You're right, we're just a bunch of rich plutocrats out to take down Western civilization. <br /><br />And, by the way, Mueller is "counsel."

Just like they pumped up the mortgage market in Canada. They no longer work. So they feel like mini-plutocrats: entitled to everything without ever having to contribute anything.<br /><br />Can Western civilization survive what these Baby Boomers have done to it? If the people stand up to them and change course. (I.e., real democracy: what the looters call "populism.") This 40-year neo-con neo-liberal downward spiral of theirs is going to bottom out some time. Could be tomorrow. <br /><br />Unless this spoiled little bastard generation is pushed out of the way, there is no tomorrow. Just inevitable economic collapse, fascist revolutions in Europe (when people see capitalism and democracy as failed ideas) and WW3.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. Reporters and editors are people and as such bring politics to everything they observe and choose to report. The skilled news reader learns to seek out what is credible and backed by reliable evidence. The rubes get conned by assholes, like Trump, claiming that the first American black president is a Kenyan-born Muslim. You seem to fall into the latter category.<br /><br />CapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-46830210576337603642017-05-17T19:20:21.352-07:002017-05-17T19:20:21.352-07:00The sheeple hate Trump because of corporate fake n...The sheeple hate Trump because of corporate fake news.
