Don't you think it's pretty crazy that there's a mainstream news network out there that is so deliberately misleading 24/7? I'm sure that a lot of people who were going around parroting the Dems'/CNN's collusion theory and their Dr Ford allegations, etc are feeling pretty foolish right about now.

How long ago did half of the posters here know that there was no collusion between Trump and Russia? How long ago did Van Jones say that Russian collusion was "a big nothingburger"? Why was he only right about it that one time, when he was off-air, and the on-air story has been so entirely different this whole time? Why aren't they having a fit, wondering how they were 100% wrong for the last 2+ years? Shouldn't they be apologizing profusely to America for getting it 100% wrong, 60 times a day for 2 plus years? Now their story is "Trump needs to be impeached for trying to get a tool like Mueller fired!" LMAO, how the hell is that a thing? Did you see how much of an incompetent boob he was yesterday? It's like he has dementia. I honestly wouldn't let him run a taco stand, let alone a government agency. Batshit crazy is seeing all kinds of evidence day after day and pretending not to notice, or even worse, regurgitating the things you see there. Can you honestly say that you've never caught CNN in a lie? I'd love for you to say that you've watched an hour straight of CNN before and didn't catch them on a single lie. I didn't need someone to tell me CNN was lying to me, I figured it out as soon as I started watching more than 5 minutes of it a month.

Greg Gutfeld is brilliant. Jesse Watters is actually a really knowledgeable guy. Ellen Companga and Geraldo Rivera are awesome. You'll learn a lot if you watch The Five eyeball. You need to step away from the firehose of stupidity over at CNN. FWIW there's a tall redheaded woman on The Five sometimes, Dagan or something is her name, I don't usually even watch if she's there.

Is Israel a lot like Nazi Germany? Does the fact that America boycotted them have much to do with a boycott of Israel? Where's the equivalency? I could say "The US carpet bombed cities in Germany in response to their attacks against other European countries. The Palestinians have been launching rocket and mortar attacks on Israel now for decades." Did I just make the case for the US to start dropping bombs? Quote “Americans boycotted Nazi Germany in response to dehumanization, imprisonment, and genocide of Jewish people.” Should America completely boycott Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Qatar, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Oman, Syria...?

Or you could just ask other Canadian viewers, especially around American election season. Incredibly, a foreign cable news network (CNN) dominated Canadian news networks in October 2016: Quote For the final presidential debate on Oct. 19, CNN saw its share of Canadian viewers climb above the 1.5 million mark in overnight estimates. Broken down into half-hour periods, CNN pulled an estimated 1.2, 1.3, 1.5 and 1.1 million viewers between the hours of 9:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. ET. That dwarfs the overnight estimates registered by CBC News Network, which drew 428,000, 400,000, 300,000 and 194,000 on the same day and times. Further behind was CTV News Channel, clocking in at 112,000, 117,000, 125,000 and 108,000 estimated viewers. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/cnn-gets-big-boost-in-canada-from-coverage-of-presidential-election/article32677306/ President Trump and all things related to Trump have dominated Canadian news media for years now, and will continue to do so. 1 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

She said: Quote The right to boycott is deeply rooted in the fabric of our country,” said Tlaib, the daughter of Palestinian immigrants, before noting, “Americans boycotted Nazi Germany in response to dehumanization, imprisonment, and genocide of Jewish people.” She also made reference to boycotts against apartheid South Africa. For your edification: Those are two sentences, said back to back, which were being used to justify/validate the BDS movement. The statement made in the first sentence is predicated on the example provided in the second sentence. Sentence 1) "The right to boycott is deeply rooted in the fabric of our country.” That's a completely valid statement which no one would argue against. Sentence 2) “Americans boycotted Nazi Germany in response to dehumanization, imprisonment, and genocide of Jewish people.” That's an actual example of a boycott, and it's the truth. So she's using that statement and that example to make the case that boycotting products/companies/countries is justified under certain conditions. That's totally valid. But she's using an example that does not apply at all to the BDS movement. Let's talk about Johnny, who lives in Florida. He's 18 now. He once threw a ping pong ball at his mom in a fit of anger, and he is accused of pushing a girl in a line up for freezies at his school. He was also accused of grabbing Chelsea's butt and his girlfriend Laura said that he reached into her top when they were making out, and that she didn't say he could go that far. While talking about Johnny's case, the local DA who just happens to be named WC Mann, says: "The death penalty is still legal in several States in America and Florida is one of them. Ted Bundy lived in Florida and was given the death penalty for his serial attacks on women." By your logic, WC Mann's statement is right on point.
