Here's what I know. Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. (1/2)

I like honest insightful reporting

If you do not understand that the media is being played, I am sorry .

And their are editors and producers that stop you from writing and saying anything you want.

If I could pick between honest insightful news and constructed bullshit , I will choose the honest.

And anything that is going to be reported on the trumpsters Midwest victory tour is going to be constructed bullshit by him.

He is leading us all around by our noses and we can't even smell his shit.

By the way, anytime a reporter from the "corrupt media" says anything during this tour that Trumpster doesn't like, he will point to the cameras and say those words we know so well, corrupt media. Why, because he was told by bannon to do that.

I would rather have my media covering what democrats are doing, not some lame brain illegitimate son of an orangutan ...

the Trumpster is not my President, and never will be. pbmus (please beam me up Scotty)

So the Trumpster is expecting everyone to report on him....in Ohio

What if we (the so called liberal media) did not...?

Take away his free advertising.

Center our reporting on Democrats. For the next 4years.

When we do report, we report the infighting and the angles he is playing the American people.

He would not get to spread his lies.. Fabricate bullshit and show how important he thinks he is,

This is exactly what faux news and other alt right media does to our side.

Take away the "corrupt media"

The Trumpster picks El Chapo as head of the DEA

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Just days after picking Betsy DeVos to run the Department of Education, President-elect Donald Trump has tapped another wealthy outsider by naming Joaquín Guzmán, known as “El Chapo,” to head the Drug Enforcement Administration.

In an official statement, Trump said that El Chapo’s “tremendous success in the private sector” showed that he has what it takes to “shake things up” at the D.E.A.

Trump’s appointment of the former drug lord surprised many in Washington, in no small part because acrimony between the two allegedly prompted El Chapo, in 2015, to put a hundred-million-dollar bounty on Trump’s head.

But, appearing on CNN, the Trump surrogate Kellyanne Conway said that the selection of El Chapo should surprise no one. “Mr. Trump always said that he would surround himself with the best people,” she said.

In this forum we all know what the Trumpster is up to on the Carrier deal ....

In this forum we all know what the trumpster is doing, why is it that we cannot get the truth out to them. Instead they get fed the lies from the limpdicks and the faux news, in other words, like the potus said today, its hard to tell the truth when every bar and restaurant has faux news on.....?????

Why don't we have an available truth teller out there....???

Are lies and half truths more entertaining..??? or what...?

We know who broke government, why can't we communicate that to the masses.?

We know the new transportation secretary is going to sign off our interstate system to the highest bidders...??? Are we just going to stand by and watch our roads become pay as you go throughout the USA ????

We all know the banking regulator is the new deregulator....?? Are our savings just another casualty of this admin????

Why is fake news and misinformation more important than real truth...??? Is it just because we all need to prove our position???

Why isn't science respected by the masses...we have a climate change denier in the admin, and as POTUS, was this due to a dumbing down of the masses by the alt right media????

Are we all just going to type our thoughts in this forum and not do anything while our country is flushed down the toilet?????

Where are our leaders....???? I heard Rep Cummings today challenge the Trumpster on his conflicts of interest and trying to explain that to a non lawyer commentator...good fucking luck...the Trumpster will give everyone the finger and continue to do business as usual...

Trump to Announce Carrier plant to keep jobs in USA

Source: New York Times

From the earliest days of his campaign, Donald J. Trump made keeping manufacturing jobs in the United States his signature economic issue, and the decision by Carrier, the big air-conditioner company, to move 2,000 of them from Indiana to Mexico was a tailor-made talking point for him on the stump.
On Thursday, Mr. Trump and Mike Pence, Indianas governor and the vice-president elect, plan to appear at Carriers Indianapolis plant to announce theyve struck a deal with the company to keep a majority of the jobs in the state, according to officials with the transition team as well as Carrier.
Mr. Trump will be hard-pressed to alter the economic forces that have hammered the Rust Belt for decades, but forcing Carrier and its parent company, United Technologies, to reverse course is a powerful tactical strike that will rally his base even before he takes office.
In exchange for keeping the factory running in Indianapolis, Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence are expected to reiterate their campaign pledges to be friendlier to business by easing regulations and overhauling the corporate tax code. In addition, Mr. Trump is expected to tone down his rhetoric threatening 35 percent tariffs on companies like Carrier that shift production south of the border.
Roughly 10 percent of United Technologies 56 billion in revenues comes from the federal government, with the Pentagon its single largest customer. Its Pratt & Whitney division, for example, supplies the engines for the Air Forces most advanced fighters and host of other planes.
While Carrier is best known for its air-conditioners, it also sells a variety of other heating and cooling equipment for homes and small businesses, like the furnaces and fan coils made at the Indianapolis factory.

Trumps Lies Destroy Logic As Well As Truth

The problem with Donald Trump isn’t just that he lies constantly, but also that he can’t keep his story straight. On Sunday, he issued forth a string of tweets about the election results and the ongoing recount efforts launched by Green Party leader Jill Stein. They advanced three separate arguments. The first tweet read: “So much time and money will be spent [on the recount]—same result! Sad.” The subsequent tweet read: “In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.” And the next two tweets formed a single thought: “It would have been much easier for me to win the so-called popular vote than the Electoral College in that I would only campaign in 3 or 4-states instead of the 15 states that I visited. I would have won even more easily and convincingly (but smaller states are forgotten)!”

What’s interesting about these three tweets is that, on the face of it, Trump’s second point contradicts both his first and third assertions. For if Trump truly did win the popular vote despite massive fraud (as alleged in point 2), then a recount wouldn’t give the same result, as he’s asserting in the first tweet. And saying that Trump is already the real popular-vote winner flatly goes against saying he would have been the popular-vote winner if that had been his goal. It’s logically possible that points 1 and 3 are right, or that point 2 is right. It’s impossible that all three are right.

Fact-checkers have done a fine job of debunking Trump’s wild assertion that millions voted illegally, although many headlines too credulously described it simply as a “claim” rather than a demonstrable falsehood. But the media response to Trump’s dishonesty shows the limits of fact-checking. Fact-checkers typically look at individual comments a politician makes and judge them against known evidence. That’s fine so far as it goes, but it simply establishes the accuracy or inaccuracy of that one statement, rather than the pattern of deception or even irrationality at work.

And the Trumpster is the POTUS , we need an intervention by the ancient aliens....

"Trump is out to create a post-truth world where his assertion of the moment is the only thing that counts." This is hitler all over again.

Trumps Victory and Inequality

What does the Trump presidency mean for equality before the law?

This blog focuses primarily upon issues of economic inequality, but a different type of equality–equality before the law—is a foundation of American political philosophy. Trump’s election threatens both.

Trump’s diatribes against Latinos and Muslims and immigrants in general received considerable attention during the campaign, as did his reprehensible attitudes about and behavior toward women.

The torrents of anti-Semitism he unleashed received less coverage by mainstream media sources, but not because that anti-Semitism was less pronounced. Anti-Semitic posts surged on Twitter; and as the Atlantic reported, “This was the year that anti-Semitism went mainstream again.”
Reporters who are Jewish–or who just have Jewish-sounding names–were subjected to vile diatribes employing words that weren’t part of public conversations back in “political correctness” days. The extent of ancient “Jew hatred” tropes and the emergence of old anti-Semitic stereotypes was chilling.
