    This shit is getting out of control. There has always been fake news and tabloid bullshit, and it’s obvious CNN and MSNBC have a hard on for Trump and have basically become Fox News for the other side. So much hate and disdain for the other side that they are willing to toss aside journalistic integrity for a gotcha story. Fox was the king of that shit and it seems like this what’s happening.

    On the other hand, that term has completely muddied the water because anything anyone disagrees with they can just say fake news. That’s dangerous. I honestly do not see a scenario where the future on earth contains nations. This whole globalization thing is scary to me. It almost seems like Star Trek was a look into the future.

    Globalization is good as long as we control the globe. I made that up but George Patton or Douglas MacArthur or even John Wayne could have said it. Or Putin or any of the cadre of the mega rich and powerful who seek the new world order. Look at the power to know everything about everybody that just Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Page have. People like George Soros and Michael Bloomberg are at the forefront of the effort to disarm the populace. The forst thing Hitler did upon gaining power was to disarm the German citizens.

    None of the news disseminators give us the true story. They tell us what they want us to hear. Scary isn't it?

    Well that’s pretty much what happens when like 90 percent of the world’s news media outlets are owned by 6 corporations. They control the news. Geobbels would be proud. And so would Churchill for that matter. Didn’t he say history will be kind to me because I’m the one writing it?

    Scarier that more citizens don't get that or become more demanding of the truth.
    It's an interesting juxtaposition. In almost all things America today, we are constantly compared to, compare ourselves to, Europe. And yet it is by and large, Europe who has failed to recognize the importance of what we find so dear....freedom.

    The story about President Trump trying to fire Mueller but his attorney wouldn’t do it and threatened to quit, so Trump backed off. He just says fake news.

    Because it was part of a conversation of looking at different scenarios apparently of which that was one. They told him its not possible so he moved on from it. He cant fire Mueller even if he wanted to. McCabe has to do it.

    It was discussed, but apparently not in the context that the media presented it
