There seems to be a Trump fan at the NYT. Always a breaking story just at the time a huge story

[allgood33]

is about to break on Trump corruption and collusion.

The most urgent thing right now is to stop the shutdown so our fellow citizens can survive. Proof that income inequality is so rampant and hurtful to the majority of American citizens. The numbers are shocking that so many of us live and survive from pay check to pay check, yet all the benefits of tax breaks and tax liability seem to favor the ultra wealthy.

I am frightened for so many people in my own family and among my circle of friends. I was not aware that so many had so little saved resources. These people are not wasteful or foolish either. It's just that the cost of housing and goods and healthcare are so high they are living on a string. Many had savings from the Clinton era and gradually had to use them up for college for their children, medical care, as well as being hurt by the economic and housing crash of the 2006.

If this shutdown doesn't end soon, I fear that many will go off the deep end.

1. What story is it you think is being broken to distract from the shutdown? Are you saying the NYT

should not have broken the story about the FBI investigating trump as an agent of Russia? That somehow that story is the work of a pro-trump mole in the NYT?

Please explain.

2. if you are referring to the fbi russia story that does NOT help trump in any way

3. I think we should be able to talk about more than one

thing at a time. I'm glad the story broke, it's just one more thing against him.

The shutdown will continue to be covered.

4. Huh?? Say what??

5. No answers to the questions your post raised? Why do your posts all seem to have these weird

double edges?

Like this one that suggests that we cannot truly sympathize with those affected by the shutdown if we do not fault the NYT for publishing a bombshell about trump's collusion with Russia?

Please do answer the questions posters have raised about your OP. It might help if you clarify what you are saying.

6. Just sayin there seems to be one big story to come out about the same time as another big story

about 45. Not blaming the NYT but there is so much swirling around this administration I wish we could resolve on big issue and get headed to remove Trump.

7. Yeah. Sure. Great follow up to your "We must accept the wall" series.
