Sucks that Trump’s a Dick.
Because he does good things and says stupid shit.

I rather have someone who's a dick but gets stuff done, vs. someone who's nice and screws the nation.

On a side note, I like the fact that he's not PC or afraid to fight back.  Don't take shit from nobody attitude.

On the first broadcast of the CBS Evening News with Nora O'donell yesterday, it was non-stop Trump bashing.
Pretty disgusting. They edited together every anti-Trump sound bite for the last several years trying to make him look like Satan reincarnated.
 Clearly, Nora is completely on the warpath with the White House. Unbelievable how anybody who calls themselves a journalist can do that.

There is a code for journalism, never make the story about you.  Get that rep who refused to be alone with a female reporter.  It made the head lines for a few days and she was on all the major channels.  Well I remember when they made fun of Pence for not dining alone with a woman besides his wife.  A man with zero sexual harassment allegations.  Not so funny now.

some viewer comments...

would rather have Jeff Glor. Already had an attitude on her first night. No warmth or affect, just a robot for the Democrats.
----------
Hope you fall on your face, if you can’t give the president of the United States any respect then that’s what you deserve
-------------
Sorry CBS loved Scott Pelly loved Jeff Glor. Norah not so much. I’ll watch NBC nightly news now.
-----------------
Norah Boring. No emotion, just a pretty face. Big mistake to start the first show by dissing the President and promoting the 4 noisemakers in Congress. That’s when I switched channel. Why would you ever trade Jeff Glor in of O”Donnell??
 -----------------
Uninteresting reporting, shows tremendous bias on political stories, and is not equal to the many fine journalists of the past at CBS.
Replace her ASAP! Thank you
-----------------
Getting rid of Jeff Glor was a big mistake. HUGE! Switched to ABC tonight. I’ll watch on Friday to see Steve Hartman’s “On the Road “ segment but will fast forward to that. Won’t be watching Norah O’Donnell!
----------------------
I agree that getting rid of Jeff Glor was a major mistake. It will reduce ratings even more. Norah O’Donnell is a talented professional and is a great anchor. But so is Jeff Glor. I am watching Norah’s first broadcast and she’s not going to make it. She looks to me like she is trying to portrait herself as a serious journalist and wants everyone to overlook her looks. Big mistake! She’s so stone-faced that she is not enjoyable to watch. She needs to smile and be a human being. This is not good.
-------------------------

Translation: We are going to continue operating as the mouthpiece for the Democratic party
---------------------
I agree she is too biased. Spent a lot more time on Trump than David Muir did on ABC. I got a lot more news from ABC than CBS. Will watch ABC going forward.
------------------------

Unfortunately just a continuance of the political bias that has permeated the news on cbs
-----------------------
I almost changed channels when you definitely appeared to show your dislike for Trump. Anchors don’t take sides.
I stayed with you and thought you did a good job the rest of the way.
---------------------
 Sorry CBS, I liked Jeff Glor much better. Please bring him back, It’s so obvious Norah is there to put down the President and his party. I have watched cbs news since Walter Cronkite but will watch Lester Holt now

Didn’t see the CBS/Nora thing, but “news” outlets definitely seeing push back from viewers. Recall CNN’s ratings plummeting. Even MSNBC mocking the “journalism” of Lemon.

I have completely cut off TV news and cable. I refuse to spend my money to fund these propaganda outlets. Hundreds of channels, yet 99% are spewing anti American garbage.

Haven't had cable, or watched any "TV" news for 3 years now.  I just watch internet tv and things that interest me.

I'll sort though my own "news" via the social media outlets. At least that way I can get more than one side of a story. And most times, seen the actual unedited clip in its entirety, and form my own opinion. Not an opinion forced down my throat. 

Read trump's tweets. I didn't see anything racist about it. More like, if you don't like the USA, then well, you are free to GTFO. 

Can't stand they way they are spinning it as racist.  Hope people are smarter than that.

Have you tried watching European or Asian news? They much less opinion. Yeah, still have some Trump hating going on, but a lot less. At least what I’ve seen when I was traveling overseas.

I was watching Taiwan news and they were reporting on actual stories of events.  Murderer caught, accidents, Huawei blocking, trade negotiations, etc...They didn't make up stuff like how our fake news does.  But then again, not sure if Taiwan has 1A so they can talk against the government.  It was a nice break from the BS that our news spills.

I was thinking of ending my Spectrum also because I don't really watch the shows anymore.  I need to research into alternative streaming channels.  I got Netflix and Amazon Prime, but even those are getting boring due to I saw almost everything they have.  Fire stick maybe?

You should start a "cutting the cable" thread.  Depending on your budget, your preferred channels to watch, and how much time you spend watching, there are many options.  With the money you save on cable, you can afford yearly subscriptions to your favorite news and entertainment providers.  I have a fast Road Runner connection through Spectrum, but no cable TV service.  I have more control and plenty of choices on what to watch.

If you want detailed discussions on the topic, best to make a separate thread.

Crowd chants, "send her back" as Democrats double, triple, quadruple their BS rhetoric Trump said something "racist"....  I certainly hope this NONSENSE is the biggest backfire ever imposed on the Democratic party since the end of slavery in the United States of America.

As with what Trump said about the Fauxcahontas DNA test, this latest labeling of all who disagree as "racists"  and/or "white supremacists" (even Ben Carson!!) is nearly a year earlier than when it would be most beneficial for re-election campaign fodder. It's hard to imagine this can be kept alive deep into 2020, and it's also hard to believe the socialists/communists (yeah, I know... today AOC said the "communist" labeling is another mark of "white supremacists") will not have run out of outrageously stupid things to do by the last few months of the campaign. I hope they surprise me and create stuff that's so stupid I can't even imagine it. They're kinda already there, so more is definitely possible...

The MSM & Hillary started the Basket of Deplorables attacks after "Lock her up!" chants.  Didn't hurt Trump's election one bit.

Now they are "outraged" at "Send her back!" chants.

Leftists never learn.

The MSM THRIVES on controversy.  Trump knows this.  He's going to keep dumping gasoline on that dumpster fire that is the Democrat Party until reelection.

This week, Trump effectively halted asylum access for anyone in Central or South America, as well as others from places like Africa who fly to Brazile and then walk/ride to the US border.  Asylum seekers are required to apply for asylum in the first safe country they encounter -- not cross 3,4 or 10 others on the way to the US border where they cross illegally and only claim refugee status when caught.  One exception to the new rule is, if you applied for asylum in another country and was turned down, then you can apply in the US.  In essence, only Canadians and Mexicans can apply for asylum in the US if they arrive on the ground.  Flying hasn't been much of an issue since immigrants and visitors have to enter the country through ports of entry.  Even though visa overstays are a significant number of illegals in the US, at least we know who they are, where they came from, and can have an idea where they last resided.

So ..... that should have been the biggest story on Monday.  Instead, "Trump used naughty words again" was the top story at the top of every hour.

Way to control that news cycle, Mr. President!!   

I see Tulsi Gabbard was one of only 4 (four) members of the entire House of Representatives (433 current members, 2 vacancies) that chose to not vote on today's impeachment resolution. I wonder why she'd do that?

She and Yang are the only 2 running for the DNC nomination who aren't pandering to the insane Far Left, TDS whack jobs.  She understands impeachment is only making the House look bad.  The Senate won't convict without some smoking gun, and Mueller proved there is no gun to be found.  The whole witch hunt was an obstruction trap, and even that failed.

Continuing to call for impeachment over no specified crime is making the whole party look crazy.

I remember Gabbard supported Bernie over Hillary.  Even after she stole the nomination. Gabbard was slow to endorse her.  I think she gets how messed up her party is.  I have a feeling she'd could have been a Republican had she not been the daughter of a Democrat politician -- and not raised in the perpetually Deep Blue State of Hawaii.

Thats 1 reason why im not a fan of bernie. He cant even stand up for himself. What makes anyone think he will for our nation.

Bernie was never a serious candidate.  Hillary was the default nominee no matter what.  Bernie was bribed to run so Hillary wouldn't be unopposed for the nomination.  History shows being the only candidate running for the party nomination reduces fundraising and exposure.  Without a primary and debates, the candidate can coast -- not good for the campaign.

Were the DNC nomination not already predetermined, there would have been many more hats in the ring.  Hillary was sucking up all the donations from big donors.  No reason to try and compete when there's a finite amount of money and Hillary is the favorite.

Bernie served a purpose.  Had it not been for the email scandal, I don't think Bernie would have gotten as close to winning the primary as he did.  The DNC had to rig the primaries for Hillary, something they could not foresee a need for.

Given all of that, Bernie had no reason to stand up for himself.  He never believed he was actually there to win.  If he was seriously a contender, he would have used the email scandal to his advantage.  Instead, he tried to protect Hillary by saying "the people are tired of hearing about her emails."  What kind of opponent does that?

I asked why she didn't vote. If she opposed the resolution for impeachment because she thought it cast a bad light on the party (or any other reason), she could have voted against it, as did the majority of other Democrats: 137 Democrats voted against the resolution compared to just 95 who voted for it. What does she gain by refusing to go on the record?

She was actually raised the daughter of a Republican politician. Mike Gabbard was a long-time Republican who at some point (2007) realized that his chances of getting re-elected (not his publicly stated reason) were much greater if he re-registered as a Democrat. Tulsi was 26 years old when her father changed from Republican to Democrat. She, along with her father, opposed gay marriage, etc., until she "saw the light".

I was unaware of her father's history as a Republican.  Might explain her Conservative-leaning stances on some issues, and her lack of lock-step marching with the Dem party.

If you want her motivations on how she votes or doesn't vote on any measure, you'll have to ask her.  All we can do is speculate without a public statement saying why.

As a Presidential candidate, she's going to have to avoid the "Orange Man Bad" platform to have any credibility with moderate Liberals and rust-belt Republicans who are considered swing voters.  It's too easy to be against someone, but much harder to be for specific policies and ideas to help the country -- and not to simply grab power for your party.
