I totally agree with you. The German Press is no doubt going to be more fact based than our US press here.

2016 is still in the front of my mind, and how they enabled Trump. Then there’s the likes of Haberman at the NYT. She’s as vile a pot stirrer as ever I’ve seen. “Oh, I said evil of a Republican, I must dig up that old article against a Democrat I was working on as my penance. That should keep the Republicans in my good graces.”

of the perfect storm to get trump rigged in.

They got him and now they try to pump him up when he's not being a total asshole.. or maybe he was?.. I didn't listen to any speech of the pervert's.

Who do we believe.. the US media* * * * * * or our own brains?

Here's to a very special hell on earth for him and all his enablers.. looking at you haberman.

I read vast amounts of MSM news articles, and social media posts by career news reporters everyday. I know whose in it playing games to advance their careers vs. in it to report the news. Some of them are still ethical, a few more than I’d thought previously. Yet some of them really are vultures waiting to pick the bones clean on a fresh kill.

Think of him as no better than a tin-pot dictator. Pretty much how I look at him.

In dubbing Bush "Mayberry Machiavelli" because it's a better fit for popular vote loser Donald Trump. That last comment about how he spoke with a national focus, not global, says it all.

He is way out of his league.
