Media: STOP McConnell & GOP games & Lies

The Media should be called out, and boycotted- network by network, publication by publication and a listing kept and published if they do not put McConnell & the GOP’s feet to the fire for:

Obstructing the US Congress

Lying about the Congressional processes

Congressional Ethics Abuses

Using the filibuster as leverage/hostage

It is time that the people put a stop to the Media’s stupidity. Not all the media is blinded and glosses over the games McConnell is playing, but most do.

It is also time that reporter’s in the Press briefings stop the “gotcha” questions and hold the GOP responsible instead of trying to gain a storyline.

Come on, after 4 years of Media groveling to Trump and being afraid to stand up for the truth and ask the tough questions it is time they showed some backbone because a lot of the craziness of the last 4 years could have been prevented if the Media had stopped giving Trump & his Administration so much coverage.

I am just tired of the Media not doing its job. Things need to change.

A man accused of groping a woman during a Southwest Airlines flight invoked President Trump in his defense.

Can this counrty get any weirder? A 42 year old Tampa, Florida man is accused of groping a woman’s breast twice on a flight Sunday flight from Houston to Albuquerque. The woman was asleep and woke because she felt someone’s hand on her right side near her breast- "the right part of her right breast," the complaint said.

According to the FBI, Bruce Michael Alexander, 49 didn't admit to touching the woman, but after he was placed in handcuffs, he said "that the President of the United States says it's ok to grab women by their private parts," the complaint said.

IMO, Trump is a real bad influence on our society and has no respect for women. Alexander He could face up to two years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Rebekah Woodford is the parent that spoke out on the issue after a school board meeting and I quote: “"This is not a race issue," said Rebekah Woodford, a white mother of two Spring Valley graduates and one current student. "This is, 'I want to be defiant and not do what I'm told.' The child is the one who can choose what to do."

First off-I am in Florida (please stop laughing )Our Governor Rick Scott & Legislators chose not to have a Healthcare exchange-they HATE anything President Obama does and will punish the citizens of the state for voting Blue the last 2 presidential elections by denying us an exchange.

This is the same Governor that turned down 2 billion for a High speed Rail System because he dislikes the President.
Can you say more than 30,000 jobs along the I4 corridor? Continue on below the orange thingy.

This is no joke-the residents of Baja, Arizona (Pima County) are moderate liberals that say they are deeply frustrated and have had enough of the Republican led legislature passing extremist legislation and like Maine, that broke from Massachusetts in 1820 they
want to secede from Arizona and become the 51st state.
They have 2,300 supporters on Facebook and 1 million residents.
Maybe the GOP & the Tea party will wake up and smell the coffee when they see progressives fighting back the crazy.

"All of this is extremist legislation, and some is reminiscent of nullification bills leading to the Civil War," he said. "We don't want to be part of that."

Some of the "crazy laws" enacted are:
Arizona has cut organ transplant coverage for Medicaid recipients
Requires police to check immigration status if they have "reasonable suspicion
A Senate bill that would allow Arizona to "nullify," or ignore, any federal law
a panel of lawmakers deemed unconstitutional
