The media in this country is very dangerous
They spend weeks calling Obama presumptuous and arrogant. And then you hear John McCain today giving a speech like he's the President. Giving orders to one of the most powerful countries in the world. I was surprised by how arrogant and full of himself he was today. And you hear the media patting him on the back.

Can you imagine, if Obama said something like "Russia should immediately and unconditionally cease its military operations"

I mean who the hell is John McCain to tell Russia they should "unconditionally" do anything?

2. I had the same thought when I saw McCain's speech.
He's getting pretty presumptuous and uppity.

6. Brain numbing and spine chilling wasn't it? I saw it live and
fricking panicked like hell.

He's a piece of shit that the thugs and Ministry of Propaganda contain, prop-up and spit shine to give him the look of integrity and legitimacy. Some people will even believe him.

Scare-E.

12. Poisonous
The media in this country is very POISONOUS. That's the word. And "insidious." And coup-enabling. And ruling class.
