Snopes, along with several others, attempts to be complete in their research. I have about five urban legend sites that I occasionaly consult. Snopes does not always rate things as false. I have seen instances of true, mostly true, partly true ratings. What is important is objectivity and for that snopes has a very good batting record.

Are you meaning to infer that any Trump-critic material is just leftwing spew, which is envisioned to spout from mouths vomiting? How Trump fares after ascending to the throne is yet to be seen. But from the totality of his utterings in public, many do not see promise for a better life. We on the liberal, progressive wing will not be silenced. I take my values from the late, great Hubert Horatio Humphrey.

This is not to detract from all the negative articles about Trump that have some merit. I was just hoping we could avoid the complete temper tantrum that the right literally kept up for 8 years with Obama in charge.

Hmmm. Some might interpret this as an attempt at setting up some sort of false equivalency: comparing the shrill, racially and conspiratorially motivated hatred and hysterical mistrust towards Obama on the part of the right wing loons, vs the very rational and understandable concern many have across the political spectrum regarding the fact that a dangerous and unqualified and untrustworthy psychopath and neo-f*****t authoritarian somehow slipped through the normal democratic screening process, and who likely poses a real threat to the future of mankind and to the stability of our Constitutional Republic.

Respecting green's list: tack it up on the 'remember to check' board and note what t***spiresvas the days, week, months roll by. I took those subjects as things to watch. The predictions were presumed to be the natural outcomes based on Trumps many public statements.

Well, of course, you are correct, but others have called Trump a con man. Whichever the t***h, it would be folly to ignore the inside message of his utterances.
