1. Don't waste your time posting Fox links

DU generally does not give Fox links clicks because we know they lie like Trump 24/7, and they are disgusting to watch for 30 seconds, never mind wasting 5+ minutes of my life watching State TV propaganda.

It's Fox logic to shout at anything President Obama did anyway. No surprise here.

8. This wasn't a Fox link - this is that liberal guy I forget his name. Kinda dry, a little boring.

Nonetheless, it is good to know that a few of these talking heads have just a teensy-weensy bit of integrity bumping around inside their corporate-funded skulls.

Like many thoughtful Americans, I have been utterly horrified at the direction this country is taking under Trump, and am daily more concerned about the hardening silo of right-wing propaganda to which everyday Americans are increasingly exposed. Sinclair Media Group, Fox, Breitbart, Info-Wars, hate-talk radio and so on. Then, from a recent OP on here, I found out that most basic cable packages don't have CNN or MSNBC. But they have Fox.

So when these little vignettes where analysts on corporate-funded propaganda networks say at least a bit of the truth - maybe enough to shake one or two or three members of their audience; cause just a little cognitive dissonance, then that is good to hear.

Because make no mistake - the very life of this republic depends on us having a record-smashing voter turnout in November, and if we have no hope in a better future, or no vision as to what that future might be (our platform and message), then we will lose and the darkness of fascism will descend on the world.

I can only assume she means breath. That is all it ever took for Obama to get them into a lather.

"November 2018 cannot get here fast enough........................vote "

I think that should be our rallying cry. With all of the frustration that leads to anger and loops between the two. It gets Democrats so mad that this jerk is in office and that party controls the House and Senate. But 45 has done absolutely nothing to "Drain the Swamp". Getting inside that voting booth will be like a miracle of the ages. I will almost be able to hear angels singing and the land will open up to see the brightest sunshine. OH, Yes...Election...Everybody vote.

7. True. But Obama wouldn't do something like that. No one w/a brain would.

If I am to believe what other experts say. I don't fully understand tariffs and global trade. It's complicated. Which is a hint that Trump doesn't understand it, either.

9. I can only wade through the long winded bias confirmation mire of Pakman occasionally

Often, Pakman's videos could do well to simply present the Fox or RW crazy clips up front and utilize some concise brevity on their commentaries.
Jon Stewart, God do I miss him! He could convey the obvious objective conclusion with one astonished look and a couple sharp jibes after some asinine Fox clip what Pakman drags out ad nauseum.
