In other words, they know when they are shooting themselves in the foot. Have they been reduced to vying for the future Tramp propaganda machine? Democracy indeed does die in darkness.

Unfortunately, because too many Americans are morons and the mainstream media is run by billionaires who want to protect their ill-gotten money, almost nobody is informed enough to know those reports were bullshit.
