    You're also going to have to explain to me what Leming means if you want me to be offended.

    Trump keeps saying he "inherited a mess"? How would he have felt about becoming president in 2009?

    The man often seems to have difficulty distinguishing between fantasy and reality.

    That said, I hope he does great things over the next four years for all of our sakes.

    I wouldn't consider the mess today any less than it was 8 years ago. Different certainly. Heck I think all of us Democrat or Republican have to honestly say how much of a Mess our government is and has been.

    Interesting but I bet ISIS would not be in power and murdering muslim citizens and, running them out of their countries and homes into Europe.

    Not sure how a Commander and Chief of the greatest army the world has ever know could play so much golf over the last 8 years and just turn a blind eye to what our servicemen and women had fought so hard to accomplish over there, giving the people their first taste of freedom and just give it right back to what is now ISIS. So trump really is back in 2009 but worse.

    We are even close to 2009, we were losing jobs at a record pace and still involved in three wars.

    Iraq
    Afghanistan
    The war on terror.

    What are you smoking these days, share some please.

    The USA is currently experiencing one it's longest economic expansions ever and it does not appear to be ending anytime soon.

    The financial crises of 2008 caused by far the worst reccesion since the Great Depression of the 1930's.

    Boy...pretty tough to figure out when our when our country was in worse shape

    And Obama pulled out of all of them for pole rating.

    It's prescription now ever since Trump cut off my supply line.

    So which is it. You're a fan of capitalism or socialism?

    Socialism? Really? My income has more than doubled over the past 6 years. The United States is still among the most capitalist countries in the world. You combine that with being the largest economy and you have what is known as the Land of Opportunity.

    Some signs you might only get your "news" only from Fox:
    1. You still think the birth certificate was forged.
    2. You still think Obama was a Muslim.
    3. You still believe that Obama took more vacation days than G. W. Bush.
    4. You were ready to take up arms to fight Obama's U.N. forces when he declared marshal law, and tried to send his detractors to FEMA camps.
    5. You still think Obama is actually a gay man.
    6. You still think Michelle is a gay man.
    7. You believe that there is an 8 year delay in the economic cycle, and that Clinton's prosperity was because of Reagan, Bushes collapse was because of Clinton, and Obama's prosperity was because of Bush.
    8. You know that Michelle Obama wasted $1,000,000 dollars of tax payer money to go on a ski vacation in Colorado, but you are not aware that each weekend trip to Mar Lago costs us $3,000,000.

    Covey, not sure if you are referring to me, or them. Either one could be true on any given day.

    Pffttt....
    Shep Smith is a GD flake. He's always got his stayfree pad in a bunch over Trump.

    I believe I told you so about Fox News being moderate at best.

    Agreed.

    I flip back and forth between fox and msnbc and cnn on election nights, debate nights, and its as if they all watched a different debate.

    Honestly, even npr isnt neutral.

    I can stomach local news on nbc because its just the facts. Pretty much.
