Perhaps if the people doing the hiring aspired to act better than those who represent them, maybe we'd a) get a better quality representative and b) be more inclined to take action when those who are supposed to represent us disgrace what they were hired to do.

There's a blind spot in focusing so much on how other people should act and being held to a "higher standard" that it subconsciously lowers the standards for ourselves, at least on large, political scales.


i agree, and have repeatedly stated that. people have to vett better.

but maybe we should add some standards on top of that. like a little bit more requirements to run than just being 35 years old and a naturalized citizen?


I wouldn't be opposed to the idea. It would be interesting to see what people propose.

Yet Rosenstein oversees the investigation that's ran Mueller who are both Republicans. Only morons buy that BS you're spreading.

Free Press? 90 percent negative coverage on Trump.

Trump picking on McCain? Go read what the Left and the Dems had to say about McCain in 2008. NYTimes called him a Racist.

Obama? Well we are still fixing that mess.


Honestly, you are the most FOS person I've ever met...

90% of what Trump does deserves to be mocked.. He's an idiot.

Any response to any problem that relies on "whataboutisms" isn't a compliant, it's an excuse..

When Obama took over, the economy was in the dumpster... I know you can read,, all you have to do is try it sometime.

8 years later, the economy was humming right along, Records were being set.. Real ones, not those propped up by giving tax breaks to the wealthy and to Corporations.Trickle down econ doesn't work for anyone except those at the top.

What exactly do you think Trump is fixing that was broken? let me guess, the rich weren't getting enough, they had too many restrictions on them.. (the banking community deserved to be under the microscope)

You don't have a clue,, you just blindly follow the Orange One.

Was Obama perfect, No.. By no means was he perfect. In fact, I say not one president was.


You still think 40 isn’t a troll?
Really?

I stopped reading his nonsense long ago. Or if I do read it I do so for the comedy. I read it in the voice of a right wing Trevor Noah talk show host.
I’d advise doing the same.


I've always thought he was a troll,,,, But there are people out there that don't know that..

Some people are so blinded by hatred that it clouds their judgment. Many of them don't realize it, although some do and carry on anyway. I'm sure I've been one of them at some point.

I don't think there is a solution for this unfortunately.

I’m glad you set the standard though. Imma start posting all the racist ass comments on Fox News, since the comment sections counts as mainstream media now.


Twitter aint the MSM...yes you are right....but when your internet news feed leads with articles about the Twitter reaction...and cherry pick the reactions that are aint Trump....then yea by default twitter and the twits that use it become defacto MSM.

So you continue to prop up two individuals who failed to respect women, and now you bring up another.

And yet there it is. The blind man at the strip club again.

You see, the blind man hears how great the strip club is. Yet when he goes there, his experience is that the drinks cost too much and he doesn't see what all of the excitement is about. The reason he doesn't get the full experience is because he can't see it.

Trump surrounds himself by a bunch of crooks, has the morals of an alley cat and the rope is being squeezed slowly around his neck.

The difference between the blind man and Trump supporters are simple. The blind man can't see but Trump supporters refuse to see.

Another difference is they blame their blindness on others by saying the others are filled with hate when actually those others just have 20/20 vision.
