MSNBC just showed a clip of Trump.

When on earth will the MSM start calling him out each and every time he lies through his teeth? It just totally pissed me off. He is trying to blame President Obama for locking up children in the cages. What good is the MSM if they are so concerned about profits that they put profits ahead of the truth.

Actually, I was more interested in local news about the earthquake off Long Island. It was only a 3.0, but usually those little ones around here make some noise.
