So you post something to push your narrative, it turns out doesn't so you try change it up to continue to suit your narrative. Bravo

Yeah you are all right it was just a simple mistake. It had NOTHING to do with partisan politics and attacking Trump through surrogates. Nope just a simple misprint. :rolleyes: You people are so full of shit I wonder how your toilets can handle it.

Your paranoia and distrust of journalism is sad. No one is claiming it was a "misprint" and if that's your understanding of what sort of mistake was made it only further proves you haven't read your own article or the original very carefully.

They broke down their methods and sources and how they came to their conclusion, and how new information came to light that changed that.

Keep pushing that grand "MSM" conspiracy theory though.

How is it a conspiracy? They clearly have an agenda and have taken sides. Not really a conspiracy when it is true. I don't trust MSM period. If you do fine.

Imagine if Trump inherited the same financial situation that Obama did and had a similar first year as president? The hole would be so deep he would’ve hit China by now. Yet he goes on and on about how he is the reason for economic success, how his administration made so many new jobs during the first year (even though it was less than the year before) etc, and the same idiots eat it up.

The incompetence is beyond belief. A perfect example how the American educational system has failed for decades. Rich parents help their not so smart kid to the best schools and buy his way to the top. I don’t see how a system like that could possibly fail. /s

Just to add to my previous post. A Finnish writer/journalist has a column in the biggest newspaper in Finland. He wrote a nice column about the Russian election, which really isn’t an election at all.

He finished it by talking about Russia and U.S. relationships, and how Trump has made fun of/or complained about Mexicans, FBI, EU, Germany, Sweden, Clinton, Obama, democrats, NY Times etc. during his time in the office, and yet he hasn’t done that to Putin. And we are talking about the president of the United States here. This is definitely how you bring Americans together. And of course by hiring good people, the best people, and then firing them two weeks later.

Are you going to respond to my dispute of your earlier statement?

Statistics show that the U.S. has one of the worst educational systems of all the developed countries. Really hard to believe when you get such incredible insight and awareness on Neogaf posts on a daily basis.

What statistics?
If we look at the 2015 PISA results, the US is above the OECD average on reading and science, while below it in math (lost 11 points from 2012, in 2012 it was above Sweden).
There's objections to be had to the PISA tests, but I'm curious in regards to what statistics you were referring to.

I see it's easy to get arrogant, with the Finnish school system being highly successful, but I'm curious in regards to the validity of your statement.

Trump's latest tweets wrt to Mueller suggests he's closer to firing him than before. There's a pattern here... this is going to be a crazy period of time.

Why do you care? I get my news from a variety of sites (NPR, FORBES, National Review, The New Republic, The Economist and others) then compile what I believe to be closest picture of the truth. Where do you get your news?


Oh and InfoWars because that's what you want me to say. ;)

Trump is corrupt on every single level, he literally is vice city. If he were into alcohol or drugs he would already be dead from abuse. He can't control himself on any level.

It's funny that people who say they distrust the "MSM" always say that includes Fox, yet their beliefs and views always line up with all of Fox's talking points and opinions.

Like who?

And one can still distrust an outlet that typically runs editorial content that typically parallels one's own beliefs.

Like every single person on every forum I frequent who is a hardcore Trumpet. "THE MSM IS LYING TO YOU! Oh and here's what I think : three paragraphs of Fox News talking points."

Jesus Christ. Bolton is a straight up crazy person. He’s been calling for a preemptive war with Iran and North Korea for years.

He’s really going to do it. He’s going to try to fire Mueller. UGG this sucks. I know people are chomping at the bit to see this president get impeached but this is going to cause an unbelievable amount of damage.

I wish our politicians here in Australia would stand up to China, markets flooded with cheap Chinese crap, 1000s of local manufacturing jobs lost. The Chinese steal technology, pirate any and all products, have absolutely no respect for intellectual property, control wages and don't float their currency, they make a mockery of any such trade negotiations. They do not and will not follow any rules.

Our local housing market is in a shambles, severely overpriced due to foreign buyers mainly from China gimping the system and buying up land and houses to sell at a premium back to the local population.

So what's the Trump Outrage of the Day(tm)?
Click to expand...

Well, let's see:

Turns out that DNC hacker was a Russian Officer after all. https://www.thedailybeast.com/exclu...evealed-he-was-a-russian-intelligence-officer

Trump's lead lawyer for special counsel resigns. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/22/us/politics/john-dowd-resigns-trump-lawyer.html

Ivanka Trump is acting like a secretary of state for some freaking reason: http://www.newsweek.com/ivanka-trump-tillerson-south-korea-849409

Bob Corker admits that a part of the Republican base only cares that people follow Trump no matter what, and that's why the GOP won't risk that base: https://www.rawstory.com/2018/03/se...nt-care-issues-now-want-tribal-loyalty-trump/

I mean, that's just a fraction. We could literally do this everyday.

I think it would be better for you not to ask unless you want to start seeing these topics pop up left and right. Because they are obviously things we can have a discussion about. Evil would probably love it though.

What are you talking about? Can you quote the post you think points to me being biased? What is my bias? Lets have a discussion rather than saying, "take the L's and leave".
P.S... Its you're.

This post makes me laugh. Chart the stock market from the date trump started passing his budget and tax legistlation. It’s straight down. Our economy is teetering on recession with dangerous monetary policy and an insane amount of bond issuing/selling. China is challenging our petro dollar and Trump has done nothing what so ever about that. He’s a joke.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the Russian diplomat purge?

I like the response, seems some form of internal investigation was done before the measures were put in place.

If I were to take a guess I’d say it’s probably the effects of a years’ worth of daily articles, one more ridiculous than the last, patronizing the intelligence of the general population.

After a while people tend to get sick of what they're being fed and start refusing it.

Wonder how this happens with all the pornstar stuff going on?
Click to expand...

How come? A lot of people like Pres. Trump. A lot of people hate Trump. And some people prefer Trump over a Democrat or a 3rd party candidate when voting.

The surprising thing isn't that one poll says 42% approval after a pornstar tried to take him down legally and politically. It's that you keep expecting Teflon Don's strong/reluctant supporters to abandon him. It's not going to happen unless the witch hunt turns up something criminal or he's up against formidable 2020 competition.
