Fking A. It's the problem right now: anything Trump says is horrible. If he says A "its the end of the world" If he says B "its useless" On the same topic. It doesn't matter what he says, these people will shut him down. Result? he might be bad, terrible - who knows. Nobody trusts anyone or anything anymore - because all sources lies so much it's too unreliable.

This is exactly how I feel. The news is so sensationalized it's ridiculous. As a thought experiment, read the news headlines from a Trump speech, then watch the actual speech. They focus on a sentence or two and ignore the rest of the speech. Yes, he said something stupid, but what else did he say? Perfect example is the Spicer gas thing. Had he said Hitler didn't use gas on the battlefield, he would have been completely right. In WWI they used gas a lot and everyone expected Hitler to do so. Many theorize it was because Hitler himself was gassed in WWI. What else did Spicer say? You'll have to watch the press conference to find out, the news sure isn't going to tell you. That's subversive as hell. I don't particularly care for Trump, nor any politician for that matter, but I don't like being treated like a child by the news (left and right). For what it's worth, many companies have been using H1B to lower wages. That's all that's on their spreadsheets. They're sold on other things like, "you can ramp up when you need it," and, "you never have to worry about losing people because we have redundancy and will train the new person," but that's all BS. I think it will raise US wages and equity packages for at least the next 10 years or so. 10%, 30%, 50% maybe. I'll take that. They've been suppressed for 20.

  I never thought I'd see somebody so broken and drenched in authoritarian Kool-Aid that they'd defend Spicey's multiple Hitler claims. He's a professional communicator who, instead of just walking his comments back to say "Assad did something that Hitler also did, and it was unacceptably evil", he just dug in and kept arguing his dumb point.
