And through ALL of this bullshit, any discussion of actual issues is pretty much non existent. What are Hillary's, Bernie's, and Marty's immigration stances? How do Marco and Ted differ on deporting Mexicans? Does anyone who understands how the real world works really, truly favor rounding up 11 million people and shipping them to Mexico? On the Iran thing we know who the yays and nays are, but why? Who is funding their stances? Speaking of funding, do we know who the dark money guys are? What's Sheldon up to? The Kochs, are they still with their ponyboy Skippy Walker?
The media in this country is appalling in their dereliction of traditional duties to find and report facts and provide valid interpretation.
Sadly, here's where we are:
A reality teevee show personality with too much money is being reported upon as if there is little else important.
ALL of this is because too much of the citizenry is lazy, hateful, and intellectually dull.
Just how fucked are we?
