    Love this movie.  I convinced my father to take me to see when I was in the 5th grade.  Seen it a hundred times since.  He was cool like that; never had an issue with my brothers and I watching R rated movies.  Now parents would be up-in-arms having a kid watching a R rated Hollywood movie.

    Again, the pu$$sification of America and it's mainly due to the Liberals.  So soft.  I can prove it too.  Ask most Millennials what way they lean and I'm sure at least 7 out of 10 will say Left.  Unfortunately, I'm technically part of this waste of a soft generation being born in 85.  

    Anyways.....

    If the Brown Clown can pull off 2 terms, then Trump surely can.  

    I'm sure you're really laughing though. Constantly creating daily threads about how awful your President is. How outraged are you right now?  

    It's ok man.  You don't have to be angry all the time.  If you're healthy and living in America, life isn't too bad.

    1) you have a view from the left
    2) you are not irrational 

    Those are the 2 requirements to share your opinion on my questions.
    Unfortunately, too many here do not meet #2

    In yesterdays presser there was a black woman (her race is important to this) who asked President Trump if he would meet with the Congressional Black Caucus. Trump responded by saying he would, and then asked if the reporter would set up the meeting. He then asked if they were friends of hers. He finished by saying he thinks the CBC is great.

    The MSM is all over the President for being a racist for this exchange with the reporter.
    I'm calling bulls!t, and my opinion is that the MSM is desperately trying to have the President fail, and playing the race card is always one of their go to ploys.

    What is your opinion on this? 
    Do you feel Pres Trump was being Racist?
    What do you think is more significant, the POTUS stating that he believes the CBC is great, or the fact that he asked the reporter if she was friends with them?
    Do you believe that the MSM is aware that former President Obama was in office for more than a year before he met with the CBC, yet he was never asked this same question?

    I love how he has the intellectually superior Liberals in an uproar.  They are beyond themselves.   Continue to complain and name call; Liberals take the cake.  

    So get used to it Liberals.  You open-minded, tolerant illectuals have no b@lls to begin with so the next 8 years are going to be tough to swallow.  

    I'll beat your responses to the punch.  This is what all Liberal pansies do:  



    Nice POST Slob...and Hockey Teeth...Love the Avatar..

    Slob..don't waste time responding to Q..he's a mess..

    And yes..Shep is g*y fake news

     can't wait for tomorrows appearance

    I love how he has the intellectually superior Liberals in an uproar.  They are beyond themselves.   Continue to complain and name call; Liberals take the cake.  

    So get used to it Liberals.  You open-minded, tolerant illectuals have no b@lls to begin with so the next 8 years are going to be tough to swallow.  

    I'll beat your responses to the punch.  This is what all Liberal pansies do:  



    Nice POST Slob...and Hockey Teeth...Love the Avatar..

    Unfortunately, too many here do not meet #2

    In yesterdays presser there was a black woman (her race is important to this) who asked President Trump if he would meet with the Congressional Black Caucus. Trump responded by saying he would, and then asked if the reporter would set up the meeting. He then asked if they were friends of hers. He finished by saying he thinks the CBC is great.

    The MSM is all over the President for being a racist for this exchange with the reporter.
    I'm calling bulls!t, and my opinion is that the MSM is desperately trying to have the President fail, and playing the race card is always one of their go to ploys.

    What is your opinion on this? 
    Do you feel Pres Trump was being Racist?
    What do you think is more significant, the POTUS stating that he believes the CBC is great, or the fact that he asked the reporter if she was friends with them?
    Do you believe that the MSM is aware that former President Obama was in office for more than a year before he met with the CBC, yet he was never asked this same question?



    although at times i can be very irrational, as pi in circle equations

     tends not to conform to certain measures. I like to ask as well

    do think trump was kidding.?

    The Left is basically through as far as gaining the White House anytime soon. They might not see the White House for at least 16 years. The Left has been Trumped!

    Every President has been scrutinized by the press.  Exposing abuses of power in government is an important role.  Constitution ensures freedom of the press to protect Americans right to receive truthful information about government.  In other countries, high corruption is correlated with low press freedom.  Generally, the press is still more trusted than politicans.

    True but said document(constitution) does not specifically address

    whether the government has to give correct news to the press. or if it gives any news to the press
    a bit odd as Franklin could be determined to be a member of the press at the time.
    and those founding fathers had to great lengths to instill a gag order on the man.
    press can get drunk high and end up being such blabber mouths at times ....

    For many years what you said was true ... but things are different today.

    Freedom of the press is one of the basic principals of this country, and part of what separates us from some other countries ruled by dictators.

    The definitive words in your post are highlighted by me.
    Are we receiving truthful information? 

    What happens when the press starts being terribly biased in their reporting? What happens when the press uses this freedom to attempt to shape this countries future through deceptive reporting on political matters? 

    No one who is objective can watch the news and not recognize that every last news outlet is not reporting the news, but rather spinning the news to meet their narrative.

    I think that after seeing and hearing Trump talk for the last 18 or so months that this was just a case of Donald being Donald.   Similar to when he says things like 'the african-americans' or 'the blacks'.  He's 70 years old and isn't going to change how he talks about this kind of stuff, and he doesn't script what he says so I say there is nothing to see here IMO.    He might be racist...most likely is, but haven't we known that for decades already?

    There is not a smidgeon of evidence that would suggest Trump is a racist. See the story about a young black woman who snuck into Trump Tower and eventually was given an apartment/suite from Trump. She has 3 meals a day and free rent not to mention fresh flowers every week. All by the generosity and the huge heart of DJT. Trust me. A racist would have had this black woman thrown out onto the street. The triggered Jake Tapper would never tell this story.

    The Justice Department sued his company ? twice ? for not renting to black people

    When Trump was serving as the president of his family’s real estate company, the Trump Management Corporation, in 1973, the Justice Department sued the company for alleged racial discrimination against black people looking to rent apartments in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.

    The lawsuit charged that the company quoted different rental terms and conditions to black rental candidates than it did with white candidates, and that the company lied to black applicants about apartments not being available. Trump called those accusations “absolutely ridiculous” and sued the Justice Department for $100 million in damages for defamation.

    Without admitting wrongdoing, the Trump Management Corporation settled the original lawsuit two years later and promised not to discriminate against black people, Puerto Ricans or other minorities. Trump also agreed to send weekly vacancy lists for his 15,000 apartments to the New York Urban League, a civil rights group, and to allow the NYUL to present qualified applicants for vacancies in certain Trump properties.

    Just three years after that, the Justice Department sued the Trump Management Corporation again for allegedly discriminating against black applicants by telling them apartments weren’t available.

    Workers at Trump’s casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, have accused him of racism over the years. The New Jersey Casino Control Commission fined the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino $200,000 in 1992 because managers would remove African-American card dealers at the request of a certain big-spending gambler. A state appeals court upheld the fine.

    The first-person account of at least one black Trump casino employee in Atlantic City suggests the racist practices were consistent with Trump’s personal behavior toward black workers.

    “When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor,” Kip Brown, a former employee at Trump’s Castle, told the New Yorker for a September article. “It was the eighties, I was a teen-ager, but I remember it: they put us all in the back.”

    Trump disparaged his black casino employees as “lazy” in vividly bigoted terms, according to a 1991 book by John O’Donnell, a former president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino.

    “And isn’t it funny. I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it,” O’Donnell recalled Trump saying. “The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”

    “I think the guy is lazy,” Trump said of a black employee, according to O’Donnell. “And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”

    Trump has also faced charges of reneging on commitments to hire black people. In 1996, 20 African Americans in Indiana sued Trump for failing to honor a promise to hire mostly minority workers for a riverboat casino on Lake Michigan.
