Trump Campaign to Sue CNN over Pro-Impeachment Bias

They have the goods on the Democrats.

Trump is a fighter.

So long CNN. We will not miss you.

God, but how I loved CNN in 1986. But the CNN today is not the CNN of 1986 and I had to say goodbye a long, long time ago.

Anon, I too recall the days when CNN meant something. Now I pass on by and wait for tomorrow to get what too often is the correct story.

This screening robot needs new glasses. Or it's sniffing something illegal.

The UN has a slave state, a genocidal Muslim tyranny, and a murderous socialist tyranny on its Human Rights Council. And the only qualification for a seat is who kills and oppresses the most people, and violates the most human rights.

UN Watch is calling for a campaign to remove Venezuela. But the next review will inevitably condemn the human rights violations of America and Israel, while praising Venezuela for its commitment to social justice.

INSANE: Bitter Twice-Failed Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton Accuses Tulsi Gabbard of Being a ‘Russian Asset’

I so hope the Democrats replace Slow Joe, who suffers from dementia, with insane Hillary.


Democrats are so whack-a-doodle.

"Clinton went after Gabbard while appearing on the Campaign HQ podcast hosted by Barack Obama’s former campaign manager David Plouffe."

This just not Hillary. This is David Plouffe too. Did Plouffey tell her that she was off the rails of reality? So he must be insane too.
Or is it normal behavior for an interviewer to say nothing when a nationally or internationally ranked Democrats starts accusing, The president, the Green Party Candidate for President and a sitting US congresswoman and veteran of being Russian spies.

3RD Time is the charm Democrats. Run that POS again!
