In The Union today… “Cheryl Cook: How Vladimir votes”
It’s painfully obvious that the local paper, by loosening their upper bound word counts for Other Voices for that screed (it’s about 940 words by my chosen word editor and the standard is 750), the Editor and Publisher must think it has merit.
When someone starts an op-ed with “Clear the room. I have a disturbing theory. It has to do with how Donald Trump may have defied the national election polls by defeating Hillary Clinton in the last election by a very small margin” you know it’s going to be “creative”. Like John Cleese in drag as Ann Elk presenting her theory about the Brontosaurus… that it’s narrow on one end, much much thicker in the middle and thin again at the other end.
This is conspiracy theory stuff. Absolutely certifiable. Makes InfoWars almost seem credible in comparison…. almost.

You know, this social media shutdown of righties (your next, BTW) had me very troubled and weighting heavy on me weary heart. They are trying to shut our voices down so it don’t get out and challenge the narrative before the elections. We still can get out today, but the screws are turning. Think this morning it was the WA Compost or NYT (or both) that had the front page pic of the folks looking like the Beatles meeting Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, all holding anti-hate signs. That’s the narrative. It was a peaceful, non-eventual Anti-Hate rally. A quiet day in our Capitol City. Wrapped up early.
Troubled? Troubled because as my side progressively gets shut down, we will be clamed up come 2018. But, something you said hit me. Game changer. Bingo. I need not fret. We got one solitary man with a Twitter Machine. Trump will get the message out. They can’t take that little finger tip gizmo away from him. The weight has been lifted. One man against all the King’s horses and all the King’s men. Familiar terrority. Silly me. Game changer. They have never faced this before. The internet has changed the way we communicate.

treating honorable citizens like McCain like shit…
Honorable citizens? I remember when McSenile (R – Face down in Charles Schumers lap) was the worst person in the world! The left always rehabilitates the losers as positive examples.
Hey dugski…..did you hear what a wonderful man Mitt (I have binders full of women) Romney is?

BS.
They start reporting news again rather than personal opinion, and I’ll give a rip about those people.
Honestly there’s nothing new here. The Hearst newspapers got to start a war and Trumphate does garner the clicks.
Thank God for the internet. You pretty much have to go to RT or Sputnik to get world news anymore. Most US outlets sound like Paul. 100% Trumpscreech 100% of the time.
Seriously, be honest for a second. Look at these two sites and tell me which reports news and which is a propaganda arm of the DNC. The fact that the Russians actually produce news and the US doesn’t is one of the great ironies of our age.

George@8:03AM “I note that the precisely written article about Swedish youths rioting and systematically burning cars ”
Quoted from an article:
“While most fires were started within a short period of time, it can not be excluded that there is a connection between the fires. The case will be investigated,”
lol. Damn, those police dudes are brilliant in Sweden.

Oh well, you know how it goes.
Donald Trump: overheard to say that if you’re rich and famous, women allow you to grope them.
Bill Clinton: serial rapist
You can tell just how deep the Left’s morality on these matters really goes.
I just wish that they’d start arguing about policy issues. How about health care? Taxes? Just how many furriners get to move to the US every year?
I’d say there’s been an intellectual collapse from the US Left, but then I’m sure they ever believed in anything really.
