    But, calm yourself Jim - most of us recognize Trump's propensity for drama -- he's kinda like Tassman on steroids. I don't know anybody who actually believes that, in all cases, the media is literally the enemy of the people. You're allowing yourself to get sucked into the drama. Take a deep breath....

      Trump supporters believe it whether you know them or not, CP. Why else do you think despots like Trump continuously repeat it.

        So.... now I'm NOT a Trump supporter? Glad you finally got that.

              I don't think it's him trying to "brainwash" people as much as it is that just loves to twist the noses of the loony left. Why? Because it works!

                The excuses come forth where Trump saying things is bad, but Obama using the power of the government on the press is okay. Another day, another Jimmy double standard.

                  Obama wire taps members of the press and jails them and Jimmy excuses it all away, but God forbid that Trump use hyperbole against the press. Physician, heal thyself.

                    Again, apparently you are too dim witted to see the difference between signaling out a specific individual for a specific reason and painting the entire media as the enemy of the people. If you think really hard, maybe it will come to you lilpix. Not!

                        I'm sorry Jim - I'll try to dumb down my posts so you can understand them better.

                              Left-wing extremism: 0

                              Other mass shootings: 168

                              So that's 64% Islamic, 36% right-wing, 0% left-wing or 30% Islamic, 17% right-wing, 0% left wing, 52% other, if non-political mass shootings are included.

                              Note the complete lack of fatalities due to left-wing terrorism.

                              well gorsh, when you ignore the left wing violence, then your statistics will show what you want. Where was the shooter of the republicans at the baseball field? That wasn't in the list was it? Or the various cop killings? BLM violence? Antifa?
