You care about lies but you are indignant about this crap? Look around. The whole thing is a lie. The Fed has propped up our economy on a lie based on fake economic numbers based on free money. The govt' is a lie from top to bottom. You don't have to look any further than all the noise we got from the GOP about Obamacare. When the rubber met the road we found out that it was all lies and they love central govt' controls. Look further out. The world economy is basically the same house of cards that the US economy is. You don't have to look any further than Brexit, Catalonia and all the other places that are removing themselves from the shitshows they are tied to. Even the silly Kurds are splintering off on their own which is going to be a powder keg exploding shortly.

What doesn't interest me anymore are the lies. They are too numerous. What interests me is the truth and if it still exists.

I completely agree with everything you say.  And I have absolutely no control over any of it.  I do have control over my opinion that Fed Gov meddling in yet one more f'ing thing doesn't come anywhere close to making any of the above situation better.  And letting go of the ideal of our COTUS, which is what this thing essentially boils down to, ain't gonna happen.  I'll probably never be ready to just say 'eff it' and not care what "they" do.

Something which you may not have considered is this:  Sometimes when you can't make things better,  you can make them better by making them worse.

With as worse as things have gotten they damn sure should be getting better soon.  I'm afraid our history teaches us that Fed Gov does not remove its fingers from anything it takes though.  I can't think of anything that has gotten better with more regulation.

But you should feel comforted by the fact that it is the Fed Govt' meddling and they are consistently bad at following through and doing anything anymore.

What "risk"?

As @DiogenesLamp eloquently spelled out, NBC, CNN, and others are censoring information that is very damaging to the DEM Party.

...and too many Hollywood 'stars' who remained silent knowing about his reputation and proclivities.

They do this for the sole reason of affecting elections and assisting the Left push their Agenda.

...robbing us of "Consent".

That is something, for which the American People would get behind a President.  And would it be 'Populist'?  Or Constitutionally mandated he do somthing about it?

Precedent. Precedent when the burgeoning internet is replacing the MSM for where people get news. Precedent that another Obama or Hillary could use to clamp down iwth.

What influence do they have? Despite their best efforts the GOP runs the country and the Dems are in shambles.

Like I said, the only people the MSM seems to influence is our GOP congress critters. If they'd quit being scared and get off their butts to do something, they could put the Dem party away for decades.

You probably put sweet relish in your deviled eggs which is more reason to put someone on ignore than mayo on a burger.  However, to answer your question, the dried out crap burgers you get from any restaurant need mayo.  A well made, homemade burger with beef that has the correct fat ratio is flavorful and juicy enough not to need it.

A) The only thing that goes on a deviled egg is paprika and an olive. If I see sweet relish out at a picnic I throw it away to save others from the indignity.

B) High rollers like me do not eat "crap burgers" so I have no need for mayo.....but I was reading a Redbook at the Dentists office and found you can use mayo to get gum out of hair. I also learned that you can make 8 different meals out of a bag of rice, a rutabega and a can of Campbell's Beef Consume.

First of all, no paprika and no olive; that stuff on deviled eggs is so white trash.  The most delicious deviled egg is mayo, *dill* relish, a very small dash of dry mustard powder and Nature's Season.  That is it.  You make egg salad with the same ingredients.

I think I'd rather slit my wrists than get meal advice from Redbook.  I didn't realize that high rollers went to dentists that had shitty mag like Redbook in the waiting room.  Mine has Garden & Gun and Architectural Digest.

LOL  I shit you not, my mother, who is normally a pretty good cook is describing this dip that a friend of hers makes that is soooo delicious.  She starts telling me it is a mixture of some unfathomable amount of mayo, diced onions and mozzarella cheese that you then bake in the oven.  So that's a big nope for me.

My husband will not eat anything with mayo even near it.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Today’s journalists have abdicated their duty under the constitution. There’s no penumbra in the first amendment that would protect the press from deliberate lying to the public.

Broadcasters must meet certain obligations to the public in order to renew their licenses. So, why shouldn’t a news network be held to a simple standard of veracity?
Well, better late than never. We have been listening to increasing levels of lies since Walter Cronkite declared the Vietnam War "Lost" even as Marines were finishing off the last major cadre of VC in Hue.

36% is still a very small percentage. The bulk of that concentrated in New York and LA with Chigaco in the mix as well.

Ok so even if I agree with the premise that is a big chunk (I don't) the second and third order effects by suck a stupid move would put HUNDREDS of locally owned and operated stations out if business.

Where is the sense in that simply because Trump is throwing a tantrum?

Trump is correct for calling out NBC. Broadcasters must meet certain obligations to the public in order to renew their licenses. So, why shouldn’t a news network be held to a simple standard of veracity?

If they are committing libel, then he can sue. But yanking the licenses is dictator stuff.

With the One Rump, the right has lost all moral authority, at least for the people who defended him. If Douche Limpballs loses his broadcast license under a leftist president, he has nobody to blame but himself, because he supported the One Rump. All the idiot loudmouths on AM stations frankly will have no moral authority.

Not to mention the fact that the One Rump doesn't know what he's talking about, there are only licenses for local affiliate broadcasters. There are no cable TV licenses. But you knew that.

Have you noticed the wall-to-wall news coverage of the public corruption trial of senator Menendez (D), NJ? Of course not! The airwaves are dead silent. If he had (R) after his name the court proceedings would have preempted daytime soaps and been televised live on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and probably FOX.

Why would I bring this up? Because the media’s power to ignore (thanks, @DCPatriot) is equally destructive of Americans’ freedoms as are their FAKE NEWS stories.

Rose McGowan’s Twitter account suspended: ‘There are powerful forces at work’


Quote
Oct. 12 (UPI) — Rose McGowan was informed Wednesday that her Twitter account has been suspended as the actress continued to speak out against Harvey Weinstein and others for their sexual misconduct.

“TWITTER HAS SUSPENDED ME. THERE ARE POWERFUL FORCES AT WORK. BE MY VOICE. #ROSEARMY,” McGowan wrote on Instagram to inform her followers of what happened to her Twitter account.

McGowan also shared a photo of the notification Twitter sent her stating that she would not be able to tweet, retweet or like other tweets for 12 hours.

“We have determined this account violated the Twitter Rules, so we’ve temporarily limited some of your account features,” the message from the social media company read.
