    Lol. Are you even convincing yourself here?

    But at least I can casually play Classic and remember when MMORPGs were good.

    It is an editorial. In other words an opinion piece. It really isn't news. Naturally, the "editorial board" is entitled to their opinion as is everyone.

    Not everyone that is of voting age voted in America. And I would imagine more than a few of the people that voted for each side actually were voting against the opposition rather than in support of the the candidate they voted for.

    Because as of the election, they were the only "mainstream media" outlet that Trump supporters liked. I'm curious as to when this all changed.
    You sure seem to know quite a bit about Trump supporters.

    I voted for Trump. It was really a vote against Hillary though. Go through my post history I've made no claims otherwise.

    That vote is about to pay off - SCOTUS. Now let's hope Ginsburg "retires." But that would just be a bonus.
    I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote.
    I found a preacher who spoke of the light, but there was Brimstone in his throat.
    He'd show me the way, according to him, in return for my personal check.
    I flipped my channel back to CNN and lit another cigarette.

    The difference with this and just a regular Allybeboba opinion, is that they have sourced material from Trump himself and his administration. You never dispute those, you just ignore them.

    The other difference is the LA Times is considered a MSM "news" outlet. Many ill informed people will think this is real news and not merely an opinion piece.
    One can't blame the LA Times though. They are only pandering to their subscriber base. After all, they do realize who butters their bread when it is all said and done.

    They aren't pandering to anyone. It's a well-educated opinion with sources, versus your bizarre talk about how your opinion is equivalent.

    That's exactly what he is though. Trump won by overpromising and playing on people's fears and emotions. He was completely hypocritical on many stances depending on which state he was campaigning in. Buzzword or not, he is a demagogue.

    What kind of president continues to campaign after they won the election? Well, a narcissist that's who.

    Or, and I'm sure you never considered this because reasons, he wants to keep on touch with his supporters.

    A politician is always campaigning. Only a lame duck PotUS stops campaigning.

    No, prejudice implies that you judge something not by what you see, but by what you expect. Banning someone from entering the country without even getting to read their file is a very serious form of prejudice.

    Yes, lame ducks like all the founding fathers who focused on making the nation a better place rather than partying with their fan clubs...

    The founding fathers were not professional politicians either. Times have changed in nearly a quarter of millennium.

    My real criticism though is that somehow anyone would look at this whole fiasco and conclude that we need a press that is more aggressive, and less constrained by facts. They're completely off the chain currently.
    What was wrong with the Uranium One deal? You mean the fact that Clinton was one of nine departments that had to OK it? Or the fact that you still think that she profited from it? Here's a hint, SHE DIDN'T. Trump has made that VERY SAME FUCKING CLAIM, and it was false for him and it is false for you.

    The problem is that there's no way to know how many voted. The system is too vulnerable. That's the entire point.
    Yeah, no. Just because they got a driver's license, doesn't mean they got the opportunity to vote. Still doesn't change the fact that it is a lie. How many times can you lie in a single thread? Are we going to go for a record?

    I guarantee it has something to do with that they bag on Trump any time they can. If you talk shit about Trump, you are part of the MSM now. Which in turn makes them the "enemy of the people" as coined by Trump.

    NOT EVEN FUCKING CLOSE. Just because you don't like them, doesn't mean they lie. It just means that you are wrong, again. Or should I say still?

    It changed when they weren't literally slobbing the knob of the Cheeto Jesus.

    Considering just being white makes you a racist now it doesn't sound like something you can control.
