We have a heel in The White House I’m going to riff a bit here-bear with me… I’m a fan of pro wrestling (I have a point here, don’t judge me) And in pro wrestling terms, Donald Trump is a heel.  I believe that part of the reason that the press and Congress have had trouble wrapping...	rebel6842	07/21/2019 10:07 PM	4	3

The MSNBC special on the Mueller Report shows the hidden biases of network ownership I just watched the MSNBC special on the Mueller Report, but I have to say I’m disappointed in what was left out, and their choice to give undue legitimacy to White House counterpoint. Ari Melber didn’t mention that the DOJ’s Office of Legal Council...	ProgToddNorCal	07/21/2019 07:22 PM	26	6
