    Throwing the baby out of the bathwater appears to be rational "out of the box" thinking for people like @ipaman.

    The problem is that real people are being affected by these decisions and having a lying douchebag president that doesn't communicate his orders to the people or even his allies doesn't resemble anything remotely like genius or statecraft.

    It resembles fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

    Those traits are something both sides of any spectrum would be concerned about.

    But I didn't ask you who you liked. I originally asked you for a list of political positions from the left and from the right that you agreed with so that people would not pigeonhole you as a "rightwingnut". Instead, you named a person (Bernie). But OK, reading and comprehension challenge aside, I gave you a second chance, and asked what political positions of Bernie Sanders you agreed with since Bernie and Trump are almost diametrically opposite each other on political positions.

    And again, you failed to read and/or comprehend for a second time. Since you posted the above. And outsider/wreck things up potential could describe an anarchist. Which is an even farther extremist position than rightwingnut folks are pegging you as.

    Did you want to try again?

    On the heels of KellyAnne Conway's "fake news" about the Bowling Green Massacre,

    today, Trump claims media is covering up terror attacks, without citing no evidence
    He made the comment in a speech to U.S. service members at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, after receiving a briefing and eating lunch with troops.

    The president began talking about how “radical Islamic terrorists are determined to strike our homeland” as they did on 9/11; “It’s gotten to a point where it’s not even being reported. In many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn’t want to report it. ...........,” Mr. Trump said.

    I don't have time for that **** mang! I like trump killing tpp, I hate his net neutrality position, love border security hate a real wall. His temp immigration ban is useless propaganda for his die hards and the left went full mental embarrassingly. I hate political royalty so Hilary was a big no for me. But I do like her minimum wage position that she stole from bernie. But that's her issue, Hilary doesn't believe in anything, she changes like the wind because she only believe in herself legacy. I hate people like that.

    What people have been seeing from you is defending every and I do mean every move by this administration, maybe even harder than RL, that's saying something. That's how people get the feeling you are extreme far right.

    i'm defending the right for trump to shake things up because that's what needs to happen and your post is fake because I called out several decisions by trump already.

    I get it. You think there was something terribly dysfunctional about the status quo, with established, corrupt interests installed that would keep any reform from making any real change that would disenfranchise them. You see a need for a real change agent that is willing to break everything, because we'll be able to build something new once the old powers are broken. So, the more you see Trump defy 'the way things are supposed to be done' the happier it makes you. Because somewhere there is a fatcat who didn't get his bowl of cream. Do I have that right?

    I don't think Bernie would have been a change agent like that. He wanted to change a lot of things, but there are lines I don't think he would have crossed. Trump is a real change agent. He's not going to have respect for any institution in his way. He's going to break a lot of stuff. Personally, I think this is a terrible solution, but I think I understand the impetus.

    In Trump's White House's list of terrorist attack list that the media is "covering up" (now respun to "have not received media attention they deserve"), the White House gets called out for misspelling one of the locations in efforts to exploit these to support his Muslim ban. Oh, and note the "San Bernadino" shooting is even correctly noted as by "two U.S. persons"...

    The LA Times won a damn Pulitzer for their coverage of San Bernardino.

    Problem is...Trump doesn't read the LA Times so that counts as not being reported.

    Incredibly ridiculous. He is literally just saying whatever will make his case seem more legit if what he were saying were actually true. Sadly what he and his team are saying is made up out of thin air with no basis in reality.

    And not surprisingly, there are a list of terrorist attacks Trump is avoiding talking about... perhaps even "covering up"

    Oddly enough the media has covered the ones Trump listed much more extensively.

    The list also left all the terrorist attacks with non-Western victims such as terrorist attacks that killed more than 200 in Baghdad and Ethiopia in each of those places. There terrorist attacks in Syria by ISIS that killed more than 100 folks, but Trump left those out of the ones not covered.

    media coverage of the terrorist attacks has been extensive.​

    She misspoke and said massacre instead of terrorists. She's on TV everyday with hostile media reporters for hours on end.

    It was an accident. Not something to cry conspiracy over.

    Don't think anyone's trying to make up a terrorist attack that didn't happen.

    My god you people have gone bonkers. Literally lost your minds to go nuclear on a word mistake as trying to regain the Third Reich or something!

    Guys need to chill.

    so she claims.

    she had spread the fake news---lumping it w the so-called travel ban by Obama (another fake news)---even before last week; and she blamed the media for not covering it !

    KellyAnne is a professional, very smart. I credit her, more than anyone else on team Trump, for helping Trump winning the Presidency.

    unfortunately, she has been tasked to defend the indefensible, Trump's lies. she got caught at it.

    you do understand that she had
    • spread this fake news more than once,
    • lumped this w another fake news tidbit that,
      • because of this so-called massacre, Obama had also implemented a travel ban, no?
    it is spin doctoring by a seasoned professional political operative; it is purely intentional
