I probably wouldn't like Pres Obama or Hillary very much if

I were a fake news fox truther.

Thank Goodness I'm not the brainwashable type just 'cause the flashy "news" station wants to think for me.

I had my chance in 1999.. I hadn't seen tv for a long time since I was on Kauai and we had a major hurricane that involved 5 years to rebuild our Island. Then I moved to upper state NY and bought a tv.. fox was one of the choices .. I thought.. "wow, they sure do news differently now.."

I lasted about 2 weeks and I could tell they were attempting brainwash and I hadn't even gotten into politics yet.. I got the hell outta there.

And, I heard much later from my son that my ex husband is a fox news truther.. My son was working on his father's house and told his dad he wouldn't work with fox on.. His dad said.. "it's all true" My son.. "no, it's not" I can see why that never would have worked out.

Good on you, Alice!

"I'd be willing to bet the bank, if I owned it, that lifting sanctions was as much a part of the..

conversation in all of these meetings as campaign tampering — the sanctions lifted being the payment for the election tampering help, and the novice American politician's cut of Rosneft being his personal payment."

Thank you for this Nexus, brush.. and as Jon Favreau tweets..

Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard Goes to Trump Tower to Defend Assad

Tulsi Gabbard, a favorite of both progressives and Trump senior counselor Steve Bannon, met with the president-elect Monday to make a plea: Leave Syria’s dictator alone.

Gabbard is not a favorite with this progressive and she's my rep.

There was another post on this too.. with his pic. Just sayin'.. It needs to be posted many times.. Thank you, BB

Could the ol media have been derelict? Trying to make trump "presidential"/"normal"
