    Oh good lord. Are we really going to post Breitbart articles? Just for the LULZ?

    I will not dignify them with the desired click. Not one click do I give.

    Already saw this mentioned in another thread, but what the hell. Agree with B-Bob that the crap site doesn't deserve the clicks, and those who believe their garbage need to get a serious mental exam (in my opinion, B-Bob didn't say that), but it is a service to those people not aware of just how much Breitbart is made up of bull**** conspiracy claims, bizarre theories with no substance, and endless fake news. The real fake news. The Russians must love them.

    Believe me, I've seen him with and anklet bracelet. Every time he opens chrome on his phone the anklet goes off.

    The source is good enough for the President and is led by two former White House officials!

    There was a time not too long ago when that would have counted for something.

    Haha.... I don't ever want to hear about liberals being over-dramatic ever again.

    "Coup".... really?

    That being said... of course its only a matter of time before the GOP leaders finally put their foot down and say you're done here Mr. Trump. Either you do everything we say, or we impeach your arse tomorrow. I want you to meet Mr. Kelley here... He's going to take your phone and you are now only allowed to visit Kentucky.

    However... I don't think we are there yet, and I don't think Paul Ryan has the fortitude to do this. Mitch McConnell maybe, but he's going to need Paul Ryan and their donors (Koch brothers) support to finally put their foot down on the man-baby. Really the power here would be the Koch brothers, and the Mercers who can in an instant remove the president if they want to. They are like the Iron Bank in Westeros. They will fund your enemies to get their tax cuts.

    But to call what is happening now a "Coup".... is Alex Jones level crazy. I think you are just seeing the early signs of the fact that Trump either has to get in line with the powers of the GOP that can remove him from office or get removed before Christmas.

    Are chumps I have on ignore babbling about a "coup" now? I can't see them, but I can give an opinion. Hell yes, there's a coup. It happened on November 6th, 2016 and we have been living with the consequences.

    There was a coup by a group of traitors led by Mr. trump, whether he was led by the nose or not. A coup involving people in the highest reaches of the Republican Party with the collusion, the active participation of the Russian government. trump had to know what was taking place. That makes him a traitor. You idiots are in love with a traitor.

    Don't know about the rest of you, but this pisses me off.

    Donald of the House Trump, First of His Name, Protector of White Insecurity and Father of Anime Nazis, is the Legitimate Ruler of the Fifty States. You Usurpers are just usurping.

    Yes, if only journalists and bloggers had not degraded the presidency. That's the only reason. It certainly isn't anything the President himself has done.

    If only journalists and amateur bloggers hadn't made the president buy into silly conspiracy theories, lie about things as insignificant as crowd sizes, etc. If only amateur bloggers and journalists made Trump such a world wide laughing stock that Youtube videos from around the world of ex-leaders and leaders literally laughing at and mocking him. If only journalists and amateur bloggers hadn't been so idiotic, vain and pompous as to put up fake Time magazine covers with Trump's face on it. All of that and so much are in no way Trump's fault and own doing. It's only because of amateur bloggers and journalists who have lost their way.

    There is ALWAYS some fringe group that Fox News will put all over the news to stir up the insecure base into thinking they are defending America.

    New Black Panthers!
    Acorn!
    Moveon.org!
    Muslim Brotherhood!
    CAIR!
    La Raza!
    Black Lives Matter!
    AntiFa!
    George Soros backed protesters!

    As long as their a boogeyman, and usually one with a colored face, you can keep what we can now call the Trump Base rallied to the cause and it can drown out talk of serious issues.

    No argument from here. Like you said, "As long as there is a boogeyman, and usually one with a colored face, you can keep what we can now call the Trump Base rallied to the cause and it can drown out talk of serious issues." It bothers me that the national narrative is still being disrupted by the flood of lies pouring out of Breitbart, InfoWars, and the like, with help from Fox News and, most disturbing of all, the lies spewing from the mouth of the man who is allegedly President, along with his sycophants inhabiting the White House, who inhale that truly fake news and spread it across the country.

    trump cannot handle a news conference since his lies are too well known now and he's getting tough questions, so he simply doesn't have any. One recent alleged news conference amounted to a reporter from a major, respected news organization saying (I'm paraphrasing), "You said we would have a news conference today, Mr. President." trump replied, "You just had one. You put out fake news anyway," and walked out of the room. That was it. That's what trump called a news conference.

    The rare press briefings are a joke. The bizarre woman who gives them spends nearly the entire time talking about anything but what the various news organizations are interested in. That's when she isn't saying, "I'll have to get back to you on that," using that phrase at a rate I haven't seen before, despite decades of watching these things (I'm a news junkie as well as a political junkie), and I've never seen a White House spokesperson who was so poorly briefed, or simply incapable of answering questions. Spicer at least made the attempt. I respected him for that. I have no respect at all for the clown who took his job. What does come out of the White House is a pinwheel of dishonesty, flinging lies at the public at an incredible pace, literally bombarding the public with them. It's quite remarkable. The fringe "news" sources, and Fox News, who can't be described as fringe, but is a willing enabler of those lies and reporting far too many of them as fact, pump the lies out in mass quantities.

    This country is in trouble, and the trouble starts at the White House.

    You forgot the latest boogeyman they've been pursuing for some time now since the election which is "Civil War". Thats right... I am now the fringe group in the eyes of FoxNews viewers. They literally think that folks like myself, Deckard, etc. are conjuring up some secret plan (backed by George Soros of course) to take up arms against Trump, and overthrow the government and enslave Christians.

    Sounds crazy but this is LITERALLY what they are referring to lately.... CIVIL WAR.

    The worst thing folks on the Left will do is form a group like Antifa. The only thing that groups like Antifa will do is give the right an excuse to become a facist state which is why Antifa is so incredibly stupid to begin with. They need to research the history of their own organization pre WW2 and see the impact it had against Mussellini and then Hitler. It only empowered them more. What we should be learning from is the Civil Rights Movement and the power of exposing injustice on the main stage.

    But regardless... its no surprise that right wingers like Bobby, Tellv, etc. fight so hard against anything we say. They are literally being told that folks like myself and you are going to take up arms against our government and enslave their children.
