Quit fucking crying little bitch.
Why would you say "supposedly lied" after they have admitted it? Never mind...
I'm pretty comfortable knowing you think HRC won. Do you get educated the same place as IZ? HRC is president and a house is not an asset.

You would think that you having trump on the ropes and all you would be in a better mood.
There is still a lying criminal fraud in the WH, and he has put at least one lying fraud on the Supreme Court.

Instant gratification is the norm. We stream movies on Netflix, we get 2-day shipping thanks to Amazon Prime, and when there’s a coup taking place in Turkey, our friends on Twitter make sure we know about it within minutes.
Netflix, Amazon, and Twitter are wonderful services. But our demand as consumers for more and more information delivered at faster and faster rates has brought about the 24-hour news outlets we have today.
What sells? Doom and gloom. That’s strange. We live amidst unprecedented prosperity. Why is this not news?
Instead of accepting these dreary reports as conventions, perhaps it’s better for us to ask ourselves, is the world really so hateful, violent, and full of graft as CNN and Fox News would have us believe? Why are these the stories that are being fed to us? Are we maybe a bit too hungry for them? How should we navigate the news in this era of instant gratification?

Orwell’s Animal Farm parodies Soviet propaganda:
On Sunday mornings Squealer, holding down a long strip of paper with his trotter, would read out to them lists of figures
proving that the production of every class of foodstuff had increased by two hundred percent, three hundred percent, or five hundred
percent, as the case might be. The animals saw no reason to disbelieve him, especially as they could no longer remember very clearly what conditions had been like before the Rebellion. All the same, there were days when they felt that they would sooner have had less figures and more food.
The point: In a totalitarian state, there’s a chasm between daily life and the media. Daily life is awful, but the media trumpets the glory of the status quo.
The West now has a comparable chasm between daily life and the media, but it goes in the opposite direction. Daily life is wonderful. Unless you actively hunt for outliers, you’re surrounded by well-fed, healthy, safe, comfortable people enjoying a cornucopia of amusement. The media, however, uses the vastness of the world to show us non-stop terror, hate, fear, brutality, and poverty - not just in the third World, but right here at home.--Bryan Caplan

Why would the media strive to make audiences doubt their own two eyes? In the Soviet Union, the explanation is obvious: The Party used its media monopoly to brainwash its citizens into accepting, if not relishing, their wretched existence.
It’s tempting to tell a mirror image story for the West: Hostile journalists seek to undermine a glorious world they hate.

But even if these cartoonish motives were operative, Western media is manifestly competitive, so you have to ask, “Why hasn’t competition stopped the brainwashing?” The only credible response is that media consumers like hearing about a world of terror, hate, fear, brutality, and poverty.
I can’t fathom why anyone would crave a daily dose of this intellectual poison, but see no other explanation for our Orwellian situation.

The Media and Trump Are Both to Blame for the Death of Truth
Julian Adorney and Sean Malone
The Washington Post recently criticized President Trump’s Tweet storm about being wiretapped, mocking his claims as baseless. They argue that he’s sowing dissent and making up facts to distract the media from important issues. The Post neglected to mention that the FBI and other agencies have been surveilling Trump’s advisors, or that in October the FBI obtained a warrant to wiretap Trump’s “associates.”
While the wiretaps were directed at those in Trump’s orbit rather than Trump himself, his accusations have more merit than the Post admits.
This is becoming a trend: the media is eroding its credibility both by publishing factually incorrect stories about Trump and by accusing him of lying even when he’s telling the truth. In short, they’re committing the same heresies against truth that Trump is.
