It was so corny that these two liberal news outlets both posted a story at the time Trump boarded Air Force one.

Sometimes you simply only have anonymous sources to go on. It's not a case of "Do the invoices exist?" or "Is there an x-ray?" Journalists have to make judgments. Poor judgments will result in those newspapers failing. The fact that the New York Times has been going since 1851 and has a robust investigative record suggests the paper generally gets it right.

There will obviously be a few Trumpsters or Hillaryheads commenting on every article but I doubt they're investigative reporters.

I don't care how long it's been going, it still needs to provide solid proof, I believe these so called memos have not yet surfaced from the other day. But even that story was garbage given that Comey testified only weeks ago that the FBI, in his experience, which means his tenure with the department, has never been instructed to halt an investigation.

The memos might come up on Wednesday. Anonymous sources won't go away, it's too hard to get news otherwise, they're common in both right and left wing media.

So, why didn't they come clean on the true aims of the Bilderberg group? They were at the meetings. They were thanked by David Rockefeller for hiding the Bilderberg true agenda.

This is veering way off topic but I think you'll find he was being ironic.

So, do the Bilderberg Group run the Illuminati, or is it the other way around?

And does Trump run the Shadow Brokers or is that too the other way around?

Pity you are unable to process the idea they came to some understanding before they landed, perhaps the Saudis warming to Women's rights which is surely progress from two years ago? :rolleyes:

Never mind I suppose the $300 Billion Arms deal they just made means the Saudi King was not that upset with FLOTUS.

Christ Mick you really are blinkered. The bloke tweeted a snipe at the previous presidents wife and then his wife did exactly the same.

So bloody what? Is life that boring for you, head stuck in the past ?

As I said, perhaps they came to some arrangement. Nothing to do with being blinkered. I don't have the time to be blinkered.

Also try not to be blasphemous, there are Devout Christians about this forum who will not appreciate it.

Blasphemous would be anything that shows Trump in a bad light Mick ;). i.e every time he tweets/speaks...
