DEMOCRAPS GOT A SHOCKING WAKE-UP CALL ON NOV 2016

===================================================

Hunter's cowardly statement (issued by his lawyer).....
"Hunter never anticipated the barrage of false charges against both him
and his father by the President of the United States.”

TRANSLATED FROM DEMOCRAP BAFFLEGAB:

“Hell, we were told ‘anything goes.’ Nothing to worry about.

Hillary was a shoo-in and could be counted on to cover-up all the dirt.
Obama was using the intel apparat to fix the system for Hillary's win.

What could possible go wrong?”

“Thanks Hunter-- my bank statement arrived. And Michelle loved the diamond from China you sent over.”

“We are on the verge of conflict over all of this. It must stop.”

I can’t help bu think this is to distract us from something else. The Dems aren’t doing anything else it seems like and we haven’t heard a peep out of Javnaka lately. What’s going on? These people aren’t just going to let us have our country back you know.

As Lawrentiy Beria, Stalin’s chief of secret police boasted, “Show me a man and I will find you a crime.”

We are getting close to USMC intervention time and this is not good but unfortunately necessary.

“...and are going to cause the entire system to devolve into a circus.”

It already has devolved into a circus...except those are for fun and the system is not.

At root, the problem is always “the MSM.”

And at root, the problem of the MSM is the fact that journalism is about news - bad news. Bad news about society (a.k.a., “the market”) promotes the idea that “we need” more government.

It follows that journalism has an inherent socialist slant. What makes journalism “the MSM,” tho, is the fact that major journalism is a cartel. There is no ideological competition in major journalism for the simple reason that

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. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations (1776)
. . . and, via the wire services, all major journalism is in continuous virtual meeting since memory of living man runneth not to the contrary.

This would be bad enough - but it is compounded by the unanimous 1964 New York Times Co. v. Sullivan decision of the Warren Court. That decision makes it impractical for politicians to sue for libel. And, unanimous or no, IMHO Sullivan is wrong. The Sullivan decision states that the First Amendment requires that politicians be held to a strict standard of proving “actual malice” in order to be able to sue for libel. The root of the error is surprising - you’ll think I’m crazy when you read it:

The First Amendment did not create freedom of the press.
Why? How so?

Freedom of the press existed before the Constitution was adopted. And in fact the entire Bill of Rights was crafted, not to create or change rights, but to assure that the rights of the people would not be changed under the Constitution. Not only did freedom of the press exist before 1788, so did the right to sue for libel (and, FTM, laws against pornography). “The” freedom . . . of the press - as 1A refers to it - was, and therefore under 1A is, unchanged since 1788.

So if you want to decide if a libel suit can go forward, you properly do not refer to 1A but to common law prior to the adoption of the Constitution. The First Amendment is simply irrelevant. So when in 1964 the Warren Court unanimously claimed that the First Amendment changed libel law, that was flatly wrong. The other thing about Sullivan is that the facts before the court didn’t bear on the issues of the cartel nature of national wire service mediated journalism nor the fact that journalism is inherently slanted towards socialism and away from “the blessings of liberty” which the Constitution pledged to preserve.

Guillotine is needed on Capitol Hill at this point. It has to work in three shifts for a month.
