Let's talk about the media, and what journalism should be in a free society (Page 25/38) olejoedad JUN 04, 01:37 PM One would think that a trial where the star witness spent time in prison for perjury would raise some doubts as to the outcome of the proceedings. The star witness even confessed to stealing money from the Trump organization. Only in a liberal progressive stronghold like NYC would this not raise questions....

The star witness even confessed to stealing money from the Trump organization. This happens all the time. Crooks work with other crooks. So the crooks are the ones who testify against the other crooks. Trump could not find any Sunday School teachers to help him with his criminal activity. That is why the prosecution put on other witnesses to substantiate the credibility. The checks were written. The money was paid. All for the benefit of Trump. quote Originally posted by olejoedad: Only in a liberal progressive stronghold like NYC would this not raise questions.... Are you serious. Conservative Republicans elected Donal Trump as President AFTER ...Courts shut down his charity as a fraud and he paid millions in damages ...Courts shut down his "academy" as a fraud and he paid millions in damages. ...Trump paid $750K to settle anti-trust lawsuite brought by DOJ. ...Trump paid $250K in fines to settle charges brought by New York State Lobbying Commission Only in a brainwashed GOP would this type of behavior not raise a question. Lots of politicians have a group of people who follow them like blind sheep, but Trump is the only one I know who actually brags in front of them about how brainwashed they are.. . "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK? It's, like, incredible." olejoedad JUN 05, 12:17 PM I'm beginning to think that lnstead of teaching history, you're sitting at the back of the classroom hiding from the teacher. Trump was elected to his first term for a number of reasons, including the corruption of his opponent. He failed to be reelected due to the infowar conducted by the liberal media and Democratic Party obstruction. Who that is entrenched in DC would want an outsider to come in and upset their feedwagon?

Is this supposed to be a joke? The largest media outlet in the nation supported Trump. quote Originally posted by olejoedad: Who that is entrenched in DC would want an outsider to come in and upset their feedwagon? Trump never upset any "insider feedwagon". Everyone around him in his administration was an "insider". Mostly lobbbyist that had been in DC for many years. https://www.propublica.org/...shington-dc-insiders -At least 187 Trump political appointees have been federal lobbyists, and despite President Trump’s campaign pledge to “drain the swamp,” many are now overseeing the industries they once lobbied on behalf of. -Ethics waivers allow Trump staffers to work on subjects in which they have financial conflicts of interest. -At least 254 appointees affiliated with Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and at least 125 staffers from prominent conservative think tanks are now working in the federal government, -At least 35 Trump political appointees worked for or consulted with groups affiliated with the the billionaire libertarian brothers Charles and David Koch, - At least 25 Trump appointees came from the influential Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank founded in 1973, and at least two came from Heritage Action, its related political nonprofit. -Leonard Wolfson, who was lobbying on behalf of the Mortgage Bankers Association on Capitol Hill one week before getting paid $64 per hour as an expert at the Department of Housing and Urban Development the next week. Senate records show Wolfson was actively lobbying on banking legislation and regulatory issues in April and May. By mid-May, Wolfson had taken a relatively rare position as an outside “expert” at HUD while he was still employed at the 2,200-member lobbying group. williegoat JUN 05, 01:02 PM The first time I voted for Trump, it was because he wasn’t Hillary. The second time I voted for Trump, it was because of what he did after the first time I voted for him. This time, I will vote for Trump because of the people who made him an outlaw. olejoedad JUN 05, 01:36 PM I've revised my seating assessment willie. I think BingB is either in the hallway or possibly detention.
