And why would he do that? I guess in your world anytime a cop feels like talking to you that means stopping everything in your life to go do that? Fuck due process, laws, probable cause, etc.

I don't care about his golfing or Obamas or Bush's. I have my own life to live and my existence isn't so miserable to sit here and nitpick peoples vacation plans. If you want to judge Trump or whatever other politician do on the basis of policy, you know what actually matters, not how many scoops of ice cream he gets or his golfing habits.



I think too many people in this country have fallen into the if it looks good, it must be OK, rut. Maybe Hollywood caused it, maybe the media, maybe Facebook... ??

Policy should be of more concern than appearance.




/e Well it seems like 9gag at least, has started letting the anti-Dem pics flow...







/ee I gotta say one thing... Mueller ain't no wimp. He has to know how hard some will come down on him in the aftermath. ^^

Agreed! It would have been truly devastating if the legitimacy of the 2016 election was questioned and we may have been in a constitutional crisis.


Indeed.

I think there were good reasons to believe the campaign conspired, but if Mueller says they didn't, I believe him. You have to wonder what's in that report though... hopefully we get to see most of it someday.

We do know that Russia made efforts to influence the election. That much is confirmed. Btu I guess Mueller did not find enough evidence to prove the Trump campaign was involved in it.

You hate anything with a (D) and many if not most of your positions on Obama are literally based on his appearance

specifically his skin color

Quote me saying this? It's been in the last few days so shouldn't be hard to find considering I post only a few times per day.

Or is this another case of you putting words in my mouth?

Highly doubt it. It's going to be business as usual. A few will get called out, they will deflect and life goes on. But the fucking damage that was done, the polarity it caused in our country that will remain.

I'm a Capitalist but honestly certain industries should be forcedto be non for profit. Dispersing objective news should be above profits. Yellow journalism sells and rakes in the dough but fuck that. The damage it causes is multifold more harmful.

Not only sensationalized but outright manufactured 'news' and spammed it for years. These assholes divided the country with the bullshit they published.

I wish we lived in a reality where these people were forced to answer for pushing propaganda.There should be public forums where someone confronts them about what they wrote a year, a month, whatever time ago. Call people out on both sides. There has to be a way to force integrity into people that disperse information.

Well close but no cigar.

I don't like what the Dems are doing, and I didn't like what Obama was doing. Other than that... no cigar.

First you don't know what the word objective means.

Now you think something being non for profit automatically means it's government-controlled?

The US education system has truly failed you.

How would you enforce "objective" journalism?

how would you enforce "accountability"

who would do it?

Who is going to enforce on the opinion pieces and commentators that you don't like?
