Impeach. Now. Contact your houserep (find them using this http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/ ) and tell them to defend democracy.

I'm legit curious: anybody know someone who still supports these idiots, and what's their explanation for doing so? (W/o mentioning Hillary)

So when do we start talking about the very real & dangerous possibility of us living in a legitimate fascist state in the next 4-8 years?

It wasnt a press conference. Its what is known as a gaggle. They arent required, theyre a curtesy to the press. No one is entitled to attend

But breitbart is allowed in why? They're an extremist wing ran by fucking nazis, but since they ask nice questions they're ok.

Technically they're white nationalists, not Nazis. I know, Toh-MAY-toh, toh-MAH-to.

Obama attempted to ban Fox news, sure this is bad, but it's also business as usual and not the end of the world.
tanebou
Yes he did, and as a liberal, I railed against it then too. And CNN was there as the 1st people defending Fox. This is absolute bullshit.

I've seen this a few times now. Is this what he is actually saying or is this a bad lipreading?

Well, only two media outlets were banned, others are still allowed to attend. The news still gets out.

Associated Press didn't get banned, so it wasn't done purely on partisanship

"Purely"

I don't know what's worse, partisanship or personal pettiness. In this case, probably both.

The president having a personal grudge against several news sources is dangerous. Like, Obama disliked Fox, but he didn't bar them. Imagine

4, huffpost and buzzfeed were also banned
HistoryBuffMan
I'm not sure if you are serious, if you are... huffpost and buzzfeed are not exactly reputable news sources anyway. They are FB clickbait.
caramelballoffur
Yet they are att he exact same level as braitbart soooo
51CorgisInABar
What about New York Times and CNN? Are you really going to tell me Breitbart is more reputable then all of them?
snewsh
yes, this election season proved cnn and nyt are rags.
sangheraj
Huffpost doesn't overtly lie, but are heavily biased. It's ok to get news from them just not ok to use them in arguments. Buzzfeed news is
elfTastic
Huffpo is exactly what they claim, an aggregate news/ opinion company. As you say, heavily biased, but their news articles are usually news.
sangheraj
Separate from buzzfeed entertainment and you have to dig through a pile of shit to find a nickel, but again they don't overtly lie but are

All the votes for Johnson and stein would have helped Hillary not a bit in Texas. //jill stein man :(

Sorry, I won't cast my vote for the best turd. I want the best or the absolute worst. I am sorry though.

Do that in local elections. Not in a president election when you know you're going to get someone who can do the job or a complete buffoon.
horrorhoe
With the electoral college a lot of votes end up not affecting the outcome of your state. Voting third party could lead to a better system.
epipenis
Bullshit. 3rd party still needs 270 electoral v's to win. Otherwise congress picks the president. 3rd party has no chance unfortunately...
ICantFeelMyToes
I don't think either candidate could "do the job". Their probably was a better choice but I think some people need some eye opening if he
ICantFeelMyToes
can even be elected. So here's to hoping he is the worst presidential candidate in all of history so we might have a chance to progress.
snewsh
proud trump supporter, will vote for him again.
Blahblahhh
Proud of what? Is pissing off liberals all he has to do to earn your approval?
snewsh
no, doing his job like: enforcing immigration law, repairing the infrastructure, and protecting the country from outside threats
snewsh
the liberal thing is just gravy.
Blahblahhh
People like you will be the downfall of our country.
snewsh
newsflash: we are already on the downfall, and mostly thanks to liberals(here in cali at least)
DonaldDoge
Why though? Can't you see how awful of a job he is doing in office right now, or are you a stereotypical ignorant Trump supporter?
snewsh
what awful job? we are finally enforcing immigration laws in this country, hes proposed infrastructure reforms that would speed up repair 1/
snewsh
and required american steel be used in infrastructure jobs, and is trying vet people better from chaotic countries with rampant terrorism 2/
draculasamurai
I won't argue that he has had good moments, but he and his administration are lying and having temper tantrums.

But you are ignoring the blatant disregard to American standards, constitutional respect, and narcissistic tendencies.

That is not what makes our country great. Open discussion, thoughtful responses, and equal respect for opposing views are.

You could dip a turd in gold and present it as a beautiful work of art but at the end of the day it's still a pile of shit.
