Why Trump’s con can’t last forever
The Washington Post ^ | January 24, 2017 | Katrina vanden Heuvel

Posted on 01/24/2017 10:43:34 AM PST by detective

From the start of his short, truculent and unabashedly populist inaugural address, President Trump called out the Washington establishment: “For too long, a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. Washington flourished, but the people did not share in its wealth. Politicians prospered, but the jobs left, and the factories closed. The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.”

He painted a dystopian picture of the United States and promised: “This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.”

Why post this drivel? Can we post mostly good news and truth? It seems the heavy majority of posts on FR are negative, bad news, and a lot of lies from the Lying Leftist Media. Sometimes it helps to ferret out the truth of certain published lies. But the almost mindless stream of endless Leftist media’s published lies posted here on FR doesn’t serve a good purpose - it only discourages and can also confuse.

This isn’t aimed particularity at you detective but to FReepers in general.

The elitists will never admit that they were wrong. They will fight it until the bitter end because the hate what he represents. Yes, the Left can hate too — contrary to their claims of being peaceful and tolerant.

The WaPo and the “Nation” have been very long running cons.

“Why post this drivel?”

I have posted good news many times.

But we need to realize that this is what people read, hear and watch on the news every day. And many people are influenced by these lies.

This is what Americans are being told every single day.

Ooohhh, this is Vanden Huvel. I glanced at the headline, source and went to the comments to see why this was posted here at all.

But, it’s old Katrina, Chris Matthews’ crush. My gawd, they don’t get any screwier than that one. Still living off her trust fund, I take it.

WaPo is like a high school newspaper for the Washington DC metro area. Don't take it to seriously.

Since when do we want WaPo to sing praises to Mr. Trump?
