    It's too late to pretend, margot2. We have the proof in their very own writing. Filthy and corrupt.

    They got caught. Cat's out of the bag.

    Unless Margot2 is actually Hillary Clinton, Gary Johnson, or Jill Stein, no.

    Of course, if yours is a collective "yo'", the majority of American voters who cast their ballots against the political ingénue, yes, he beat them.

    And a corollary to that phenomenon is the fact that many "establishment" Republicans (who should be abandoning his abject lunacy--such as Paul Ryan, etc.) are turning a blind eye b/c they see Trump's election as a chance to pass a Radical GOP (tax cuts for Wall Street/crapping on working families) agenda.

    That is an equally disgusting phenomenon.

    We are a nation of laws, so are not an hysterical mob parroting "Lock him up! Lock him up!"

    The confirmation by the FBI, CIA, and NSA that Russia conspired to elect its Trump to further Russia's agenda, and accusations that his operatives colluded with Russian agents must first be thoroughly exposed.

    That is why Darrell Issa is now calling for the appointment of a credible special prosecutor to investigate the matter.

    That has nothing to do with the media getting caught cheating. That's why they are known as the dishonest media. It's all in their emails.

    Astonishing, eh! Where did you spend last 8 years? In a cave? Under a rock? Your memory needs to be refreshed.

    Obama's Policies Have Helped Wall St. Fat Cats

    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/ar...cies_have_helped_wall_st_fat_cats_120768.html

    A major cause of the Great Recession was the recklessness of Wall Street bankers. But Democrats gave them an edge in 2010 when they imposed crushing burdens on smaller competitors who’d done nothing wrong.

    The Dodd-Frank bill has imposed “significant costs on community banks without providing benefits to consumers or the economy that justify those costs,” concluded a paper by Wake Forest University law professor Tanya Marsh and Joseph Norman.

    Despite ample evidence, no Wall Street executive has been prosecuted for fraud.

    So it’s easy to see why Democrats are Wall Street’s darlings. Last month, Goldman Sachs paid Hillary Clinton more than $400,000 for making two speeches. Wall Street has donated more to Barack Obama than to any other presidential candidate, save for ex-Wall Streeter Mitt Romney, according to the Sunlight Foundation.

    The income inequality his policies have intensified is “immoral,” President Obama said at Knox College in July. But as Americans who’ve lost their health insurance can attest, he often says things he doesn’t mean. Actions speak louder.

    “While the populist rhetoric of modern (Democratic) politicians is all about redistribution and inequality, the reality is that (their) policies entrench privilege,” wrote Walter Russell Mead, editor of The American Interest.

    “Well-connected insiders get sweetheart deals from government, and insurance lobbyists wield a veto over Obamacare’s restructuring of the American health care system,” Mr. Mead said. “Most of the so-called green policies are basically ways to channel money from ordinary consumers to political insiders who invest in clever enterprises engineered to suck in subsidies or to thrive in protected, artificial markets created by regulations.”

    President Obama has “redistributed” more tax dollars to crony capitalists than to the poor. From the $787 billion “stimulus” that didn’t stimulate, to subsidies for “green” companies that produced more corruption than energy, to Obamacare, every “investment” he has made has produced a windfall for the politically connected but hasn’t helped ordinary Americans...

    Facts are facts...Irrefutable.

    Just wondering
    If we agree that the media serves it own agenda
    Does that make them an enemy of the people

    When they are caught colluding with one political party it makes them dishonest.

    You'll have to provide proof, like Wikileaks did about the dishonest press.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Not wrong, dishonest. Like giving certain candidates debate questions ahead of time. Or giving final editorial of your work to a certain candidate's campaign.

    I love how this is still being pushed... The same outfits that wanted websites shut down because they dont push the agenda now lie and claim he called the media an enemy when he said the FAKE media....

    Stop making (*)(*)(*)(*) up and perhaps you can cover events again. Stop calling people "Hitler" at the drop of the hat and perhaps people will respect you.

    This is what trump really said.....

    Please copy this post and re-post it when ever the left alters it to say, "the media is the enemy of the people". It's not what he said.

    Did you want me to prove what I said about fox, or trump?

    So you are saying that ALL MEDIA are enemies of people for this reason?

    As far as dishonest is concerned
    What do you say about trumps suggestion that Cruz father plotted with lee Harvey Oswald?

    The dishonest media is the enemy of the people. You have a difficult time understanding the concept.

    Well that free media advertising made Trump the president so you tell me. Do you consider the media the friend of the left?

    The main stream media IS the enemy of the truth, thereby the enemy of the American way, thereby the enemy of the people

    It is obvious that many of the nutcases from the far right...do not know what the "American way" actually is...and want to change "the American way" into "the way we nuts want it to be."

    Too bad that.

    I hope the Republic survives this disgusting fart in its trek through history.

    Hey...we survived the American Civil War...we should be able to survive this.
