dumpster's entire presidency (so-called) in a paragraph.
"What’s the larger context here? This is straight out of President Trump’s playbook, one that tries to convince everyone that there’s no such thing as a neutral authority on anything. If the CBO might say your bill will have problematic effects, then the answer is not to rebut its particular critique, but to attack the institution itself as fundamentally illegitimate. If the news media report things that don’t reflect well on you, then they’re “the enemy of the American People.” If polls show you with a low approval rating, then “any negative polls are fake news.” If a court issues a ruling you don’t like, then it’s a “so-called judge” who has no right to constrain you."
ya know, there's a little part of me that WANTS them to ram this piece of shit profit riddled dump-care through and become law, and then say.....30 million people or more, without insurance or unable to afford it.
and the reason is.....rage. i want the rage to go boiling over. i want the rage to be riots in the streets. i want 1968 AGAIN!!!
sorry, but it's the only way i see this gaggle of oligarchs getting kicked to the curb and sweeping changes in 2018.

That's exactly what Bannon wants. It's why he took over the campaign and is in the position he's in now. And your post means he's winning.

If you see something, say something. Especially joke subway ads.

"If you ask me, what the media needs to start doing is asking their questions; get the official Trump administration response; look it up where Trump found it on the Internet; contact those websites for their sources; then follow-up with the Trump administration once they’ve found the source and, most likely, debunked whatever nonsense Trump or someone in his administration said"
this is what i've been saying for a months, before the so-called election. the media HAS to go toe to toe with this admin.
don't just ask questions and accept their lies. prove that they're lies and then CONFRONT the admin. publicly, on camera.
treat the entire admin. as a hostile witness. just like in court.

Good Gawd. This is all getting far too scary for me. We really do have a stark raving madman in the White House. The humor and entertainment value of it is gone, replaced with the horrifying realization that this is America in 2017. This whole administration is like a compilation of comic book villains, but with real power and the ability to wreak havoc on a scale never witnessed in our history.

Not that it's any reflection on the current administration's shadow boxing match with the 'deep government' but yeah, Rosen wasn't wire tapped.
....However, if you think back just 4 years ago, this was actually a pretty big deal as the Obama administration was actively investigating journalists in an attempt to ferret out & prosecute who was leaking classified information. Rosen was named a co-conspirator in the warrant for his phone records & emails. No journalists were charged during this investigative period and it did trigger new guidelines that attempt to better clarify the balance between 1st A & national security interests

The unhinging continues... It's fun to chronicle descent into madness, as long as it's not a loved one.

Gooz...these are the asshats (asshates?) that will never accept real and accurate reporting. They want and seemingly need to believe the worst in others.
...not that you don't know this, but it relates to our earlier discussion.
