Reporter who exploded at Sarah Huckabee Sanders during White House briefing: ‘We can’t take the bullying anymore’
The media has now entered "Snowflake" territory. It's ok to lie, make up stuff and treat the President as trash, but if you expect them to be honest and factual, well, "Oh MY" it's time to get cranky and cry. They have a dumb a@@ attitude to blow off their own inaccuracies, and say, "you can turn us off, or change channels". BS. Huckabee handled them a lot better than Spicer does.
I'm age 70 beyond sick and tired of watching GOP presidents becoming supposedly noble unresponsive whipping boys for a lying left wing yet mainstream media.
Being above all the BS doesn't really work out well when people view silence as an admission.
As I've written here before, I knew Trump was a fallible bull in a china shop when I voted for him.
Wreck 'em, Trump! Wreck those lying crybaby cowards!
Kick 'em when they're up--kick 'em when they're down. Rub their own dirty laundry right back into their smug faces.
Trump's detractors spin his responses as adolescent and I almost got sucked into the spin and agreed with them. Now I disagree with that assessment because, in actuality, he is a fighter the public voted into the ring to stand up to those self righteous rats and that is exactly what he is doing. Sometimes to drain the swamp and rid the sewer rats you have to put on your high boots and wade into it. As you say: "Wreck 'em, Trump! Wreck those lying crybaby cowards!"

FDR's big no-no was his wheelchair. He went around in one all the time because he suffered from polio. But very few news photos of him show the wheelchair, because if you took one that did, you were out.
Anyone else get these creepy questions from your Android phone asking if the restaurant I'm sitting in offers "gender neutral restrooms" ? Hmm, I didn't look, and I don't give a rip, use the one that matches the equipment you came with. The chick looking like a guy thing is going to struggle with a urinal.
A large swath of the American media has been so totally irresponsible in their use of the First Amendment that it has corrupted itself to the point where it has become a danger to the Republic. I have watched this rot of corruption seep into the media for decades and I say it's about time we got leadership with enough backbone to stand up to it.
This media's use of the First Amendment as a means to protect itself from criticism is in itself a corruption as the Constitution is not a suicide pact. A responsible media is a protector of the Republic, an irresponsible and corrupt media is a destroyer.
Can you see the world's smallest violin in my hands?
Journalism has improved and gone from taking notes, to audio recording to word processing. Yet the reporter journalist quality has deteriorated as technology improved.
Part of me wants to tell the guy to turn off the TV and focus on his job, nothing out of a talking head will help his job performance. The other part would be to hire a tactful tweet advisor - keep hitting, but raise the standard and be somewhat enigmatic.
It does have a good effect though, the dummies in the MSM chase his morning tweet all day while he shreds Obama regulations and signs new legislation.
There's finally a semi-grownup with the needed courage in the White House and the babies can't handle it! I say, get out the popcorn. It's going to be a very entertaining 4 to 8 years!
Trump is a complete embarrassment and a huge anvil on the Republican Party. They need to get rid of him as well as dumping the religious nonsense that has infiltrated their party over the decades and work on a coherent platform with proper Objectivist principles in order to succeed. Remember though that Ayn Rand hated the Republicans even more that the Democrats so I don't hold out much hope they will ever come to their senses. A shame.
LOL, sure condemn a man for his "style" and words while completely ignoring his efforts. That's okay. Most people who voted for him overlooked his carnival barker-ness and saw a successful AMERICAN businessman (as opposed to an ANTI-AMERICAN fake quasi-academic) who had some really interesting things to say and also had some really good and interesting people back him from the beginning. The fact that he's rolled back most of "O's" illegal executive orders, and is cutting out regulations root and branch as much as he can by himself, is enough to send the stock market and the mood of most Americans soaring.
I think if you TRY to be OBJECTIVE (you know, stop listening to the CRAZY Democrat noise) about Trump, (and LOOK A LITTLE DEEPER than his sometimes off-putting WORDS and HOW he SAYS them) you might see someone who is VERY Apolitical and just wants to do what he sees as common sense. That is something we have not seen in a very LONG time. COMMON SENSE GOVERNANCE. Of course, it would take an outsider to bring it.
I hate to inform you but religious philosophy has been part of the foundation of this country and part of the Republican party since its inception. Yeah, it's a LOT of NONSENSE, isn't it? You don't like it, that's fine, no one ever said you had to be a "believer" in America's foundational religious philosophies. However, maybe what you ought to start worrying about is the one that is today most being apologized for while it compels others to think it's okay to "cut at the neck". I think that one is more worth worrying about instead of the "turn your cheek" religion! Not to mention the other religion's accompanying Sharia legal component! But, it's a bit more scary standing up to people who will kill you as opposed to people who will forgive you, isn't it?
Again, this man is a buffoon. The Republican Party could have done so much better if they had voted in Cruz, even though is a religious nutjob. Instead they electred the petulant man-child that is Trump.
Oh, and your last paragraph? I honestly have no idea what you are talking about.
Why am I NOT surprised?
Uh, before he handed the torch to his sons, Trump was listed as a trustee, president, chairman, or member for more than 530 entities. That's 530 BUSINESSES for people who just don't understand. How many times did he file for bankruptcy? That would be SIX times. You DO know that bankruptcy is a legal process when your financials whether personal or business become untenable, right? I think SIX out of 530 different business concerns is a PRETTY DARN GOOD record. And, if you think he's the only casino owner to lose money, well....You're kidding, right? http://money.cnn.com/2016/01/08/news/...

Even with Daddy's loans, massive inheritance and all the business connections from Daddy, he still has been, at best, a mediocre businessman.
I would put up the most recent list of his lies but it would cover the entire page.
America needs someone badly in government who understand the principles of what needs to be done, but Trump sure ain't it. His cronies he has chosen for various government officials sure are not the ones either. The closest Objectivist is Rand Paul but even he can't escape the religious baggage. Perhaps his father? To be honest, I don't know too much about Ron Paul. America has dug itself into a large hole and I fear with Trump running wild (I am still waiting for the report he promised from his agents in Hawaii concerning Obama's Birth Certificate), the Democrats will nominate someone younger and even more charismatic than Sanders who will shift the US even more leftward than it already is.
The article you used still only discussed 61 out of 530 business concerns, too. WHO, in this world, is PERFECT in any case? He's STILL a billionaire! Daddy gave him a million. Turning that into BILLIONS is a pretty good record when you consider MOST lottery winners FRITTER away their winnings! And, sometimes it's more than ONE million dollars.
Everything you argue really is moot anyway. So, maybe you ought to look at why you continue to be so negative? Pessimism is a BIG trait in people who like to call anything religious "baggage" rather than being open and tolerant about it. Maybe you should look into the reasons you continue to try project your negative feelings onto others, hmmm???
I am going to quote Rand to show my negativity and pessimism about religion.
"Qua religion, no - in the sense of blind belief, belief unsupported by, or contrary to, the facts of reality and the conclusions of reason. Faith, as such, is extremely detrimental to human life: it is the negation of reason."
"Faith is the worst curse of mankind, as the exact antithesis and enemy of thought....To rest one's case on faith means to concede that reason is on the side of one's enemies- that one has no rational arguments to offer."
Rand would be dismayed at the rise of the religious right in America and how they have corrupted her ideals.
I am pessimistic that Trump is the best America could come up with.
Heres one that is a neutral headline, but the body twists negative (for the most part):
https://www.yahoo.com/tv/donald-trump...
Heres a negative one:
http://www.msnbc.com/am-joy/watch/tru...
Concerns? From whom? And who are they to have "concerns"? Of course people have concerns, across the board, Trump is unusual, acidic, at times immature. Kennedy was a womanizer who had numerous flings in the white house. No one ever reported on that, it was moved to the "trash papers".
Here is another negative one, not in the subject, but in the wording:
https://www.popsugar.com/news/Donald-...
It isn't hard to find in a 5 minute look for 90% negative articles, either in their wording, subject or the spin.
Look, you're welcome to cite ANY news organization you wish (Which you didn't. I just KNEW where to look). Just be prepared for blow-back if you use sources KNOWN to be more left-(or right, for that matter)wing OPINION rather than hard news, okay?
Trump got an INITIAL loan of 1 million from Daddy. There may have been more, that's true. Given the high finance they were dealing with, it's not shocking if Daddy might have been involved later on. PLUS DADDY DIED. And, he LEFT his children his ESTATE!!! Gee whiz!!! How unusual!!!!! LYNCH HIM!!!! TRUMP's NO business man!!!!! He DESERVES IMPEACHMENT FOR THAT!!!!! Right???? Well?? Right?? LOL!
REALITY CHECK - Dad's estate was estimated at 250 to 300 million. Taxes, I'm sure, took a BIG chunk. AND, he had 4 other siblings but one brother died. So, HOW IN THE WORLD does that translate to being GIVEN his WEALTH when it is estimated at being almost 4 BILLION????? STUPID DUMB luck, huh? Yeah, right.
And, by the way, we ALL like Ayn Rand and her writings here, ya know? HOWEVER, that does NOT mean she was perfect and had ALL PERFECT ideas that there couldn't be some other very valid opinions. There are many opinions on that score at this site alone. Nor does it mean that YOU or I cannot be TOLERANT of OTHER ideas. Especially ones that do NO HARM.....you know, from the part you didn't understand above...."turn the other cheek" rather than "cut at the neck"?
Trump may NOT be the best America could do. But, he was the best of the people who RAN and WHO WON!!!! Get over it, get a life, and smile! It's REALLY going to be much better than the last EIGHT years.
I'm quite enjoying his pugnaciousness. It's very entertaining. Not to mention something quite needed from the cowardly and complicit "RIGHT" for a very long time.

They did not need to call him a "news stooge", yet they do that but if you had posted something about holder being another "Obama Boy" they would have had a frigging meltdown. It is this BS double standard that Sarah was hammering the idiots on.
If the left didn't have double standards, it wouldn't have any standards at all.
Pelle is the other one.
Castile was no stranger to a set of handcuffs (last one in St Anthony, MN), 86 traffic stops since 2001, 43 arrests, 23 convictions, tox screen was off the charts the day he died.
Pay no attention and don't report the details, it's just random innocent snowflakes that were minding their own business...
They have an image they are trying to portray, the facts are usually different though. The assassin in Dallas that ambushed all the police was over Castile.. The tragedy there was the dumb sheriff that approved his permit to carry with an average contact with law enforcement every 8 weeks or so.
