got him elected to begin with. I recall countless times he "called in" to Morning Joe's show and they gave him all
the time he wanted to rant! Also, the so called Commanders' interview with Matt Lauer, he was pitched so many softballs
while Hillary was grilled about her E-MAILS! Makes me furious and it's been neverending with the media coverage of him!

My wife and I quit television more than a decade ago. We read all our news and opinion.

We don't have cable, satellite, or broadcast television. We watch DVDs and Netflix. We never see commercials. That's plenty of television for us.

Television made Trump.

To me that's unforgivable.

Refuse to be responsible corporate citizens. I laughed the other day when I saw the IRS is going after Facebook to the tune of $9 billion in back takes. It seems their application of the "Double Irish" failed to be set up correctly making the money taxable. Because of the money involved you can be sure Facebook will fight this.

But, make no mistake, money corruption is at the heart of so many of our ills and I don't look to see that change any time soon -- because of the money involved.
