    You forget that the only credible news sources are those that advance President Trump's agenda. If a poll is negative, then it is a false poll. If the exact same poll posts positive results, it's a great and accurate poll. Job reports are misleading and inaccurate when they posted positive numbers under President Obama. The same polls are great and accurate when the post positive numbers under President Trump.

    How's your echo chamber holding up? Right wing media has been killing it lately pushing their narrative.

    Everyone has their own echo chamber. However objectively Trump has been a pretty big liar with his claims. If you believe in gravity then you should believe that Trump spurts a lot of BS.

    I'd have much less of problem with him if he would learn to shut his mouth and focus on his policies.

    So is it fair to say that you believe/agree with all of the claims made by Trump and his administration referenced in the original post?

    huh?
    "That was the largest audience to witness an inauguration, period. Both in person and around the globe."
    “I'm like, wait a minute. I made a speech. I looked out, the field was, it looked like a million, million and a half people.”
    So in what way did WaPo mislead with their biased, incomplete & half-factual reporting?

    In what way would Mexico reimburse the cost of the wall? Doing so would amount to political suicide for whatever Mexican politician & political party that agreed to this, and any of unilateral actions that we can take will either be ineffective (trying to tax remittance) or not paid by Mexico (tariff, border adjustment tax)

    So negative. Need to be more balance. Should state the most insightful truth. I think, so far, that is there is fact, and there is alternative facts.

    I think this post shows what you know of the media. We'll leave it at that.

    This is awesome. Any news source that isn't a GOP lap dog has no credibility. Fox News, Breitbart, White Supremacist News is credible though. Nyuck Nyuck. Right out of the Fascist playbook. Joseph Goebbels would be proud.

    Your efforts to defend Trump and his lies are so cute...

    Numerous reports on his claims about crowd size at the inauguration:

    http://www.rawstory.com/2017/01/tru...showing-off-photos-of-his-massive-crowd-size/
    http://www.mediaite.com/online/dona...is-abc-interview-by-talking-about-crowd-size/

    Here he gets ridiculed for pressuring the National Parks chief to come up with photos that prove his lie:

    And last, the final photographic proof hopefully putting an end to Trump's lie about crowd size...

    You really have taken all necessary steps to preserve your liberal echo chamber! Hope you don't get triggered!

    More Trump lies.

    1. After asking the Russians to hack Hillary's emails, he first claimed he meant so that they could be turned over to the FBI. This was a lie because he already talked about the press rewarding the hackers. Then he claimed that he was only joking and people shouldn't have taken him seriously. This is obviously untrue because if your joking you don't claim to have said it so that they could be turned over to the FBI. So those two are big lies.

    2. Trump lied about knowing or not knowing Putin. He's said both, so one of them was obviously a lie.

    Trump is a born liar. He contradicts himself on a regular basis.

    I literally spit up soda when I saw that story.

    The president of the USA is an honest-to-god clown. Big floppy shoes and red nose and everything. I'm laughing at him and more so at the army of people contorting themselves to try and make him seem sober and serious from Spicer down to the man on the street like bigtexxx.

    Trumpy the Clown.

    Well said.

    I think that Mr. Trump has gone somewhere 'round the bend and into fantasy territory. Had someone claiming to have been from the future told me a year ago that we would have a president in the White House saying what Trump has been saying, and doing what Trump has been doing, I would have laughed in disbelief. Now I am starting to worry. Someone who could make those claims against former President Obama, who ignored numerous chances to walk those bizarre tweets back, and who now has his press secretary literally making a fool of himself in front of the nation's press and the rest of the country attempting to explain away what Trump has done, could very well lead this country into a war. Either by accident, or on purpose because he has lost the nation's confidence. Going to war to win back popular opinion is as old as the concept of the nation state, in my opinion. I think it is a real risk with this man in the Oval Office. I sure hope I'm wrong.
