9. "Salacious gossip is not a weapon."

Firstly, I'd agree with you IF we weren't in THIS time and place in our nation's history, but SEX sells. However, it doesn't seem like the truth or flying high is much of a weapon EITHER in this climate. As for you saying that the media should stay reporting on what tRumputin/his administration is doing, well, we have a mostly corporate media who WILL chase sex and ratings. Remember when Andrea Mitchell hammered Hillary Clinton over HER emails day after day after day. Even after the election was done and dusted, she continued to hammer Hillary over those damn emails. I have to admit, I only watched Mitchell during the 2016 election time and not before or much after that, but from all I've read on line from her, she didn't, nor did many in the corporate media, go after Jarvanka's email scandal. It's sad that all the corporate media is interested in is sex, porn stars, huge breasts etc., but they're chasing sex which ratings which =$$$$. Too bad they're not hammering tRumputin over what he/his administration/CON-gress is doing TO this country. But that's the way it IS when you have a corporate media who chase sex and high ratings which = $$$$. The destroying our democracy, way of LIFE isn't sexy ENOUGH for a corporate media unfortunately.

Secondly, I applaud folks like young David Hogg who fought fire WITH fire vs Laura Ingraham. You actually had some thuglicans saying that he was thin-skinned for fighting back against her. Oh, but it's OKAY for righties and the Alex Jones types to trash liberals/Dems? Uh, no. I'm PAST ecstatic that David didn't just say to himself, "Oh my she's childish and rude," and let it go at that. I hope David stays HAMMERING her into the damn ground night and DAY calling for boycotts of her show I hope she continues to hemorrhage sponsors. She's as rotten as they COME, and deserves it. Flying high in THIS climate will get you killed. You see tRumputin & his CON-gress don't care if people lose access to health care who could possibly DIE because they don't have any. tRumputin/Con-gress are murderers, who don't care if folks lose their lives due to a lack of health care. Alan Grayson was heavily criticized by thuglicans and a few Dems in Florida for saying that, but he had it RIGHT: Republicans don't care if you have health care, nor about you dying if you lose it. Republicans attitude is die quickly if you don't have any health care. They're STILL trying to go after Obamacare to this DAY.

Finally, tRumputin is a treasonous, rotten, racist, grifting, a moral, sexually assaulting DEVIL. SO are his family members. He has swamp monsters in his cabinet who are destroying the agencies he appointed them to. A treasonous, greedy, power-hungry CON-gress/McConnell/Ryan (Whose leaving) are allowing him to get away with destroying our country/world, and he's doing that because he's being threatened by his puppet-master putin because of his indebtedness to him/oligarchs/other mobsters/criminals. Yet, there is more than enough evidence on the surface to prove that that he's guilty of obstruction of justice, collusion, possible campaign finance crimes and God knows what else he and Cohen are guilty of or what Mueller have ON him. He'll probably start something in Syria next week as Comey's book drops to draw attention away from it. We know that he's going to fire Muller. The CON-gress doesn't care and too many STILL in the corporate media CONTINUE normalizing him. I have friends who continue watching CNN, MSNBC and other "tRumputin normalizing" television shows/stations who call me and complain/whine to me about this, and that they're tired of all the "sexual stuff." I tell them to STOP watching those hosts/shows who normalize him and who keep going on and on about the "sex stuff" (I watch/listen to Rachel/Lawrence/Joy/Randi Rhodes and several others on their pod casts who don't normalize him/family/swamp monster cabinet/administration). Find alternative printed media/other news outlets/television shows that DON'T drive you insane. Stop giving "them" ratings/ad $$$$. Nope, they still watch Mitchell and the like in this mostly corporate media who continue normalize tRumputin and who obsess over SEX. SMDH @ my friends.
