Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

[orly]

Finners is pure legend. I don't know how he finds the energy.

He's brilliant isn't he? There's a couple of people who have completely lost it trying to beat him.

why wasnt leftist media or obama concerned about hacking when FBI stated that Clintons home made server was hacked by several foreign agencies. why wasnt obama outraged when china hacked FDIC http://money.cnn.com/2016/07/13/technology/china-fdic-hack/

IF this alledged hacking even happened, who is to blame, Obamas administration...in the end.

I always find the notion that the American press is leftist or 'liberal' a bit bemusing. There's an excellent book by Chomsky called manufacturing consent that pretty much blows this notion out the water. Well worth a read.

Anyways. Sorry. Carry on
