So Who Gives a Shit If Donald Trump is backing down

on his Bush" was President when 911 occured”?

Democrats should be all over Jeb whenever he tries to exonerate his brother from responsibility.

Every fucking time he spouts lies such as “my brother kept us safe”, the DNC and every Dem. currently holding positions in the Senate and House, plus the DNC, should push the back relentlessly ...

There are so many viable talking points, that it’s hard to know where to begin..

what's needed is for true journalists hitting this false meme hard. If the Dem pols do it, the RWNJs will just say, "Consider the source." I'm not sure they would accepted it from unbiased sources but it might give those who are not hardened in their positions a rethink.

Sometimes the best sources or international but not always. The 1st amendment protecting freedom of the press is as f**ked as the 2nd. Most "journalism" is editorial and op-ed. The former "liberal" media attempted to be unbiased but that is not the case any longer. If you are conservative and you just love a media outlet it is strongly biased and the same is true if you are liberal. True news reporting should serve everyone by not being in thrall to any viewpoint but the truth.

So sorry, I can't help you. It used to be possible to read different reports of the same news and be able to get close to the truth. Now most of this crap is just reposted by one and another. They are like feeding vultures on a dead armadillo.

back when integrity, public interest and intelligence coexisted.
or simply existed.
to see so many lemmings screaming about their cable fed reality
really makes you want to cry.
do they even know?
