not fooled

31. And the powers that be
Fri Sep 1, 2017, 10:12 PM
Sep 2017

don't want the peasantry disturbed by thoughts of major institutional dysfunction, or that the leader of the nation was installed. Remember when the NYT buried the news of Gore's victory because they didn't want to cast doubt on chimpy's legitimacy?

There is no doubt that the KGOPee stole the presidency and very likely congressional seats as well. When there are trillions of dollars to be looted, who thinks that the pukes would stop at election fraud to get the payoff?

But, the corporate media will not cover this whole matter in enough depth to really make a difference, e.g. pressure congress into investigating and legislating to fix the problems with our voting. Hell, the pukes are gung ho to make elections even more problematic. And, the owners of the media benefit from puke policies. They want pukes in charge.
