I think a lot of people (including the media) cannot face how bad Trump is- bettyellen May 2017 #185
Regarding Sanders statement, we simply disagree then. Regarding the media, yes there is an JCanete May 2017 #187
I don't think it's fake as much as it is a distraction from what congress is doing.... bettyellen May 2017 #188
sorry to belabor, but again, why is lying not fake? "Technically not lying" is still lying if JCanete May 2017 #189
