As I await the kickoff of the Patriots - Bills game today it has been

Go to MSNBC and see Joy Reid and her progressive liberal guests risking
apoplexy as they continue to rant and rave about "Russia, Russia,
Russia" and other anti-Trump, anti-Republican issues.Â* Somebody is going
to end up blowing a fuse pretty soon, especially with the new topic of
Trump's success in getting the tax bill passed through the Senate.

Oh, yes, FoxNews is also demonstrating their bias.Â* But it's different.
The discussions are upbeat, optimistic and forward thinking.

I much prefer the latter.



Forgot to mention:

It's interesting but not surprising that the talking points by every
guest and host on MSNBC are virtually identical, almost word for word,
the same comments made here by our resident chief progressive liberal
... Harry.

MSNBC and Fox are pretty much the same, just at the opposite ends of
crazy. They preach to their choir.
CNN leans left but they do seem to leave a little wiggle room for the
right. At least they have smart people. Zakaria is certainly far left
of center but at least he is not spitting when he talks like Matthews.


Watched Maddow the other evening. Daughter was having gall bladder
removed, and waiting room had her on the TV. Nothing but bias.



Watch her for about 10 minutes and you soon understand where Harry gets
all his conspiracy ideas.

Of course you do...you're in the bag for Trump and Fox is your network
for news.

Funny:Â* "Trump's success..."Â* Trump had nothing to do with getting the
Republican House and Senate to pass the GOP Tax Scam. The GOPers knew it
was do or die with their deep pockets donors. I doubt Trump has even
read or has the ability to read that 500-page monstrosity.



Not according to many GOP members in the House or Senate. Not all care
much for Trump but they give him credit for understanding economics and
for influencing many to vote for the tax bill.

Roman history was a high school thing but they do have these things
called books. You don't need a college ID or anything to read them.
These days they are online.

Actually Constantine was a thought provoking reference. He was emperor
at a time when Rome's finances were in the crapper. They were
monetizing their debts using bronze money with no real fiscal basis.
Their famous infrastructure was fraying around the edges. They were in
the midst of a political divide that split the empire. He had is own
Persian misadventure (AKA Iran) and the government was taken over by
Christians.

I thought Harry might get it ;-)

I don't think that is the case, but...it seems true enough for you.
