Mmm 516pm – Do you notice the difference between conservative and collectivist readers disputing the other’s citation of a partisan publication. When you guys rarely present a verifiable fact in your argument rather than a snarky opinion, the rightwingers here go to town countering the fact rather than dissing the messenger. You guys don’t do that, do you? If the Daily Caller screws up and errs in citing a fact, then go after the DC by first countering the fact with your better citation. But that’s not what progressives do – bamboozle with discrediting the messenger, not the message.

Call the paper. The AP is doing their damndest to mislead and lie about the latest democrat attempts at a coup. Here is my email request to the Union today on the latest AP outrageous “story”. Please email your outrage to the Union and ask them to stop printing these lies.
“Seriously? Did you actually read that trash? I read and watched it all and those AP so-called” journalists have it totally wrong. And not one mention of Biden. The full transcript is out, the so-ca;l;ed third hand knowledge “whistle-blowers: complaint is out. And not one word the person was a partisan democrat operative with democrat operative lawyers. These kinds of omissions are why papers are headed out and no one believes you. For goodness sake. They say there was a “cover-up” of the transcript? Never heard that anywhere else. And if our President can’t have a private phone call then our national security is at risk. But hey, all the crap Schiff said at his hearing yesterday as well as the poor treatment of McGuire, a decorated Navy vet of forty years should indicate the thin complaints Please stop printing these AP misleading articles.

Obama took office and had to deal with the worst financial crisis in this country since the depression. Also he inherited two unfunded continuing wars. Trumps inheritance from Obama was a cakewalk in comparison. Under my lens Obama was the better President and offered much better moral leadership and was an admirable role model for young people. . Was he perfect? Hell no but compared to Trump he shines.

Hey, just because Nancy says Attorney General Barr went rouge, does not mean it is so. No proof. Just like the unhinged mob says as a matter of fact that Trump considers himself above the law does NOT make it true. Where’s the proof?
Get used to it. This is just another Deep State attempt to oust Trump. Think of it as beyond the four corners of Russia-gate. And once again, the Enemy of the Truth is ahead of the evidence. Same players, including the DNC. They just can’t wait and do it at the ballot box. The results might be unacceptable to them and that’s a risk they cannot take. COVERUP! BARR WENT ROGUE!

And the type of “moral leadership” you cite that he offered to young people is exactly the opposite of the licentious morals that progressives have been teaching the nation at every opportunity since the Great Society days.
