The US was never a Democracy. It's a Constitutional Republic which is different.

Total fraud and coward.
Trump talks to the press every time he leaves on a trip and he answers endless questions.


Obama was a shy of the press and if asked a question Obama would jammer on and on eating up time so he wouldn't have to answer another.


Obama admin controlled the message to the press by their own admission.


Obama's usag falsified a warrant and judge shopped to spy on journalists.


Fraud and coward best describes Obama who feared annoying Putin. Cross the red line, oops, better check with putin first. Send arms to Crimea, oops, better check with putin first, send promised missiles to Poland, ooops, better check with putin first. Obama to putin, 'you sure you only want 20% of our uranium supply?'


Trump afraid???????????? you have to be dreaming.

Quoting this for the sole reason that it bears repeating. A Canadian is forgiven, unfortunately, a lot of U.S. citizens continue to call it a "democracy".

A Constitutional Republic is a Type of democracy, depending on which law professor you talk to on any given day. At least in theory.

In practice the U.S is really a Corporate republic, because just a handful industry groups control any given piece of legislation. But we all get to vote, so at least we enjoy the illusion of democracy.

One of the things that prompts me to SMH about that poster is why she lets the leader of a country she doesn't live in and isn't a citizen of get to her so much.

Press briefings were for people to know what the adminstration was doing... The press made a mockery of it... And now the liberals whine again....
