    He perceived the results as negative but they were things he said. Another sound byte to say they were negative results rather than "statements of facts."

    The Republicans have everything going their way with both houses and the presidency. A lot should be possible to get done. Let's just be patient and see how it pans out.

    Well, the other side have perceived negatively and with frustration him raising the issues and asking the establishment inconvenient questions. Is there anything wrong with that?

  7. Leftism in some form is the norm for most of the world. It's all about power and control to the elites.

    For the globalists to achieve their NWO, America can not be allowed to be a "shining light of freedom and individual rights"... and therefore must be destroyed.

    Progressives have been working on us for the last 100 years or so... chipping away a little at a time until we are now on the precipice of collapsing into the abyss of socialism and tyrannical governance. Trump is likely our last and only hope... if for nothing more than to slow down the juggernaut.

    :(

    Mark Halperin Rips 'New York Times' For Continued Anti-Trump Coverage: "This Is The Onion"

    Host of 'With All Due Respect' on Bloomberg TV Mark Halperin rips the New York Times for their continuously anti-Trump coverage, even after the election.

    "I love The New York Times. I think it’s a great institution…” he said on MSNBC’s 'Morning Joe' on Thursday. "But look at the headline of this story," he said, holding up today's print version.

    The front page headline of The New York Times today reads: "Democrats, Students And Foreign Allies Face The Reality Of A Trump Presidency"

    "Their headline is not ‘Disaffected Americans Have A Champion Going To The White House’ or ‘The Country Votes For Fundamental Change.’ The headline is about how disappointed the friends of the people who run The New York Times are about what happened," Halperin said.

    "It’s amazing," Halperin said. "It’s The Onion."

    "If a Democratic candidate who was given a 10% chance of winning by The New York Times had ended up winning– and winning red states as Trump won blue states– I don’t think that would have been the headline," he continued. "I’ll just say again; the responsibility of journalists is to not report on their biases, it’s to go out and understand the country through the prism of the election and say why are people feeling the way they’re feeling."

    Just FYI - Halperin makes the above comments in the Morning Joe video I posted starting at about 6:10.

    The odd thing about the NYT is that their realtime forecasting tool was uncannily accurate but the entire editorial department decided to ignore it. Pure hubris right there.
