What, you mean like how the Black Lives Matter Cop killers were energized by his predecessor? First his detractors say that Trump isn't doing enough to disavow fringe groups but when he does disavow them you still have nothing good to say.

Actually I think that it's a good thing, sorry if I triggered you.

Triggered me? Is this some kind of gun hater reference?

Not as much as my comments seem to be provoking you.

Did I just hear a hammer striking a nail square on its head?

Well, what can I do about that? Stop posting?

You might hear the sound of a different kind of hammer if people don't stop digging at each other and stick to the topic at hand.

Peace is at hand!



Trump meets with the NY Times and they actually treat him with respect AND post a not bad photo.

But I guess in this new world of Post-Truth, it doesn't really matter what is said anymore, just who is saying it. And I know it's popular now to rail against the 'Lugenpress' so there's that. It's all good fun really!

Yup, Cnn is pretty slanted one way, BB the other, I agree.

But, you understand that when a gay black theater actor tweets racist and misogynist statements, CNN will ignore it, and BB will cover it. So, how does it matter that 80% of BB is outrageous distortion, when that item I posted is not?

The point you sidestepped was the arrogant jerk who lectured the incoming VP is a hypocrite.

I'm not sure why everyone is getting their knickers in a twist but for the record i'm not upset in the least.

My point was just that according to some here Trump is expected to disavow every nut that the left can dig up but if he does it's only because he's guilty of something. I guess there is just no pleasing some people!
