bighart's JournalInvestigative Journalism sorely needed
I am so frustrated by the lack of any real investigative journalism that seems to be going on right now.
It would seem to me that some journalist, or journalist wanna-be, would see the current situation as ripe for some serious investigative journalism and be hard at work investigating corroborating or disproving statements by the administration and it's congressional enablers and digging through all the figurative and literal dumpsters to find out what these people are all working so hard to conceal.
All we seem to be getting is partisan BS from the "journalist" who support or oppose the dolt in the oval office.
All I seem to see is what I call "bias confirmation" journalism that seeks only to validate one side or the other with little to no regard for the real truth and the deeper story.
A journalist with tenacity, good instincts and a willingness to "go there" would be a real plus for the nation right about now.
I have never spent any time looking at free-republic until recently
OMF'ingG those people are truly CRAZY.
Things they believe
1) dolt45 is the greatest genius that has ever been born and everyone is jealous of his power.
2) Everything is a conspiracy
3) The US can do whatever it wants whenever and wherever in the world we want to without consequences
4) Every problem this country has is the fault of Barack Obama (if it isn't his fault it's Bill or Hillory Clinton)
5) Any facts that are reported that run counter to their beliefs are lies from the "fake news"
6) Spicer is the bestest press secretary like ever
Shocking things I read there
1) Trump should "abolish congress and appoint himself king"
2) In regards to judges and the travel ban "Time to start decorating lamp posts with these dooshes"
3) We should engage in "total destruction via Preemptive nuclear strike" to deal with North Korea
4) Multiple references to "revolution" if they don't get their way
It would be comical if it weren't truly scary.
Hey Dolt 45 "Just who the hell do you think you are?"
Fantastic Editorial
"I know, too, that you’re accustomed to being emperor of your own fiefdom. Must be nice. Your name on the wall, the paychecks, the side of the building. You tell people to make something happen, and it does. You yell at a problem, and it goes away. Nobody talks back. I can see how it would be hard to give that up.
But you did. You see, you’re no longer an emperor, Mr. So-Called President. You’re now what is called a “public servant” — in effect, an employee with 324 million bosses. And let me tell you something about those bosses. They’re unruly and loud, long accustomed to speaking their minds without fear or fetter. And they believe power must always answer to the people. That’s at the core of their identity."

Could the reign of Dolt 45 (saw that earlier and like it)
Spark a new, and much needed, interest in civics, political involvement and understanding of the how the government is SUPPOSED to function?
All of the crap this one and his team are pulling is prompting a lot of discussion on news broadcasts about how things are set up in the constitution such as the judiciary being a separate and independent branch of the government.
I wonder sometimes how many American voters actually comprehend how the system was intended to function and that the three branches of government are actually co-equal.
Just trying to find something to be positive about and this and the possible reemergence of actual investigative journalism are all I have so far.

Best Case Scenario, Heavy pressure from Congress for Trump to step down
Then what happens?
I mean I understand the succession plan and the who's and how's.
My question is about his rabid followers, what will they do?
They believe he is messianic and that everything that he or his mouthpieces tell them is true and accurate.
They believe anything negative that is reported or even just posted about twitler is bs, "fake news"
Based on the "conversations", and I use that term in very broadest context, I have seen on pee-republic they view every question and criticism of dear leader as treasonous.
They are, in many cases, armed to the teeth and spoiling for a fit against "dirty liberals"
I truly wonder what may happen if/when the shit hits the fan and some major scandal rightfully brings down the house of cards that is the pResident and the KGOP.
