Times are a changing

[Montecresto]

All I know is our current string of presidents really sucked.

I completely agree!

I watched everything during the inauguration, too @drfubar , but only internet steaming services... There was NO commentary from network reporters filling in the blanks for me. (They seem to like to take jabs at Mr Trump whenever they can.)

The ONLY and BEST night of News desk reporting I've seen was the complete blindside on election night. When Exit Polls were inaccurate at best, reporters could only inject their personal opinions (as if it were America's opinions) as they fell to defeat. It was magnificent to watch and gave me a clearer picture of what Trump is up against.

So now that the networks have had the chance to compose themselves... it's not worth watching again. I've since turned them off. Nightly News broadcasts compare better to late night talk show monologues, than to actual journalism.

It's hard to Google, too. Seems like there's a hole in top search results. But it's not their fault, seriously! <--- 2011, careful... this has nothing to do with Trump (or maybe everything). More than TV, this is the MOST Dangerous type of information to guard against. Ppl seem to believe more (spin) when they "discover it own their own" by Googling. Careful to believe search engine results are without slanted agendas, too. (Or considered a viable substitute for actual research).
The people that build the internet might take opposing views/stories and place them a little further down the page than what they consider "trending."

But what fascinates me the most is how little attention (or complete lack of) Trump gives mainstream media. The more they buck, the less I believe in their abilities to produce a real news story. Trump is smart calling left leaning networks "fake news". It's a ratings game, & Trump is wining. Beating them at their own game. I call it "Trump Judo"... using their own influences against them.

From what I can see so far, he's unapologetic about his positions and
he's making good on campaign promises. I cannot doubt that he's a man of his word.

I've got a fire inside me, too @drfubar I'm looking forward to what the USA can do in the next 8 years. We've not seen a president like this in a while. Wheels are turning!

What's sad is seeing the news acting like 14 year old girls tweeting. Total lack of thought process or comprehension. News based on agenda. Old saying, can't see past the end of his nose.

Speaking of 14 year old girls tweeting, lol.

The fact that even the media is taking shots at him makes me even more hopeful about his leadership. Whats everybody so upset about? Afraid he might run the country with some common sense? Cut the budget? Not let oil industry gouge prices? Drop the price of that 200.00 toilet seat back down to 20 bucks? (Gotta be old to remember that one). It sure seems to me the majority usually gets upset over something good and goes right along with immorality. That's why rapists and child molesters get 5yrs and pot growers get 30.

I agree that some things (military secrets, etc) should NEVER be on social media. But Trump tweeting only makes me even more comfortable with him in control. Sure beats some b*tch using personal email server for sensitive materials lol. Reminds me of pres Roosevelt's personal radio broadcasts (no, I'm not old enough to have been in attendance lol). There was no political agenda. No transcript written by a team of political speech writers. Just a person talking to another person.

 

[drfubar]

Trump still moving forward. I think we finally have a President that has our collective backs.

Now that's funny comparing fireside chats with the nation articulating policy ideas, with 140 character tweets in which a narcissist lashes out at any and every criticism of himself. This president is going to have to grow some skin, laugh at himself a bit, ignor SNL, where every president since its creation has been grilled. It comes with the job, and not everybody is going to love you.

At the very least, we have hope. Which is way more than we've had in the last 3 or 4 decades.

Not everything's changing!

That depends upon who the "we" is. There were a lot of Americans that had hope when Bill Clinton was elected, and more still when Obama was elected. And in Bill Clinton's campaign he used the slogan "we will make America great again" over 20 years befor Trump adopted it. Neither Clinton nor Obama came thru. The hope usually winds up being replaced by despair because in the end you get the same things from both these parties. The national debt clock didn't miss a beat when Trump walked in last week, we are now two billion dollars farther in debt since Trump assumed the lead, and the welfare checks will still go out this month.

Would you rather we just start off with dispair?? Point I was making is we don't have a career politician at the helm. So that gives me hope. If he turns out to suck, so be it. I'll be the first to admit I placed faith in the hands of an idiot. But for now I have hope.

If you can't appreciate this, you'll not be happy. Ever.

True, we just have a narcissist who's still b****ing about voter fraud and rigged elections, a sore winner of sorts who can't stay off the twitter feed.

 

[Montecresto]

Executive orders were a bad thing when Obama was signing them, but suddenly the partisans on the right have no problem with them. Regarding Trumps EO to allow torture of prisoners again, John McCain just said that the POTUS can sign whatever EO's he wants but the law is the law and we're not bringing back torture to America.

Another way to keep liberals busy is to argue over crowd size while trump gets things done. Lol it's also funny when libs complain about who pays for the wall and how much it will cost, since when did they care about the debt?

 

[snuffnwhisky]

Where's the EO allowing torture? Couldn't find it.
