Could ONE reporter ONE time say to Trump when he complains the press is negative and hostile (as he's doing right now), "Sir, its because you LIE and we have to report that. Don't lie and we won't be so "negative". ONCE please?

China is a dictatorship that, for decades, enforced a one child per family policy under penalty of forced sterilization. But they can't close down the farmer's market from hell?

Got to see, by accident, wacko comedian Bill Maher’s show - So many lies. He said patients in El Paso hospital didn’t want to meet with me. Wrong! Had really great meetings with numerous patients. Said I was on vacation. Wrong! Long planned fix up of W.H., stay here rather than..
Why can’t Democrats learn to do what Republicans do and just repeat 1 point that seals your case, as: “You said Mexico wld pay for the wall”...just say that 1 thing and nothing else till this mess is over! What else needs to be said?
Message to Trump voters: Vote Democrat, because as soon as this election is over, no one will give a shit about the caravan. But you'll still have diabetes.
What's going on in NC, WI and MI is not getting nearly enough attention - this 'let's strip all of the Democrats' powers before they take office' - they never stop going lower. Media, do. your. fucking. job!!
I see Twitter got made because Beto's wife didn't talk during his announcement. You're right, he's a sexist monster, we're better off with Trump. To my FarLeft friends: you're doing it again. Amy can talk or not, her call, but you need to shut the fuck up.
Before election, I told Trump voters, as soon as its over, the caravan will disappear from the news...see? And to the media (especially cable news) who say the caravan "has disappeared from the news" - you put it there! You are always doing Trump's bidding for him.

A prez shld really check where his own country is in the rankings for literacy, infant mortality, life expectancy, infrastructure, income inequality, percentage of women in govt, etc before saying who's the shithole country...

last week for the first time in a long time. He’s totally SHOT, looks terrible, exhausted, gaunt, and weak. If there was ever a good reason for no shutdown, check out this jerk. He never had much going for him, but whatever he did have is missing in action!
When something bad happens, its not complete until Trump tweets something heartless and ignorant about it - it ain't over till the fat baby zings - so of course he's blaming our fires on tree huggers. Does he know Thousand Oaks is a town and not actually a thousand oaks?
As his speakership winds down and the U S posts "the widest Nov budget deficit on record" let's all reflect on the gutless, intellectual fraud that was Paul Ryans's career.
I gotta give Trump this: he gives me a genuine LOL almost every day. "Xmas is back, bigger and better than ever." U can't write that kind of comedy. I know he's done a 1,000 crazier things, but taking credit for Xmas? That's a special kind of nuts.
Tanks in the streets now? Shall we review the Dictator Checklist? You're a narcissist who likes to put his name on buildings...you appoint family members to key govt positions..your rallies are scary...you threaten to lock up political opponents..your friends are other dictators
I feel like we've been invaded by a culture that doesn't share our values - Trump supporters. I long ago gave up asking "What would it take for them to turn...?", but this McCain gracelessness, Jesus. MY hat says "Really? That's your guy?"
So we find out now the lady who ran the massage parlor where Robert Kraft got caught is Trump's friend who sold access to...I can't. Trump is so dirty, he's even in this RubnTug scandal? I can't. I need a day off.
What's the lesson of Afghanistan? Maybe it's that everyone from the giant dorm room bitch session that is the internet should take a good look at what real oppression looks like.

Hearing tales of furloughed govt workers who can't make basic payments after missing one or two paychecks is a reminder of our fucked up economy! These are supposed to be middle class jobs, but if you can't survive skipping one paycheck, that's not middle class!
George W Bush called several moderate senators this week to lobby for Kavanaugh. This is your monthly reminder that George W Bush was and is a terrible person.
They say in politics, liberals are the gas pedal, and conservatives are the brakes, and I'm generally with the gas pedal, but not if we're driving off a cliff.

Labor Day has now turned into a day where the half that's doing OK has off and goes out to dinner and such, and the other half, for whom the holiday was intended, labors, because they can't turn down the money. That's America now, and the high cost of low living.
Other than Trump’s ties to the American mob, the Russian mob,Russian hookers, the Kremlin,indicted co-conspirators,shady lawyers, tax evaders,fraudulent businesses, fake charities, bribes and porn stars...there’s no there there!!
Heard the word “tragedy” 100 times already about the school shooting - not really, by the classical definition: tragedy is fated and inevitable. This isn’t inevitable. This is America.
What does it say when the president is allowed in public with toilet paper on his shoe? He has no friends. None. No one will tell him “you have snot on your face”. That’s next.
Trump knows that when you turn up the fear mongering, his base votes. Unfortunately, when you turn it up a lot, they also start shooting and bombing. But hey, small price to pay when you got an election to win, right?
Watching Trump sell his tax plan - 'I don't benefit, believe me' - I know I'm not supposed to call Trump fans stupid, but if you believe the lies of the world's most obvious, inveterate liar...what word should I use?
How bad does this atmosphere we're living in have to get before the people who say cancel culture is overblown admit that it is in fact an insanity that is swallowing up the world?

Really? The coffee guy wants to be president? Just because you had one profitable insight - people will overpay for coffee - doesn't mean you can run the world. Govt is a different animal, can we please get a pro in there?

Real Time is coming back, unfortunately, sans writers or writing. It has been five months, and it is time to bring people back to work. The writers have important issues that I sympathize with, and hope they are addressed to their satisfaction, but they are not the only people…
I know becuz of my late hours, and living in Cali, many of you are just starting your day, but as I head to bed on MY Tuesday night, its a nicer feeling than I've had in a long time. A good day, finally, for the rule of law, and my heroes, the DeepState!
All this talk from Trump and his people about how they can't do anything about the border policy because, "the law's the law, our hands are tied" - where was that when they were sabotaging Obamacare? That's also the law.
Been saying "slow moving coup" "treason" "traitor" since before Election '16, and always guests said I was alarmist, overstating, etc. Well, after we learned this week FBI was looking into

dude - without every saying a word or even being seen he's able to say so much. Today was badass. You are a VERY special prosecutor.
Is there anything more unseemly than Trump constantly attacking a dead war hero? He did it again today, always denigrating John McCain - and McCain's widow, Lindsay Graham, says nothing!
When the college kids start throwing up all over Mexico on Spring Break, you know the Mexicans are thinking, "Yeah, you're not sending us YOUR best either"
Cohen said today in answer to why he's doing this, because he worries even if Trump loses, he will not leave office - which is what I've been saying from the beginning, to a chorus of "Oh, no, you're paranoid". Maybe not so much.
I'm all for bringing civility back, but not as a unilateral concession: Trump and his ilk need to first stop threatening to "lock up" political opponents, journalists, etc. That's way worse than not getting seated! Stop doing that, we'll talk restaurants.
Remember after the '08 crash, banks had to do a "stress test" to see if they could withstand big losses? Trump is kind of our "stress test" for democracy - to see if our institutions, laws, norms and basic decency can hold. Don't fuck it up, folks - please vote!
Special night for me tonight, and I mostly want to thank all the viewers who've been with me from the beginning, and all those who came along the way. (Some of you weren't born at the beginning...oy.) I consider ours a sacred bond between lovers of free speech.

: Everything that wall represents – the bigotry, the racism, the ignorance, the paranoia is already in your heart. The wall has been inside you the whole time.
This was a tough week, and I just need to vent a little more about finding out that abuse of power isn't a thing now. That the president is a crime wave in human form and the Republicans said "And your point is what?" That a criminal act isn't impeachable if it happens...
Trump sold himself to this country as a business genius. Turns out he's a reverse billionaire. Elizabeth Warren should start calling him

I know Anonymous is a big hero today, but for the record I don't see poisoning the planet and cutting taxes for the wealthiest as "bright spots" that "put country first."
This week was the 80th anniversary of Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" broadcast that made panicky, gullible people believe an "invasion" was under way - thank god something like that couldn't happen today!
Now Trump is saying - after all this time! - that Lester Holt "fudged" the tape where he confesses why he fired Comey?? Really Trump people?
#ThatsYourGuy

Trump lives in this opposite world. He puts criminals in charge of the Justice Department. Facts are lies. He’s awake when he should be asleep. He talks out of his ass, but shit comes out of his mouth.
The presidency has really opened our eyes as to who Trump is - I always thought he was an egomaniac, a blowhard, etc but now we see he was always a thug, a cheap crook, a hood. And his fans love him more...
I thought, maybe if Trump could hear what a eulogy for him would sound like, maybe that would give him some insight into himself – so I prepared a modest example for him.

since before the election - but its moving faster now. Dems say "We have to be FOR something" - how about Democracy? The Saturday Night Massacre is happening, just not on one night.
This is too much, on the night we start our new season of Real Time, Trump gives me the gift of a smoking gun, impeachable crime. Really, you shouldn't have. I mean, you shouldn't have done all the crimes you did, but at least your timing is good.
