respectuflly, with that criteria, I would never have been able to believe Firewalker was a thing or that Obama and Holder covered that whole criminal act up.
I would never have been able to believe that Clinton and the Obama admin where negligent or worse about Benghazi.
I would not have been able to determine that the Dems didn't even know what was in the Affordable Healthcare Act when they voted on it and any other number of screw ups or intentional bad actions from the previous lot - including the fact that Clinton's Arab Spring foolishness was the key catalyst for the rise of ISIS and Obama's gross negligence in allowing not just for that to happen, but also for the unforgiveable rise of Iran in the region in Iraq and Syria and the deeper entrenchment of Russia.
And let's not forget the ever creeping closer of Turkey to Russia which is not a good thing if you feel our ability to be local in the region is important, because all we'd be left with is our 'good friends' the Saudi's who like to hacksaw their journalists when they're not busy funding the Taliban and enabling them to fly planes into our buildings and killing a couple thousand of our citizens on a fine September morning.
Those with security clearance do leak and they leak to reporters and that's a pain in the ass of those who would rather have their fuck ups kept quiet regardless of whether they're a R or D.
Scrutiny of the govt, regardless of the admin, is a fact of a free society with a free press and yes, secrets get out.
With all that said, I fully, completely and totally accept that the press lies (Zimmerman's doctored 911 call), that they editorialize the facts to push an agenda (it's not gang violence, or black on black violence, it's gun violence. it's not suicide, it's not the failings of the VA to support ill veterans, it's gun violence. It's not shitty parenting, failure of social services or political correctness that has raised entitled, rage ridden kids who kill, it's gun violence).
But occasionally, the smoke and the fire match.
