. And whether it's CNN, FOX, MSNBC, they don't just report down the middle. Their sponsors have an influence.

Sorry, I don't agree with the hysterical take of a foreign journalist. The US isn't bending over to the globalist power brokers? Great, that's actually a good thing for us.

I don't care about his twitter feed. He says what's on his mind, unfiltered. You're just not used to it. It's a distraction and meant for the mindless sheep in the media to consume.

His joint press conferences have been fine. Again, that's the rest of the world not being used to a guy who doesn't sugarcoat and give canned diplomatic lines that end up having zero effect on anything.

His daughter sitting in for him was a bad look, but it's not humiliating.

You say this like it is a bad thing. It is neither bad nor good. It just is.

I agree that we all should use our bullshit filters when citing any of these "MSM" organizations, but it is bad. What about truth in advertising? "Americas most trusted news", "fair and balanced", "real news"...I'll give Trump credit for calling out fake news. It may be an unwinnable battle, but he is right.

Agreed..another over reaction from Merge because he can't get over Trump winning. No credit for actively meeting with dozens of world leaders in many cases for several hours, rather than 15 minute superficial photo ops? Or would you prefer a President that spends his time on late night talk shows, meeting with Al Sharpton and Glozell...talk about humiliation.

This is 2017 not 1947 when I had to wait for the New York Herald to post the early edition to tell me what happened yesterday. If I can find it on the internet or on cable, it is part of the MSM.

Ever since I spent money on My Pillow and did not get the best sleep ever I have been unfazed by slogans. Fox news just changed it's slogan. It does not make me want to watch them more or less. The content is what matters.

The President struggles to differentiate between Fake news and news he doesn't like. It undermines his case.

Trump "struggles to differentiate" on purpose.

Look how many people here simply say "it's fake" or "I trust nothing ________ says".

This past election has successfully cemented the fact that people believe that everything is false. Except for what they want to be true.

To paraphrase George Orwell: "It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of truth (words)."

There's a point where strong minds cannot take advantage of weak minds. A strong minded financial advisor cannot take advantage of a weak financial minded person with a lot of money. Realtors and inspection people can't show a home to people and say everything is okay when the house has a ton of problems. There will be consequences such as a lawsuit. You can't just chalk it up to strong mind over weak mind.

In America each individual has 1 vote. An educated vote and an uneducated vote have the same power. The ability to take advantage of weak minded individuals because you have a ton of money and a ton of influence is wrong. And that goes for foreigners and American born.

If you're going to tout yourself as legitimate news and you're not, you suffer the consequences. No surprise the public's favorability rating of the MSM has plummeted. You reap what you sow.

Interesting. Seems more of the public trusts the MSM than Trump. Newspapers & TV. Dems and Independents at least. Seems this is a Republican and Conservative problem.

Although, I bet a bunch of people on here will say this poll is "fake news".

The question becomes how do you trust the polls especially since the election? There was all that talk of people will respond to the polls in favor of Hillary and vote Trump. Everyone laughed it off as ridiculous, but that's what appears to have happened. So the question is now do people respond to these polls truthfully?

If you are attempting to be fair you can't TRUST anyone in the media or politcs. That's sad.

National polling was fairly accurate. Clinton won the popular vote by 2% which was within the margin of error of the majority of the pollsters.

I guess you believe tens of millions of people changed their vote in the last 10 days. She had a double digit lead. This election was black and white for people from the beginning. They knew who they were voting for. I do believe some people changed their mind in the final days, not tens of millions.

What are you talking about?

The majority of polls polls typically showed her with a 2-4% lead going into election day... Their margin of error would be somewhere around 3% typically - and the far majority of pollsters were within that margin.

If you read my posts I was talking about 10 days before the election. 12-14% lead that dropped at the end. Do you really believe tens of millions of people changed their minds in the last 10 days? Yes election night it was between 4 and 6% but I don't see tens of millions changing their mind in the last 10 days to get down to that number

The election was remarkably close.

Trump won Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin by less than 1% of the popular vote. He lost New Hampshire by less than 1%.

Flip those states and we are discussing the Presidency of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
