Would it be possible?

This is how we are made captive to Big Media. Will they keep up the drumbeat of Drumpf's treasonous behavior, or simply move on to the next shiny object?

Ultimately, it's Big Media who decides the narrative, what gets covered, whose speech gets attention, who shows up as a guest on the Sunday shows.

Yes, we can take to the streets - but I remember how the thousands of protestors for the bush II inauguration were blacked out by the MSM. I remember how the protests by MILLIONS all around the world against the Iraq war were conveniently left out of the MSM news coverage. Because the MSM loves a war, loves broadcasting big explosions.

I'm 68 years old. I can remember the time before "News" became a commodity, before it was expected to make a profit, when it was considered to be a social responsibility on the part of those who were granted the use of the public airwaves.

It is the fault of Television that we've ended up with such an idiot asshole for president. It is the fault of Television that there are so many stupid, shallow, mouth-breathers in our population that they would vote for such a slimey conman.

Yeah, "No one should let this news cycle pass and just go back to business as usual." - but, for our sins, it will.

If he is right about Trump, then why are people getting mad over his tweet?

It either doesn't fit the attention span for Twitter, or that he didn't go hard(er) and use the words "Treason", "Impeach," and just admit that 2016 is/was an invalid election by a monster dictator/POTUS and seen as such.

Maybe one day we will stop eating our own. Go figure.

Repuke or Dem come out and said this is treason and Trump is a traitor?

I may have missed it due to the fact I can only face reports a bit at a time.

In both he described how strange and bad for the US Trump's actions were. It is the House that must consider impeaching Trump - and that probably won;t happen until we have the majority.

In today's climate there are many people screaming "treason" and "traitor" at people on the other side. The difference here is that the words are accurate. Clear, well spoken descriptions of what Trump is doing might do more moving those not on the far right fringe. At some point, mainstream Republicans - and there are fewer in office than in earlier years - have to recognize the truth and realize that they have to act for their country.

Newscycles? FUCK ME...ARE WE SERIOUS? CHILDREN IN CAGES HAS LOST THE TOP OUTRAGE?!?!??!!?!!! WHAT THE FUCK???

We have sunk to the lowest common denominator of the country and our history and are wallowing in our cesspool of ignorance right now. There is a traitor in the White House, co-conspirators in the House and Senate, a propaganda network running 24/7 disinformation and a nation reeling from constant gas lighting.

Friends are "foes"...

Foes are "strong"...

NATO, Britain, France, Germany are "bad"...

Putin, GRU, Russia are "good"...

There should not be a fucking protest, there should be a mob storming the White House and removing Trump physically and hanging the son of a bitch from a goddamn tree on the national mall. HE IS A TRAITOR! Treason receives death, period. Those who continue to support this abomination are likewise guilty.

Hannity?
Ingraham?
Radio across the USA?
GOP Senate?
GOP House?
Illegitimate SCOTUS picks?

I don't give a fuck, they should all be hanged and their bodies dumped into a common grave. FUCK THEM ALL, AND FUCK THEM AS HARD AS POSSIBLE AND FOREVER!!!

This is the lowest point in the history of the United States of America, not since Arnold handed over West Point have we seen such capitulation and craven dishonesty or treason.

Nah...

There may be a smattering of objectionables. But the GOP is getting Russian money as well. So they are also compromised, and won't be anywhere as enthusiastic about taking action as Kerry might be. If they begin to rebel, we'll see the results of blackmail. Tons of money came their way from 2016, and maybe beyond.
