It's Now Pure Circus And Nothing Else

For months we saw Trump suck up most of the air time by abusing other candidates, outright lies, or saying idiotic things. He won the Republican Primary because he was the best at impressing hate filled, fear filled Fox News Junkies with his constant abuse and false promises. Now we move on to the general, and it is the same old crap. For months Trump and his surrogates got to spew their nonsense without being challenged at all. Now "the media" is actually pushing back a little. Now for the point of my OP.

It is now about the circus, not discussing issues. We get two "Trump People" and two "Hillary Supporters" and they talk about the news of the day.

The Hillary People say something, and then the Trump People lie, or re-direct and lay out insane attacks, and then they get called on it by whoever, and it becomes a circus. Repeat.

Understand?

It's like Crossfire full time, and it is sickening.

Pure circus.

No integrity, no honesty, just using the media to hurl baseless attacks, go on gish gallops, and tell outright lies about everything, and get their twisted nonsense message out to the Average American who are half numb because of all the circus.

Where is there any respect for truth, or honesty? Reality? Journalism?

Where?

Nowhere.

The circus is really getting sickening.

I repeat.

The circus is really getting sickening.
