The both of you do your country's public domain a disservice, regardless of the relative merits of the ideas you espouse.

Homey don't think so.

But hey, you are welcome to your opinion. I believe in freedom.

As to the topic of the thread, who is the press?

Mainstream media? Those are just bought and paid for propaganda outlets.

So you sat back and watched Obama ignore and violate laws why again?

Speaking of idiots, anyone with half a brain could see that he was setting precedents for a man like Trump to come in and piss you off. And guess what idiot, there is nothing you can do about it. Checks and balances are now a joke.

And no, it's not just Obama, this has been a long slow process towards tyranny dolt.

So if McCain says that fighting the press leads to tyranny, why then was a silent all those years with Obama?

After eight years in office, what ...[text shortened]... rawik, media critic, The Baltimore Sun; James Risen, investigative reporter, The New York Times.

tired of people mopping the floor with you in debates so you go to spirituality? you're hoping for a fresh start?

just curious, what is the spiritual component of this? that lying is wrong and very bad for your soul?

Serious question, Whodey : do you think Satan is playing a role in Trump's actions? Is He steering Trump?

"long slow process towards tyranny"

It's only been a month, but yeah, it seems a lot longer than that.

You want checks and balances? Aren't you the one who was whining about the ninth circuit court upholding the decision to belay Trump's muslim ban? Seems like the checks and balances are working just fine.
