I am outraged at twitter. What, there are now 280 characters allowed per tweet, nevermind twitter rocks.

Will one of my minions check and see if there are any working middle class left in the country. I think this thread is fake news.

 

say what you want but our stocks are rocking and our retirement exploding. been best 12 months weve ever had. As a union contractor our business is only hurting because were unable to get enough workers on our projects. no complaints here. Were showing largest profits in last 10 years and our investments are thru roof. Were loving it

 

Shooter has noted a trend in recent days.
When there was talk of a special prosecutor investigating the Uranium one deal, and Trump pushing that along, the first reaction was "He's just diverting attention from his own Russian thingy". No matter. Trump can divert all he wants, the investigation will continue.

But now, suddenly, all the media outlets are spewing the same talking points; mainly that the deal wasn't Hillary's deal, it wasn't like it's been portrayed at all, and in any case, the uranium at issue can't be exported to Russia. As if that were chipped in stone. Or mattered.

Of particular interest though is that in every media report, the $145 Million "donated" to Hillary's foundation is mentioned in passing, but then the issue is dropped. They don't delve into the donors, the timing, the background of those donations. They just want to keep talking about how Hillary was removed from the decision making process, and how an entire Commission had to make the recommendation and they did it without input from Hillary.

Never mind the $145 Million; not an issue, nothing to see here folks, just move along.

Well, Shooter is pretty sure this media campaign is just that; talking points from supporters aimed at diverting the conversation. You know, like Trump seems to be trying to do.

Does anyone else have a bad feeling about all this? Does anyone else feel like we're being manipulated?

 

Oh hell no. The news media would never do something like that.

 

Manipulated by the media? Heavens, no. The corporate ownership of the worlds information and advertising conglomerates would never, never, ever allow such a thing to occur as attempting the mass psychological control of the public to mould opinions and policy to enhance their profitability and extend their reach into every aspect of your life.
Never, ever.

 

What you think you understand is nothing more than what you want to believe. You give little evidence of knowing anything beyond your life experiences. You do not seem to do much reading. You do not illustrate your points by posting documented facts, or quoting noted writers.

You think your facility with obscene words is evidence of masculinity.
