I don't believe that a change in Trump's tone (mean things) would have no effect. Right now he is a flamethrower and belligerent. He could turn it down and have less blowback. But right now he wants to be the BMOC, and that will probably not change. He enjoys the conflict and chaos that he creates.
I think he has turned it down. He was more of a flamethrower (I like that description btw) during the Republican primaries. If you listen to him now, he doesn't really say much that anybody should find too offensive. Then again, I have a very high threshold for what I consider to be offensive.
Besides, there is the whole words versus actions thing. No matter what he says, responding by attacking some random innocent person is never acceptable and we should not lose sight of that.
need to re-read what I wrote above and if you do you will clearly see that I said it is "sad" and a "shame" that "bullies on both side of the fence" are coming out of the woodwork. So, I have no idea what both of you are trying to achieve by manipulating it into something else.
You drop those little nuggets in the middle but 95% of what you say blames Trump for everything... the intent is not all that hard to figure out. You are just leaving yourself a wormhole to crawl out to claim objectivity.
The middle to far left, the left political leadership, and the media left has been fueling this fire for a long time, well before Trump in fact.. that everybody on the right is a bunch of racist, bigot, homophobic, deplorables who act like Hitler. So in that sense, when the rank and file goes on the rants of destruction and violence, they are really just doing what the leadership is pushing them to do.
We were all told that when Trump was elected, violence against Muslims, women, Hispanics, blacks, would escalate because rank and file republicans felt emboldened to do it... there have been incidents but many were proven to be fabricated. Well the left is doing the EXACT SAME THING, they are inciting people to violence and then passively suggesting that they oppose such violence, while still blaming the violence on the right...
Marco Rubio gave a passionate 8 minute speech on the floor of the senate the other day calling for order in the wake of the Republicans shutting down Elizabeth Warren from speaking. It was very well prepared and delivered speech and said exactly what some of us feel.. that if the US Senate cannot be civil in debate, then how can we expect anybody else to be civil... and the comments below it from the people who watched it were nothing but hate-filled, blame, mostly by the left, calling him a hypocrit and saying this is what we deserve..
So sadly, I don't expect it to get better any time soon. Trump is acting like a petulant child with his Twitter and his rants and his not staying on topic. Call him a bully, call him a snowflake, whatever the term is and I will likely agree with a lot of it.. that doesn't excuse anybody elses actions.
So now being reported that Michael FLynn did in fact talk to the Russians about sanctions in December. Also reported that he lied during confirmation hearings about this and VP Pence implicated as well...
All this fake news, whatever happened to the truth? Hail the glorious leader.
I thought these guys would stumble, bumble and rob us. I thought they might break the law at some point but would always operate in the grey area. I thought impeachment at some point would at least be brought up.
I never thought I'd see these things in the first month.

Who needs Barnum and Bailey when you have a circus everyday in the White House?
I heard one of Trump's adversaries bring up 'Removal from Office' last night and today I'm hearing violations of the Logan Act.
You just can't make stuff like this up. It's better than a soap opera, really it's better. A slow motion trainwreck where we all know the ending is going to be bad but we can't stop watching to see just how bad. smh
I love how conservatives out here talking about fake news even though they post from Briebart, infowars and stupid blogs.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

I just did a DawgTalkers search back 3 months and could not find anybody who posted anything from Infowars. Are you imagining things? The search results were mostly about people complaining about Infowars, but I did not find one single link to that site although it's certainly possible I missed them. Forum searches are not as robust as those attained with search engines.
By the way, how you feel about Fox and Breitbart is about how I feel about MSNBC and Huffingtonpost. It's a matter of perspective.
She posted nonsense from stuff like that all the time. Her wmd.com link about Hillary being a lesbian and all that.
I'm not imagining anything.

I can't keep track of all the different sites out there other than all the ones you have mentioned have a right-wing bias. Some are higher quality than others. But what does Infowars have to do with wnd?
Ya know, like the general topic of this thread? Am I not allowed to post fake sites just like you posted a list of fake news links?

I personally try to avoid Infowars. It is a little too far 'out there' for my liking. I'm not as familiar with wnd. I thought I had read some good stuff there before but like I said, it's hard to keep track of all the different left and right wing websites.
Which in today's political climate, I've been looking at more international new sites. From the outside looking in, if you will.

Did you hear about the latest spokesperson for Ivanka Trumps clothing line? None other than Supermodel Kellyanne Conway!
"Go buy Ivanka's stuff, is what I would tell you. I'm going to. I hate shopping and I'm going to go get some myself today," Conway told "Fox and Friends."
"I'm going to give it a free commercial here."

I mean, while we're busy hating, I'm sure Ivanka's clothing line is popping off the shelves at Petsmart and Trader Joe's.

I saw the live video feed when it happened. I didn't think it was possible to for the US to sour relations with Australia.
But Trump has gone beyond the call of duty, apparently.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Oh, I'm not saying that some things he does won't upset me. What I'm saying is most of it's just stupid. His need to attack everyone who doesn't agree with him. To make up stats and statements that are in no way true.
And it's kind of fun to point those things out to watch his supporters go bonkers by trying to blame liberal media and those who disagree with Trump as the root of the problem.
It's great to see those snowflakes point fingers and whine.

I think if dude just laid off of Twitter, and at least attempted to sound more presidential when it comes to policies, a lot of the backlash would cool off a bit.
To be fair, my peeps are acting like a bunch of spoiled children right now, but that does go both ways, because the biggest baby currently sits in the oval.

I,m really confused with you lefties cause your insulting K.Conway for making a harmless remark that your left press and you guys are making a mountain out of a molehill,but never mention the absolute craziness of sanctuary areas that protect major criminals cause they are illegals or Chicagos horrible minority murder rate ,poor education for minorities,jobless rate for minorities all cause you don't like Trump but guys like RAUM EMMANUAL are heros to the left wingers...stunning
What the heck are you talking about? Trump has been in office weeks and your trying to blame him for all the problems that we have,come on Pit I know your smarter than that or least I am and actually I wasn't complaining I am stating fact that you don't like...sorry
I don't mind. Actually I would support The Executive order had it not been done in haste. It was written so poorly that it included green card holder and people who already established residency. It was just rushed and not well thought out. From what I've been hearing, they may plan to rewrite it. That would be the smart thing to do.
I don't uphold sanctuary cities, but at this point, the only one who can address it is the GOP. I'm hoping they can find a legal way to withhold federal funding from those cities.
You see, I'm not a "liberal". Neither am I conservative. But that's the mistakes both sides make. They label anyone who doesn't agree with everything they want.
The fact is, there have been a lot of lies and rookie mistakes made by this administration in the very early stages so far. I'm sorry you don't like that or don't like people pointing them out. But there are things I agree with them about. They just need to be a little smarter and a lot less defensive. It makes them look petty and weak.

I was watching CNN tonight and their top story was what snl has to say about Trump. And they went on and on about it.
Seriously? These people consider themselves a news outlet and this is the best they can do? Blabbering on about what a bunch of washed up liberal crybaby actors have to Say? That's news? Between their racist biased commentators and their non news / fake news, I have lost all respect for that channel. No wonder they have bad ratings.
