Blackberries are not renowned for compelling apps like Clash Royale

Blackberry are used heavily by drug dealers in Aus as they are secure and can be set to wipe if you enter a preset pin.

National Park service used to have budget to provide crowd numbers, but the budget was removed so they no longer provide numbers according to one news channel

We shouldn't be too surprised with the repugnant attacks on Barron Trump though - the left is the side of politics who are cheerleaders for every abortion and mourn when the abortion rate fails to increase rapidly. They see abortion as the apotheosis of womanhood - so it is unsurprising that they are willing to abuse children and use them as social battering rams.

Got it. Abortion bad. Gays bad.

Re: 2016 US Presidential Election

Don't forget "womanhood" and child abuse by said women.

Got it. Abortion bad. Gays bad.

Re: 2016 US Presidential Election

Haha why is the media so concerned now about "true news"

Nothing new. Same happens at all press interviews. That's why you have people surrounding a politician giving an interview all nodding in agreement

Can guarantee that Hilary would have done the same and did

She would have spent her first day complaining about tweets and lying about demonstrably inaccurate falsehoods to do with crowd numbers? Give me a spell.

I would have preferred Mods not to have edited the original comment I quoted. Not a huge fan of censorship, despite my rabid left leanings.

Ah...but exhaustive Trump analysis has revealed that in 2009 mainly morbidly obese supporters showed up who took up a lot more space and so actual photographic evidence is misleading. Whereas the super-fit Trumpist Supporters were able to jam in tight eager to lap up every word.

So that when the Obama apologists are claiming that the 2017 crowd was bigger, they really just meant BIGGER

Side by side comparison of inauguration crowds from 2009 and 2017

Re: 2016 US Presidential Election

I just cant get over the reaction to Trump and his unacceptable words and Clinton who at least 8 women have accused him of sexual assault,2 of actual rape.
Now not found guilty but Paula Jones was paid $US850000 as an out of court settlement.Why?
Why the huge difference between saying and doing?

well if read the reports, there is no difference between them. They both did and/or are doing. Not sure why you think Trump is actually to be believed? He has shown a previous dispostion to manipulate the truth(or at least try dreadfully). Case in point the attendance at inaugaration fiasco.

Watch them come out of the woodwork over the next year or 2. The sooner the better as far as I'm concerned.

I am totally putting money on #alternativefacts being the word of 2017.

No, it was highly inappropriate and the Mods made the right decision.

It was highly appropriate, which was the point of my original reply.
Moving on.

I removed the text that was removed from the original post. Not removing it would create a double standard. The words shouldn't have been typed.

Re: 2016 US Presidential Election

Sorry my mistake. Hilary doesn't lie.

I am not sure which is worse of the two lying scenarios:

1) Hilary-esque lies (and to be frank, most other politicians across the political spectrum) - lying knowing full well you are lying (core and non-core promises are another example).
2) Trump-esque lies- where you actually believe the lies you are telling are really true.

One is a matter of being devious and deceptive, the other is not being able to tell the fact from fiction (or at least seeming as if you can't).

.....the other is not being able to tell the fact from fiction (or at least seeming as if you can't).

... or being "Goebbels"-like - tell a lie often enough and loud enough and it becomes the truth (or "alternate fact").
