Dear Media, stop all the both sides are responsible for the shutdown. Individual 1

is responsible and you know it. He can end it and then continue negotiations for things needed for the border with dialogue in conferences. Speaker Pelosi cannot do the same. Media, you can get your ratings another way and appear legitimate at the same time. TELL THE TRUTH!

There would be no emergency if Democrats were in office, which they should be and would be if it weren't for GOP/Russian election interference...

If McConnell wanted to get 22 Republican votes to override Trump I'll bet he could. Congress is supposed to be a co-equal entity to balance the Presidency but Republicans prefer to act as Trump's servants.

and stop goading Democrats about "giving in" on wall funding. The public doesn't want it, it's idiotic, and there's no way it's going to happen legally or logistically even if the Democrats cave and agree to fund it. It's nothing but a ridiculous boondoggle and should be treated as such.

1.
open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values.
"they have more liberal views toward marriage and divorce than some people"
2.
(of education) concerned mainly with broadening a person's general knowledge and experience, rather than with technical or professional training.
synonyms: wide-ranging, broad-based, general, humanistic
"the provision of liberal adult education"


They were right. In order to be a journalist you will usually be educated, worldly, etc. You will NOT be xenophobic or conservative, BY DEFINITION you wont be those things.

So, when the mature, educated journalist reports on something, his education and intellect and knowledge is likely to come through.

The media then decided that to report on the right they had to tilt the playing field, the left has to have 100 reasons to do something, the right only needs 3. When discussing an issue the right gets 4 reps and the left gets 1. It goes on and on.

I could expand on this and how it is even worse now.
