What in the hell is going on?

What in the hell is going on in this country with the politics?

I just channel flipped across Fox, MSNBC, and CNN (9:30 am Mountain time).

Fox had a panel blasting Trump for tweeting himself eating a taco bowl when he wants to deport all the illegals. Gee if I remember we still ate sauerkraut during WWII. And then one of the panel said there is no such thing as a taco bowl. I guess here in New Mexico I have to stop eating taco bowls because they do not exist.

Then the panel on MSNBC wanted to know what the big deal was with a couple hundred white guys losing their job in West Virginia. These miners are a miniscule number compared to the rest of the country so who cares.

And lastly CNN panel was asking how Trump could be the nominee when he only got 38% of the votes in the primaries. Stop and think if 38% of the Republican votes are more than any Republican candidate has gotten in the primaries during the last 30 years, look at all those 62% that did not vote for him. That means that probably there were millions of Republicans who must have voted several times in these primaries.

“One of the best things you can do in your life is to never, ever, tune to ANY news channel or program ever again.”

Amen. It just can’t end well.

“The goal is NOT to inform or educate, but to get you to stick around through the break.”

I think that the economic incentive is way down the list of priorities for the employees of news shows.

Destroying America will always be at the top of that list. If you set yourself to observe, you should have no problem identifying instance after instance in which economics take a back seat to “the cause.”

In support of that, look at what a poster said earlier in this thread: the market is wide-open for a conservative news source. How much money would such a news outlet make? And yet those billions of dollars lie in the dirt unclaimed.

Why? Why does no one pick up that money? Isn’t it because “the cause” is more important?

Just part of the organized offensive against Trump, straight White males, and what is left of the Republic. It’s going to be a “Long Hot Summer.” Be ready for it.

I just laid in eight pounds of unpopped popcorn from Costco. Bring it on. Go Trump!!!

About as valid a “holiday” as kwhaaaaaanza. Just more beer sales.

No, just much more tequila sales. And the largest celebration of Cinco de Mayo is in Denver.

The media work for the Globalists who rule us. They are all the enemies of us, the People. They have to desperately control the arguments and keep fooling as many people as they can. Some of us have seen behind the Curtain.

Stoking at takeoff must be a bitch.

And pity the fireman during the flight.

...Oh and taco bowls exist, obviously, but they aren’t Mexican. Neither are chimichangas. Or nachos. ...

And tortillas are not Mexican. When the French invaded Mexico the locals used large leaves as "napkins" to hold things like burrito and taco mixes. The French brought in the crepe pancake and the locals jumped on that as a way to still have their type of food and also eat the "napkin". Less waste and they just called the pancake a tortilla.

I have been reading that column for the last 20 years and have even contributed to it a couple of times.

Golly, could THAT explain who obozo has done all he can to CHANGE AMERICA to just another Third World hell hole? To keep people from the OTHER hell holes from sneaking in??

Solving one "problem" by creating a WORSE ONE sounds like a hell of a plan.

And, as the date on that graphic discloses, SOME of us had that figured out before obozo's jacked up "election".

The press is talking about it because Trump is a genious and has the press eating out of the palm of his hand. Nobody has the social media skills he does.

There was an article yesterday about the "monster vote," the third of America that doesn't vote because they are disgusted with politicians. Politicians ignore these people because you can't get them interested in arcane details of policy. But Trump can reach them just fine. Many of the tweets he sends are aimed directly at these disaffected votors. In one tweet he told them:

-He is not anti-hispanic.

-He finds the accusation laughable.

-He is not an uptight politician, he has a sense of humor just like the disgruntled millions

- And finally that he is not taking the press accusation seriously so why should they.

The press got trolled, and in their willingness to trash Trump delivered his message to the vast non voting public. The non voters will get the message because they get Trump.

The market is a wide open for a motivated entrepreneur to start a true “conservative” cable channel. At the moment there isn’t one.


“Shine on you Crazy Diamond”

And they will make a boat load of money and the fully entrenched media establishment will continue to write the political narrative at a loss.

The MSM doesn’t care about declining viewership. Their advertisers don’t care either as long as they advance their desire to replace what came before them with change.

Change Sells !!

Uncertainty Sells !!
