Straigh Universal vote Warranties that the People has the Last Word in matters of Political power. The Electoral College of USA is as undemocratic as to having letting a Man to get the presidency with 2 million votes less than the winner, thus, One Citizen = One Vote is not happening, and politics held the power in elites over the rest.


In The case of Communism it happens the same way, The Soviet was made of an elite of Boreaucrats among whom the power of decision was reserved, so the people may voted but their options were controlled, in the so pretended Most Democratic nation the electoral do not represent the people.

Poor CNN.
Nah, he still was.

And, he's still a Dick.

Not even close.

The media have been doing the bidding of their banking family overlords since the beginning of time.

Cheney was just a useless individual pawn.

Indeed. But he's also someone who is pretty intelligent (even in a dangerous since) and IMO, the real brains in the WH when Bush was sitting in the oval office.

He's absolutely correct about CNN and the rest. They are now irrelevant.

In many ways CNN contributed to Trump's rise in power. In the beginning when Trump 1st ran people at CNN thought it was a publicity stunt for him. They mocked at Ann Coulter and even Keith Ellison when they thought Trump was the most poised candidate in early 2015.

In the 1st few GOP primaries, CNN was actually covering Trump enthusiastically as they were focusing on Ted Cruz vs Jeb Bush and Rubio.

Then once Trump dispatches Jeb Bush, that's when they changed their strategy and started their negative coverage of Trump.

Each time Trump would speak, CNN starts to misquote him and cut off the rest of his speech. They were so obvious about it when people on youtube showed CNN reporting about Trump and misquoting him before he's even finished with his speech.

But we Did!


OBAMA and Clinton did not prove their worth to the voters and the mocking of anyone who went against the machine insulted many!


CNN and MDBC has drop in ratings and credibility. I predict a change in management soon.

Don't forget they blatantly helped Hillary to cheat during the debates by giving her the questions before hand so she could prepare. And of course crooked Hillary was happy to work with them to cheat.

Then you see the republicans being cocky by having won.... What did they win?, the most undemocratic system of election in the World?, is really pride in that?
The USA is not a pure democracy.
