Democracy Dies in Darkness

LowDown · Dec 19, 2017

And the mainstream media apparently wants democracy dead, dead, dead.

“@ABC, @CBSNews, and @NBCNews ignore report that Obama sabotaged efforts to crackdown on Hezbollah for Iran.”

Networks Refuse to Acknowledge Donna Brazile‘s Revelation Dem Primary Was ‘Rigged’ for Clinton.

Media Conspicuously Omits D.C. Metro Shooter’s Immigration Status.

All Three Networks Ignore ABC’s Brian Ross Suspension Over False Report.

Undercover Video Catches ANTIFA Plotting Violence, Media Ignores Evidence.

Trump is making tons of progress while the media ignore it.

But not to worry. We have media we can trust covering this stuff.

Mainstream media is dead, dead, dead.

Democracy dying is passing a tax bill that has a 2/3 disapproval rate.

Democracy actually dies in gleeful pig-ignorance, as you're clearly demonstrating.

The USA has never been a democracy. Brainwashed people cannot run a democracy. The USA is, and always has been, a kleptocracy. Just like not at all great Britain before it.

"The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd. And it's the responsible men who have to make decisions and to protect society from the trampling and rage of the bewildered herd. Now since it's a democracy they - the herd, that is - are permitted occasionally to lend their weight to one or another member of the responsible class. That's called an election."
- Noam Chomsky

Isnt it great ? Tax reform with huge cuts are in the way, and there's nothing the whiney Left can do about it.

Silence is what we're getting from Trump unless you count Twitter. Democracy dies when there is no opposing viewpoint offered.

Huge tax cuts that benefit the wealthy and screw the poor and middle class. Don't worry the GOP will pay for it and pave the way to a Dem tidal wave taking back both houses of congress and the presidency. Then real good change will happen.

Yes, we know any poll that doesn't put your false god Trump or his plans in a good light is "fake news" to you. Sorry you don't like FACTS.

That’s not quite fair. His speeches have caused some excitement of late.

What factual elements of the reporting are you criticizing? Or, in your case, running from, hair on fire?

Facts can be scary things.

Sorry, but the mainstream media destroyed their own credibility. Not me. I simply acknowledge the fact.

Only to Trumpettes they have. You guys only believe polls that show Trump in a favorable light and whine and cry about Fake News when it doesn't. Hell, Trump tweets something you still call it fake news.

The twitter article's thesis is that the Obama administration didn't actually do anything to hinder the efforts against Hezbollah. Here's what Policio says:

But as Project Cassandra reached higher into the hierarchy of the conspiracy, Obama administration officials threw an increasingly insurmountable series of roadblocks in its way, according to interviews with dozens of participants who in many cases spoke for the first time about events shrouded in secrecy, and a review of government documents and court records. When Project Cassandra leaders sought approval for some significant investigations, prosecutions, arrests and financial sanctions, officials at the Justice and Treasury departments delayed, hindered or rejected their requests.

I don't see where that's contradicted by the rest of the article, as is claimed. What some officials try to do is retreat behind the curtain of classified operations and claim that "you guys just don't know everything that's going on".

Yeah, right.

Maybe you can explain, oh ye of superior intellect.

Democracy dies in Darkness because Tyrants who want full control need to convince the masses not to trust the media that's trying to protect them from tyranny.

The media is made up of Americans. They have no collective reason to want a dictatorship any more than you or I would. If you find yourself believing the President over what the vast majority of the press are telling you then you're the one in darkness.

Yes, that's what we all are reduced to when none of the media can be trusted to tell the truth.

Who are the people who are rooting for more regulations, more taxes, greater power in the central government, and who is trying to cut back on government power and regulations? Who do you seriously believe is putting us in greater danger of tyrrany?

Trump has lies 8 times the amount in 10 months than Obama did his entire presidency and you say we should trust Trump? :lamo And you wonder why we call Trumpettes partisan hacks.

So you cannot dispute the factual nature of what I linked to.

I shouldn't have to explain anything. The case is laid out in simple English in a very simple manner. It also clearly explains the bias in the Politico piece and how it's not really supported by anything concrete.

Had you read it, you'd know that.

You're welcome to play your silly games by yourself.

ROTFLOL... don’t worry... the GIMPs (Goebbels Inspired Media Propagandists) are cooking up a whole host of FAKE NEWS stories. I hear they’re trying to outdo their 5 Trump Fails in 10-days or so.

Hey rocket88... enjoy your tax cut!!! And if you’re in a high tax state... enjoy paying your high state taxes... just consider you’re paying your fair share...LOL.

Thanks for the predictable and rehearsed Left wing talking points, theyre nonsense of-course

As if the Democrats or the Left cares about the Middle class, they and people like you are still defending ObamaCare, a horible law that continues to soak the Middleclass

Elections have consequences, and its so enjoyable to watch Obama's disastrous agenda be unraveled bit by bit
And its even more entertaining to watch the unprecendented corruption that happened under the Obama administation be exposed

Twitter is where we get most of our communication from the White House.

I'm not a corporation, so my taxes aren't getting cut.
