    Everyone seems to predict different outcomes. What say you?


    My DCS (deal coming soon): Within 2 weeks we will see the first indictments specifically related to the DNC hack and knowledge of the emails before the release.

    My prediction: nothing will make a difference or matter. Nothing anyone does matters anymore. Unless Trump is caught on tape murdering someone nothing will change.

    He tweets screaming misspelled words about tv personalities and no one even cares anymore.

    disagree ....this election was a serious wake up call....young folks need to start voting...candidates win with 19 percent of the vote these days from people under 30...need to bring some younger officials to govt and get the old farts out of the system that have been the problem all along.

    We elected a guy who ran a reality tv show and literally said on tape “I just grab em by the pussy. They’re married I don’t care.”

    I agree with the bolded.

    Voters under 30 don't need a wake up call.
    We're told to shut up and fall in line.

    The kids who walked out of class for 17 minutes were told something similar.
    'Shut up and get back to class'.

    People will wake up one day realizing the divisions they tried so hard to instill in their children.
    Just don't mean squat to young people.

    14 years ago: Martha Stewart jailed because her financial adviser told her bad news was coming and she sold $230K in stock.

    Today: Carl Icahn dumped ~$32M in stock in a company reliant on steel imports in the days before Trump announced steel tariffs

    Nothing matters.

    I’ve been extremely impressed with the younger generation lately. And not just those with whom I agree politically. The young man from the school shooting who was against gun restrictions also spoke well and voiced his opinion well. I think the upcoming generation is going to be more proactive and less likely to fall for the same BS to which the older generations has fallen prey.

    I hope they bring news gathering back to a place where it’s not left or right leaning but just reporting the news. Ultimately that is on us as a society though because we pay more attention to the radical then the factual.

    I think that ship kinda sailed, nationally. When it comes to mass media, someone, somewhere is going to be editing the thousands of "newsworthy" things that happen every day in every town across America and the world and distilling it into an hour, or a 2-minute clip, or whatever. That/those editor(s) are going to be the arbiters of the world and national news you see. For a while, you could trust that by reading, say, Washington Post, Washington Times, WSJ, London Times and the IBJ you could get a pretty good flavor of every big story with every slant looked into. And then get your local paper for who went to whose 12th birthday party or that the stoplights on Wiggins Avenue need to be repaired. I don't think you can do that anymore, when even CNN/NYT/WaPo are deliberately burying stories that don't further their agenda in the name of ratings. Hell, I can't even trust Al-Jazeera anymore after the Arab Spring.

    It's really not a new thing in the media.....even going back to the Wild West they fabricated stories of hero cowboys and outlaws...the National Enquirer has done it blatantly forever...Hoover faked his participation in arrests....Nixon lied about many, many things during Vietnam...this I saw first hand...I've always felt everyone needs to filter the news spin cycle and make their own sense of it...or not. I've always felt truth was a traffic light...red, yellow and green....follow the green and you'll keep moving forward
