Whatabout, whatabout, whatabout.

Your statement is false anyway. See Trump "university". See his dealings with mob bosses. See his 25 sexual assault allegations. See Trump being found by the Nixon administration to be using racial discrimination on his properties.

You have no excuse for defending such an abhorrent person.
Vivify, I am sure you mean well. But you are ranting like Sonhouse, it does not become you. Now, please, that we may digest any comment that you may have on 'Failure of Honest News coverage', as explained in Post #1 above, we are all ears.

Other than my saying 'dancing on Trumps's grave', (which refers to the dancers, not Trump), the first post above makes no mention of Trump. But here you are muddying up a perfectly appropriate thread by ranting about Trump and Hillary, for God sake. Maybe it is 2 in the morning in the Pub where you are, try writing in the morning. Cool.

By attacking the Russia investigation, you're defending Trump. Don't feign ignorance.

I didn't bring up Hillary, your buddy Earl did. I didn't rant about Hillary, your conservative pal did. This is another example of conservatives failing to own up to the faults of their own kind.

I already addressed your OP. Every point you made has been refuted many times on this forum.

Get some sleep Vivify. This post is about a very specific question, specific indeed. James Bond could be president, it does not change the question. If he were president, why does the news not report the facts of the Coup attempt, the so called Russia Hoax? A simple question. Simple. Answering it simply may be the way to get through this. Why doesn't ABC or NBC every say how horrible it is that this went on, and they want people punished? You can do this.

Why do you want the news media to lie?

The Inspector General found the probe into connections between members of the Trump campaign and Russia justified and "did not find “documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced” the decision to open up the investigation known as Crossfire Hurricane." https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelsandler/2019/12/09/report-finds-russia-probe-was-justified-but-found-errors-in-wiretap-application/#3f928502687e

The 434-page report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded that the FBI and the Justice Department launched their investigation into the 2016 campaign not for political reasons, but because of evidence the Russian government was using cutouts to reach out to the Trump campaign as part of its efforts to influence the election.

Vivify, what I am saying is, Trump had no record of screwing America while being a public servant.
Hilary didn't know any other way to exist from Senator to Secretary of State.

Trump opened up Mar-a-Lago and made it the only club in the area (maybe state of Florida?) that opened up to Jews and African Americans.

And like I said, if Trump does nothing more than *exist* as POTUS to veto the Green New Deal,
He's worth ten times his weight in gold. And you'll never shake me because the lives of
330 million people depend on it.

Hoax. Coup. We're more than tired of this particular Republican fairy tale.

It's about justice. Justice for this disgusting con man, who has lied and spun his way into the highest office in the land. He is directly responsible for a death toll exceeding 200,000, and rising. He has broken numerous laws, but he considers himself above the law. Just like he avoided military service, he will avoid his proper due, a prison sentence.

1) He's not a public servant. He serves no public. He serves himself. He's a self-servant.

2) The day he took office, he increased the cost of a membership in the golf club at Mar-a-Lago from $100,000 to $200,000.

3) And the lives of every one of the 7.7 billion people on this planet is at risk from global warming. And he refuses to do ANYthing about it.

Why can you libs not stick to the subject. Most curious. You see, it is not about Trump. Please re-read the first paragraph, the news media never points up the russia hoax. I was asked what news I look at. Which ones do you look at? Do you know what has been discovered? And the Durhan report is not even out yet. This is frankly very telling, you cannot answer any post in the universe without mentioning Trump. Think about it. Very entertaining, at least. I'm not mad, just doing my job.

There are , ahem, certain people here that I can answer while playing with grandchildren, as you can see. I will give your response a little more time, altho I am disappointed you bailed on the previous post where you moved the goalpost, in re med care for all, and then said what about the children, which I said fine, let us take care of the children. Which was it? I just dont get liberals, such as you. Do you think you might be able to answer the the first posted post way above, the other kids have lost their way. Trump Trump Trump. It was not a query about Trump. Would you explain that to them?

You started the thread claiming the investigation into contacts between the Trump campaign and Russians was a "hoax". Now you don't want to talk about that subject for some strange reason.

The discussion about health care was in another thread and was a waste of time as you simply don't have any coherent, consistent philosophy.

EDIT: AJ: why does the news not report the facts of the Coup attempt, the so called Russia Hoax?

I answered this; because they don't feel like lying to try to help get Trump re-elected even if you and other right wingers have no problem doing so.


@averagejoe1 said
The press corps from the beginning does not tell the truth of the Russian collusion. Even with all the evidence, when the FBI lawyers admit to falsifying evidence, the FISA court declares lying to have existed, the press minimizes it like it ever happened. They have embraced rioters, populists, arsonists, letting criminals out of jail, the burning down of American busi ...[text shortened]... e no one here that finds this despicable, unamerican, biased, all of the seedy journalism? Anyone?
Unamerican?

You really live in a bubble, don’t you?


@averagejoe1 said
Of course Breitbart News is prob the most factual, and Mark Levin and Andrew Wilkow on Sirius are dynamite. Then FOX Business really on it as well, all facts, all true. Now, I have truly tried to listen to MSNBC as being the most lib TV channel, and it is just too much, I cannot keep listening after 10 minuets. Because, they maudle and get real personal and just say s ...[text shortened]... hey are about. They hate Trump more than you do. Emotion city..Maybe not as much as Sonhouse does.
Hahahahaha

Breitbart and Fox.

🙄

You do realise that with this statement you’ve alienated 96% of the world’s population. Anyone who is not a republican American reading this post of yours is going to think you’ve suffered brain injury or something.
Again, except for US republicans, nobody is going to take anything you say seriously ever again.

It’s like you were drowning in a hole and with this one statement you’ve poured a bucket of petrol over yourself, set it alight and told us you were going to sprout wings, cook lasagna and boooficle your hrettili whilst flip-flopping Swan Lake to safety.


@dood111 said
The US media has been filled with anti-American anti-white toxic garbage for 30+ years, along with a poisonous education system that teaches children that their country is evil and racist.
No other country in the world has ever allowed an education system to teach their children to hate the nation they grow up in, but we have allowed it and now we are seeing the results of the brainwashing they have been subjected to,
Yes they do teach their children the truth and the truth is the modern US and UK economies were built on the bones of slaves. That’s just a fact and it shouldn’t make you hate your country, it should cause you to strive for a future unrecognisable to your past.

Of course I do not understand what you are saying. You fellers might find Breitbart to be the best, (Sirius) which is on the Patriot channel, 125. Wilkow is on 12 to 3, call in show, he is actually always right, and he defeats the argument of every liberal who calls in. That is just a fact, and please note that I do not crumble into a hovel of emotion in these discussions. I actually listened to Rachel Maddow one time, quite a creature, but I did, so that I can speak with some sort of knowledge of liberal slant. So, I hope you will shakily put your finger on the Patriot dial!!!! Not so crazy about FOX, esp since Chris Wallace Interviewer has tarnished their reputation a good bit. What a cave-in he was. I bet Trump will surely let Biden talk this time, that is where Trump blew it.

Contrare’ I started the first thread with a simple title. A query as to why the liberal media never says a WORD about the gang of senators, congressmen, we’ll-placed citizens, et al created an atmosphere to make it look like Russia was involved in the election. It was not a query about Trump, James Bond could have been the candidate/winner. You boys are obsessed/eat up with Donald Trump. Try to answer the question so that I can answer back. Again, there is nothing for me to answer back on regarding the coup Shirley that must make sense to you .
