The Unredacted News

Stormy Daniels’ husband files for divorce on grounds of adultery and seeks a restraining order. So much for the hooker with the heart of gold, a.k.a., the Democrats version of Mata Hari.

Meanwhile, North Korea is filmed dismantling a major nuclear site. As disturbing as this is to Liberals, hope springs eternal, as the press and the Left pray that N. Korea’s dictator is just kidding.
“Maybe Kim Jong-un will bomb a small American city.  Hopefully, a Red state, so we can keep hope alive and hopefully win back the House in the mid-terms. What’s a few hundred thousand dead with such an important election at stake.” say the Democrats and the media. 


As if that wasn't enough, President Trump tweeted some mean things about Iraq, who made threats of war against America. In response, the press harangued; “Who’s Donald Trump think he is, anyway? The president of the United States? I mean, just because Iraq is the greatest state sponsor of terror in the world, is no reason to be mean. Why can’t Trump be more like "Our president," Barack Obama, who gave Iraq billions and billions and billions of dollars, and then threw the doors to Guantanamo wide open, releasing some of the world’s worst terrorists, so they can kill more innocent civilians, especially, Americans? Why can’t Trump be more like that? Huh?” a dumbfounded press asked. (a special emphasis should be placed on the 1st half of that one word.)

President Obama, in a rare moment of candor, openly acknowledged this was likely to happen, but did it anyway?

For my Leftist pals, though, no worries. To regain your composure, all you have to do is tune into MSNBC, CNN, or a plethora of other media outlets who will spin the news like a centrifuge, until it comes out clean and says exactly what they want it to say. Then just make a joke about FOX News, claim the people who disagree with you are Russians (or, at least, Russian bots,) muddy the water with innuendo, and all will be well. At that point, you can return to your cognitive safe space.

If this seems too mean, imagine how I and others feel every damned day as we’re forced to endure lies so thick that only the truly thick-headed would believe them, regarding literally, half the country? If you can imagine that, maybe, just maybe, a rational conversation is possible.

However, as long as the other half of the country thinks that President Trump’s private meeting with Vlad Putin, for up to (Two whole hours) is treasonous, but, Hillary Clinton taking $135 million dollars from the Russians for her “Personal foundation,” while she was Secretary of State, resulting in the sale of 20% of our uranium stock for Vladimir Putin to control—If that’s OK—I guess you could argue that finding common ground is unlikely.
