War on Truth and Justice

Submitted by ub on

There is a war on truth and justice, where some members in our government may have become complicit. The most recent battle has POTUS Trump and his administration opening up a new front in the war on the rule of law. First, judges were attacked, then FBI, then DOJ and now the World Court? What’s going on here folks?

Now, journalist Bob Woodward is a liar, according to Trump, who opens up on the famed Watergate reporter with both barrels after he says the president is waging 'war on truth' and 'detached from the reality' of his job https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6151063/Trump-attacks-Woodward… https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/09/10/woodward_trump_book_…
