Trump's ties to Russia are not "lies". There is an investigation ongoing about them. He has been forced to fire two people in his inner circle when the press dug up their ties to Russia (Michael Flynn and previously his campaign manager Paul Manafort).

If nothing fishy is going on here, why is he firing these people?

A full investigation, unbiased is warranted and the press is not only correct to report on this, they should become even more vigilant to get answers now.

If this was reversed and Hilary Clinton was president and banning the conservative press, calling for a war on the press, etc. one month into her presidency for asking too many questions about her emails, the Republicans would be crying bloody murder and probably calling for armed revolt and impeachment. 

Hypocrites the lot of them who silently will sit by now and say nothing.

Donald Trump's a liar, so it's no surprise that he's surrounded by liars.

The problem is people see what they want to see VGPolyglot. Trump has lied all through the campaign and majority of his presidency so far. And it's not even "fake news". You can look at the things he says from his own mouth and the contradictions that come with them.

I just hope that IF (yes I said IF) we survive these four years, people will be smarter with their votes. Because I don't care what anyone has against Hillary Clinton, you can't tell me she would have been worse than this dictator-in-the-making.

Actually, I think the best thing about Trump winning the presidency is that Hillary isn't preisdent. However, the worst thing about Hillary not being president is that Trump is president. Remember, Hillary Clinton went to Donald Trump's wedding, and she congratulated Trump on his win and told the people to accept him as president. They're closer and more similar to each other than most think. However, I guess I shouldn't be spending too much time on Clinton, becayse Donald Trump is the one in office and is the much bigger threat, and something needs to happen. Now, to most people, the end game of that is just protesting until Trump gets replaced by someone who's very similar to him in policy but more eloquent and reasonable-sounding in the next elections. Personally, I see that as a way to quell public disapproval without really changing anything, and that something much more drastic is needed in order to ensure a positive future.



16 people or almost 30% managed to answer a rhetorical question wrong, interesting.

Just read this thread and you'll find them.



So he didn't invite the snippy bitches to his party. Any news source that 'reported' that Trump said that the media is the enemy of the people was fake news lying yet again. He said that the FAKE news was the enemy of the people. So the ones that lied yesterday leaving out the word fake were left of the party invite list today. GOOD for him. And maybe they will learn. Anyone hear on the news that the stock market as of this week has added 3 Trillion in value since he won the election? NO? Really good news for the 40% of Americans who have stocks or a 401K. The Lib media harps on every single word he says. Remember the outrage when Obama called the Cambridge MA police stupid? NO?

Not that it makes what Trump has done right but I don't remember the members of VGCharts decrying Obama when he did something similar.  Perhaps I'm wrong and there were threads about it and I just missed them if so I will gladly eat the words coming next:

The double standards are getting old

Yes, Barack Obama was a very authoritarian/untransparent leader as well. That's why I don't just want Trump out, I want the entire system out. 



Perhaps we are just getting the leaders we deserve but I can't hardly remember the last time we had a good president ... Bush sucked, Obama sucked, Trump could be disastrous ... sigh I was young and didn't follow politics but I'm sure if I had I probably wouldn't have been happy with the first Bush and maybe not even Regan.
