If I couldn't stand to read 2 sides to an arguement, I wouldn't come here.
We prob. should go back to the really important stuff that used to be discussed here - if brown suits where inappropriate for the WH or putting someone's shoes on a desk was wrong.

How about why some people can’t fact check anything they post?

I know, look at all these Right leaning kooks that keep starting threads.
Spence is right, we should spend more time fact checking.

Look at the rest of the front page. Or the 2nd page. JohnR isn't right leaning?
I didn't use the word kooks - you did. I did say "vast majority". Is that what bothered you enough to reply?

Remember Conservatives (Dem and Rep) want you to think things through and maybe see the light, and if not Ohhh Well. Hard Left requires your complete submission physically and mentally.

I have generally been a middle road more conservative Dem but those don't exist anymore so I am now the Radical Independent ; )
I even ever-so-briefly dipped a toe into maybe going progressive as some of my friends had until I saw the landscape and said eff that, all y'all are effing nuts ; )

Not what I meant - Other points of view are important and I want to read them. But as a general rule I find that Jim, myself, and others with more conservative views tend to be more understanding of the liberal side views than vice versa. I just can't recall anyone here who is left leaning ever commend an action by the current administration. My father always told me there will always be people "Who would complain if they were hung with a brand new rope", it kind of reminds me of the anti-Trump movement. I just find that many of you will not give the current president or administration a fair shake.

I gave Obama credit all the time for fixing the economy and bombing terrorists. They are all crappy fathers, none of them have any time to spend with their kids.

I pay pretty close attention and can't think of anything significant worth commending. Combine that with the pathological dishonesty, childish tantrums, rampant corruption etc... etc... and I'm not inclined to give Trump the benefit of doubt.

You work in Finance, and you se nothing worth commending.
Lowest black unemployment ever?
Neil Gorsich
Lowest unemployment in, what, 17 years?
stock market doing well
None of those are worth commending? I guess none are really reasons to cheer, or if they are, it's all Obama's doing?
