You can try to control my perceptions, but you gotta be a whole lot smarter than me to do that, and that’s a small percentage, none of whom seem to be Trumpistas
Except that it turns out that the email scandal was the one scandal Republicans trumped up against Clinton that turned out to be real, and Trump University is being sued by many of its alumnae for fraud. Those two items were actually real, not fake.
Just noticed on TV that the Trump goes to the head of the line to vote. No waiting for big shots.. Perhaps if those big shots had to wait like the common folk.. the voting system would be improved.
To paraphrase the great H.L. Mencken—no one ever lost a dime underestimating the taste of the American public. We get the fakery we deserve in this age of so-called Reality TV and un-social media postings.
This one cartoon did more than 10 major news networks could do in two years. If one thing has come out of this campaign for me is I would prefer more fact-checking in the media. The kind of crap spewed with no evidence that was allowed to run because they have a 24-hour news cycle did not help promote a more informed voter or a better voting process.
One of the many great things about the election result is that all those who tried so hard to bolster Private Citizen Hillary and weaken President-Elect Trump like this artist utterly, totally, and completely failed. This is wonderful!
One of the reasons I voted for Trump was as a rebuke to the media who needs to remember that the real job of a free press is to hold ALL our politicians accountable and work for us, the citizenry. The free press is supposed to influence government by keeping it honest, not trying to influence the public to support a political party.
Given the vigor that much of the media, like the artist of this piece had for propping up Private Citizen Hillary, I had no faith that they would do anything other than protect her regardless of what she did. That is unacceptable.
At least with President Elect Trump, I can expect the media, and this artist, to endlessly be scrutinizing his decisions and actions and even though they will probably be doing it in order to get a Democratic President in 2020, at least indirectly, they will be doing their job, since most of these so called members of the “free” press don’t seem to have the ethical fortitude to rise to what they should be doing, working for us, the citizens, not for the DNC.
This just in: Comey says “FBI has found 2 million more emails related to Hillary Clinton’s email scandal”. Trump says" “Put her in Jail!” “Oops”, Comey comments at hurriedly arranged follow up news conference, “I forgot that the election is over. My bad”.

There are lots of witnesses to Trump’s cocaine fueled orgies.
