Mercer: The Clinton Media's Manufactured Reality
2016-08-15
[Townhall] The Clinton Media have gone from malfunctioning to mad, from "dishonest" to deranged. Their coverage of the 2016 election is no longer tinged by liberal bias, but is about moving viewers and readers into a parallel universe, an alternate reality of the media’s making.

The media monolith’s latest imbecility is to offer effusive plaudits for their candidate, Hillary, because this life-long politician whose ill-gotten gains have come via the political means, not the private productive means, has released her tax returns for 2015.

This is something Donald Trump has yet to do--for the candidate is under audit and has been advised to refrain from doing anything that’ll give the most corrupt and dangerous of government agencies a lien on his assets--or liberty, for that matter.

Befitting an arm of our technocratic managerial state--the Internal Revenue Service regularly criminalizes the actions of "non-compliant" victims, even when the alleged crime is, more often than not, unintentional. And it matters not that the "Rights of Englishmen," bequeathed to the American Founders by their philosophical forbears, stipulated that there is to be no crime without intent. Also unconstitutional is ex post facto (or retroactive) law. Yet the rogues at the IRS routinely change laws as they go, and criminalize "actions that were legal when committed."

#8  You mean like in a net or something?

Nah, more like in a Black Widow's spider web--disordered and random.

#6  The more Hildebeest calls for Trump to release his tax returns the more the IRS will audit them and the more the MSM will squawk about it. Don't look for that audit to be finished any time before November. That's just one of the many advantages of having an incumbent president run interference for her.

#5  Wasn't Obama's 1st Secretary of the Treasury a Tax Evader?

I wouldn't call it evasion per se, he just got too aggressive and took some child care expenses that he shouldn't have. To wit - his kids went to day camps that also offered overnight stays. The overnight stays aren't deductible, as page 2 of the relevant instructions clearly state. I don't remember / believe if there were any other tax matters he messed up on, at which point I would call it evasion.

#4  Maybe Republicans should infiltrate the Democrats and get that D after their names long enough to get elected and fix some things. Most democrat voters simply vote D so it shoudl work.

Sometimes it seems that is what the Dems did to the Republican party and the Pubs voters only recently figured it out.

Kind of like the last days of Hitler. Their reality was really self-delusional and totally unhinged.

Found this on the net:

Half-mad Lyrics



I am only half-mad, no need to be frightened of me
I am only half-mad, screaming's just a passtime
I am only half-mad, but there's no room left for hatred
I am only half-mad, other half is rage and anger
I am only half-mad, sometimes I am self destructive
I am only half-mad, can't afford too much self pity
I am only half-mad, black and blue's my favorite color
I am only half-mad, other half is rage and anger
I am only half-mad, and my madness is unstable
I am only half-mad, my half-mind is fading slowly
I am only half-mad, screaming silence overcomes me
I am only half-mad, other half is rage and anger
I am only half-mad, but I'm trying for three quarters
I am only half-mad, got no patience for confusion
I am only half-mad, running out of thoughts to give you
I am only half-mad, other half is rage and anger
