Chaotic Confusion

Submitted by ub on

Where does the buck really stop, folks? The Dow Jones industrials keep falling more than 1,150 points, making it the largest single-day point drop, erasing its gains for the year. What is @POTUS saying?

Is there one person, or any group responsible for creating chaos and confusion? @POTUS took credit when the market was up, so why is he not saying anything now? @realDonaldTrump regularly touts stock market gains. Why didn't he mention the sell-off at today's Ohio speech? Is he clueless?

Meanwhile, how has the party of law and order become the party hostile to federal law enforcement Why is it attacking its own agencies and intelligence community? Will intelligence agencies stop confiding to Congress? https://www.apnews.com/c9b8a5b1f58f49baa14e815059ec18ec

Bait and Switch

Whatever happened to Mexico will pay for the wall... I'll drain the swamp and so many other so-called bait and switch moves... Has he hired the best people? Are these actions intended to build up or to destroy?

There have been massive firings from people chosen by @POTUS along with an amazing wave of Congressmen who are choosing to retire. Additionally, there is a lack of stability as one day its one thing and the next moment it is another. It appears that under the present administration, being a public servant is a not an easy job, and it’s not likely to improve.

There is no denying that experience, knowledge or mastery of any event or subject matter gained through involvement in or exposure to it is most valuable. Relying on an experienced individual is always a great bet.

The rights of a free press and the ability of journalists to do their jobs should never be up for debate. Every news story should answer 5 W and H. These are often mentioned in journalism news style.

In light of the new major motion picture release by Fox called The Post, I recommend the following films for each and every person who is interested in journalism.

Actions over the past few days have undermined the right’s Trump-Russia conspiracy theory and its headed in the wrong direction.

Furthermore, a Nunes authored Congressional memo contradicts a right-wing belief about what prompted the investigation into the President’s ties to Russia.

Inconsiderate?

During this highly contagious season, while hospitals are overflowing with the Flu epidemic as it spreads unabated, how would you characterize a neighbor in your building who walks around without shoes or socks and totally barefoot on a cold tiled floor lobby, while sneezing and spreading germs all over the place but the pandemic shows few signs of easing and this person wears no mask, has no tissues, or shows any remorse?

No No Nunes

Why does The US House of Representatives top Democrat want the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee to be removed from his post?

Devin Gerald Nunes is a California Congressman who penned a controversial and classified memo released under a never-before-used House rule, which claims that the FBI did not identify one of its sources in a FISA warrant, to surveil former Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page as working on a dossier funded indirectly by Hillary Clinton.
