Quit spreading malicious conspiracy theories that have no basis in fact.
A Democratic Republic requires factual, unbiased news from honest reporting that's been scrutinized and approved for publication with time proven results.
Your news source is bogus and should be recognized for its malicious intent and banned.

Nothing from you except more B.S. You Dems don't even have the integrity to admit when you have been proven wrong. Lets see if you have enough decency to answer for this.
I am anxiously awaiting.

Are you too lazy to see if its true? If so then that means you are headed for the same abyss.

MeadowFields

I would not know how to begin "to see if it's true".
Please enlighten me how to gain confidence in that article you posted so that you can convince me it is indeed true.
Or are you too lazy to make the effort!
