Yeah, and even if Trump is only comic relief, at least it helps. Lately I’ve been feeling as though the swamp is draining me.

Why can’t the media even report on it from afar, if they are afraid of being kidnapped in country or arrested on some false charge? There is no reason for it not being a top story.

Half of Breitbart is commentating on what other news media have ran with. Why can’t they just BE the news themselves?


I’ve been ranting about exactly this for YEARS.

last time I ever used to listen to Rush, it was 24/7 reading from and dissing mainstream media sources. Every damn day. It still legitimizes them. It still means you feel you are inferior to them.

In a group of cats, the Top Cat socially is the one who doesn’t give a shoot about the other cats. He knows he’s Top Cat and doesn’t care about all the fighting the other cats are doing to prove they “are” the best. He already knows he’s the best and doesn’t have to prove anything. We know they lie. Let’s stop whining and just tell the truth.

Even FR for the longest time was super respectful of mainstream media articles, dissing “blogs” or “freeper opinion pieces” as vanities. At some point you have to treat mainstream propaganda media as the scumfilled lies they are.

He gave Iran a bunch of $ and opened (in a way normalized) Iran as his final big foreign policy. The oppressive regime of Iran is being thrown off when Obama embraced them. Their own people are willing to oppose them with their lives yet Obama paid them in cash with our money. WTF? Wrong again Obama!

They aren’t pitifully small. I have seen videos on #Iranprotest showing thousands upon thousands of people in the streets in numerous cities in numerous provinces. At last count some 30 cities are having protests. These protests came from the provinces and not Tehran itself, which is surprising in itself. The real feminists are throwing aside their hijabs, marching for freedom Chants of Death to the Dictators and No to Islamic Rule are among the slogans being chanted.

It has been building across the country for three days now, growing each day.
