    No - these institutions aren't discrediting themselves. What we've seen is a propaganda campaign on behalf of Trump that is usually reserved for despots in 3rd world countries.

    People shouldn't abdicate critical thought so easily. No one is making up their own mind anymore; it's all about circling the wagons to save a guy who truly cares about no one but himself. He doesn't have anyone's back like they have his.
    the fake news is absolutely discrediting themselves. Fuck, I even saw an article by SLATE the other day calling them out. They have already rushed to judgement countless times and have had to retract outright lies. As far as the 3 letter agencies, we've known forever they were corrupt and they are only being exposed even more these days. Our institutions have always been corrupt, you believe in a myth. This is the system we've always lived in, a fake democracy where the deep state is actually in control.

    Believe it or not, I do respect your POV on this, wrong as I think it is. Because I think you have generally always believed this - and you're not one of those who all of a sudden believes it, because Trump needs the cavalry.

    But it's real X-Files, conspiracy stuff you believe. It's not really possible, at least as a coordinated effort. Are there some in every institution who are power-hungry and have hidden agendas? Probably, but it's hardly some sort of shadow government. We'd have heard about it w/ the #'s involved - there would be leaks, deathbed confessions, posthumous memoirs & revelations. What you suggest logically isn't possible.

    I don't consider a media source fake news if it makes an error and then corrects it when shown the light. Fake news media are the ones who knowingly publish/broadcast bullshit and stand by it. Fox is one such, so is Breitbart, so is Daily Kos. I used to watch CNN daily. I don't consider them fake news, but I do see them now as a tabloid like the National Enquirer and no longer a trustworthy source for information. Their infatuation with all things Twittler has driven them right off the rails.

    The MSM only retracts when they get caught.

    They are infested with hacks.

    They're infested with the desire to make money overriding everything. That's why they're all turning into the National Enquirer.

    The FBI
    The CIA
    The remainder of the intelligence community
    Large portions of the judicial branch

    We knew this was who Trump was. We knew that nothing else mattered to him, aside from himself. He has left nothing but a trail of broken reputations and ruined careers in his wake. But the fact that the GOP has become his willing accomplice in all of this is, at least to me, surprising. NeverTrump was a temporary moment of clarity for many on the right, and has since been traded for political expediency and temporary gain.

    The Republican Party is currently making its bed. Yeah – they’ll have to lie in it. For much longer than they think, and certainly well past the time that this weird, inexplicable spell passes and they see Trump for the reckless, out-of-control and purely self-interested id that he is.
    Boo fucking hoo

    The FBI and media discredit themselves

    Yet, YOU find it so easy to do in every post you make......even when the truth is so easy to see.....
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.
