Lord help us.
Does anyone recall, ever...when news organizations cut into a president's speech to simultaneously fact check the torrent of lies?
CNN didn't even bother covering it or cut away fast.
LOL!

(11,204 posts)Because he hates them and they want to be loved by their manipulator. He owns them, they don't have to give us a repeat of his vulgarity and lies. Everything is Donald Trump said, all fucking day. Do some investigation, say prove it once in a while . All trump does is talk at us and talk at us without question. I am sick of the lectures from this dope President. Even corrected ones.

(17,778 posts)who usually vote Repthuglican, but are afraid to vote in person with Covid-19 and now don't trust vote by mail because Donnie keeps bad mouthing it. How that works, I'm not quite sure. I can detect no overall strategy, probably because Donnie doesn't have one. He's just slinging shit and seeing what sticks. This may go down as the worst run presidential campaign in history. Certainly by a sitting President.

Unless Joe and Kamala decide to prosecute these criminals, we're going to see a more serious repeat one day.

(17,778 posts)I'm all for investigations and prosecutions, from Donnie and spawn down the Lindsey Graham, Ron Johnson, Tom Cotton, Gym Jordan, Devin "cowboy" Nunes and the whole lot. It will get ugly, with screams of partisanship, but THEY are the ones who politicized the Justice Department, not us. If they're innocent, let a court decide.

(52 posts)The MSM wanted Trump in office cause they thought it would equal bigger ratings. They are just as fault for him being "elected". Fuck them.
