What to expect from the Press on 1/20/17

Door to door gushing reportage of the Trump inaugurals, with laudatory reviews of his inauguration speech (no matter the actual content).

On 1/21/17, no matter how many millions of Americans protest, expect maybe two or three minutes on the evening news, with the couple of hundred counter protesters getting equal time.

Never, never did I ever think I would see millions in the US turn into complicit stooges.

started to enrich the MIC. One ripe for the picking would likely be NK. Then, they have Iran to deal with, and who knows what will happen with the China/Taiwan situation, Taiwan Strait, etc., tariff wars, etc. We have so many, sadly. clueless Americans that fall for propaganda making Joseph Goebbels proud. I've never seen the US in such a crisis situation, and sadly millions think it's great, their great leader.
