So the women on FOX and Friends just said

That this country has to get back to the way we were right after 9/11. I would like to make some suggestions to her. We might start with her. She was not doing what she does now, which is spewing the lies and hate of the FOX channel for the millions of dollars she makes a year. Donald Trump did not do what he did to this country and the people. No one has done more wrong to the country than Trump. The extreme republicans in congress were mostly not where they are now right after 9/11. the assault rifle ban was still there after 9/11. It was left to expire by the republicans in 2004. So Ainsley from FOX and Friends, these are just a few things to answer your question as to why it isn`t like it was after 9/11. Trump, extreme republicans, FOX, and people like you making millions to allow all of this to not be like it was after 9/11.

My recollections of the events both pre and post the terror attack are far from warm and fuzzy.

Who’s supplying their talking points this week? Ghouli?

Back after 9/11, most democrats/Americans put down their partisanship and supported Bush. I don't see any of that from Fox or the right wing media.

common enemy. Problem is, we didn't even have a common enemy after 9/11. Bush and Cheney went after the wrong country and most of the USA was so drunk with go-along mentality that those of us who knew they were going in the wrong direction lived a living hell. Lots of anguish and anxiety because it was like living among people who had a body snatching. No way to reason with them.

And those idiots probably still feel they were good Americans because they went along with everything. Bad Americans, all around.

We will never get a leg up on their propagandist methods until we can pin their leaders to the wall, exposing their constant lies.
