Is anyone else joyous that Fox News, Rush and Sean got in bed with Donald Trump?

Since your basic premise is false, your argument fails....

Yeah, when Donald Trump had the Access Hollywood tape and then gave the KKK that wink in Charlottesville, Fox News and Rush didn't cover for him at all.

Are people here just totally naive
 
That's like the best thing of this entire Trump era. It pulled people right out (famous or not) and made them show us who they really are. I mean who they REALLY are.

I want to thank Trump for that.

Add the Religious Right, Family Values, and so-called fiscal conservatives to that list. Oh yeah, and we can put the faux patriots on it too.

Aren't you seeing a lot of tea party rallies in your area like I'm seeing in mine?

Do you guys actually not know that this is a continuation of what was already happening?
No, it isn't. As Trump was taking over the economy was sputtering and poking along at 1.6% GDP group; DJIA had gained around 1000 points in the previous two years. We were told manufacturing jobs weren't coming back and the sub-2% growth Obama was delivering was the "new normal" - Since then the stock market is up 40pts, we've added half a million manufacturing jobs and unemployment rates are at or near record lows.

Is Fox News and Rush so good that they can con you guys on that as well?
Are Fox and Rush your favorite boogiemen from the right? You probably watch or listen to them more than I do.

Man it must be exhausting working this hard.

Just you, brother, just you. That, or you post lies and innuendo.

Can somebody here post the graphs of unemployment and all that? Post a graph of the DOW for the last 2 years as well. While you're at it post a graph of the deficit.

We need to educate this guy. He's obviously only getting his information from the Republican media.

I guess that means there was no Access Hollywood tape and Trump never said they were good people on both sides at a KKK rally.

Rush Limbaugh caused this entire mess in our country. Once he came on the air and started conning people it was only a matter of time before we had really uneducated voters.

Actually, no. I'm getting if from Congressional Budget Office, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Unemployment when Trump took over was 4.6%, it's now 3.7%, Look at the Dow from the day Trump was elected, don't try pulling any "last two years cramp".

Here's the DJIA for the last five years - they arrow shows the day Trump was elected

That's why you need to see a graph of the unemployment because all it's doing is following the same trend it was on.

And why does the last 2 years not count on the DOW? Is that some kind of Republican defense or something?

"Following the trend"? Well, yeah, somewhat. Still Trump got it far lower and brought down rates for minorities to record lows. Obama's numbers for the previous two years ran from 5.7% to 4.4%; Trump took over at 4.7% in January of 2017; by the end of the year it was at 4.1%. Since then it's dropped up to 3.7%

Which followed the trend. You really need to see a graph. Even high schoolers will understand it.

Look at the "trend" in 2016 - that's what Trump "inherited"
 
I'd suggest that no longer recognizing one's sister because of politics is the epitome of intolerance

Reading comprehension is important.

He didn't say he wasn't going to recognize her as his sister anymore. He said that he doesn't recognize the person she has become. Its not the same thing.

Wow....did you ever misinterpret the data.

So what you just pointed out is that in 2 years, Obama had the rate drop 1.3%. In one year, Trump had it go down .6%. Since then it completed the drop to 1%.

And we are supposed to applaud him dropping it less in more time than the guy before him?

How is commenting on the fact that your sister supports and defends a blatant racist like Trump "the epitome of intolerance"?

I want to thank Trump for that.

Particularly for exposing Evangelical Christians for the hypocrites they really are.

LOL, well spun, but wrong. Trump took over at what was labeled "full employment" and proceeded to drive it lower.

I do agree with that. If my brother became a Trump apologist talking head I wouldn’t say anything publicly beyond the fact that we don’t agree.

I also thought it was awful how Kamala Harris’ father condemned her publicly.

Blood is thicker than politics.

When she is promoting anti LGTB stances, it is

Do you make it a habit to make crap up about people or do you reserve using it only when you need cover to up your own bigotry?

Ol' Curtis is showing some top quality tolerance there!

And the left keeps saying it's the right that's divisive.:confused:

Where is the tolerance for intolerance!? :roll:
 
Looks like Fox News might be trying to climb out of that bed...

Giuliani was not working alone in Biden Ukraine probe | Fox News

Fox News has learned that the Pentagon, State Department and National Security Council were “unanimous” in supporting the aid to Ukraine, and that Trump acted alone in withholding the aid over the summer.

Yeah. A trend is only one specific moment in time that you can use to try to avoid the actual trend.
