i like cuomo because he is good at his job. and underneath it all he really wants truth and justice. The pressure he faces at CNN to keep going with their shxtshow of "news" is enormous and their is no place for him at FOX...I dont think. So he has a fine line to ride.

One thing I'm certain. He will absolutely be the first journalist/pundit to flip at CNN. he is already greasing the skids. And by flip i do mean come full circle that this entire investigation is bogus. the entire narrative is bogus. and the constant attempt to find the "next thing" wrong with Trump.

When this thing is all said and done, many people in many parts of the media and government should lose their jobs. Some should resign. some fired. and frankly, some in jail.

Everyone but Trump and everyone who has not been loyal to him, right?


anyone that played a role in deceiving the FISA court should go to jail. from staffers to the "suits" that signed off on and presented that garbage to the actual court. jail for them. Minimum 5 years. While in jail, let's see if they point any fingers at a larger ring of conspiracy.

as for the all the pundits and talking heads AND political opposition operatives that have actively attempted to impeach this president? They will clearly hide behind the "misinformation" of the "few bad apples" in the DOJ/FBI(which is why it is so important for those bad apples to "sing." So they should be shamed into resigning.

This has been the most blatant, most active, most aggressive disinformation campaign ever leashed on the american public.

CNN still talk about collusion. albeit only about 30 minutes per day. it was only 3 weeks ago that CNN was convinced Trump colluded and they talked about it 21-23 hours per day. eery day. for 12 straight months. That might not be illegal. but its something. And of course they have replaced their 21-23 hours of coverage on collusion with obstruction. "Obstructing" the bogus investigation of collusion. Now if you just dont like donald trump this is all fun and game. you think its funny to watch an american citizen squirm. The president of the united states no less.

And for the record, the trumps have now spent an additional $24 million on combined legal consel just for legal fees strictly from this investigation into collusion that has evolved into obstruction. Again, funny if you dont like Trump.

But i happen to think something bigger is at stake here that Trump's personal savings account. Bigger than the GOP and DNC. Bigger than tax reform and DACA and whatever else legislation may slightly swing in favor of the GOP. Yeah. call me corny but Democracy itself is on the line here. I happen to believe in the a thing called the will of the american people. I happen to believe in transparency of our government. I happen to believe that the FBI/DOJ/CIA congress and the president, ALL OF THEM! they all work for the american people. and every few years we vote to determine who those people will be based on campaign pledges they make to us. I happen to believe all of that is very important.

So when the entire main stream media decides they dont want a guy in office and do everything they can to remove him. I happen to think that is a very bad thing. When politicians are complicit with that media, it scares me. and when politicians weaponize our DOJ/FBI to feed that liberally biased media bad information??? I just dont know where to begin to explain how bad that is for the country. For the american people. For democracy.

But i tried. I try here in these pages and on twitter. Democracy is frail. very very frail.

way more frail than most people in the world realize. Because money buys media. And media influences people. People are dumb. Marketing works.

Donald trump did something different that most politicians dont have the money to do. Instead of paying off media(buying large chucks of advertising time) to convince people "his way" was worth voting for. Instead of that. The way it was always done. he instead paid for research to figure out what american really wanted. He paid for all kinds of research. and he came to realize what americans wanted. He then campaigned on these issues. tirelessly. 18 hour days. for 18 straight months. It worked. He won. Fair and square. He won.

Since that victory he has learned how to govern. its a tough job if you actually try to implement change vs. (sit on your hands and straddle the line of PC culture in speech after speech... Never doing anything, just saying all the right things to appease people). Instead, trump is making changes. creating waves with those changes and those changes are working. Many presidents wanted to do tax reform. trump got it done. Many wanted to do immigration reform. looks like trump will get it done. From here it will be infrastructure then entitlement reform combined with a massive urban redelopment plan that Carson has been working on to bring jobs back to the cities.

In short. Democracy worked this time. the american people got it right. despite all of the stuff i mentioned above. and we have a guy that is not content just sitting on his hands at home and shaking hands abroad. This guy wants to do the work.

LMAO, read what you just said. Nothing about it points to a Democracy! You want a dictatorship. How do you not see that, seriously?

Thank you for that releasing us of blame part.


I've said it many times SD20 is a nutjob and a clown. He'll contradict himself many times within one post. He's basically just **** posting in this thread.


It's generally cool that mods aren't too strict around here, but what's the harm in asking SD20 to post a bit less and minimize the fake news tweets, along with the novel-length conspiratorial clown fiesta posts?

I have yet to hear anyone vouch for SD20, so what reason is there to allow him to continue making everyone else's posting experience worse?

Worth noting that I've blocked him, and this thread still seems to be littered with his posts and people telling him to stfu

I have tuned him out for this reason. Most of his posts are redundant. I just skip over them and will continue to do so until there is some brevity to his posts.

Look at this garbage SD20 is posting. I have no idea how he hasn't been banned.


But see we've got give both sides a chance. Both sides are just as bad you gotta remember that.


Allowing SD20 to post here promotes higher discourse, folks

I honestly don't know. He adds nothing to the conversation and more times just tries to derail them to feed his own ego. I mean if I kept posting spam on most boards I'd get talked to or banned of I kept it up.

GTM and point god are strictly here for a disinformation campaign.

Or posters like DC kings are here to actually exchange information.

So it's hard for me to exchange information with posters like TC Kings and also combat the disinformation campaign from gtn and point God.

But most days there's literally only one of me. Because as soon as a conservative pops up his head six or seven of you guys attack viciously. First their politics and then them personally.

I mean we have the tape we can go back and look at it.

Bottom line your whole world is about to crumble. You know it. The man was coming out. And the memo is just the tip of the iceberg.

Stop attacking the messenger. Deal with the message. Deal with the truth.

Trump again caught talking out of his ass. Thought he'd release the memo as is and the FBI can't be trusted, even though he hand picked the head of the FBI. Looks like he'll go back to the tried and true Clinton e-mail scandal.

To answer SD20 yes I like Daily Kos and yes it is left wing!!
Yes some of the content isn't factual!
But I think I can determine what is and isn't credible!
In my last 4 posts are there one fact that is incorrect????
You keep posting about the Nunes not Nunez Memo as the end all and be all but no one has seen it.
The FBI & Justice Department have not vetted it and with the educational background of Nunes and his previous attempts at manipulating the truth makes anything from him debatable. Plus voting party lines to stop the release of a Democratic memo is asinine.

Well yeah. You should try it. Makes my life work.

There are a few posters here who have been banned or suspended from other boards. Since I first started reading the Wizards board I noticed there was more of a hands off approach than on other boards. I didn't mind that. Some do. A few of my favorite posters left RealGM because of the discourse, but it's not really up to me to dictate or define poster discourse, disagreement, or even outrage. I can only say so many times that you can put someone on ignore or otherwise choose not to be trolled.

As long as posters are largely characterizing the assertions made by a post and responding to them, I don't really intervene, and I think most posters here do a fine job with that, whether I agree with their views or not.

For me, pizzagate and such are basically res ipsa loquiter, if you're not too literal minded, and that's enough for me as long as no impressionable minds are lurking about.

So we can all agree that Trump should meet with Mueller (in person) and answer every question posed to him, correct?

And IF he fails to do so people have the right to question his motives, correct?


Just wanna get everyone on record for future discussion. :)

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

I laughed, but in all seriousness, anyone who publicly gave the pizzagate rumors ANY credibility whatsoever, should go to the restaurant, apologize to the owner, and voluntarily take a punch to the face from the owner and a kick to the groin from anyone on the wait staff - hopefully hard enough to avoid the potential of future procreation. And if that offends anyone, tough shyt. They're a local restaurant here that never did anything to deserve the crap given to them.
