This is absolutely true.

If a concerted effort to unjustly remove a duly elected president through a soft coup is successful people should take up arms and March on Washington.

Our country is essentially lost president Trump is merely a speed bump in the grand scheme buying us a little more time.

I think future historians will look back and realize the ideal that was America died around the time JFK was assasinated. Ever since then government has grown exponentially and out of control, we've steadily lost rights, been in too many conflicts, neglected our own citizens and it's been a slippery slope since and only accelerating.

People don't care about news outlet rates more than they care about the president's approval ratings. CNN isn't going anywhere. He is already being investigated for trying to interfere with the Time Warner merger because of his dislike for CNN. He did the same thing with Bezos and the Postal service. He thinks he is king. He lies about everything including his inauguration crowd size, manipulation of polls, no knowledge of Wikileaks on and on.

He can't continue his failed attempts at lying on the NYT, WaPo, MSNBC and other outlets because their ratings are better than his ratings too. Mueller confirmed what we already know. The fake news is coming from the president, not the media.

The latest example is his bandwagon conspiracy theory about the UK helping the Obama administration "spy". The Kremlin president has gone nuts.
Trump faces new scrutiny over AT&T-Time Warner merger
Quote:
“This latest revelation — that [the president] instructed senior White House officials to ‘get this lawsuit filed’ against the AT&T-Time Warner merger — follow a series of reports suggesting that the president seeks to wield the antitrust laws as a political weapon, to reward friends and punish enemies,” Cicilline and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said in a statement.

Imagine where CNN ratings would be if they didn't have Trump to kick around?

This "leftie" couldn't care less about CNN's low ratings. I never watch CNN. Why do you care about this, OP?

Hey, didn't the NY Times and WaPo fail?

Don't look now, but Alexa (accurate - run by Amazon who knows since they own the cloud).....rates CNN the highest web site for news.....

https://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries/US

NY Times follows that closely...that's just the online NYT, of course they do well in print also.

Those are the only two (unless you count facebook or espn or twitter, etc.) in the top 50.

BIG HINT FOR TRUMPOS......people use the interweb these days. We cut the cord long ago and most anyone who matters has done the same.
This.

That doesn't mean anything.

Higher education is nothing more than an indoctrination center.

Higher education doesn't equate to higher intelligence it merely demonstrates someone has the apptitude to complete a lengthy task.


People reject CNN, MSNBC and ABC because it's been repeatedly shown as deliberately misleading biased propoganda.

If you don't see the agenda going on then you have chosen to be willfully ignorant.

Even Fox news has made a steady left turn from center since they had their change of management/ownership.



Even Harvard agrees with me
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...been-negative/
You realize you contradict yourself, right?

First you say that higher education is "nothing more than indoctrination" (. Anti-intellectualism is alive and well in America. Sour grapes are in abundance, too). Then, to support your argument, you cite an article that quotes a Harvard study/scholar (? - couldn't read the article).


But, wait. Isn't Harvard "nothing more than an "indoctrination center"? Surely you can make up your mind, seeing as you haven't been "indoctrinated."

The Trump supporters could care less about the president low ratings and Russia's interference in the election that assisted the president. Cuomo hits back at the low rated president in a mature way. A minor in the MUD.
CNN's Chris Cuomo responds to President Donald Trump's Twitter attack against the media, namely a tweet that criticized the anchor's show.

Future historians? Hold on.

First, you guys always say that the study of a discipline like history is a waste of time.

Second, historians are:
a) educated scholars (you don't respect them, remember? many in your camp seem to only respect people who make lots of money. Because, of course, that means they're really smart and "successful") who, b) conduct their work in those "indoctrination centers."

So, why do you care what future historians will say about anything?

I agree wholeheartedly, though, with your last sentence.
