Donald Trump isn’t the only president to have faced harsh criticisms just months into office. At this point in former President Barack Obama's tenure as the leader of the free world, right-wing news outlets were condemning Obama.......



....... for his use of Dijon mustard as a condiment. Yes, really.

In news from eight years ago that appears to be from some alternate reality, Obama left the White House and went out for a local bite to eat with vice president and BFF Joe Biden in May. The two politicians ordered hamburgers, MSNBC journalist Andrea Mitchell reported at the time, with the sitting president requesting mustard on his red meat.

The story was featured on Sean Hannity's show, Hannity's America, as a screen showed a photoshopped image of Obama surrounded by bottles of mustard with the words "PRESIDENT POUPON" plastered on a red and white banner.


Fox News has spent the last five months strongly supporting Trump's conservative agenda, defending the president against ongoing controversies enveloping his White House and accusations of collusion with the Russian Kremlin. The network has also continued to push fake news about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's health, following a televised commencement speech critical of Trump.

Compare Fox's defense of the Trump/Russia investigation to the mustard scandal its conservative TV personalities were decrying Obama’s presidency over just eight years ago. Then remind yourself that, yes, this is the new normal.

Notice that if you re-arrange the letters of "poupon" you get "UN poop." That figures coming from a Kenyan that wants one world government.

I'm thinking your bookmark list rests firmly on the certifiably insane side.

I turned the channel to Fox a couple of weeks ago just to check on what nonsense they were spewing. It was the 9 o'clock hour and I kid you not they were discussing their weekend plans and who they would want to do a biography of them.

That's award winning journalism.

that was the shows (the Five) ending segment going into Memorial weekend...

I tried watching several cnn news shows recently and the idiocy and Trump hate were off the scale.

I can see how 50% of America is brainwashed...

American Fabius you decided his information rebutting your post was insane, I simply asked to read your response.

But, fair enough you are entitled to your opinions.

However, the other day you posted an article purporting to be a factual analysis about the Kansas state income tax cut which claimed to be the model for Trump and suggested is unpopular or has been a dismal failure.

I posted a list of 10 questions challenging the factual assertions made about that tax plan.

Were all of those questions "insane"?

Why no response from you defending what you posted, just as you've refused to stand by or explain the factual misstatements in your OP #1 here?
