(24,324 posts)Yes, if we had those 3 in charge the possibilities would be endless.

(24,324 posts)How about Al Franken....
If he was the worse politician this country had we would be in great shape.
I haven't researched him enough to include him with the 3 we discussed.

The hypocrisy of the Republicans is beyond compare.

(21,056 posts)it would be sublime to watch Warren and Grayson eviscerate their silly arguments with major smackdowns worded just right that they are acceptable to say. These two are phenomenal at this.

(750 posts)One of the fundamental things the GOP is doing such as always blaming President Obamas staff or Cabinet member or in this case Clinton as the Department head reveals something special about the way the media interprets a situation and the way the American audience responds.
Benghazi is likely loaded with unknown covert activities in this case bungled by our own military via contractor/ regular perhaps intentionally for political capital against Clinton.
The real story hidden but yelling at us like a Sherlock Holmes mystery, a contemporary GOP act of perfidy. There is a tone flushed out by Grayson that we all admire, I do like Grayson very much for his courage to spear the GOP media and political people.
The media displayed a mean deceitfulness journalistic treachery not by just showing being mean but deliberately betraying public trust by such huge amounts of misinformation which first and foremost illustrates the sense of faith broken and betrayed to the public.
Across the spectrum the media fails, then many can understand why the horrible crimes in mass murder committed at home. Or, when a Lady doctor just the other day broadcasting about the evil that must be routed out in our homeland is a stand against a culture skimmed over and talked about after the next commercial. Ladies and Gentlemen of America I am beginning to believe there should be no commercial time in news telecasts for the new age of journalism. The one percenters will have a raging fit over such simple action by the citizen in democracy.
Can you imagine any of those news anchors not having to say after these messages from our sponsor. That would be an incredible change in the whole culture of news and free speech money the average citizen never will see.
