    Do you know why nobody is lining up to list all of the Fox News blunders...its because its so common it's not a story. CNN doing this is news, FOX doing it every other week isn't.
    What about that time he cucked you and asked you to call him daddy haha. More of a present ..right?

    You do understand that he's paid by folks in the Russian govt. right? There is no point in even discussing anything with him. He's not interested in discussing. He will only follow the orders of those that are paying him, and he'll say whatever they wish him to say.

    And that's why you have less than zero credibility. Or you're under 10 years old. No sane mature adult can condone his behavior. Even if you criticize the media, you have no choice but to also criticize Trump for his low-ball attacks and generally boorish behavior.

    I sincerely hope you do not have kids.

    Oh, I will. Tit for tat, though. I will do this if you criticize Trump for something he has done wrong.

    CNN was wrong for covering a false story to attract ratings. They also focus too much on Trump's Tweets rather than putting them at the bottom where they belong.

    Your turn...

    The S&P 500 is up more than 12 percent

    Unemployment at a 16-year low

    Economic growth in the coming year is expected to reach 2.3 percent

    Consumer confidence at all time high

    ISIS on the run

    NOTHING TO COMPLAIN

    i appreciate what you are saying, but i think you give trump supporters too much credit here. i dont believe that most of them think he is a moron b/c they themselves are morons (some, i assume, are not morons). they think he is smart. they think he is tough. they love the way he acts and he knows it.

    and look at all the evangelicals who voted for trump...there is very little he has said and done in his life that is in line with the teachings of jesus...not to mention the three divorces, bragged about cheating on all his wives, doesnt know its second corinthians not two corinthians, bragged about sexually assaulting women, pro-choice supporter till he decided to run for president...they dont care either b/c they are too stupid to know they are being played or they have no problem compromising their morals.

    As much as as I disagree with you politically it amazes me Democrats refuse to admit Trump got a raw deal in the entire Russian coverage. Really you have a bunch of people projecting.

    "Oh he is a rotten business man he must be guilty"

    I'm like, think about this seriously, and really the Russian story has been a distraction to real news even as it just involves Russians.

    Anybody who took time out there life to read those hacked emails wasn't voting for Hilary anyway.

    Me as a Democrat, I'm just frustrated at Democrats not accepting the loss and therefore not moving forward.

    Trump may not be Presidential but he is gonna remain President.

    I didn't say future. I mean right now. If you can't find at least 5 things you can criticize Trump for, you lose, and I win.

    i dont see anyone condoning that behavior and the three reporters were fired.

    when has trump ever admitted to doing or saying anything wrong? he never even apologized for saying POWs are not heroic b/c they were captured.

    also, dont you think we should hold our president to a higher standard than cnn?

    And your obsession with the Russian issues is equally amazing. Putting aside the fact that Trump probably isn't smart enough to do what some Democrats accuse him of, there is enough obstruction smoke to warrant an investigation. Based upon what President Trump has actually said. Many of us don't doubt he was too stupid to interfere- but Trump has proven over and over again that he is an award-winning liar and would no doubt seek to cover something up if his people are involved with Russia somehow. President Trump has proven that he just cannot be trusted because he takes lying and obfuscation to a level we have not seen before in the Oval Office.

    Most of us are completely ready to move forward from the election. Maybe Trump should heed that advice.

    He apologized for saying something privately on bus 10 years ago. You know the tape that the agenda driven media leaked right before the election to hurt Trump.

    Let's not forget that Trump also applied for trademarks in China for businesses including bordellos and escort services. Has shown to be greedy, targeted the needy and elderly to rip them off his fraudulent Trump University. It boggles my mind that evangelicals can proclaim him as a blessing and God's messenger to the U.S. after the evil Obama.

    Tell that to the supporters at his rallies, including the racist, violent, gun waving militia groups that are behind him
