"Fake News" in Today's Political Climate

It's a problem when one cannot see any merit on the other side.
This bespeaks fanaticism.

That would make you a fanatic, no???

You don't read enuf.
And you need a haircut.

But on the plus side, you alerted me to your response to my post.

That's like saying the Pope is slightly Catholic.

That would indeed be a tough challenge. Offhand, I can't think of anything positive he did...

Have Mexico pay for The Wall - didn't happen.
Bring back jobs in coal mines - didn't happen.
Bring back auto manufacturing - didn't happen.

Denigrate the Press - not positive.
Hurl insults like a second-grade bully - not positive.
Hire and fire many top-level staffers - not positive.
Hire a bunch of people who were subsequently convicted of an assortment of crimes - not positive.
Have Flynn lie to his VP Pence - not positive.

Gulp! Gee Mr. ingest, that would have been a really tough challenge. I'm sure glad you didn't propose it.

No. It bespeaks reality.


But perhaps I'm wrong. Please list a few positive things you believe Trump has accomplished.

Things like appointing very Conservative SupremeCourt Justices obviously don't count because I don't believe striking down or weakening Roe v Wade would be positive.

No. It bespeaks reality.

Therein lies the problem.
Reality is never black & white, entirely without the vast gray in between.
There will be no common ground for discussion if you're committed to that view.

So, what shade of grey was your "fanaticism" comment?

I figure it's worth asking again.

You've already made it clear that you object to everything positive I've already
presented. That doesn't portend productive conversation were I to add anything.
