CNN - watched by more dictators and despots around the world than any other news channel.  If that isn't an endorsement for your objectivity and impartiality, I don't know what is. What Zucker didn't mention was that the reason they are watching it is because it is better comic relief than then can find in their own countries. | |||

If not for Obozo, there would be no Trump. Pendulums swing. Ever has it been. Marius gave us Sulla. "Nec amicus officium nec hostis iniuriam mihi intulit, cui in toto non reddidi." "No friend ever served me, and no enemy ever wronged me, whom I have not repaid in full." Lucius Cornelius Sulla Tell me that doesn't sound like Trump. God Bless and Protect President Donald John Trump. VOTE EARLY TO BEAT THE CHEAT!!! | |||

Thanks for finding that. It is part of a lengthy history of Rome, not as lengthy as Gibbon, thankfully, maybe easier to read. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I, too, believe we are being very optimistic on what Trump can accomplish, in the ways of laws. But seriously, does it really matter? No matter what has been against him, he has prevailed. Even if he is forced to compromise, we are going to be so much better off than if we had Hitlery there. Lightyears ahead of where we would be. So I don't care if he can't push through his entire agenda: even a fraction of it is enough. Not to mention firing up the right and making people stand up and wake up. Hell, just the election seems to have helped! I feel good about this. Let the businesses thrive. Let the country thrive. We have been given a gift and we are going to make the most of it.

You have expressed what I have not been able to. When I look at Trump's gathering opposition I begin to feel despair. But I and countless others have clearly underestimated him before. He has been down before but always seems to come back and succeed. I have great hope. I think the thing that makes him unpredictable is his greatest asset and the country's greatest benefit. He is not a politician. I think, as you have said, that his policies will let businesses thrive and the country to follow. I would also add that I think he will free the people. Free us. That is all I ask. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

That's a good observation. As they lose viewers they are lashing out because the power is slipping from their fingers. They have found out that they can no longer control the narrative.

Someone said in this thread (can't remember who) that if Trump does 20% of the the things he said he wanted to do, he would be the greatest president ever. I agree 100% Rod "Do not approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction." John Deacon, Author I asked myself if I was crazy, and we all said no. | |||

Why should the media be exempt from scrutiny? We observe the custom here of giving links when we rely on a source of information to substantiate our position. The curious, or doubters, can go check it out. Freedom requires responsibility, and when it is aparent the freedom is being abused, corrections must be made. Trust but verify!

Yep. People have become skeptical of the media, and that's good and healthy. I have lived by and used that phrase "Trust but verify!" ever since I heard Reagan say it about the deal with Russia.

I would much rather have gnawing pain in my stomach from being unsure about effective and presidential Trump will be instead of having Shrillary there knowing exactly how she would have acted. | |||

To add on to the comment by Flashlightboy, I would much rather be uncertain about how good things can get than being uncertain about how bad things can get. ► 6.4/93.6 | |||

As my wife said last night, we voted for Trump because we KNEW what we were going to get with Hillary. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

By this time tomorrow I expect we’ll be hearing a lot of caterwauling from the liberal loonies and their media buddies, once President Trump starts keeping some of those campaign promises. It’s going to be glorious! | |||

Pope Francis changing tune a bit: “Yes, every country has the right to control its borders, who comes and who goes,” Francis said Friday, “and those countries at risk —from terrorism or such things— have even more right to control them more.” http://www.breitbart.com/natio...ght-control-borders/ | |||

First mis-step of Trump Presidency, arguing with press about crowd size. Could have easily been explained with people being concern over threats of violence, weather, security procedures, etc. Generally very pleased with Inaguration speech. He might have been a bit too heavy on trade policy. So far I am very pleased. “We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this. We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics,” Pres.
