    Folks, has anyone else noticed how silly attacks on trump are becoming? The press, all by themselves created a feeding frenzy over the 'Birther' issue on Wednesday, something put to bed a couple of years ago. Now they are trying desperately to turn Trumps comments on Clinton's security force being disarmed into a new faux pax....

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...sarm-immediately-and-see-what-happens-to-her/

    Today, as the hot air of fake media indignation dissipates over the dead Birther silliness, up pops this nonsense as though anyone actually believes Trump was calling for the good lady to be unprotected...(GOOD HEAVENS, her continued health is crucial to a trump win...any replacement would be far more dangerous to trump and could actually be competent).

    What fake argument, silly on its face will the media pretend to discover when the amusing 'disarm Clinton' canard goes away? Is there nothing the media can find that would be a real election issue...you know, like rising ObamaCare costs or the hollowing out of the military???

    First off, I supported sanders and now will vote for Stein, who is like sanders in beliefs. But with that said you are absolutely correct in your discernment of what is going on here. The trouble is, when it comes to politics, all logic, rationality, and reason, i.e. objectivity gets thrown in the trash and burned. Some people that do this have brains that are not able to use those things I just listed. They could never be in a scientific field, or have any job that heavily depended upon clear thinking and cognition. Then there are others who do have the ability to be rational, logical, reasonable, but because of uncontrollable emotions, are incapable of using these things to separate the wheat from the chaff. And then perhaps there may be a group that have the ability to be objective, and actually see facts objectively, but are dishonest people, i.e intellectually dishonest.

    So, when I heard the clip where trump was talking about Hillary who he perceives wanting to limit firearms like you see being used in the UK, stomping on the second amendment, and then inferring her hypocrisy because she is surrounded by protection of automatic weapons, to help save her life, the meaning of his words were very clear. There is no way to rationally understand it in any other manner. SO, when you listen to how MSM lied, you have to call MSM out for indulging willfully in nefarious lies. So, MSM are clearly propagandists. The Press is supposed to speak truth to power, and not throw in with power, being an arm of that power. When this happens, you no longer have a Republic as the founders set up. It smells like oligarchy, fascism, which of course the Princeton Study said that we have, or are in the process of becoming.


    What the MSM is doing is actually showing something else. It shows that they know just how many idiots that we have that vote. If they did not have such a superior elitist attitude towards average americans they would never use these propaganda tactics on their viewers. For they know of the blowback from insulting the intelligence of voters that would come down in quantity on their nefarious heads. But instead of blowback a group of people cheer them on. LOL. I guess these elite thinking faux journalists are intellectually superior to the people who swallow their propaganda. Confidence men and marks.

    There are simply so many real issues out there....it is not as though the candidates have not laid out detailed policies...
