About ten years ago, we saw exposed, a radical democrat propaganda internet list called JournoList, a secret Google group of media influencers who made up the headlines for the next day’s news, in places like the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the U.K. Guardian. This is why you hear the exact same words over and over. JournoList was a private Google Group forum for discussing politics and the news media with 400 left-leaning journalists, democrats, academics and others. Ezra Klein created the online forum in February 2007 while blogging at The American Prospect and shut it down on June 25, 2010 amid wider public exposure. Journalists later pointed out various off-color statements made by members of the list denigrating conservatives. That was an actual conspiracy to centralize the U.S. media. Chances are that it is still living in some secret Google group today, because the “mainstream” media are still singing from the same hymnal. But how does the democrat Barry/Joe Gang control the propaganda gang? Obama/Biden has a small democrat cult called “the beach group” running lawfare campaigns around the country to undermine everything Americans believe in. Maybe ordinary Americans can pull a little lawfare on these thugs who are detroying our country right now.

Its worth remembering Trump never once went to correspondents dinner while he was in office because he was too thin skinned to sit in there and hear jokes at his expense. Not only did it show how pathetic he is as a person, but it was a missed opportunity for him to stand in front of people and endear himself showing some level of charisma and that he too has a sense of humor probably cracking a few jokes of his own.

Comedy skills? You have to be joking. His jokes (and the writing thereof) were mostly cringeworthy, as were the so called "comedian's" jokes. Few today know how to approach comedy and really do it justice. Little if any of today's comedy will be looked at in five years, let alone the fifty or seventy-five years or longer that GREAT comedy achieves. If anyone thinks ANY of this was high comedy, he needs real help. Today, bad is good and mediocre is great. The only joke that sinks in daily IS Joe Biden.
