    The evidence just keeps piling up on Trump's collusion with Russia.

    Putin thanks Trump for CIA's help in stopping terror attacks

    My faith in democracy is at an all time low..this is just unacceptable.

    The CIA helped prevent a terrorist attack in St. Petersburg, how is that unacceptable?

    Also you do realize the CIA is not Trump right? Nothing to do with collusion.

    The president & Fox News continue to try to undermine the FBI & run a smear campaign against the institution. This is something you see from authoritarians/dictators & Fox News, one of the most watched cable news networks in the country, is helping push this. It’s very disturbing. Remember, Trump sang praises for Comey/FBI towards the end of his campaign:



    Seems like the president only likes the FBI when they’re investigating his political opponents:



    What happened to “respecting law enforcement?” I guess that doesn’t apply for the FBI. It’s not okay to kneel but if you want to trash the FBI and its leadership? Sure!

    This is the easiest deflection but based on things he’s said in the past — would you really put it past him? This is the guy that generalized Mexican immigrants as”rapists” & called for a Muslim ban. Also, this should be noted:

    This is probably his most misquoted line. If you watch the actual speech he doesn’t say that.

    He says “some are good people” & then proceeded to accuse Mexico of sending over violent criminals. Statistically & factually, there’s no merit to either of those statements. A majority of undocumented immigrants who come here are good people seeking a better life.

    Of course the White House is going to deny it lol how stupid do you think they are? Funny enough, by posting that screen shot you’re saying you trust the NYTs reporting. I thought they were fake news?

    They are Im just also pointing out that they are also saying most of the people there denied the report. And some are good people and some are d--- dealers and g--- members. There is no lie in trumps statement. 100% of illegal immigrants break the law, and thats a fact

    Why would that point matter if they’re fake news? You don’t believe anything they publish, right? And that’s not what they said though. They said several people from the meeting didn’t recall trump making those comments. Also, you’re using a strawman argument. You’re using the fact that since their illegal, they’ve all broken the law but that’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about trump’s accusations of them being violent criminals. You can’t say only “some [undocumented immigrants] are good people” when undocumented immigrants commit crime at a lower rate than natural born citizens. Most are good people. Also, let’s not forget his accusation that the Mexican government sends over violent criminals. That’s a complete lie.

    And yes, the claim that Mexico is sending us their criminals is a reach.

    Yeah I see it but i agree with most of what you said. Some are d--- dealers/g--- members but that’s not what the president said. He said the opposite. He said “some are good people” & insinuated that most of them were violent criminals.

    Yeah, I’m fine with people claiming NYT is left leaning — that’s fine. That doesn’t mean it’s totally bias and can’t be trusted. It’s one of the most widely acclaimed media outlets in the world with a long history. There’s a difference between NYT & MSNBC. There’s levels to bias. I think Fox News is hyper-partisan garbage but I also acknowledge that The Wallstreet Journal & Forbes (that both lean to the right) are much more credible. I don’t dismiss their reporting simply because they lean right.

    Not saying that the NYT can’t be trusted, but I take their Trump coverage with a grain of salt. And yes, there are levels of bias indeed.

    Although I can’t tell you how many liberals i know irl that seem to think media bias is only a right wing thing.
