Because the media LOVES war. It's a ratings bonanza for them.

Democrats hate your rights.

They run their platform on illegal aliens, higher taxes and killing the 2nd amendment.

Airing on regular TV in New Mexico. Apparently, candidate ads cannot be censored.

So do Republicans.

They run their platform on smaller government, lower taxes, and less spending. But we still end up with bigger government, higher taxes, and more spending.

I think the opposite. Reporting on war seems to be a ratings loser compared to the sex life of Donald Trump. Otherwise they’d be reporting more about it. And it would probably be a more effective tool to get people to start disliking Trump. The Stormy Daniels story doesn’t seem to be doing the job.

I see the hyperbole has begun. I'm sure it feels good, but:Ask yourself why someone, anyone would think this is a winning strategy. Someone has decided flipping the bird at the NRA has benefits. That's new.

The NRA just put a traitorous criminal - yes, Oliver North - in a position of power and recognition. It's considered emblematic of the organization. You thought you'd be able to sell the "only trying to protect the Constitution" after that little maneuver?

Whenever there is an overseas bombing campaign or another act of U.S. aggression, the media collectively soils itself. Remember how they were practically giddy when Trump ordered the Syria bombings last month?

Remember this from last year's bombing of Syria?
