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.

who gives a @#@$ about that nonsense.

in fact, i think it helps us like it did when they OVERLY attacked Reagan.

People dont like that ###.

I’ll tell you one thing. In my mind the movement has alreay begun and God forbid Trump doesn’t get elected, we’re gonna move forward with it anyway.

Plus Trump will sue for voter fraud until the cows come home :)

Scalia!!!!!! Why!!!!! :( could have used him so much this year.

Trump is cutting down all the tall grass and the snakes are starting to slither.

You can save yourself a lot of grief by leaving the TV off...get your information here and whereever else you find reliable sourcing. The media has no learning curve so they keep throwing the same stuff at Trump and his voters and none of it sticks...they will keep doing this I assume until the biggest landslide in history happens next November.
BTW...there is a great piece today on Conservative Treehouse/The Last Refuge by Sundance.
He talks about the MONSTER VOTE...the largest voting bloc in America that the media does not talk about and probably does not want you to know it exists ...but its 100 million strong of people whom for a variety of reasons have stopped voting...they are energized which is why Trump gets these massive numbers in his primaries and in his wins...If they remain energized going into November the carnage of main stream media and politics will be changed forever!

The Press in America is predominantly Leftist Democrats, they have been for 60 years. “Conservatives” Business men could have invested in the Media, but they are so devoid of any real ideology, other than making quick cash, that they let leftist own the means of propaganda.

Thanks for reminding me why I don’t watch any TV news channels or programs, and why every TV program I do watch is recorded so I can fast-forward through the bull$hit.

The two events are not related.

But in the liberal mind, which is a mish mash of conflated tid bits, they decided it is bigoted for Trump to eat Mexican food when he wants to deport illegals, many of whom are Mexican.

It’s liberal logic, not necessarily meant to make any sense.

Just heard a commentator on "Media Buzz" sneering that it's not called a "Taco Bowl".

I got rid of cable and the stopped watching average television about ten years ago and haven’t missed it a bit. Just ask oneself, how is it three separate networks have the same news stories everyday? Its almost like it is coordinated between the network what we should see. Statistically, the news should have some of the same stories but not most of them.

For MSNBC, those people are in flyover country and Appalachia which makes them stupid and ignorant, basically the worst of the unwashed masses and to Be derided at every opportunity.

What they don’t know is that a lot of people from here like to work to support their families and mine jobs are pretty darn good. They don’t want to be on welfare and don’t trust the government.

A side story, a friend was involved at an event where a rep from then Gov. Manchin spoke, he offered him some shine and the rep eagerly accepted it. It has been going on for generations.

Just heard a great comment on Patriot Radio: we are worrying about inane things or small things like condemnation procedures when we are a whisker away from losing the country. During WWII with the Nazi's bombing London and the Japs entrenched on Guadalcanal, we were not worried about mundane things, we were worried about losing and that is exactly what we should be focused on now.
