I say ‘we’ collectively.

Remember these ‘kids’ etal in the middle of this are ‘OUR’ kids and grandkids....

Yes, it is the propaganda system that needs shutting down, but if we succeed, ‘they’ will say we are stymieing the free press.

Like ‘we’ used to say, once you got them by the ‘balls’, the heart and mind soon follow.

We don't so much need to shut them down as we need to get access to their trillion dollar broadcasting infrastructure.

Once we can get unimpeded access to the broadcasting system, our ability to get news stories past the media censors will pretty much wreck their ability to drive propaganda.

The only reason they have been "winning" is because the public can only hear their side of the discussion. Once the public is able to hear our side as well, it will be a lot harder for the media to sell us crapweasles like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

I was never a fan of PDT and his tweets....

However, he is getting his message out and maybe some of the more absurd comments are done so the MSM will be ‘forced’ to comment and when they do, it gives him a platform to speak on the subject.

I notice on a few occasions when ‘they’ try to belittle him, he jumps back and nails them.

The one that really stands out is about the wiretapping..I laugh at that but when they called him ‘out of touch’and ‘stupid’ he was able to get his point out.

Hell, I still call it an ‘ice box’ and PDTs use of wire tapping got EVERYONES attention...

Like the comment from yesterday, PDT has been ‘fighting’ the mob and New York City for years when it comes to construction and contracting, so he is no novice when it comes to defending himself...

People in Washington are upset because they are used to the term ‘strongly disagreed’ rather than ‘I whipped his ass good’.

I very much agree here. Donald Trump caused this issue to be discussed because the media fell all over themselves trying to show that he was a moron.

As it turned out, he was correct. The Obama administration had engaged in an unprecedented level of spying on citizens in an effort to manipulate the elections, and when the media kept running with that "The Russians stole the election!" nonsense, it was possible to note that their information to support this claim came from government sources who mysteriously had transcripts of phone conversations involving citizens.

It made it obvious that someone was spying on Trump's associates, because how else did they get the transcripts?

Yes, Trump flipped the script on them with the "Wiretapping" tweets. He's also gotten at them a few times with other of his tweets.

He's a smart man, and the media people keep underestimating him.

I've pointed this out to others before, but they didn't seem to grasp the significance of it.

“I’m just me.” Bradley has no idea who “me” is.

Because to a real warrior, no matter how long ago the battle was, the sights, and sounds, and of friends lost, always hurt.
