President Trump's speech to Congress

[mountainhorse]

For me... I'm a fan of "The Economist"
Impartial as they come...critical and in depth.

The Hill, NPR, BBC and The WSJ are also some "go to" pubs for me.
I often look at Al Jazeera for the "outside view".

For me.... FoxNews and MSNBC are far too partisan to trust.... and mostly work to inflate their own position, create scandal, and sell advertisements to their respective "believers".

Breitbart and Occupy-Dems are Fringe/Extremist 'Rags' that would be good for starting fires only... that is if they were actually in print... that would be the only value they have to me.

That's the reason I like the fact that he tweets so much.
Most of the media would not cover his opinions or worse yet twist it all to he11.
At least he is reaching the people.

Bill, he tweets like a drunken teenager with an ego problem though.

I'd like to believe that his tweets are a vehicle for "A more direct conduit to our POTUS"... but this has proven to be untrue for me.


I stick by my claim that with the preponderance of "alternate facts" contained in his tweets... that @realDonaldTrump tweets are some very misleading information from the POTUS that, now that he IS the POTUS... should be a bit less reactive to streaming media and illuminate the office which he holds in a much better, more efficient and truthful way.

So you actually think a free press is a bad thing? That's the freakin cornerstone of American democracy. Would you rather have state run news like they have in CHINA??? You want to get the truth from the media read the right, left and middle and look for the common threads. Or would you prefer state run Breitbart news as your only source, cause that's what Donny wants...

I keep hearing about his YUGE accomplishments but other than a whole lot of executive orders (something the right crucified Obama for), there don't actually seem to be any real accomplishments. Please enlighten me. Personally I don't count allowing a coal mining company to dump their filth in the drinking water of the town that their workers live in so that they can make another 0.000001% profit as much of an accomplishment.

Calling it like it is, that's good, more baseless twitter accusations at 4am. Awesome. If he was actually worth anything as a leader he would know that accusations without backup are not worth a sh!t. I'd love to see some backup, but we all know he has nothing, or it would be on the table by now.

This is gonna get a lot worse before it gets better, he has dug a hole that I don't think he can get out of.

Whoa..... back the train up. I never said I thought free speech was a bad thing. I think you implied I may have done that. I believe what I implied was that the Media agencys have manipulated things to promote there own agenda for many years, not always but sometimes. Now we have a commander in Chief who sort of puts them in there place occasionally and he's a bad guy for that??

Karma.

Yes there are too many people that want him to fail. Just as many people that wanted Obama to fail eight years ago.

Mafesto, your question was.

I'm interested in everyone's opinion to the unifying message delivered by President Trump last night.

Trump did well with his speech to congress, but it didn't take him long to wipe that out a few days later.

I want President Trump to Succeed... I truly do ...

Though...

DJT is at it again today...with TWEETS :cell ... Claiming that Obama released 122 violent prisoners from Gitmo that returned to the battle field...
I would have thought that, by now, he would stop putting out un-researched/un-verified tweets like he does.

The TRUTH, George W. Bush released 113 of those 122...

Obama released 9... NINE.

DJT seems to be grasping at straws right now for some reason.

President Trump needs to stay at the White House and tend to his own business at hand.... and either show reason for his claims or stop that wasting valuable time with unsubstantiated claims and conspiracy theories...

The latest from the white house on the wiretapping is even IF President Obama did not wiretap TT, President trump is complaining, that Obama is sabotaging him.


Makes me even more worried for our nation today than yesterday.

No evidence!

I'm sure the massive evidence is stashed with obamas Kenyan birth certificate, proof of 3m illegal votes (convenient number considering the popular vote gap), the proof of inauguration crowd size etc. This was a knee jerk reaction to sessions caving in based on a breitbart report. Seriously? If there was massive evidence where the he!! Is it and why do they even need an inquiry? I'm not too concerned about changing my opinion.

You ever read the boy who cried wolf? I wouldn't accuse any previous politician of being a saint but this guy has taken lies and deception up by several orders of magnitude. draining the swamp and getting away from exactly this kind of BS is what he was elected on. If there's evidence for any of his claims he would show it right away. This guy thrives on the swamp being deep, and he is making it deeper. If he really wants it drained stop quoting bannon and tweeting BS at 4 am and SHOW SOME PROOF for something.

No evidence!

Whoa yea, got me there, that site is just oozing with credibility... has it really come to the freakin president who makes such a huge deal out of so called fake news basing his whole existence on far right wing conspiracy "news"? I'll say it again, this guy is an embarrassment. If he has so much "proof" he should stand up in front of the cameras and have the balls to tell the people to their faces.

Ha Ha!
I KNEW that would be your reply!

Yup, almost as predictable as your non response to mountainhorse's request for 5 positives...

 

[DDECKER]

5 positives could be opinions....
1. Change! thank god! we cant keep going the way we were
2. the wall..... hell yes! I am for immigrants coming here legally not illegally
3. He doesn't back down from his views "he has balls"
4. positives you see his wife OMG! wow
5. his tweets make me laugh and I like that




p.s. why am I defending MY president to a guy that don't even live in the states? what has your president done so right or I mean optimums prime....no no prime minister...that's it! this guy>>>>>?? 1st thing that pooped up when I googled him

Call it like father, like son.
A new study by the Fraser Institute suggests Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is taking the nation’s finances down the same black hole of never-ending deficits and debt that his late father did when he was prime minister in the 1970s and early 1980s.

Nice deflection, straight outta trumps playbook. When was this ever about Trudeau? I'm an American citizen just like you, and even if I wasn't the president of the US has far more impact on the majority of other countries than any other leader. Nothing Trudeau does is gonna affect you much...

If trump actually had balls he would accuse Obama in front of the press like a man rather that hiding behind twitter knowing that most people won't take him seriously.

You are definitely reaching with the reference to his wife...

your saying I should of lead with his wife

so your an illegal immigrant to Canada?

 

[DDECKER]

o yea and I think his twitter reaches just as many as the news

are you following him?

 

[mountainhorse]

Milenia IS a hottie...no denying that !

As far as google search results though... You do realize that Google algorithms are designed to provide results based on YOUR OWN past searches and a 'profile' established for that history.... Your searches will give much different results than, say, Ivanka Trump doing the same search... for the exact same search terms.

His tweets make me laugh too Decker...But I prefer my comedy to come from Larry The Cable Guy, rather than the POTUS.

I don't care who you are...That is the best laugh I've had in a while !!! (REALLY).

1 Easy, can you say Dow Jones?
Visited with my advisor today in fact, and it's the most upbeat discussion we've had in YEARS.

2 Tweets. Might not like every tweet, but I like hearing things in his own unfiltered words.

3 Dakota Access Pipeline

4 I like his endless pissing match with much of the media. They've been handpicking their news to favor their agenda for far too long.

5 Most of all I appreciate having a President that has actually done something positive before being elected. We've had far too many that simply have never employed people, run a business. Small business owners are finally excited about their futures again!

Agreed, I had high hopes for him turning his "bit" around after the election and actually acting professional and presidential, but I have been gravely disappointed. His pre-election persona wasn't a "bit" at all, it was his personality. His insecurity and thin skin is inexcusable for a man of his position. He needs to be reigned in. Quick. It is quite obvious he's in over his head. I'm not a huge Obama fan, but you didn't see him acting like a child on twitter reacting to criticism. Get your **** together, Trump. You look like an idiot.

And where was the stock market when Bush left office? And where was the stock market when Obama left office?



Mitt Romney, who called Donald Trump a “phony”, “a con man”, a “fake”, and a “fraud”.



“His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He’s playing the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat.”



“His domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe. He has neither the temperament nor the judgement to be president. And his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city on a hill.”
