Nightly news? That's something we used to watch before the Internet, isn't it? It's hard to remember that distant past.

It's like reading an obit and saying "I had no idea they were still alive. I thought they died a long time ago."

They both have nothing but contempt for us, and the feeling is mutual.
The Swamp and MSM are public enemies #1 and #2.

Good article, clickable. Nice change from the usual BeeSac, NYT, etc. tripe posted.
(Keeping in mind the b******s and GOP-e have a near monopoly on “news”.)

Yes indeed, a 28 year political supercyle.

Started with Bush senior and the “compassionate conservative” concept.

When Bill Clinton came along, we were fooled into thinking that the Repulicans were better because of Clintons treatment towards women.

However it was a 28 year uniparty on the big issues all along.

Both the media and the Washington political establishment want us to forget why Donald Trump was elected in the first place.

Yet they remind us every day!

Under Clinton, Sec. of State Albright and State Dept. lackey Wendy Sherman, the US and West allowed the NORKS to become a world menace. Many of us knew that the Champagne toasts for the Nuclear agreement co-signers was just a photo-op and that we would pay for this folly later on, (2017).

Under Obama, Sec. of State Clinton/Kerry and State Dept. lackey Wendy Sherman, the US and West allowed the Iranians to become a world menace. Many of us knew that the Champagne toasts for the Nuclear agreement co-signers was just a photo-op and that we would pay for this folly later on, (2019?).

The NORKS gave Syria and Iran nuke technology and know-how. Iran is now working on global reach and domination with Russia. We are all in peril thanks to short-sighted DemonCratic leaders.

Dear Daniel Gallington,

Apparently, you are quite unaware that the vast majority of Americans who voted for President Trump NEVER watch “the evening news”, nor do we watch “the Sunday shows” (except for comic relief). MANY of us don’t watch Fox, either.

The above information might be useful for your future writings. The first sentence in your article today invalidates anything else you have written in it.

But thanks for the comic relief.

Sincerely,

A Cord Cutter

Under the Obama administration crime was so prevalent in government and it seems like the MSM covered the Rats posteriors big time!!!

Also, the following can not be repeated enough but before the Imposter was elected he was a member of a supposedly non denominational church where the preacher was an America Hating preacher and Obama & Moochelle just stood there and said nothing & did nothing to stop the America hating church talks---imagine that!!!

Obama was such a good student at that church that he personally brought the America Hating speech every single day to the White House.

Remember that church where every other word was G.D. America!!!

I for one will never forget this church and it should not be tax exempt!!!
