Politics and corruption go hand in hand,.........but, maybe moreso now than ever before! From the article it would seem the media identified
is at least managed by people with connections to the Republican
Party, but maybe you should look a little deeper! Ask yourself, “what
people own/control almost 100% of media in America”?
Clue: They are Americans but their interest and dedication is oriented
more with their people who primarily reside in the middle east!
Got it figured out? They recieve more of America’s foreign aid dollars
than any other country,...they’ve been a burden on the backs of Americans for almost 60 years!
And “little george” and those criminals in Washington are still sending them tons of money that has to be borrowed from our enemies!
if the paint sticks slng it ..is great. not knowing the truth about this administration is the reason the poll numbers arenot lower than they are
and this is a good way to get things moving in the right direction.
you ask me to be respectful and try to stay on the main topic, but
ive got to say this. im 67 yrs old and been a democrat all my life and in all those yrs i have never seen such a do-nothing democratic party as
we have now. if we can get the truth out enough to get the public
talking and checking we are on the right path
