Like I said last week....FAKE NEWS.

Who cares if it happened or not...some things are not worth reporting. CNN and CBS and USA Today spent countless hours and manpower covering stupid, low-brow, national inquirer worthy bull.

If any of the mainstream media thinks they actually damaged Trump's persona, they didn't. They actually emboldened his moronic pompom waiving lunatics (see stilladumbass' post and twitter for proof) and they reinforced the "fake news" narrrative that Trump cast on them.

Bunch of idiots. But I'm not surprised that CNN would stoop so low...they are ran by the producers of fear factor.

Sorry I didn’t read your post before I posted....you are 10000000% right... this actually is fake news. Trump is a billionaire that feels like he owns the world. His followers dont care what he does...and as long as it isn’t illegal i dont care how many women he slept with. He is not follow Bill Clinton and say he didnt sleep with those women under oath.

It's NOT Fake news.

Yes, the affair is whatever. That's on Trump and Daniels. The illegality stems from the payment of hush money and the alleged threatening of Daniels.

That aspect isn't fake news.

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.

Back the expelling of Russian “Diplomats”, I’m looking at a list of U.S. allies who have also expelled Russian “Diplomats”. Trump had no choice but to fall in-line, but to-date, he has yet to publically condemn Putin/Russia in ANY way.

What exactly is your definition of "Fake News." That idiotic term gets thrown around too casually and I question anyone who would parrot anything Trump says.

"Fake News" is deliberately manufactured lies.

News that you happen to disagree with is not fake news. CNN is not fake news, it's just a crap news organization that panders to the lowest common denominator. Breitbart is a fake news organization that has evolved by necessity into a straighter-shooting news organization, but it's still not a trustworthy news source. Infowars is straight up fake news.

Pretty simple.

You can smell the fear the Reptilians have in the midterms! It is well illustrated in Wisconsin where Governor Scott Walker. Since December there have been two open seats in Republican held
districts. The Reptilians are fearful of losing both and will show the unpopularity of the party in Wisc. The courts have instructed Walker to hold the elections but he is resisting and bringing back the legislature to change the laws to avoid that. It is a sure sign of fear that his gerrymandered regime is about to collapse.

In other Wisc. news looks like Paul Ryan may not run! It is a district he has won easily but he is in for a fight this time. With Randy the Stash.

Reptilians know the blue wave is coming.

"Fake News" is not a definitive term, zonkerthebrainless. The term is not objective, so your definition of it means diddly. As a matter of fact, you're confusing fake news with propaganda; they are NOT one and the same.

I view fake news as bull, real or imaginary. If Trump had bits of raisins in his stool this morning, and CNN reported on it, that's fake news.

Information of little to no value is not newsworthy. I don't care if Trump had sex with a hooker or a pornstar...he's a rich, powerful douchebag from New York. I expect that type of behavior from him.

Warren IS over the top on this... she has been from the beginning. And she has been misaligned with reality at the same time.

She was part of the too big to fail movement - and all of the rules and regulations put in place just consolidated the big banks.

And the rules and regulations being put in place now are only going to make the banks bigger and more powerful and more discriminatory. :lol:

At least Warren and others are now saying its time to break these bastards up. And send people to jail for fraud and abuse of consumers.

Yep, the new rules are no better than the old rules. Pot calling Kettle... If you really want to fix it - the federal government needs to get out of the loan business and into the loan regulation business. But there is little appetite to divest of Freddy and Fanny. There is little appetite to have banks just be banks.

I can see why they had a recall effort against Walker, what a giant POS. Republicans have no shame at all, just like in PA where there is talk of impeaching judges who rules against them. Just brazen power grabs just like the stolen SOTUS seat.

Just so many talking points against what she supported (inadvertently) in the past. I do believe that she has good intentions - but she is conflicted because she still wants the federal government involved in the loan process. And that is what she never comes out and says...

I would take her seriously if she says she wants to wind down Freddy/Fanny, wind down the HUD loan program and the other REAL drivers of the problem.

But she won't...

Not knowing any details, I would agree that Wisconsin getting its budget "reasonably inline" is a good thing. But I need to know how they got it inline before I can say for sure that it's a "good thing." Because I've found that when the Repubs are in charge of budgetary decisions it's often workers, children, the elderly, the environment and the social safety net that take the hit. And that's not a good thing.

I hope that's not true in Wisc.

Sadly, I'm well aware of how Gov. Walker gutted workers' rights during his first year in office. I work for one of the national unions that fought hard against Walker's actions.
