It would be like me posting a huge news scoop and listing my sources as FOX, OAN news and the MRC. You liberals always scream about that. And yet you continue to use the like of WaPo, HuffPo, Vox, Politico, CNN, MSNBC, Etc as your 'credible sources' and get all upset when we call you on it.....

You in particular are guilty of this practice. I'm not saying you can't do it, just be prepared for the backlash. I, for one, rarely read any of your posts anymore because they are just annoying. You do bring up an occasional good topic, but there it is again....NY Times...!

Look, I'm just trying to help out so we can have better conversations. Idea: maybe take a topic that means a lot to you and try and find support from both sides....then present it here and watch everyone spin their wheels trying to debunk your point. Wouldn't that feel better than constantly getting bashed and ridiculed...?

There is no disputing the fact that almost all of the msm destroyed it's credibility when it knowingly pushed a Russian collusion conspiracy theory for 3 years.

Anyone that uses CNN, NYT, and WaPo as their sources, will not be taken seriously.

I don't have a go-to newspaper. Don't read newspapers. But if I did, it would not be a hugely liberal rag. It is not relevant where the papers are ranked by another biased ranking site. They might even actually be a 'good newspaper' by whatever standards. But you completely missed my point that they are EXTREMELY BIASED and should not be used to prove a point or back up an assertion.

You libs just cannot get a simple point.....

And there is the problem. You my friend and the others that are left with decency and values are a vanishing breed. 40% of US citizens actually admire this scummy person.

So let me get this straight........if someone supports Trump and likes what he's done as President to this point, then they have no values or decency......?

And then when people whisper about a 'civil war', y'all get upset and frightened.........?

You might be the exception to the rule - I hope so.

Frightened and upset about a "civil war" led by the local backwoods militia? Why in the world would anyone in their right mind be frightened by that?

Trump is someone who clearly could not care less about what or who he must destroy in order to maintain his power; he has the morals of an ape as we knew from Day 1; he detests anyone that dares to disagree with him and will do anything to get back at them - just like an overgrown child.

From experience, who you choose to admire, who you choose to hang out with, who you choose to befriend or defend says a LOT about your character. And if you hang out with someone like Trump and you don't speak up against his immorality, then as a supporter you are effectively giving a thumbs up to that behavior. This is reality, you can't have it both ways.

I got it....
Your opinions are always right.
Everything you think is what we all must think.
Everyone who disagrees with you is not a good person.
I got it.

Trump Tried to Kill Anti-Bribery Rule He Deemed ‘Unfair,’ New Book Alleges
The president asked administration officials to help kill the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
By Jeanna Smialek

“I need you to get rid of that law,” Mr. Trump told Mr. Tillerson.

Mr. Tillerson explained to the president that he could not simply repeal the legislation, according to Mr. Rucker and Ms. Leonnig. He pointed out that Congress would need to be involved in any effort to strike it down.

why don't you name a POTUS/senator/representative, who has not used bribery/quid-pro-quo during their tenure...…
Obama was sure good at it

Then what sources do you take seriously? Fox News? Breitbart? InfoWars?
