G. Gordon Liddy called Maureen Dean a hooker.

Imagine the meltdowns when Trump really gets rolling.

It’s only been a month with virtually no Cabinet.

Just wait .....

Just read about a little boy born with very little brain who grew one.

Now an article from a man born with a normal brain used to spew scum.

you should have seen the panel a few minutes ago on CNN. Just because WaPo’s Berstein said it (and on CNN) -— apparently it is the gospel truth.

I suppose “... that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic...” from the Oath of Allegiance is setting the country up for a dictatorship.

Looks like President Trump needs to double down again right on top of fools like this.

Well, I guess instead of “saying he shouldn’t have said it,” a more accurate report would have worded more like “saying he wouldn’t have said it if he knew he’d be identified.”

Great Minds Think Alike: over at Legal Insurrection, someone asked who's next after Nixon. To which I replied, before reading your comment: "How about Genghis Khan? They say he was pretty tough on MNN: the Mongolian News Network 😉"

“Dean and his wife, who now live in Southern California, are still suing Colodny, Gettlin and Liddy, who has endorsed the notion that Maureen Dean was a prostitute.”

“Dean’s wife, Maureen Biner Dean, had been a roommate and close friend of a woman who headed a ring of Washington, D.C., prostitutes. That information was locked inside the DNC office.”

Carl Bernstein - One of the primary tools used by the Mediacracy to perform a media coup on a President they wanted to bring down.

In a realistic history, he would be treated as an evil tool of evil elites.

Not a single one of these bigwigs could stand to take the attacks they’ve thrown at Trump since day one. It’s ok as long as it’s to the person they don’t like.... if it was obama, they’d be the one yelling another tune.

Amazing.. they don’t mention how obama called the news media if they even tried to print something anti obama... he took care of any dissent... behind the backs.. and smiled on camera as if he was a good guy.. obama interviews and questions were so mild it was laughable... they fell at his feet... and that makes them really small people who obeyed their master ... the same ones criticizing Trump now. Those who worship idols, such as a low life obama, are below the pole in sense and intelligence. He lied and they didn’t care... It makes it real hard to take their anti Trump attitude now.. real hard!!!

**Hitler and Stalin also used the phrase “enemy of the people” about the media**

Similar to hitler and stalin.... who were dictators... such as obama...
It was obama who had the media by the tail... he used threats and intimidation... the IRS and any dirt he had on any media person.. he controlled them... evidently they thought that was okay. They came before him for an interview and wreaked with worship... gads it was bad seeing them crawl...

Trump is “leading a demagogic attack on the institutions of free democracy.”

Hey Carl, nobody voted for journalists so get off your high horse. Trump, on the other hand, won an election to get where he is. And he gets just as much access to the first amendment as you and your propaganda writers get.

Investigative reporter my ass. The FBI decided to get rid of Nixon and via Deep Throat, led these guys by the nose to everything they “uncovered”.

Nixon was my second commander-in-chief. He sent me a nice form letter after I left active duty in late 1971. My mother got his autograph in the early ‘60’s. Nixon was too much a gentlemen. The tapes should have been erased. The Plumbers should have been put to better uses. Like Liddy and Martinez taking out Woodward and Bernstein. Putin style. The WPost and all the wanabees are trying to create the spirit of Watergate. Karma has prevailed as the wicked bitch that was a young minion on the destroy-Nixon team just got kicked into the dustbin of history. Time to move forward.

Mr. Bernstein should be most thankful that the media isn’t being attacked in the manner that it most certainly deserves.

There ain’t no love for you and yours, brah. None.

I remember it. Watergate was a joke. Nixon was railroaded.

Pure putrid projectile propaganda.

Positively enemies of the American people.

They (the corporate namebrands of “the news”) have created the environment for their own fate (long term failure)—not Donald Trump. He is merely a sounding board for what thinking rational Americans have understood for at least three decades.

Not even the slightest effort to report factually and honestly. Good riddance to the incubators of fake news.
