Re: Who thinks Trump is getting a fair deal from the Media?

So any senator who dies is flown around in Air Force 2 and lies in state?

The effort from the beginning was to hamstring the incoming administration, to prevent a smooth transition. The second part was to cook up a coup, which still has not been successful, and probably will not be.

If democrats take the House, their entire do all, and end all will be to prevent any and all legislation of consequence from moving out of the house.

They also plan to go full on with superfluous investigations to create as much chaos in the administration as possible hoping to advantage the selves in 2020, by side tracking anything and everything the Trump administration hopes to accomplish.

And if the American engine of prosperity sucks a valve and starts running Obama style again, we have it coming.

Think the transition Trump would have given Clinton.

No, the stuck valve is the tax cut just like Bush, eventually a crash.

Only thing wrong with Obama was that the Republicans **** when they realized where we'd be if Al Gore had continued the Clinton Boom and surplus and thought Obama was their end and they followed their racist programming, now Obama has handed Trump a smooth economy that will certainly be ripped apart by their tax reform.

He went to jail when in the military.

I did not but I did disobey a direct order from 6th Army to report for summer camp, two times. I then got a letter from the Commanding General i was reduced in rank one grade to Private 1st class. I complained to my Democratic party congressman and the next letter from the General was getting back my rank and there was no longer any duty to go to summer camp. And how about this, i got a letter of apology from the Commanding General of 6th army.

You actually think that Donald Trump controls whether or not Air Force Two gets used?
That's an incredibly lame talking point. Where did you dig it up from?

Being in the Mortgage business for a very long time, GW Bush never caused our industry to crash. He had no magic key to force the market to crash.

Oh sure, Trump has his hands all over the president's airplanes.

I know, but who is in charge of the aircraft?

Not the White House, I guarantee you that.
The presidential aircraft are Air Force, so who do you think is in charge of the aircraft, given that they have Air Force callsigns?
What exactly are you attempting to imply, that Donald Trump and the taxpayers were gracious?
John S. McCain was a lawmaker in the United States Congress. Congressmen get ferried about at taxpayer expense.
That's how it works.

Richard Simmons had a reality show. If he ran, would you complain about him being lampooned? If not, why not?
He's every bit as qualified a reality show host as Trump.
 
Re: Who thinks Trump is getting a fair deal from the Media?

McCain was an opportunist and a jerk. They all hated him until they buried him. That brought out the lovefest. ..Hypocrites...........

I can speak of the Clinton boom from two angles. First as a Real Estate appraiser owning my own firm, I saw the putrid market of Bill Clinton. I saw when the market started going up too. it was when the computer coms took off and they created the improved market and not Bill Clinton. When that market ended, it was about time for Clinton to slither off into the sunset and then it was corrected by GW Bush. Bush's market vastly improved over Clinton's. You want to learn why houses cost more and more? It is because the public wants to pay more and more. They drive the market, not presidents. When they have had enough, they stop paying higher and higher prices. Ir is simple economics and nothing a president has control over. Bush got the shaft though due to Fannie Mae and Freddie mac since he had to rescue them with federal dollars. They got into trouble and that is why the market crashed. I also saw the market of both Clinton and Bush by selling homes in that same market. I owned a loan mortgage firm so it hit me very personal in fact.

Exactly what Mitch McConnell announced in 2008.
Maybe you Republicans should consider doing something about McConnell's stranglehold. Oh wait, you LOVE the guy.

McCain was on the S list of all Democrats until he died. They did enjoy him kicking Trump in his nuts when he stopped the ACA from collapsing

You're woefully misinformed. Trump has executive use of the aircraft but the notion that he graciously allowed McCain's corpse to be transported because he did us a favor is absurd.

I feel like i am batting clean up. McConnell did not say that in 2008. He said it around 2010 ahead of the next Obama election.

I will give you one chance to prove you are correct. TRump put the flag back up for several hours. I am sure in the state McCain was in, he did not mind. He more than put the flag back up, he got nice to McCain. His reward was being treated per the media shoddy as hell. Had Trump ordered the airplane to not fly, it would never been used by the McCain family

Doesn't really matter, the fact is, Chuckiechan is complaining about the probability that the Democrats are going to put Trump on a leash. There's a reason why the GOP is probably going to lose the House. And if they lose the Senate, too...there's a reason.
That's what happens in a representative democracy when the folks in power piss off their constituents.
The media is responding to an antagonistic bully the way they should respond to an antagonistic bully.

Funny how you feel. Now you have a gist of how I felt about Obama. The unqualified man being president. True Obama did not tweet since he may not know how. But he was on the media daily. I recall wondering if a day would arrive where he was not front and center by his beloved left wing media.

I agree. Obvious lies. What kind of moron would insult Mexicans, calling them rapists but offering no proof, and get this: do it as he announces he is running for president? The media obviously made it up. Next they’ll be saying that he claimed that a Mexican-American judge couldn’t be objective in deciding a case he was involved in. How gullible do they think we are?

Where do you come up with the party line of the Democrats he is a bully. The press works overtime trying to bully our president. As to your predictions yes those resemble the predictions made during 2016.

Trump was never talking about all Mexicans. But why can't you admit that rapists show up when Mexicans cross, yes and even killers Trump says things he should not, but all presidents said things they never should have said.

This is my second reply to this comment. I do not believe I said Trump did me and you a favor. He sure did a lot for McCain's family though. Made McCain even more important than he really was.

Are you saying that there was a possibility that Donald Trump could have or WOULD have turned down the request to use Air Force Two, which one? If the latter, I'd like for you to consider the optics of such a stunt.

As to whether it was Trump that granted permission, big deal! Where does this rabbit hole go exactly?
You trying to say McCain's body would have flown via cardboard box Federal Express instead and that Trump was being magnanimous?
Please tell me how this winds up being "about Trump", because had he made a point of turning down the McCain family request, the lot of you really would have something to whine about, because the White House would have BARBECUED not only by the press but by all of Congress, and that's a fact.

The media is treating a belligerent tyrant the way belligerent tyrants deserve to be treated in a free country.
Perhaps America isn't authoritarian enough for you.
Perhaps authoritarianism isn't sitting well with America's time honored and constitutionally protected institutions.
Perhaps you have a bit of difficulty understand the role of a free press in a free country.

PRO TIP: They do not exist to kiss his ass.

I'm sorry Robert, but first, the fact that you're stating your opinion of John McCain with bluster isn't going to impress me, and secondly, I had a great many disagreements with Senator McCain because I am not a Republican, or even a conservative except on certain issues.

And I couldn't care less what you think of McCain, and I'm not impressed with the number of times you reply. Should I be?
