Just to look at one part of this, there are individuals hosts here and there at the big networks, who still have credibility in my view. Chris Wallace and Shep Smith at Fox You learn to spot very quickly when people are going too far, Morning Joe for example go way too far down the never Trumper line. All opinion players on Fox prime time are peddling state propaganda, plain and simple. Don Lemon and Maddow often do the same in the other direction. Was not aware of Tim Pool, based on his twitter he is a big Bernie fan. Feel the Bern. Chris Cuomo asks the most stupid questions and his 'ding dongs' with Kellyanne Conway are cringe at times. I think Jake Tapper is pretty unbiased and the best of CNN. Bernie said yesterday on MSNBC (I think) that he will half prescription charges across the US. The host did not ask how this would be paid for! That's negligent journalism. Tucker Carlson is good on Fox, and having listened to him outside of the network, he is a smart guy. His recent book 'Ship of Fools' is on my list. Sean Hannity is always worth watching but is too close to Trump to criticise him. Edited by Penge Eagle (03 Apr 2019 10.11pm)

He doesnt know where his own father was born. This will take me a long time to get over. The oranges of Trump's father are in the BX, but he keeps saying he was born in Germany. Who does that? Is he senile? Trump's been a bulls***ter all his life. You are outraged now about this? He also calls China 'jina' and says 'yuge' instead of 'huge'. It's quite funny! Forget for one moment that so many Americans invent some kind of heritage that doesn't exist to make them sound authentic... He's 72 years old so you have to give an old man a little bit of leeway.

Why can't we have a 'Fox' for British TV? It's wall to wall left wing or neo liberal viewpoints. The media have airbrushed huge demographics out of broadcast media using their elitist hold of the megaphone. They are not a reflection of the society they are meant to serve. They are a reflection of the left/neo liberal middle class. They deserve a voice.....but not to be the only voice. At least you have the Daily Mail, and various right wing imbeciles on LBC and such.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

Why do you smear people's character because you don't agree with their politics? It's pretty nasty stuff how you describe these people. Well I lived in LA for two years up till last summer so I watched all the cable networks, where there is virtually zero unbiased reporting on US TV. At least Fox does criticise Trump on occasions and are open to the fact they are right wing. CNN on the other hand have the audacity to tell us they are impartial! They smear their own characters peddling their racist anti immigration xenophobic violence promoting propaganda. Ingraham is truly a vile character raised by a Nazi sympathizing gay hating racist, according to her own brother. Tucker Carlson thinks its ok to rape children, is offensively sexist and xenophobic to the point of outrage. Hannitty is another conspiracy theory nutjob, promoting the birther hoax, Seth Rich BS and thinking its perfectly ok as a supposedly independant journalist to speak at a MAGA rally. Dont remember any CNN folks campaigning for Hillary while on air.

Edited by Penge Eagle (03 Apr 2019 10.20pm) My father in law says Yuge, and Yumid. That is normal here as you should know if you lived here. Oranges, Amonimous, this is not normal. Lying openly, repeatedly and pathologically, this is not normal. Its fine being a bulls***ter if you are a reality TV douche, peddling a fake image on low brow TV shows and running miss world. Being president takes a bit more than that. Edited by Maine Eagle (03 Apr 2019 11.12pm)

But if it's normal to pronounce those words that way, then why do other Americans take the piss out of him then? You really do have Trump Derangement syndrome!

Edited by Penge Eagle (03 Apr 2019 11.30pm) Yes I know where LA is, Penge Eagle Yuge and Yumid are not an East Coast thing. My father in law is from Seattle. Who takes the piss out of anyone for pronouncing Huge as Yuge??? People take the piss out of a senile old fool who cannot pronounce origins or anonymous and doesnt know where his own father was born. We need to look into the oranges, Penge!!!

I don't like the Mail.....but yeah, we have LBC...which isn't only right wing anyway.....it's not good enough is it......It's not a reflection of where the country is politically by a huge margin. It's a frigging conservative government for crying out loud....and even before that the left only managed a hung parliament. Yet not one right wing broadcaster.

Trump was given 1 million dollars by his well connected father. Not exactly self made, although that is one of his thousands of lies. He has also filed for bankruptcy 4 times. Have a read about Trump's unique ability to fail in business: Trump airlines And last but not least Trump university Berlusconi is also a billionare, and also as thick as pig s***. Eike Batista is another dumbass billionaire, thought he was so stupid he now owes a billion. Being a billionaire does not mean you are smart or savvy, a good leader, a decent person, or able to be a positive force in this world. God only knows you dont need to be intelligent (in fact it probably hurts you) to appeal to Maga hat waving slack jawed slobbering rednecks. Edited by Maine Eagle (05 Apr 2019 2.06am)

Edited by Maine Eagle (05 Apr 2019 2.06am) Wow, you have a lot of bitterness inside you mate. For Trump to go from a millionaire to a billionaire is a very good achievement if you ask me. As you have rightly pointed out, large wealth can all be lost very easily. All of the top businessmen have failed businesses – that is what makes them successful because they try new things and never give up despite failure. Steve Jobs was fired from Apple Computers and there were many failed Apple products among the good ones. Henry Ford had two failed automotive companies before Ford Motors etc etc. Trump lost it all by overstretching his finances and made bad decisions but he managed to fight back by rebranding himself. And why do you care if someone is rich and stupid? Seems like you have the typical leftist trait of envy. The other nasty trait being that your side is intelligent and the other side on the right are all thickos. I don't know anything about Eike Batista but of course, you pick out a another right-winger in Berlusconi who is "rich and dumb". Nobody from your side of politics is like that, are they! I'm more interested in this type of wealth building... The Clintons' net worth in 1992 was 700,000 dollars. Fast forward to 2017 and it's 240 million dollars. The Obamas’ net worth in 2007 was 1.3 million dollars. Now it's estimated 24 million dollars. The Trumps' net worth has dropped from 3.7 billion dollars in 2016 to 3.1 billion dollars today.

No I mean just that, have you seen a MAGA rally? There isnt quite the quite and stoic dignity of the struggling working class at a MAGA rally. To appeal to the baying mob at a MAGA rally, you kind of have to be putting out a bunch of low brow guff tinged with xenophobia, fear of socialism, and a strong "us against the world" rhetoric.

Edited by Penge Eagle (05 Apr 2019 1.10pm) I wouldnt agree that I have a lot of bitterness inside me, and that I "envy" Donald Trump. I just believe Trump is a train wreck as a president and is doing terrible harm to the fabric of American society. I live here permanently, have lived all over the States, and have been here for over 15 years, so perhaps I am a bit closer to the issue than you, PengeEagle, with your short lived stay in the bubble in LA. If that makes you an expert on all matters American, then I guess you qualify? No need to start throwing insults around, as you often seem to do, more than happy to discuss the matters at hand in a calm way. Waking up as Trump one morning would actually be my worst nightmare. Like most bullies I think deep down he is unsure of himself, desperately cares what people think about him and is pretty unhappy in his life. I think the question here was on Trump's mental aptitude. I think we need to look into the oranges there.
