[yahoo.com] CNN hires fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Kudos in order!

WonderWartHog99 comments on Aug 23, 2019:

## With McCabe's background, I expect CNN to expose more scandals than ever.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Aug 25, 2019:

@St-Sinner > Trump has the determination, perseverance and a long view on how to get things done. Nope. Where's our wall? Feeling trade wars hurting farmers and consumers alike yet?

I'm really disappointed in a lot of people on this site.

@FrayedBear >belief like a heart beating does not require either. Belief that is that can not be questioned is the folly of the great unwashed. I often explain my position in that I'm asking the "dumb" question for things that go unchallenged. Tends to piss people off to ask the "dumb" question because then they have to defend their position. A person who can not defend their opinion has no more right to it than the person who orders a beer and is unprepared to pay for it. When almost everyone assures me they believe in God, the "dumb" question that the intelligent ask is "Why"? That, me bucko, is why I get thrown out of so many message bases. I'm dangerous when I'm making sense.

There is no thing as "unbiased news." One picks the news service which caters to one's views. I like to think by following several sources I can determine the closest version of the truth. My homies watch NBC, dumb little shits that they are.

@St-Sinner CNN has never been banned from Canada. Fox News has been banned from Canada. Fox News is not registered as a news corporation. CNN is registered as a news corporation. One way I determine if it's fake news is comparing news sources from each other. If it is way, way out there like Breitbart, it's a fake news organization. NY Time closely agrees with other news corporations.

@daylily Trump sued Colbert (unsuccessfully) early on. Colbert's monologues are almost entirely about Trump since then. Other late night comics have followed his lead, pointing out how absurd our orange baboon is. They provide a much needed gap ignored by most of broadcast news media.

@Marionville He was trying something different: interracial sex. I've yet to have title to a human being that included sexual rights and privileges, fathering a bunch children in the process. Not that I plan to because of all the wrong reasons. It would be different. These days in the US nobody impregnates slaves to increase the value of their estate. However, there are **still** parts of the world where that's possible. I'm not moving anywhere near those places as tempting as it sounds. Logically, he was following his own advice. There's nothing about ethnics in that quote.

@Appleriver Let's put it this way. I know it's what his cult Christians think he meant. Let's not put it that way. Instead let us say that because the prosperity cult of Christians who believe that wealth indicates favor from God see him as so favored that his word are holy. The irony lies in that Christ lived in poverty and taught the virtues of poverty.

In Texas, I cracked up when they started listing when pedestrians have the right of way. It suggested under certain conditions you could run over them. >I don’t think a public reminder is the end of the world. Public reminders say "We'un think you dumb rascals have the attention span of a gold fish." It annoys me because it doesn't align with my childhood theory of being surrounded with intelligent people.
