Don't think I have said that. A person has to read both to get what each side is saying.

The news that Rod Rosenstein testified he would not have signed the FISA warrant if he knew of the problems with it IS on the CNN web page. Now you need the patience to read a lot of other stuff first, but it is in the article. Another difference in the network coverage that people only reading CNN would miss.

Sure, other presidents went out of their way to make sure the people they appointed opposed them!

Sure, that is why they surround themselves with appointees that disagree. Find that on CNN?

The president and sec of def are talking about IF. That is enough for some press to scream headlines and upset some political people. Close to being fake news. We will see.

No, no! You are not wired to take in opposing view points. The small amount you see here overloads your circuits.

We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children."

"...past generations that bled to defend our promise..." This is language from a general that the Dems do not like, usually.
Trump wanted a smaller footprint in the ME, Mattis wanted to stay in Syria. We left. Mattis said he would not be the general that lost to ISSIS.
So years later, have we lost to ISSIS?
The Dem support for Mad Dog seems to be that Trump and him disagreed. Is this wrong? There has been a lot from the liberal side complaining about Mattis, until now.

What a comic strip. Are we sure Trump is not paying for this?
