*Trending* Pathological liar Trump caught lying about his SOTU address viewership, he claimed it was the most viewed ever. LIE
The TV-viewing figures for President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address are in, and he’s not winning.

Trump averaged around 45.6 million viewers during his 80-minute speech to Congress and a TV audience on Tuesday night, according to media research company Nielsen, which collated data from 12 broadcast and cable networks.

That’s a 2.1 million dip from the 47.7 million people who watched Trump’s inaugural address to a joint session of Congress in 2017, and was lower than the number of people who watched former President Barack Obama’s speeches on similar occasions.

Obama scored 52.3 million for his inaugural address to a joint session of Congress in 2009, and just over 48 million for his first State of the Union speech in 2010.

Viewing figures for the State of the Union speech usually decline during a president’s time in office. Obama’s final speech in 2016 was only seen by 31.3 million people.

Trump has not fared well in comparison to Obama in other areas in recent months.

At the end of the 2017, three of Obama’s tweets made Twitter’s “most retweeted” list, and two appeared in the “most liked” category. Trump failed to feature on either list.

Obama also edged out Trump as America’s “Most Admired Man,” according to a Gallup poll in December.

LOL, how many times have you done complete 180's on Cuomo? Yet you keep saying you've always been right.

You um... just might have a slight... ego issue. A superiority complex? Just throwing that out there as a possibility. Hopefully it's not something worse, right?

Thank you for that releasing us of blame part.

But after he gets hired, how long will it take for him to get fired or get forced out? C'mon - gotta think 2 steps/firings ahead.

i like cuomo because he is good at his job. and underneath it all he really wants truth and justice. The pressure he faces at CNN to keep going with their shxtshow of "news" is enormous and their is no place for him at FOX...I dont think. So he has a fine line to ride.

One thing I'm certain. He will absolutely be the first journalist/pundit to flip at CNN. he is already greasing the skids. And by flip i do mean come full circle that this entire investigation is bogus. the entire narrative is bogus. and the constant attempt to find the "next thing" wrong with Trump.

When this thing is all said and done, many people in many parts of the media and government should lose their jobs. Some should resign. some fired. and frankly, some in jail.

Will Hope Hicks lie in testimony with Mueller!
It is quite obvious that Mueller has a obstruction of justice charge waiting for her and is she stupid enough to try and protect Don Jr, and Sr. Also pure speculation is the Woman with the blue dress on.

Aboard Air Force One on a flight home from Europe last July, President Trump and his advisers raced to cobble together a news release about a mysterious meeting at Trump Tower the previous summer between Russians and top Trump campaign officials. Rather than acknowledge the meeting’s intended purpose — to obtain political dirt about Hillary Clinton from the Russian government — the statement instead described the meeting as being about an obscure Russian adoption policy.


In the plane’s front cabin, Mr. Trump huddled with Ms. Hicks. During the meeting, according to people familiar with the episode, Ms. Hicks was sending frequent text messages to Donald Trump Jr., who was in New York.

[Former spokesman of Trump’s legal team Mark Corallo] is planning to tell Mr. Mueller about a previously undisclosed conference call with Mr. Trump and Hope Hicks, the White House communications director, according to the three people. Mr. Corallo planned to tell investigators that Ms. Hicks said during the call that emails written by Donald Trump Jr. before the Trump Tower meeting — in which the younger Mr. Trump said he was eager to receive political dirt about Mrs. Clinton from the Russians — “will never get out.” That left Mr. Corallo with concerns that Ms. Hicks could be contemplating obstructing justice, the people said.

The Trumpsters black figurehead of the Administration Ben Carson head of HUD is as corrupt as his boss.
“I expressed my concern that this gave the appearance that the Secretary may be using his position for his son’s private gain,” Linda Cruciani, HUD’s deputy general counsel for operations, wrote in a July 6 memo, describing her reaction upon learning of Carson Jr.’s involvement from other staff members.

Everyone but Trump and everyone who has not been loyal to him, right?


anyone that played a role in deceiving the FISA court should go to jail. from staffers to the "suits" that signed off on and presented that garbage to the actual court. jail for them. Minimum 5 years. While in jail, let's see if they point any fingers at a larger ring of conspiracy.

as for the all the pundits and talking heads AND political opposition operatives that have actively attempted to impeach this president? They will clearly hide behind the "misinformation" of the "few bad apples" in the DOJ/FBI(which is why it is so important for those bad apples to "sing." So they should be shamed into resigning.

This has been the most blatant, most active, most aggressive disinformation campaign ever leashed on the american public.

CNN still talk about collusion. albeit only about 30 minutes per day. it was only 3 weeks ago that CNN was convinced Trump colluded and they talked about it 21-23 hours per day. eery day. for 12 straight months. That might not be illegal. but its something. And of course they have replaced their 21-23 hours of coverage on collusion with obstruction. "Obstructing" the bogus investigation of collusion. Now if you just dont like donald trump this is all fun and game. you think its funny to watch an american citizen squirm. The president of the united states no less.

And for the record, the trumps have now spent an additional $24 million on combined legal consel just for legal fees strictly from this investigation into collusion that has evolved into obstruction. Again, funny if you dont like Trump.

But i happen to think something bigger is at stake here that Trump's personal savings account. Bigger than the GOP and DNC. Bigger than tax reform and DACA and whatever else legislation may slightly swing in favor of the GOP. Yeah. call me corny but Democracy itself is on the line here. I happen to believe in the a thing called the will of the american people. I happen to believe in transparency of our government. I happen to believe that the FBI/DOJ/CIA congress and the president, ALL OF THEM! they all work for the american people. and every few years we vote to determine who those people will be based on campaign pledges they make to us. I happen to believe all of that is very important.

So when the entire main stream media decides they dont want a guy in office and do everything they can to remove him. I happen to think that is a very bad thing. When politicians are complicit with that media, it scares me. and when politicians weaponize our DOJ/FBI to feed that liberally biased media bad information??? I just dont know where to begin to explain how bad that is for the country. For the american people. For democracy.

But i tried. I try here in these pages and on twitter. Democracy is frail. very very frail.

way more frail than most people in the world realize. Because money buys media. And media influences people. People are dumb. Marketing works.

Donald trump did something different that most politicians dont have the money to do. Instead of paying off media(buying large chucks of advertising time) to convince people "his way" was worth voting for. Instead of that. The way it was always done. he instead paid for research to figure out what american really wanted. He paid for all kinds of research. and he came to realize what americans wanted. He then campaigned on these issues. tirelessly. 18 hour days. for 18 straight months. It worked. He won. Fair and square. He won.

Since that victory he has learned how to govern. its a tough job if you actually try to implement change vs. (sit on your hands and straddle the line of PC culture in speech after speech... Never doing anything, just saying all the right things to appease people). Instead, trump is making changes. creating waves with those changes and those changes are working. Many presidents wanted to do tax reform. trump got it done. Many wanted to do immigration reform. looks like trump will get it done. From here it will be infrastructure then entitlement reform combined with a massive urban redelopment plan that Carson has been working on to bring jobs back to the cities.

In short. Democracy worked this time. the american people got it right. despite all of the stuff i mentioned above. and we have a guy that is not content just sitting on his hands at home and shaking hands abroad. This guy wants to do the work.
like i said, its a full rebuild.

Generally getting a Bill named after you is a great honor but that isn't the case with the Jarad Kushner Act.
Regressive policies that hurt and even incarcerate the poor have historically been the norm. This bill prohibits policies that were developed to hurt poor communities and jail poor residents.


This past October, the Sun revealed that Kushner’s landlord business was under investigation by the state attorney general for illegally charging their tenants illegal fees and evicting them when they don’t pay.
