Here is a way to combat what the MSM doesn't say

I go around Youtube, Facebook and Twitter and post one of these at the top of a thread. When I checked on a few Youtube ones they were still at the top. It is true that some people don't want to hear the truth about Trump but not all. On Facebook I just put some things up on Sean Hannity's page and Fox news page and a couple others yesterday. I put some up on my page but I don't want to get too carried away since my family is there blah blah blah. Oh Youtube I look for titles like "This speach will give Trump the election!" smh

So here are a few that I use:

Salman Rushdie

So, to recap. Trump will go on trial in November accused of racketeering, and again in December accused of child rape. He is a sexual predator, hasn't released his tax returns, and has used his foundation's money to pay his legal fees. He has abused the family of a war hero and... oh, but let's talk about some emails Hillary didn't send from someone else's computer, that weren't a crime anyway, because that's how to choose a president. Come on, America. Focus.

Donald Trump’s Business Plan Left a Trail of Unpaid Bills

Jack O’Donnell, president of Mr. Trump’s Plaza casino in Atlantic City in the late 1980s. “Part of how he did business as a philosophy was to negotiate the best price he could. And then when it came time to pay the bills,” he said, Mr. Trump would say that “ ‘I’m going to pay you but I’m going to pay you 75% of what we agreed to.’ ”

USA Today also reported, citing data from the Department of Labor, that two of Trump's now-defunct businesses were cited 24 times beginning in 2005 for failing to pay overtime or minimum wage.
200 liens have been filed against Trump or his businesses by contractors and employees dating back to the 1980s
Trump told USA Today that he only withheld payment from contractors if he wasn't pleased with their work.
The USA Today report cited one case involving a 1990 project at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, during which New Jersey regulators found that Trump had failed to pay at least 253 subcontractors in full or on time.

TRUMP'S FINANCING OF PROJECT VERITAS
Trump neglected, however, to mention his own connection to the videos, released by James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas tax-exempt group. According to a list of charitable donations made by Trump‘s controversial foundation (provided to the Washington Post in April by Trump’s campaign), on May 13, 2015, it gave $10,000 to Project Veritas.

Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice

research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice, Hodson wrote in an email to LiveScience.
