One of the biggest points of the whole deal. Nobody votes for communism if their agenda is out there for all to see. Now a lot of it is and the demonicrats are shedding votes like a sheep dog in the spring. They’re going to have to cheat twice as hard to make up for that.

Other than that a few sacrificial lambs that were led to slaughter via resignations or firings, not much else. We’ll have to wait to find out if a substantial price is to be paid.

Which is why they are importing millions of new voters from central America.

They love the word “Oligarch”....which is nothing more than a wealthy Russian Businessman.

“this was craven Hillary’s doing. The buzz was she tried to get electors to change their votes.”

So where are the indictments? Threatening Federal officials is a serious crime. And yet not one single word of any attempt to locate the perpetrators at all.

Sessions was worse than useless.

If there ever were a case for treason/sedition...this would be it.

I pray those responsible will soon be wearing orange jump suits.

The collusion lie wasn’t even the biggest one this century.

The Hillary-inevitable lie was bigger and around longer and repeated at least as much.

The Obama-Messiah myth lasted a full 8 years, covering up all his malfeasance all the time.

Before that we had the housing bubble, another media-fueled lie that led tens of millions to believe they could not lose money by pouring it into housing, and to be ruined by finding out that yes in fact they could.

Before that were the lies that got us into Iraq.

Before that were the lies to cover up for the Clintons.

etc. etc.

Corporate news media is one nonstop Big Lie factory and always has been.

I am strongly reminded of a book by Joel C Rosenberg and printed in 2005, specifically, “The Ezekiel Option”. It is like Obummer and his handlers and Dems and especially the Clintons and Soros have taken parts of this book and made it theirs.

All That Is know this: None of this is real and lives only in our heads. For surely as night follows day, we can’t all be insane, can we?

Lord, save us from this Insanity.

Once DJT successfully assumed office there was no danger left of a successful coup short of assassination and Trump’s savvy and his own protection team rendered that pretty remote a possibility.

Not all of us. It was pretty clear what Sessions was made of as soon as he recused himself.

I think you're right.

Trump prevails.

He prevailed over the contesters in the Republican Primaries, inlucluding Jeb and his $100,000,000 warchest; over Hillary in a rigged election; over the cabal that attempted a coup d'état, et al.

Few people read, let alone study the history books, and the better history books recognize that popular press is an unreliable source of fact.

Imagine a history of the Soviet Union, based on Pravda. We have the same situation, just more outlets to give an illusion of independent media.

Precisely. The situation of printers in the Founding Era, which the First Amendment was crafted to preserve, was that each was free to express his own political agenda independent of the government (subject to libel and pornography laws), and independent of each other.

IMHO the wire services in general, and the AP in particular, create continual virtual meetings of all major newspapers - with precisely the effect (“People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices”) that Adam Smith would have predicted.

The "conspiracy against the public” which results from that “meeting” is the massive propaganda campaign promoting the fatuous conceit that journalist are objective - and the system of going along and getting along ideologically, on pain of having your journalism career “pecked to death” by charges of being “not a journalist, not objective.” Since journalism is the business of promoting bad news, journalism is hyper criticism of society, and critical of government for not being omnipotent and omnipresent. Thus, a party which promotes big government naturally joins itself at the hip to monopoly journalism.

The result - ideological homogeneity promoting government and condemning freedom in society - is precisely the same under the auspices of monopoly journalism as it would be under a regime of censorship by government.

I see two avenues for SCOTUS to ameliorate this situation. First, SCOTUS must find that wire service journalism is monopoly journalism - and abolish the wire services. That sound like heresy to anyone who thinks that the wire services are necessary to distribute the news quickly and widely - but the only rationale for allowing wire services to homogenize journalism is the cost of telegraphy bandwidth. When the wire services were created, that was a convincing rationale. In the Internet Age, OTOH . . .

Second, SCOTUS must find that monopoly journalism moots the arguments in favor of its 1964 New York Times v. Sullivan decision basically banning lawsuits by government officials for libel. The conservative majority on SCOTUS knows perfectly well that Sullivan - a case brought by a Southern Democrat against a single media outlet - is anomalous. In the real world, modern Democrats don’t get libeled - and Republicans, all to routinely, do. The effect of banning libel suits by government officials is, consequently, that Democrats are entitled not only to their own opinions but also to their own facts.

I was speaking to the point in time when he was in the nomination process. I think we all knew what the what-up was as soon as he was in office and recused himself.
