It doesn't matter what I ever said Dave. Just as much as it doesn't matter what Trump ever does. You decided to hate us both. You decided not to value my opinions long ago. I can speak with the plainest of language, and the most direct irrefutable logic possible, and you would ignore or pull out some absurd disqualifier out of your ass.
Hate you? Meh, I just find you annoying. Trump? Yep. I do like that he's getting illegals out (like the story of the women who was illegal, making regular trips to immigration to talk about it, and finally being deported. She's been in the US for 21 years. Not a criminal by any stretch but I'm not a fan of illegals.
I'm also happy he kept the LGBT protections in place for federal workers. I just hate his personality, mannerisms, speech, and other actions.
My fundamental beliefs: Smaller government, personal liberty. From what I can tell, Trump is doing right by that. You might not like it because your core beliefs are obviously something different... I don't have time to debate whether or not socialism works (it doesn't) or disarming law abiding citizens decreases gun violence (it doesn't) but if you think I'm going to sit idly by and not laugh at your misery than you got another thing coming.
I've no issue with your fundamental beliefs.
I'm not even attacking them at all, just your lack of ability to defend Trump's actions and words.
Socialism works well. (See Roads, parks, public schools, police, fire department. Not to mention where I live, socialized medicine works very well.)
I agree that disarming lawbiding Americans won't help but neither will Arming them. I've seen the data. Of course, the national average on violent crimes has dropped over the last 4 years or so. Make whatever connection you want about that.
Do you really think people are getting paid to be pro-trump on the internet? Like some kind of organization committed to Correcting the Record or some lame shit like that?
Actually, yes. Not Correcting the Record (Trump's own words really don't need correcting) but people who are paid to write favorable comments about him on social media. It's actually quite common. I know a guy who worked in the news industry and everyone does it: Politicians, companies, celebrities, the works. There are whole companies whose job it is to write positive reviews on Yelp(and other social media/review sites) for your business. It's against most of their policies to let them but it's not easy to stop.

When they squeeze in a quick blurb about some terrorist plot or attack in between your local murders and the token feel good story on the 5 O' Clock news does that really count as "covering" the attack?
The same people that white washed Hillary Clinton are trying to white wash Islam.
What news are you watching that does that? Because so far all the mass killings have made national news and had more than just a spot. Granted, I read news websites not watch TV but still...
Also, you need to understand one very important thing:
Profit.
See, each and every news agency aside from a few are in it for profit. Money. The Free Market. They must provide a product for their customers. So they'll give them what they want. This is what media bias is, it's about making their customers happy. Fox does it by making things more sensational for right wingers. CNN does it by making things more emotional for left-wingers. If they didn't, people would just get their news from those that did and they'd lose advertising revenue and sponsors. It's sad but that's the way it works: you can't run a news agency without money and you can't make money without getting people to read your news.
