We've Accepted A "De-facto Dictator" and think a slap stick pun is enough to deter it.

We can't even enact the Laws in this Country and Our Own Congress has Caved In. When we allow a man to sit in the highest office and denigrate every aspect of the governance, and attack the system of laws and law enforcement... because we allowed him to become De-facto Dictator.

The news media see's the spins as a commercial advertisement pay day and the commentators there to get a pay check and push the spin, to push drama and seek noteriety, and in the past day, the heavy promotion of "Ideas of Trump Firing Muller" is as Wreck-less as the Media Display that led to Trump becoming President.

There is no more Reporting of "NEWS"... only "Drama Selling Spins"....

I watched hours of MSNBC yesterday. Show after show framed everything in favor of Trump. For every 59 minutes of breathless drama about whether Trump will fire Mueller there was 1 minute of brief commentary on how illegal it is.

They don't care. They want ratings from the drama.

They know for them it is a RATING PAY DAY if he does... These are the same Media People who still have not figured out the mess and madness they did that led to Trump being Elected.

Not the ones we want to see, of course. It’s what happens when you spend over a decade getting your ass kicked in elections from coast to coast.

There is some brilliant journalism going on. For the most part, that is separate from the 24 hr cable shows. They are desperate for eyes and journalism is secondary.

Trump has the mindset of a dictator. Would love to have the power of a dictator. But what he really has are numbers and a personality that has taken over his party and the country.
