We believe he has the will and the ability to forge the broad political consensus that is essential to finding solutions to this nation’s problems.

In the same time, Senator John McCain of Arizona has retreated farther and farther to the fringe of American politics, running a campaign on partisan division, class warfare and even hints of racism. His policies and worldview are mired in the past."

he adopted a black daughter FFS. but he puts off hints of racism. this, directed at a guy who got tortured for YEARS. and people subscribe to that rag.

Imagine a dozen hard working very respectful bipartisan Demicrates and Republicans on both sides in today’s administration, probably be a very different environment. I’m not saying there aren’t hard working elected officials, but it seems to be all tribal partisan politics today.

True, but it has been this way for a while. And when 80% of the media sides with when party, the tribalism is exacerbated.

Oh, and if you don't think Tumblr has a "side" then you aren't living in reality. Its pretty much SJW/Feminist central

"Google is not fair; it favors some candidates, and it opposes others. And so far, it seems to prefer Democrats.

Our crowdsourced analysis of Google search results on Dec. 1 for the names of 16 presidential candidates revealed that Democrats fared better than Republicans when it came to supportive and positive sites within the first page of results. Democrats had, on average, seven favorable search results in those top 10, whereas GOP candidates had only 5.9."

Kind of matches demographics, what should the numbers be to be FAIR
Do you think government should make sure we all have an equal start in politics, but not anyplace else?

Nope, just pointing out that there are biases in Social Media/Internet Searches. People need to be smart enough to realize it, sadly some aren't or just don't want to see it.
Cough, Cough Spence Cough, Cough

Trump's anti-Google tweets show that he doesn't know how the internet works and again getting his info from Fox Trump seemed to be tweeting about Monday's episode of Lou Dobbs' show on Fox Business.


seems your in the same boat :kewl:

"We're taking a look at it," says WH econ advisor Larry Kudlow, asked if the Administration thinks Google searches should be regulated, following @POTUS complaint today that it's rigged against him.


Shut down anything that doesn't praise the dear leader

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
· 5h
Google search results for “Trump News” shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake News Media. In other words, they have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD. Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out. Illegal? 96% of....


Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
....results on “Trump News” are from National Left-Wing Media, very dangerous. Google & others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good. They are controlling what we can & cannot see. This is a very serious situation-will be addressed!

I am amazed that every one of us doesn't first feel outrage with the extremism and dirty play exhibited from both sides..... A common call to decency and working together is long overdue. There is an awful lot of good in the last writings and quotes from Senator John McCain that both sides should seriously contemplate. One of my favorites:

We are three-hundred-and-twenty-five million opinionated, vociferous individuals. We argue and compete and sometimes even vilify each other in our raucous public debates. But we have always had so much more in common with each other than in disagreement. If only we remember that and give each other the benefit of the presumption that we all love our country we will get through these challenging times. We will come through them stronger than before. We always do.
