197. LOL, the only "decline" is the refusal to accept false narratives

Sun Oct 7, 2018, 11:44 AM

Oct 2018

and the refusal to be force-fed false universes. Reality only. Reality about how the system really works, and it’s about time. Yours is the ultimate straw man, as current news and discoveries show clearly who were supported to tear Hillary down and there is no forgetting the lessons of 2016 where this constant smearing of my party and our candidate was done to turn voters against her and Democrats.

Sarandon gets the treatment she deserves. She doesn’t get to swoon over some dreamy “Revolution” without being forced back to the reality that her lies about Hillary along with the other blatant lies about Hillary turned voters away from her. Time for reckoning, No more coddling lies and pretending they are true statements that we need to nurture so not to hurt feelings. Sarandon has hurt MILLIONS and she needs to see what her words got her.
