Looking back at the media's rolling over for Drumpt, and how it continues to do so,

Last edited Sun Nov 26, 2017, 08:16 PM - Edit history (1)

especially Donnie 2 Scoops refusal to release his tax returns. That behavior was the canary in the Drumpt vile coal mine. That refusal taught Drumpt he could behave and say anything and get away with it. He's still getting away with it. You never hear anything in the media about his taxes anymore. Hopefully, Mueller can get them.

1. He constantly lies and the media (apart from a very few outlets on the left) never says he is lying.

The media counters with fluff by saying he is incorrect, just as Time did on Friday when they responded to his lie about turning down their Man of the Year designation.

2. I think it is now safe to assume that Putin has Russian assets in the US media.

He does it in Russia, and why wouldn't he do it here.
He has assets in our government.
Probably the media too.

3. Who would have ever imagined that we'd have a "president" who constantly lies?

Any previous POTUS was fact checked on every statement he made.

with Mueller agree that he already has the tax records and has had them for awhile. The moron will likely be able to pardon his own federal crimes somehow, or try to fire Mueller who is smart enough to a have a zillion back ups or the GOP congress will not impeach him...but the AG in NY can and will nail him just as the AG in Baltimore will nail Kushner. They have the documents so they are both pretty good cases for them to prosecute successfully.

He didn't have time to get to questions about tax reform. How many times does he repeat the same question about Conyers?
