    The Mueller Report has paid for itself in fines alone.

    Hillary accepted a fake dossier from the Russians and she and the DNC actually paid for the Russian fake dossier.

    What will history say about Hillary and the corrupt DNC ?

    They got punked !

    1. Mostly false statement.... I bolded the true parts for your learning curve....

    2. They lost a very winnable election

    3. They didn't get their money's worth, since they didn't use the dossier politically.... won't make that mistake again

    As is their pure right as a private concern.

    If you guys are so all fired upset over Google not being right wing enough why don't you found your own search engine. Given the literal millions of conservatives hungry for vapid and biased fascism....er....fair and balanced coverage you should make billions.

    Surely some underlings were involved also and they can be prosecuted.

    The NYT used the dossier to publish a fake news story that Donald Trump was in direct collusion with the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin.

    When the NYT retracted the fake news story most didn't pay any attention to the retraction.

    The Mueller special council witch hunt was political and the MSM witch hunt was also political.

    With the political left everything has to be politicized including the weather and drinking straws.

    It is depressing that Trump is the biggest purveyor of lies at the moment (ever?) and yet his lemmings repeat his mantra that the MSM is "fake news".

    The damage that Trump is doing to America - by normalising outright lies - can't be measured. It could take decades to recover, if ever.

    And his followers don't even realise that they are contributing to the damage. They think they love the country while they destroy it.

    Hillary's campaign spent $2 BILLION USD simply saying "I am not Trump. Vote for me 'cus vajayjay. Also totally not a racist or corrupt, no sir".
    Trump's campaign? Somewhere around $100 million USD in total, or somewhere around there.

    When it comes to Google manipulating votes and elections..
    https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-10-03-google-manipulates-25-of-the-worlds-elections.html

    https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/08/how-google-could-rig-the-2016-election-121548

    Twitter is manipulating, Facebook is manipulating and finally, Google is manipulating. All of them should be dissolved of their power to meddle in elections because of political bias and bigotry.

    Cry Baby Trump is incapable of letting reality go when it does not stroke his fragile ego.

    He fixates on his losing the popular vote in 2016 (exposing an unpopularity that has persisted without mercy in poll after poll.)

    Screen Shot 2019-08-20 at 11.57.26 AM.png ​

    Fake Don would do far better to overcome his petty, personal insecurities and rise to challenges of far greater, monumental import - such as sniveling about George Conway's having his way with him in unrelenting brutal candor.

    It's been almost three years so I'm not going to waste my time.

    But I'll put you on the right path for finding the fake news story.

    The NYT has an entire website page dedicated for fake news stories that were published and then retracted.

    Start here -> https://www.nytimes.com/section/corrections

    Noted that you can't / won't even make an effort to back up your claim. Unless and until you do, your claim means nothing. And FYI, retractions does not mean the original stories were "fake news".

    I have repeatedly asked Trump supporters to identify a single story in the mainstream media about Trump / Russia that was factually incorrect in any meaningful way.

    No-one has ever taken me up on that challenge. I bet you won't either.

    Trump lies. He lies repeatedly, virtually every day. He has normalised outright lying to the American people. He undermines the Republic when he calls mainstream media "fake news" or "the enemy of the people". And you and others cheer on his attacks on America.

    Why do you hate America so much?

    It was the NYT who first published the fake news story about the "17 intelligence agencies."

    It was the NYT who retacted the fake news story.

    But most low information Democrats still believe the NYT fake news story.

    Even Hillary Clinton mentioned the "17 intelligence agencies" during a Hillary /Trump debate after the NYT had already retracted the fake news story.

    If you want to see and read the NYT retraction of the fake news story, do your own research. Be happy that I provided you a link to fake NYT news stories that were retracted.

    Even if true (its not) Google would be well within their rights to be biased against conservatives. They would even be well within their rights to outright deplatform conservatives.

    I DON'T agree with your characterization.

    BUT, let's say I play along (hypothetically)..
    IF Google and the RW don't like Google's "Policies"...
    THEN, they are always free to use Bing or invent their own seach engine...

    Problem solved. :salute:

    I don’t know what’s worse Googles manipulation of voters and our democratic process, the left encouraging this behavior, or their sheep burning their head in the sand and saying this testimony is simply not actually even there

    That's a 50/50... the number 17 was overblown, but the gist of the story is obviously correct...

    It was 4 agencies (one of which oversees the 17 total USA "intelligence" agencies) that concluded "Russia engaged in an influence campaign directed at the election."

    Discounting this story for the number of agencies is like discounting the 9/11 attacks by incorrectly stating the number of floors of the WTC buildings... Foolishness...
