Hate to say it, but the laughable Sarah Palin was actually onto something when she called them the "lamestream media."
Anyone who even casually reads his Social Truth posts knows that the president is not well. Everyone but the U.S. legacy media that is.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

Wild to see KXLU, the Loyola-Marymount radio station, so prominently featured in the NYT Style section. Back in ancient times (when the school was just Loyola), I had two shows on the station - Soul Meeting (blues and jazz) and Various & Sundry (talk). Also met some of my now-oldest friends there.

"Minnesota's mayor"
Official government discrimination encourages *private* discrimination, as surely as night follows day.
Fox News' Will Cain: "I’m sure there are very honorable law-abiding upstanding citizens and contributors from the Somali community here in the United States, BUT..."
He goes on to say "we aren’t going to pretend here that all cultures are of equal value or the same."

President Trump has announced that he is retroactively pardoning Albert Speer and Rudolf Hess. "I've heard they were treated very unfairly," he said.

This is not an MRI result. It's a letter. And nobody does MRIs for cardiovascular health. 😕

I've had my share of MRIs and CT scans over the years, and while the results have often (fortunately) been described as "normal," I have never seen or heard the term "perfectly normal." Pardon my skepticism, but we know who loves the word "perfect." www.yahoo.com/news/article...

"Surrounding Venezuela?" So also the airspace in parts of Colombia, Brazil, and Guyana, and all of Aruba, Trinidad and Tobago...Maybe Grenada?
Airspace we don’t control. Are we going to start shooting planes out of the sky now like Putin?

I would have gone if I'd been invited, and stayed for the dancing afterwards. On his grave.
I for one would not go to Dick Cheney's funeral. I have no respects to pay to one of modern America's worst war criminals.
If you did? You are part of the problem and should be ashamed into staying far from public office.
