    Or facts.

    Cohen is a columnist, not a journalist. Neither am I a liberal, nor, in case it needs expanding, have I ever been a Democrat. What I am is a non-partisan displaced conservative, and in the wake of the Trump takeover of the Republican party, I've got plenty of company.

    Breitbart et al.'s attacks on the mainstream media are distasteful, but to be expected, because when you can't defend your own work, there aren't a lot of other options.

    And so long as you're using them as a source, you're in a poor position to engage in media criticism. Because parroting lies, even if they're not your own, makes you a liar, too, and their lack of credibility becomes yours as well.
    Not in my thread, please.

    In all seriousness, if you're going to act this sneeringly superior (as seems to happen often with you), go elsewhere.
    I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

      I didn't vote for Trump either...I just decided I'd make my own little "Trump condemnation" thread and see if any of the conservatives would join in.

          What do you think I am, conervative? I think the that liberals undersrtand that the OP was just to give conservatives the oportunity to say that they "don't support Trumps Infidelity." Ya know, even though they are always defending him, like, oh theres no evidence, the women are all lying, it was just locker talk, what about Clinton, etc etc. We liberals know that you couldn't really care any less. If that were Obama, you'd be tearing him apart, not defending him.

            I don't think anybody defended Trump's "locker-room talk"; we've simply pointed out the fact that while it was immoral, it wasn't illegal. We also pointed out the hypocrisy of those who condemned Trump for what he said while giving a pass to Bill Clinton for what he did, and to Hillary who enabled her sexual predator husband and destroyed the lives of his victims. And the accusations against Trump of sexual abuse and rape really did fall apart under scrutiny.

            Of course defending the President against overblown accusations in one case, and outright lies in the other, is not the same as defending his moral failings.

              I missed you. I tend to overlook you because of your complete unimportance to anything relevant.

                Maybe if I get bored I'll make a mega-post with quotes of conservatives on here condemning Trump for one thing or another.

                      So...to illustrate how conservatives defend Trump "at every turn," you quote a post in which MM condemns Trump for immoral conduct?

                        I guess Jimmy missed the part where I said that Trump has moral failings.

                          So you didn't defend Trump's behaviour, but you did excuse it.

                          That would have been more impressive if it was written the other way around.
