2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumFB Grade School Friend Fox News Watcher
This love her some Fox News and posts World Nut Daily trash once in a while
This is her reaction when she watches NBC Nightly News
I was laughing so hard I was crying
Last night I watched #NBC #NightlyNews for the 1st time in ages! The LIES... OMG! These people make their own stories up and call it "reporting"! 😳
But, it made me realize that our country is doomed! Irresponsible reporting like that should be just cause to pull them off the air! Reporters should not be allowed to report from their point of views and stick directly to facts! No wonder people are so damn confused... ethically, morally and politically! They don't report on the issues, they take cheap shots, put their BS to it and send into people's homes! I gasped in shock several times in that horrid 60 minutes and just found the whole hour gut wrenching to the point of being physically ill!!! Is there anyone that will hold these people accountable for their false reporting!
This election has turned into a 3 ring circus and it's embarrassing! I am ashamed of so many aspects, that I can barely find an ounce of joy to be apart of the greatest country in the world! It leaves one questioning on how in the hell did we get to this point and is it to late to gain the respect that this country had 20 years ago!
So, I started questioning where it went wrong. I believe that no one knows what in the hell their voting for other than what the hell can be done for them! Does anyone understand Economics? Does anyone understand the constitution? Does anyone realize that the History being taught to our children is not what we were taught? (It is taught with a view that we should be embarrassed by certain events that made us who we are today) I can tell you that our founding fathers are rolling in their graves at the ostracity that we have become! We have no law and order any more! Without law and order, we loose every aspect of honor and dignity as a society! Are there bad and corrupt cops? Yes, but that is NO EXCUSE to allow people to take to the streets and hold society hostage and take the lives of innocent people! When did we decide to make "heroes" out of individuals who break the law??? WHEN??? 😳 We have a legal system (VERY FLAWED) but it is a process that is available to the citizens for any wrongful acts done by law enforcement! NO WHERE does our Constitution say, take the law into your own hands and take a life that had nothing to do with one's situation! & you people are supporting that lawlessness! Are you kidding me??? Everyone of you should be ashamed of where we are at today! None of you vote for the "real" issues, just your personal issues that furthers your own personal agendas! That's not political, that's BS!
Then I look at Donald Trump... He has to be the most hated man on the planet! Why? Because he see's just how far we have fallen as a Nation! We were #3 on the World platform as one of the strongest nations! Do you know where we are at today... #13! We have weakened and it would not take much for another country, stronger than what we are today, to come in and take us over! Did you know that China owns like 90% of our currency??? That is scary as hell! They damn near own us and no one cares! It's all part of economics but no one cares about the real issues! We'll just dig up dirt and call it policies! Trump may have alot of personal flaws but he understands the system of economics that can get us on the right track, whether you like to admit it or not! Then I look at the Republican party, WTF??? They are panicked guys, to the point that would make them turn their backs on their own party and support one of the worst individuals in the world, next to obama anyways! The Establishment Elites knows that if Trump wins, they lose their piggy banks! The Establishment Elites are playing Russian Roulette with our lives and we are paying for it! We are the ones who will have to suffer the consequences of their arrogance!
Obama has damn neared destroyed this country and Clinton will just carry on his brigade of destruction! Do you know why everyone hates Trump? Because he is all about more freedom and less government! Obama-care is a train wreck and no one can pay their premiums! I should not have to pay for someone else to have insurance... that is WRONG on so many levels that it's just disgusting to believe that it is my responsibility to take care of other individuals off my back! The left is like, pay your fair share... really??? If I'm working, paying my taxes and providing for my family... that is my fair share! I'm not doing that off of someone else's back! I'm doing that on my own! It's called MY responsibility!
I'm an Independent! I think for myself and don't follow the mindless sheep waiting to be fed! There are alot of issues at hand that requires a thought process! If you're thinking, Damn even the Republicans are bailing on Trump... remember, they didn't want him there to begin with and they are looking out for themselves and their piggy bank!
Personally, I'm tired of being SCREWED to better the lives of those who can't take on the responsibility to better their own lives!

I also have few wobbly ones that are clearly demented with rightwing nonsense. I think it's time to cut them loose.

I know something you don't knoooooooow! And so on.
The notion that one is aware and others are unaware is one of the founding principles of any cult.
