There is no going back for the media either. They just look like idiots now when they pretend that we still believe them.

Yes Trump exposed how rotten DC is, but he can't fix it. So he tweets and complains. Also, a lot of R's are really RINOS and can't wait to get back to before Trump. Corruption and all.

The kettle meet pot syndrome. There are good people and bad people everywhere. In all walks of life. Some things shine like gold ain’t gold! And some things are very apparent are just wrong. MrT exposed only his own mess. .

I know what it means, here's a few articles for you to read:

What did he do to 'expose how rotten DC really is'? Seven of his advisors have been indicted on criminal charges.

Super nice guy. married 50 years or something. Asking me what we are doing down in Cabo, how we like it, etc.

I get off the phone and look them both up. There is an audio recording of them plotting to murder someone if their extortion plan fails. This was never reported in the media. Nothing was done. They both lived happily ever after. And one more thing. The media is totally corrupt as well. This deep state thing we hear about is 100% accurate. Funny thing is, I asked him who the most corrupt and without hesitation he said Barbara Bush. Her and GHW were the worst. Again, he was a Republican. BTW, Ronnie was the best by a mile.

So what does this have to do with Trump? He came into office as a total outsider and blew the whistle on it all. The fake news. The deep state. The corrupt CIA and FBI. Trump basically blew up the charade that is the USA. And these forces are going to get payback.

If Trump wouldn't have come along and screwed things up, we'd all still be living a fantasy while the country continued its slow but steady decline into oblivion.

This entire mess is Trump's fault.
That's a very peculiar post for all kinds of reasons.

You're asking us to believe that you just casually looked online and found a verifiable recording of a murder plot? I have the feeling that you're very gullible. Trump "blew the whistle" on nothing. Blowing the whistle doesn't mean making wild accusations and tweeting insults. Blowing the whistle is showing up with extensive documentation of wrong-doing. This Trump has never done. He may ran around ranting about "fake news," but he never offers anything factual to counter it.

Authoritarian collectivism is not the subject of those articles. Authoritarian collectivism refers to a mandated socialistic society, presumably overseen by a small group of authoritarian elites.

* In a socialistic society, the means of production are controlled by the government and there is no private ownership of property (this is confirmed by Webster's dictionary definition).

* In an authoritarian society, a concentration of power resides in a leader, who not constitutionally responsible to the people. (again, Webster's Dictionary reference)


Neither is the case with our government right now or with Trump.

I for one 100% believe this story. Just last year I was in Turks & Caicos on vacation. I was sitting by the pool when I realized the guy sitting next to me was not a person, but the ghost of Richard Nixon. He told me that everyone is corrupt and called up his friend, ghost George Bush, who confirmed it all for me. After the phone call Richard and I went to a pottery class and he stood behind me and guided my hands while I sculpted a vase. I swear, it's all true.

Trump needs to win so we can clean house on all these agencies, starting with the FBI.
