and ask Democrats to respond.
The Press always takes the GOP narrative.

The only way to be rid of him is death.

May it come for him sooner rather than later.

And I still can't imagine any other campaign where "Russia, if you're listnening ...." wouldn't have set off nationwide alarm bells.

And today my Christmas gift from twitter which they gave me on Dec. 25th expired and I am out of twitter jail and back resisting.

FYI: I was sent to twitter jail for "hate speech". They contend calling the Orange Asses supposed spouse a "two bit escort" is/was hate speech. I appealed, was denied and served my sentence. tRUMP call lie and people die but me, calling her what she is...not acceptable to @Jack.

Geeze, I hope DU doesn't consider calling her a two bit escort hate speech!


Happy New Year to all. Onwards!

The only time they should say his name is when there is an indictment.
I hope that Twitter bans him as well

But in reality, he will be calling in to Faux and Friends five times a week, with a free unlimited platform. Not to mention a large unquestioning audience.

The press will always put what is good for their ratings and bottom line ahead of what's good for the country. If this means pitting people against each other, stirring up controversy where there isn't one, or turning a non-issue into a major story, they will do it.

The days of straight news reporting and separating editorials from news are long gone.
