    Yes Robert - I have walked the mall. I also make a good deal of my living by working in Photoshop - so I know that it's fairly easy to detect manipulation and retouching at the pixel level on a photograph. Trump's inaguaration crowd was not larger than Obama's if you go by photographic evidence.

    Thank god you are an independent thinker ... I am surprised that you share Trump's view on being spanked with a rolled up magazine with Trump's photo on the cover, however.

    All the shills in this thread are case studies in Noam Chomsky’s “Manufacturing Consent”.

    Sean Spicer spoke of attendance.

    Why did he?

    Response to the media claims.

    Sean told the press got it wrong.

    Why he explained?

    He spoke of a platform that restricted more
    He spoke of devices that curtailed audience


    Watch him go over it. Sean was misrepresented by the media.

    He added that audience to the one that took care of people like me, where I watched it live on the internet. I am sure others watched it live on TV.

    As usual things need to be corrected because dishonest idiots misquote Trump all the time.

    He actually said “FAKE NEWS MEDA” is the enemy. So he said media that lies is bad and as usual he’s right. Lying news reports are the enemy of the people. Are they not? He didn’t say news I Dont like. He didn’t say only liberal media. He said FAKE NEWS, which means lying news. Lies are the true enemy. It’s no coincidence that MSM sources are lying constantly but who’s counting.

    This is the same as all the nitwits that claimed he said “ALL Mexican” are rapists. Or he’s racist. Hates women. All the same BS fake news that he talked about.

    Because they lie, twist and misrepresent the facts. When it’s FAKE news it’s bad. When it’s jist reporting it’s good.

    To claim he called the media the enemy is not only dishonest but flat out wrong. He was specifically referring to those who LIE!! It’s been very clear, just like when he was referring to rapists and murderers and not ALL Mexicans . But the biggest media outlets LIED. They insinuated he was calling innocent Mexicans rapists. He was calling illegals who commit murder, murderers. And rapists, rapists. Just because most illegals coming in from the south are Mexicans doesn’t mean he was calling ALL Mexicans whatever you want to insert. He called out the bad people and the good people. He was very clear actually. But that’s what happens when you only listen to clipped 1/2 quotes. You get ...wait for it...fake news.

    Facts are facts.

    Well for two years they've been saying he's a traitor and an agent of Russia, Putin's puppet, that he colluded with Russia. So yeah, the biggest names in media owe him the biggest apology & retraction in history or they can keep being the #FakeNews media & enemy of the people!

    Again - then you would have had to include the people around the world who watched the Obama event live on the internet - and Obama had a larger social media following than Trump does.

    Daniel, if you actually judge me only by my words, you will instantly realize I am a very independent thinker.

    I go so far as to explain why I am that way.
    As a former very long term and very loyal Democrat, far too loyal looking back, my views were that hard due to the family influence I was raised in.

    Why I flipped to republican ivolved an about 2 year long study of government. I was not so much as trying to figure parties out, it was about goverment.

    Writings by some very famous thinkers over time changed my thinking pattern.
    Thomas Paine for example
    William E Simon another

    I took a new look at Reagan since prior to his presidency, he was one of my enemies. I formed my enemies upon discussions with family.

    To change, I quit listening to family.

    It was a difficult period for me to just change parties. I had too much time invested in Democrats to want to change. I kind of wanted to understand my new viewpoint but still stick with Democrats.

    I kept being rebuffed by Democrats claims. I finally tossed off my shackles and changed parties.

    I figured I would find a home in a third party. Trouble was they never won. I did not want to vote for the hell of it. My vote had to mean something or I would quit voting.

    I know we have two parties. We have two imperfect parties. But what is the worst of all. Perhaps a strict interpretation is one of the 3rd parties. But they never get power. So it was down to the republicans or democrats. Both parties had the track record to allow me to conclude one would win, so pick one that is deemed the superior. That for me was republican.

    None of this BS of voting for 3 party or fence sitting.

    I find there is still such bigotry in the Democrat party to not be able to stand their lessons today. It got to me very bad. They still want to beat the hell out of Trump. The Mueller report is full of reasons to stop beating Trump. But you will learn to your dismay that this will lead the democrats and amount to child like name calling. I won't play that game.

    Folks ignore the one liners. A one line post is not worth discussing. It is no discussion at all, it merely is a snarky reply.

    Sanders replied, “I think it’s irresponsible of a news organization like yours to blame responsibility of a pipe bomb that was not sent by the President — not just blame the President, but blame members of his administration for those heinous acts. I think that is outrageous, and I think it’s irresponsible.”
    CNN responded on Twitter, “No @PressSec, CNN did not say @realDonaldTrump was directly responsible for the bomb sent to our office by his ardent and emboldened supporter. We did say that he, and you, should understand your words matter. Every single one of them. But so far, you don’t seem to get that.”

    Words do matter, but Trump and his team prefer the power of sweeping statements over specific citations.

    Also, when you speak to me, recall I said around. You got the idea it was exact.
