Well, it took the right (me included) a full 5 years after Iraq to admit it was an unmitigated retarded thing to do, and stop blindly supporting Bush.

Triple that for the left.

Here's a little story that might help explain where we are; have to 'read between the lines' though:

Guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc I'm worried that my brother needs help because he thinks he's a chicken."

Doctor says, "How long has he had this condition?"

Guy says, "About 10 years."

Doctor says, "10 years! Why'd you wait so long to tell someone?"

Guy says, "Because I need the eggs..."

I love how conservatives suddenly believe the FBI and DHS are part of a conspiracy against a sitting president

government is its own animal and that's why i hate government

it's very likely that Hoover pulled strings on both Kennedy brothers b/c he had the dirt on them. this was over half a decade ago

the FBI spied on civil rights leaders in order to hurt the movement

there are countless examples of totalitarian-authoritarian and partisan behaviors by the FBI in its history

hell, these behaviors in the 80s/90s led to the largest domestic terror attack in US history (OKC bombing)

why do you assume the group who hates government would not think that branches of the government (with a long history of being nefarious) would act nefarious?

quote:

In what world would conservatives have questioned a law enforcement investigation against Democrats?

this board (poli and OT) were cop bashers before it was cool. years before BLM warped the message

crazy arse CptBengal used to have almost a daily thread of cops killing dogs on the OT to shine light on the problem

why do you think he's changed?

and look at all the "right wing terror" done against government. hell even that idiot Cliven Bundy is "Righ wing" and his target is whom? could it be the federal government? don't act like "conservative" means "bootlicker" in every case (Especially on this board)

They don't think they look like morons. They are willing to print any story and when it doesn't pan out, they don't see that as a failure in any way. It is just the source's fault for having bad intel. They probably keep using the same source. If the source is wrong, they don't see that as a negative on their reputation. They have ZERO and I do mean ZERO journalistic integrity.

So no, they don't think they look like morons.

We're witnessing final stages of TDS collapsing the Enemedia. The Swamp skunks could be perp walked on Fox News in cuffs and Morning Melt would be reporting how Trump supercharged the economy with tax breaks and good sentiment and in doing so destroyed the economy and all the good that Obammy showered on America.

BLM really did. I think most people critical of the cops were more critical of the nanny state regulations that widened the scope of the cops job to ridiculous levels. This was focused more toward the state than rank and file officers.

Then along comes BLM with the hyperbole that cops are literally executing blacks. That was and attack on rank and file officers, its not true. So many felt obliged to defend rank and file officers and criticisim of the government scope for their work got pushed to the back.

Those are propaganda outlets. The purpose is not to report news, it’s to fling mud at the opponents and see what sticks. There’s nothing for them to be frustrated or sorry about. They’re doing their jobs, but this batch of mud didn’t stick. On to the next!

They fricking think you're a Nazi. And they happily told you this in the lead up to and after the election. No longer can conservatives put their heads in the sand and pretend they don't know it. Pretend that the nice liberal down the street isn't this way

The frick he isn't. He's been telling you on social media for more than a year now what he thinks of you. He just doesn't say it to you directly

But newsflash people. If someone posts every day that people who think the sky is blue are Nazis and you think the sky is blue wake the frick up



Read this carefully and absorb it folks. This is the correct answer and I tip my cap to Rob for his perception. It is spot on

I called the fake buzzfeed news story days ago. I warned they were on repeat and rinse.

I could have smack punched Hannity last night as he had Jay, one of Trump's lawyers spilling away and dumbassed mother fricker Hannity cut him off....ah ahhh what about this and bought for paid for by HRC dossier. DeGenova said it best. The only reason Honest Bob corrected buzzfeed and the entire media screaming for impeachment-- is Barr. Apparently Barr is Leroy Brown and they are all scared shitless of him.

Hannity had a point though with 46 pages of fake news stories just in 2017. It is repeat and rinse with the media like clockwork. (Usually their "orange man bad' story is debunked in paragraph 9)

This buzzfeed one had two FEDERAL law enforcement sources.

The media has NOT, I repeat not, learned their lesson-at all. Even AC was told they all look bad and he blamed Buzzfeed. I turned on CNN later last night and they were having small orgasms over Trump retweeting prayer rugs on the Southern border.

It is now clear that the MSM is done and fully exposed. Their actions of non-apology, no-shame. no-retractions of their breaking news BS; shows they don't GAF, their orders are to take down Trump.

The Bernstein guy that broke Watergate was guarandamnteeing Trump will be Impeached, it is a dark day...blah blah blah. No one with half of a brain will believe him again. But CNN will repeat the definition of insanity and have him and Dan Rather on like the gods of news.

The new talking point is the buzzfeed federal sources were from SD New York and not Honest Bob so Trump will be impeached and removed.

I think they're so deep at this point they feel they have to keep going. They live in a bubble where I think they truly believe what they are saying and have no ability to rationally look at an issue.


ETA: Ha! didn't see this was a bump. But well timed.

SFP,

You were once eaten up.

You know what these people are like.

When you possess no morals, accountability, and more importantly, SHAME, you don't care.

They are going to keep lying, they are going to continue to be wrong, but they don't care.

At the end of the day, you have to draw the conclusion that they are EVIL.

They know they have the ability to set a narrative for tens of millions of people, and they can repeat said narrative as long as they want.

They know those idiots will then turn around and parrot it.

Look at the recent transcript release.

You now have mindless morons on every platform saying it wasn't real or it wasn't enough.

This is never going to end. In fact, it will only get worse.
