I'm not trying to pick sides here, but wasnt this the case with Obama too except all the hate was from a different side of the media.
blondy · 22-25, F
@PlumBerries they really don't most of the time. They are just looking at issues from a different perspective and those that are it from the other perspective look at it as lying. Of course there are times they lie but look at Trump's record of lying. They have a counter of how many times he lied or grossly exaggerated claims. The lying is on both sides. If people keep blaming one side nothing will ever get fixed. Its sad whats going on in my country. I just turned 18 and everybody thinks each other is stupid, intolerant, and lazy. And Trump brought upon alot of those feelings. Both ways.

@blondy I’d say the same was true back then as well.
TexChik · F
@blondy the issues with Obama was (if you like your doctor you can keep him) mandatory socialism...which failed. and a few issues with the constitution, weaponizing the IRS, FBI, CIA, against conservatives...and doubling the dept in 8 years

That's the media...the fake news. Usually what they print or report is the opposite of what is occurring, or it never really happened at all.

The left believe no election is official unless they like the candidate. The Washington libs even tried to rig the election against Trump. When Hillary lost, they have come out accusing Trump to try and cover up their treasonous acts. Didn't work. Its an amazing time...seeing all the rampant corruption from the left and their total departure from representing America and Americans, and going all in on supporting illegal aliens, open borders, socialism, and higher taxes. The terrorist cell in New Mexico that was discovered and the terrorists arrested is a prime example. They were training children to commit school shootings in the US. They were caught..and a liberal judge granted them Bail! Illegal alien terrorists! No concern for America or Americans. Trump is putting an end to that...and they don't like it. That's why they go crazy trying to push any lie or rumor they can find...claiming its collusion, treason, Russia....its insanity. Imagine what happens if there were open borders here. New York's Governor just said America isn't great but wants millions of illegals to pour in here, put an unsustainable burden on our social services that are meant for Americans, Rampant crime and violence would ensue...and likely the dissolution of the US. Border States, except California and New Mexico, wont open their borders
No matter who gets elected, I still have to get up, go to work and take care of my responsibilities. At least with Trump in office, I can take home more money in my check.

And you can feel better that your family is safer. No roving MS 13 gangs or muslim rape gangs (like in the EU) are being catered to here...they are being arrested or being prevented from getting into this country

Yes I am! I left one site because of all the political hate. All I know is that we have been busier the last year or so than ever and that sure must have something to do with him. I have no problem with him and I used to post this picture on some people's constant rants.

PlumBerries · 31-35, F
yeah its pretty sad
TexChik · F
@PlumBerries The left has paid antagonists on all social media sites, attacking any conservative view point and spreading lib propaganda. Some of the sites them selves actively restrict conservative view points. The cant win in the theater of ideas, so they cheat and lie instead.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
twitter is a great example of that

I guess most people are unusually interested in a narcissistic lunatic with nuclear weapons. Go figure.

@PlumBerries The fact you are in another country and complain this much continues to be mind-boggling to me as well.

Luckily I am not you.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
yes lucky indeed you are not me

@NoFuxGiven youre a hateful lib...none of that is required to have an unfortunate convo with you. Need some water?

And if you point out the liberal nonsense you are instantly labeled a 'trumpette or some such nonsense. From a country that is not the US I can see that Trump by in large is doing a good job. Unfortunately he is up against the media and the media is nothing if not biased against anything remotely conservative or constitutional. We had the same thing here in Canada where we had a very good PM who balanced the books and brought the country together as a whole. The media didn't like him and together with the US democraps, the bureaucrats and the elite elected a complete twit that has reversed all of those advantages and now the country is on the verge of breakup. The media still says more positive things than negative about the PM. Unfortunately I am becoming more and more aware that Trump is right when he says the media is the enemy of the people.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@hippyjoe1955 the media is the biggest problem and if you say something positive about trump liberals instantly declare you a Nazi
dekadory · 61-69, M
You have said a lot here!! Me, from the conservitive side, I just wish the media would "back off" and not critize everything he does. The media should report stories when he does screw up but not everything he is doing is bad. In fact, there are a lot of great things happening here in the USA since Trump became President
dekadory · 61-69, M
Come on you really don't belive what you just wrote?
Under Obama direction, the economy was depressed and he and his team accepted that notion. Trump rejected that and yes, he and his team have turned it around with real tax cuts to people and business. Please, continue to read your liberal talking points but also give the conservitive point of view some consideration and I think you will surprise yourself.@SW-User

I think since he has called out the media for trying to paint things according to their opinions it has gotten worse. Now the media tries to put a picture of him on the screen whenever something bad happens. If I drop my phone it isn’t somehow Trumps fault. He’s really vocal about these issues too so it’s all a lot of noise. I do however find it refreshing that a government leader is brutally honest about their intentions rather than being sneaky like many others in the past.
OggggO · 36-40, M
Tell you what, I’ll stop “obsessing” over Trump when he reunites all the families he’s separated at the border and lets them out of detention, gives real aid to the people still dying in Puerto Rico from the damage from the hurricane that has never been repaired, lifts his tariffs that are costing thousands of Americans their jobs, undoes his pointless ban on trans people in the military, stops filling his Cabinet with people who plan to destroy their own department, and ends his relentless self dealing.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@OggggO So did you feel the same way when Bush and Obama were doing the same thing? Oh right you are simply a misinformed liberal who thinks everyone who shows up at your border is honest and upright and that those kids actually belong to those 'parents'. What a maroon.
OggggO · 36-40, M
@hippyjoe1955 Neither Bush nor Obama were doing the same thing, if you mean the border. If you are speaking more generally: I was pissed when Bush ignored Katrina, extremely pissed about Guantanamo Bay in general, upset Obama didn't expend more effort on getting single payer approved, very glad about the repeal of DADT, etc.

As far as the families, data shows that they are almost entirely real families.

I was pretty sick of it before he was even elected. I guess he makes a good distraction from actual things taking place.
Northwest · M
@PlumBerries
as soon as he started running for it people were acting like he was the worst person in the world and blamed him for everything at that point.. it was pretty pathetic really

How can you blame someone for everything, when he was only running?

You claim that there's nothing on the media, but Trump, but you have not noticed that HE is the one doing all the blaming?

Now, that's what I would call sad.

All you have to do, is switch the channel, to some conservative news media. Oh, wait, yes you're right, on that channel, the would be praising Trump 24/7.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
how can you blame someone for everything when he was only running? Ask all the liberals who were protesting and celebrities complaining and saying they were moving out of the country and so on..

I never said there was nothing but trump on the media. Stop trying to twist my words .. You bag out conservative news for praising trump 24/7 , well what about all the liberal media news, talk shows, oscars, and all other things that constantly demonise trump? I guess that's all good though
Northwest · M
@PlumBerries So, then they were opposing him as a potential president, not blaming. BTW, this is what the election process is about.

what about all the liberal media news, talk shows, oscars, and all other things that constantly demonise trump? I guess that's all good though

Notice that I did not say anything good or bad about it. The comments were only related to the issue you raised here, which is your displeasure with
its so tiring to constantly read all the hate about this guy

Just alerting you to the fact, that his brand of media covers nothing but Trump. I guess that's all good though, right?
Bustoff77 · M
Gets kinda old ! Lots of backseat drivers nowadays ! Do I agree with everything probably not but if he’s putting the USA first in a lot of things he does it’s alot more then past presidents have done . My one comment! Now I’ll leave this political stuff for the obsessive people!!
5thApprentice · 31-35, M
Its almost as if its still 2016. lmao.

I hear and see a lot about trump too and im half way across the world. lol
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@5thApprentice yep and same im not in America yet never stop hearing about him
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
I'm Australian and it seems not a days gone by where there hasn't been 4 or 5 news updates about what Trumps been up to.
Makes me wonder what kind of shady shit our own Politicians are getting up to now that Trumps distracting the media.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@Thevy29 exactly, we hear more about him then the people running our country.. its bad
if they didn't have that to talk about, they would have to think.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
haha damn

I do get tired of it but at the same time I want to be informed

@SW-User informed isn't obsession though :)

A minority of Americans got to elect a fascist so it's a big deal.

Maybe if Trump and his team would stop doing/saying dumb shit then people will stop attacking him.

Could be they are narcissists too. Ya know birds of a feather. lolol!
MethDozer · M
I don't get it. I didn't get it when it was Obama, or Bush, Or Clinton. I don't get why anyone loves or hates any of these people so much they live and revolve their lives around politics. Sounds like a sad way to live to be obsessed with politics. Left or right.
SW-User
@MethDozer I highly agree with that!
MethDozer · M
@SW-User I get having a position and promoting it. I don't get missing out on life like we live forever and that things are really all that different .


Personally I've come to believe the politicians take our real freedom in life by having many of us obsess over politics instead of just living and taking care of our own business and going our way. Politics are the people's real ball and chain.
