The media isn't the problem, Trump is the problem, he still doesn't understand that words from the President matter. The media will scrutinize every word, every element of grammar and comprehension. The media isn't doing anything different to what they've done to Presidents in the past.
 
Trump is bringing all of this attention on himself and he has no one else to blame. He still won't pipe down the nasty rhetoric, he constantly lies and seemingly can only seem to act Presidential when someone else writes his speeches for him in front of a Teleprompter. 
 
If he wants to carry on Rallying and campaigning barely seven months in office then that is up to him but the only thing it does is appease his base, a fraction of the voters in this country.

Trumps minus three million margin of victory and 30 percent approval rating do seem like they could prove to be insurmountable obstacles going forward. 

I love it when Danielle visits her and Mohammed's common friend to try to convince him that Mohammed is a bad person.. She starts yelling stuff like "I know he cheated on me! He had sex with me ONCE! Where did he get sex from the rest of the time?!?!" and their friend looks soooooo guilty. He should've just come clean right then and there: "It was me. I slept with Mohammed". 

I disagree with some of you all.  I don't think Pedro's family was being disrespectful at all in serving the chicken feet.  It wasn't the only thing they served!  They had a full meal including chicken feet.  No one was forcing it on anyone.  My mother-in-law makes all sorts of meat dishes and I smile and say "thank you" and eat the rice and salad.  It is quite common to offer something "typical" from the region when people visit.  I always encourage people to try shrimp & grits when they visit us here in the Southern USA, but I don't eat shrimp!  I figure other people do and they should try something regional.
 
I think Chantel's family is the typical rude, uncultured Americans that give us a bad name.  Have these people been nowhere outside the 'burbs of Atlanta?!?  The fact they wouldn't even get out of the van to meet his family is unbelievably disrespectful.  It also boggles my mind how they keep bringing up Voodoo, it shows their complete ignorance.  If they knew anything about the country they would know at least 90% of the population is Catholic! That family is almost certainly Catholic.  My husband is from the ghettos of Costa Rica.  When my family visited there was NO PROBLEM.  They went into the tiny little house, ate a simple meal, and everyone was happy and grateful to have each other there.  Is that so freaking hard?

i didn't forget to read it, i'm not gullible enough to get frightened over it. people in the country i actually live in aren't getting the care they need, a form of capitalist rationing benefiting the pockets of insurance ceos and pharmaceutical executives. DEATH PANELS OMG.

As someone who actually served with many gay/trans people I don't really see an issue with it considering even the military that faces some of the biggest issues in the world deals with it.

While Trans weren't always accepted as gleefully(although that has changed too), you were always able to be openly gay and serve long before "don't ask don't tell" in the US.
 
 

LOL Obama left office with a 60% approval rating, Bush left with a 25% approval rating.
 
To say Obama is one of the worst is just so completely wrong. Your political bias is clearly showing. Trump has one of the worst approval ratings of any President during this time of his presidency. 
 
 

Did not know he said that but if you insist. Face it, it took 24 hours and Breitbart to come up with yet another "explanation" for something Donald Trump said. Must be exhausting having to so constantly think of ridiculous alternative meanings to the verbal garbage our brain dead so-called president spews.
 
I got 99 problems but having to make up explanations' for Donald Trumps verbal diarrhea ain't 1. #kovfefe

can't believe that mueller is looking into trump financials. and sessions hasn't resigned yet? did not read the statement prezzy trump wrote for trump jr? it's the adoptions, silly. comey just wasn't enough.
 

Strange how some investigations are slam dunk, prison time arrests, but others with even more information available are nothing burgers. Guess it is just a matter of who is being investigated.

you know just as well as anyone else on this immigration forum that individual's immigration timelines and situations vary greatly. i think that anyone here right now without papers should have the opportunity to apply for permanent residence status with an avenue towards citizenship, case by case basis. when people start talking about deporting people who have lived here since they were toddlers, like just drop them over the border or people who are in fear for their lives (specifically the case of the iraqi christians) i have zero respect for that sort of blanket callousness.  

i don't think that people that have been living and contributing to our country for years upon years and even have us citizen underaged children should be deported. i don't support punishing children for their parent's actions, citizen or not.

i don't personally care for pushing political class warfare myself, i'm not too keen on hating those with less than myself and i'm not scared of foreigners coming here and taking what's "mine". if that's the mdl's approach to class war (obama deported a lot of people, no matter how vocal the left is about trump deporting the masses) i want no part of it. 
also imo, sometimes taking care of your family first involves helping out other families and those with less than yourself. that's the main issue the liberal elites have, no? they talk a game of trash about workers and those locked in generational poverty but when it comes down to the nitty gritty, they're floating along in the same bog of eternal stench as the trump brand.

So when the Trump folks lie about contacts and then "oh yeah there was that time" after the news comes out what are we to think? Ignorance? Amnesia? Naivete? Arrogance?

not dim witted, falling for a con can happen to anyone. illegals are insignificant in the face of corporate empires, that's your true enemy. not the have-nots the have-it-alls want you to hate..

so blame illegals. makes sense. question, why do you blame those who have nothing instead of going after those who have it all? ever heard the saying can't get water from a stone? you'll get it once all the illegals are gone and you see what's really holding you back.

LOL did Obama ever call them the enemy of the state? Did Obama ever continually conduct off camera briefings? There are not more leftist media outlets out there, this is a fallacy, thing is you and the Republican party have gone so far right you can't see the center anymore. So you think the majority of the MSM is leftist from your perspective. Look at Joe Scarborough, a die hard Republican all his life has now left the party because he hates what it has become and now calls himself an independent. Others have already followed suit, George Will etc etc the list goes on.

I feel like you are backing your self further into a corner with the treason angle. remember the good ol days when we debated whether there was any hacking? Then there was no proof it was Russia.  Then it was well collusion is not necessarily a crime angle.  Then there was the part about no links to the Trumps and Russia.  And now we are are working on a bulwark of not enough evidence to convict in a court.  
 

are you insinuating that i have my head in the sand because i don't believe that race (or religion) is an indicator of potential criminality and propensity towards violence? that i'm daft because i'm not a bigot?  
word to the wise, prefacing a racist statement with 'sorry' doesn't negate the racist statement.

They've all been caught in a lie, the entire White House and campaign went on national television and told the American people that no one in the Trump campaign had met with Russians.
Trump LIED
Trump Jr LIED
Pence LIED
Priebus LIED
Conway LIED
Spicer LIED
Huckabee Sanders LIED
Kushner LIED
Sessions LIED
Cohen LIED
Manafort LIED
Flynn LIED
 
This White House has lost all credibility because from now on no-one will believe anything they say, the intelligence agencies aren't happy with them, the only ones who will stick with them are the trump die hard supporters but even they will start to lose faith once they see policy not being implemented. The Health Care Bill is a nightmare, its a terrible piece of legislation and turtle I think will end up going across the aisle.
 
 

So we now have the following individuals from the Trump Administration or campaign team who have been in touch with Russian officials:
Trump Jr
Carter Page
Paul Manafort
Jeff Sessions
Jared Kushner
Michael Flynn
Michael Cohen
Roger Stone
Not only did they meet them but some of them failed to disclose those meetings on government documents or in confirmation hearings.

Yes extreme weather will always happen but it's the frequency of the events that is alarming.

No, I didn't say that. I just find it hard to believe people who say that, the vast majority of the scientific community is wrong, and that we should just believe the ones they happen to agree with. Crazy idea, I know.

Same thing, refusing to acknowledge that Humanity is  exacerbating climate change is just as bad, if not worse than saying that climate change isn't happening. Sorry, the evidence at this point is just too great, to be pretending that climate change is just a giant conspiracy drempt up by the world's elites, and supported by pretty much the entire world's scientific community. You will always have crack pots who say that they know better, and that the scientific community has been bought off, which besides being wrong, it is also highly ironic, considering how the oil and gas industries have used considerable resources, to generate lots of highly questionable research, in an effort to discredit climate change. The same questionable research, climate change deniers seem more than happy to peddle  in order to support their ideology about climate change being a hoax. Everyone is crazy, but themselves, and all scientists who disagree with their seriously flawed ideology are all fake scientists.

A better analogy might be the Bible thumping flat earther's vs emerging science back in the day proving that the earth is round and additionally not the center of the universe roughly ten thousand years old and created in a week. Climate change deniers are really just today's flat earther's, but use bloviation instead of death sentences 'because they are right.'
