Even DUers fall for 'fake news'. Check yourselves.

Gee, now WHY would a Daily Beast 'reporter' or 'editor' not include a byline for such a huge story? Daily Beast was never the 'source' for this reporting. Right wing rag 'Jerusalem Post' was the source and their purpose is pure manipulation of the narrative for the current 'negotiations' pursued by Kushner and Netanyahu.

Why do some of you fall for this BS so easily? Hate to sound like a scold, but, most of you should know better by now. You know what you did here. You fell for the ploy.

John Kerry Seriously Considering Running for President Again


Source: The Daily Beast




Former Secretary of State John Kerry has said he is “seriously considering running for president in 2020,” The Jerusalem Post reported Thursday. During a London meeting with Hussein Agha, a confidant of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Kerry said he expected that President Donald Trump will be out of office “within a year,” according to the report. He also hinted to Agha that establishment and intelligence forces in the U.S. “are dissatisfied with Trump’s performance.” He continued to tell Agha to tell Abbas to “hold on and be strong,” and to “not yield to President Trump’s demands” in the peace-talk process.

Always look for the byline - if it isn't there for such a BIG story there's a reason. blm Jan 2018 #2

It's fun to hope, but I never believe until I have good reason to.

And that reason is rarely benign.
