Something just dawned on me. Assuming Trump is everything the far left criticizes him of being, did Russia also influence the sweeping of the entire republican ticket(Senate and House & gubernatorial? Was it Russia or disenchanted Americans?

A remarkably different discussion being had on CNN. All those commentators including Van Jones who ridiculed President Trump for a year and a half are now sounding a different tune about him and actually complimenting him. One thing to evolve over time, another to do a 180 in 48 hours. Nice to see but bit shocking

They have no choice now. They've been embarrassed and ridiculed by Trump and the rest of America. The executives at CNN were forced to change their false narratives in order to not continue to be shut out by this administration effecting their ratings and bottom line.

But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge; and the crime and the gangs and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.

This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.

i didn't know the entire country was the backdrop of "boyz in the hood 2".

WhiteHouse.gov immediately wiped pages on LGBT rights, civil rights, climate change, and health care from its “issues” section after Donald Trump took the oath of office.

lol.

Well sexual assault, homophones, racism, misogyny, lying and corruption didn't hurt Trump's cause (or your support of him) so you can't really claim any sort of moral high ground

Comparing those rubes to a legitimate candidate is like comparing Frederik Weiss to KP. Gimme a phucking break. He didn't NEED any help beating those feckless dimwits down.

Hillary may not be likable, but she is clearly a very gifted and competent politician. She lost due to her OWN failure to communicate with a key democratic constituency, the ones who felt the Bern but didn't find any of it in the Clinton camp. If only Bernie had won the primary...

Dumbsss's have thrown rocks thru the windows of some Starbucks. Apparently clueless that the founder and former ceo Howard Shultz is left leaning and very active on social initiatives and may be making a run as Democrat in 2020. Gladly those clueless punks are a minority amongst peaceful protesters. I did chuckle at the sign that one girl was holding saying "I like *****"

The politics is just a lead for natural violence to be released.

Yep, can you imagine if the protesters started sexuality assaulting women! Oh wait...

Trump supporters, you have no moral authority- NONE!

What moral has to do with crime?
Crime is crime. It is immoral regardless of politics.

Just the right porridge by President Trump in recognizing Hillary and former President Clinton and letting all have a opportunity to applaud them at the inaugural luncheon. She may not be my cup of tea but have to respect them for showing and fully participating. Think the major players handled a very awkward situation very well . Must have been hard given the history and differences. President Obama as usual was very gracious and stately. I did find his departure sad but he will remain in the arena and that is a good thing

what does Russian intervention have to do with Trump's character and policies? You're conflating two unrelated things. The people who vote for local representatives have nothing to do with whether the Russians helped Trump. Those who opposed Trump didn't do that because of Russian hacking!

This country is divided. Urban America vs Rural America in many ways. Progressive vs Conservative. The demographics are leaning towards Urban/Progressive America which you see in the Popular vote. A LOT of Trump Voters did so against their own best interests!!!

So the rich win again...They managed to thrive after the economic down turn, near depression following the Bush administration.. The made tons of money in the stock market the last six years recovering to all time highs...They are the only ones benefiting from this economy...Now we elected a businessman in Trump who promises to cut their taxes and repatriate trillions of dollars that will go to stock buy backs and bonuses...Elimination of death tax will have the Trump kids salivating..The always manage to come up aces don't they...

We will watch as his supporters cheer this on...

When asked how will we know when America is great again?, Trump responded, I will tell you...

No one is entitled to decide what are peoples best interest for them.
Isn't this the essence of democracy?
Let people make the wrong decisions, experience the consequences, and then make the right ones.
People are not capable of learning on other people mistakes. Only on their own. And even this is not mastered by everyone.
Most of the people incapable to see what is good for them, how you can even imagine you know what is good for others?
