I turn on the TV, CNN I think

The topic is the moron's latest lies. Some mope is droning on about the moron "has the ability to control the narrative" with his bald-faced lies about how innocent he is and how Democrats are sore losers, and the implication, intentional or not, is that the moron is winning. "Americans don't like sore losers."

Do you see how that works?

We need to cut negative crap. The moron is a criminal. Impeach the bastard.

I intended to comment about how this fellow took a negative, Unindicted Co-Clnspirator's childish lying, and turned it into a positive and effectively bashed Democrats. He is sowing discord and discontent.

CNN has no monopoly on that. In fact you post here so in spite of your non-exposure to cable wankers you see plenty of that same sowing right here.

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough.

Let's stay on message and ixnay the circular firing squads.

mine is that the Breathless 24/7 Cable Infotainment masquerading as journalism is a Significant Part of the Problem.

I don't see any more or any less of that on cable and I am not surprised to see it there. We do have to deal with it.

I am surprised, and disappointed, when I see it here.

1 - Trump is bad, but we’re helpless to do anything about it!

2 - A “debate” between a Democrat and a Trump acolyte who spouts the official Drumpf talking points of the day.
