  • I keep watching the news, but......

    I have yet to hear anyone say “Trump Folded”

    Yet, that’s exactly what that bloviating bag of shit did.

    First mistake....

    ...watching anything that claims to be "news"

    Two camps of rhetoric spewing mindless sheep definitely...but not news.


    Shame on you.....lol

      Here is my belief:

      We need to have reporters. Reporters report facts.

      Then we have commentators: They can interpret the facts.

      Finally we have opinionists. They give their opinions on what should happen based upon the interpretation of the facts.

      So now we are all three steps removed from the facts... and a lot of people who claim to be reporting facts are in fact reporting falsehoods.

      I am not cool with this separating children from families. That is all

        It's not that hard to figure out. The information is all out there.

        Trump was separating the families to try to get his wall. Trump couldn't handle the heat and folded. These are the facts. I don't understand the "two camps rhetoric".

          I was laughing last night because CNN and Fox are one channel away from each other on my cable system so, at various times of the day, I played "let's flip back and forth and compare coverage."

          For real ... at three different times of the day when I did it:

          Fox was portraying Comey and the FBI as domestic-spying douchebags.

          CNN was portraying Trump as a family-separating douchebag.

            Red vs Blue, Republican vs a Democratic,, the politicizing of every fucking thing.

                .....where ideas and conjecture are presented under the veil of fact......the media train has really gone off the rails. Sad thing is culturally we are excepting it , growing numb to the circus.

                Nations get the leaders they deserve.

                    It think there’s a third camp: everyone else, you know, the ones not getting rich by being a politician.

                      You know it, and the statistics that support it. The huge spike in wealth and asset values for politicians before and after being in office.

                      A trend that started in the 80s.

                      And we enable it by getting caught up in the finger pointing game of blue vs red and not holding leaders accountable.

                      This topic gets me worked up so I apologize for my tone.

                        Add to all this now Sinclair Broadcasting is buying up shitloads of local stations to peddle their same BS to unsuspecting fools. When you have a TOOL running the FCC that's what happens.

                          Typical, rooting for individual success or failure rather than a solution to a problem. Wake up because what you are doing with this type of comment is perpetuating the problem instead setting the example for others to follow.

                          After all the grandstanding being done by all of the politicians, this problem will lose the media coverage and 10,000 children will still be separated from their families as you argue over who is right or wrong.on the next manufactured crisis.

                            You say both sides are wrong. So you have no position on any issues? Fence-sitting won't change anything.

                            Elected officials can be held accountable every election.

                            Here are facts:

                            There is no federal law that stipulates that children and parents be separated at the border, no matter how families entered the United States. An increase in child detainees separated from parents stemmed directly from a change in enforcement policy repeatedly announced by Sessions in April and May 2018, under which adults (with or without children) are criminally prosecuted for attempting to enter the United States
                            Obviously Trump was lying when he said he had no choice since he has changed his choice. But Trump lies so much that it wears people down correcting him.

                              Y’know pal.........FUCK YOU

                              You’re nothing but an ignorant asshole who climbs out of his hole when he thinks he can talk down to us.

                              What a fucking putz! I guarantee that the majority of us here are so better educated and ten times as informed as you.

                              Go back to your Republicans Uber Alles board with the rest of your bund.
