    Trolling is an embarrassment. Stop embarrassing yourself and debate like an adult. If you have a point, make it.

    So attacking the president is free speech, but attacking those who attack is not free speech? I'm confused- because i don't believe in double standards like that.

    The left has gone to deeply embarrassing levels of abuse of the privilege of the press. I realize they would be happy if anyone they attacked just rolled over and played dead- but I'm thinking the counterattacks are more than warranted.

    On the other hand- why not just quit attacking and try to be rational? And yes, that means admitting what you don't want to admit- but it makes genuine communications possible too.

    Attacking the President with false stories, fake news and with the aim to bring down that President and bring down the government is actually treason.

    You didn't provide an example to back up your claim. Give me an example of a corporation the federal government is funding with taxpayer's money.

    Prove it or you're fake news. Clarify. You made the bold statement. So, step up.

    Yep, typical liberal fake news story. Make a claim, run away when asked for proof and details. Well done, sir!

    Attacking a crap press, is as much Of an attack on the first amendment, as punching an asshat who falsely claims there is a fire in a crowded theater.

    He can't back it up. He thinks all the money in the United States belongs to the treasury, and any corporation that makes a profit is stealing from the government.
