Actually no. I'm a 3rd world product and what I walked by on 5th Ave today from an appointment reeked of uneducated/paid protests by a political party recruiting poor people/college kids.

Complete hypocrites. Democrats/MSM demand Trump accept the election results, then you do a 180 when he wins. It's beyond ridiculous.

These protestors are essentially Trump's "ground game" for 2020. The more they maintain this ridiculous temper tantrum, the more normal people will turn their backs on the Democrat party and move towards Trump.

Hasn't anybody learned anything from Trump's campaign? This kind of crap only makes him stronger.

Keep protesting, idiots!

Trump is like a Saiyan warrior...the more you attack him, the more powerful he becomes. By the 2020 election, there is a good chance he reaches SSJ2 form, and obliterates all Libs with a Father-Son Kamehameha attack. RIP SCUMBAGS!

This one's making the rounds of right wing sites, but 1) Bustle is not exactly what anyone would call a news journal, as it focuses mostly on entertainment and gossip, 2) I can't find the second quote anywhere except in reposted tweets on right wing sites, and nothing else that connects it with USA Today, and 3) the autism comment looks like it originated in 2014 on an autism discussion board found here. Again the only place I can find that connects the comment to Us Weekly is right wing sites. You know if anyone did any fact checking anywhere along the way?

I don't know, according to Reddit, US Weekly took their article down.

Regardless of the specific articles, it's like damn, leave the 10 year old alone

Haha, Trump has already broken one of his biggest campaign promises, and hasn't even taken office yet, he is not repealing Obama Care. Also, his campaign web site is being cleaned-up, replaced with standard Republican boiler plate. By the time he actually takes office, he'll be just like any other politician.

By the time he's done, the wall will be a picket fence.

I guess what I'm saying is I don't believe it. One of the relentless themes on this board has been the dishonestly of the media. Don't undermine that message by printing unverified stories that happen to further a message you like, or you're just contributing to the problem. Conservative sites feed their followers with misinformation and disinformation in the same way MSM does. If it gets slapped up here, then this site is just contributing to the problem.

To everyone posting links, stories, etc., do the board a favor and do a little research rather than posting the first Google link that seems to support your narrative. Try (at least a little) to be the journalist you wish to see in the world.

PS: When Obama was elected, some non-MSM and conservative websites offered pretty harsh, cruel, and racial comments about the Obama daughters. The young kids, and really any family member that is not part of the brain trust, should be off limits, but they're not these days, and that's not confined to liberal media.

Way to Drain the Swamp!

Read on Twitter

Pence was one of few GOP governors who expanded Medicaid and Trump is on record advocating universal health care.

There is a real cleavage between the *stated* ideology of Trump-Pence and Paul Ryan.

I'm gonna laugh at "the deplorables" if Trump turns out to be basically a Barack Obama liberal.

:lol:

Trump has said that he's cool with the provisions of Obamacare that cover people with pre-existing conditions and allow young people to stay on their parent's healthcare plan until the age of 26. He'd be a fool not to consider embracing these things...since many of the people/families who voted for him benefit from these provisions.

With the barrage of political memes, this should make us all laugh (I hope):

Ban on memes...wow. How would they decide what constitutes a meme and what is just a photoshop?

PS. the memes on this page are hilarious:

Those tens of thousands of Americans protesting on 5th Ave today can't simply be written off as "uneducated/paid" protesters or "poor people/college kids." And there's nothing "ridiculous" about peaceful protest. It represents America as its best...take it from a product of the "1st world" struggle for civil rights.
