(58,724 posts)Shep Smith, Chris Wallace, and even Charles Krauthammer have actually gotten the word out to the "I only believe Fox News" crowd, that maybe there is something fishy going on with the Trump-Russia situation.
That is something.

(3,847 posts)one of the worst business 'men' in the country a few billions in free press and never ever questioned him or his staff over the obvious bullshit they served daily.
They never called him out or his mouth pieces for his violent rhetoric/hate speech during his KKKlan rallies.
They not once raked him over the coals for his horrid behavior. They never bother to point out the fact that his is a raving lunatic and so far out of his depth on every issue form day one that he was able to become more violent and overbearing during his moronic rants.
He is the worst example of the ugly American and his horrible attacks on President Obama and Sec. Clinton for 8 years paved a way for the simmering racism to skyrocket to levels not seen in 60 years.
He was not called out on a daily basis by the MSM, every single one of them and this is why we have to hear these traitors ripping the country to shreds.

(17,984 posts)Look at the tyranny of party -- at what is called party allegiance, party loyalty -- a snare invented by designing men for selfish purposes -- and which turns voters into chattles, slaves, rabbits, and all the while their masters, and they themselves are shouting rubbish about liberty, independence, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, honestly unconscious of the fantastic contradiction; and forgetting or ignoring that their fathers and the churches shouted the same blasphemies a generation earlier when they were closing their doors against the hunted slave, beating his handful of humane defenders with Bible texts and billies, and pocketing the insults and licking the shoes of his Southern master.
- "The Character of Man," inserted in autobiographical dictation 23 January 1906. Published in Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 1 (University of California Press, 2010)
In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing.

Ignorance lies not in the things you don't know, but in the things you know that ain't so.

Candidates have been telling you that if elected they would 'pull you from this bog hole of financial misery.' Now is a good chance to get even with 'em, by electing 'em, just to prove what a liar they are.

Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.

The difference between a Republican and a Democrat is the Democrat is a cannibal they have to live off each other, while the Republicans, why, they live off the Democrats.

(9,675 posts)I believe I heard yesterday that Kushner was interviewed by the FBI twice near the end of June already. There's more going on than what meets the eye.
