  2. MEDIA FAIL -- Why no pushback by CBS host or other panel members to claim Democrats not being open? Media and panel surely must know better! Since when does the police, FBI, grand jury, etc. have open hearings to investigate possible criminal wrongdoing? Are you really that stupid, media? Unlike Nixon or Clinton, there exists no special prosecutor to investigate the Ukraine debacle or other scandals popping up. DOJ received criminal referrals from the House, refuses to investigate obviously credible criminal acts referred to it by Congress under Barr involving this administration. So, Democrats getting no help from DOJ! Therefore House must INVESTIGATE crimes discreetly behind closed doors to prevent suspects from getting stories straight! Plus, much of this involves classified info that Americans don't need broadcast to the world! Media didn't know all that? Surely, you jest! Unless the people at CBS only watch Faux News?!?

  3. The Three Russian Amigos strike, and U.S. foreign policy and national security takes a direct, fierce hit, while cruelly crapping on allied Kurds Toxic Traitor Trump calls turds! Republicans still pretending, deluding themselves....think a band-aid sufficient to reattach Total Loser's head, fix ongoing destruction to U.S. foreign policy and national security!

  4. MEDIA FAIL -- If you like your news "safe," than CBS will take all the hard edges off for you, leaving you with half of a muddled story that leaves one more confused than informed. CBS, trying much, much TOO hard to be non-partisan, constantly fails to make the distinction between good and bad, right and wrong, in a way that is unhelpful to viewers and harmful to this nation. CBS has a long way to go to catch up with competitors MSNBC and CNN when it comes to presenting the news, and would do well to learn from them how to cut through being manipulated by the Republican B.S.! Ironically, like this host on Face the Nation, who can be very competent at times, but other times one is left just scratching their head! Which is why the frequency of using CBS as a trusted source personally keeps decreasing. CBS needs to stop trying to please everyone--which only winds up pleasing no one, anyway--and start taking their journalistic responsibilities more seriously. One can be fair and objective sticking to the facts and logical inferences, even when one side is completely in the wrong! No need to search for something to make both sides appear in the wrong, lending false moral equivalencies while media pats themselves on the back for being unfair and calling it "fair."

  5. MEDIA FAIL -- Why is it the CBS host and everyone on her panel know so surprising little about the Trump's G7/Doral scandal? According to the former ethics chief and a number of legal experts, Trump would have likely been violating several laws. Moreover, nobody goes to south Florida in June to get eaten alive by mosquitoes, suffocated by the heat and humidity, and subjected to the beginning of hurricane season, unless they just can't avoid it! Doral normally only gets about 38% occupancy in June, and business at Doral has particularly fallen off, because of Trump's own damage to his brand. Thus, Trump profits from the event by not losing money, even would he have donated all profits (which we all know good and well he was never going to do, anyway) to charity! Then, after they put the required helipads needed for G7 on his golf course, he gets the government to pay hundreds of millions for their removal he charges while remodeling the golf course to remove the helipads! Quite the potential scam, but CBS apparently wants to hide the truth from the American people just how corrupt the scheme is! Why? If you're going to cover the issue, don't we Americans deserve to know ALL the facts, not just the ones YOU select?

  6. DANGER! DANGER! RR Crossing! Toxic Traitor Trump took the Russian Rubles, installed his own engineer, B.S. Barr, in the locomotive, but can't stop the freight train of justice from rolling right over him and his completely corrupt administration, making America great again!

  7. Having been on the receiving end of so much Republican innuendo, Hillary knows better than to engage in this egregious uncivil behavior--against people on the same side of the political spectrum as her, no less!  Have some respect and sympathy for Hillary, but this is the kind of thing that fuels her detractors and gains antipathy against her among liberals. If Hillary cared more for her party and this nation than her ego, she would fade out of the public eye...likewise if she had the sense to have some foresight and care for her own reputation. Which is why Hillary continues to lose respect and sympathy.

  8. Very kind and extremely moving words for Elijah Cummings, Rep. Norton, spoken so true! As does ring so true that this was the worst time for this nation to lose one of its greatest public servants to ever grace its sacred chambers of Congress, when needed most!  It is with deep respect and admiration, and great regret not to have known him personally, that the loss of Elijah Cummings is sorely felt. This nation suffers, already missing his unifying force, compassion, quiet patience and dignity, and honest, eloquent voice for justice.  He is succeeded by some very capable Democrats in Congress, the very best and finest group of Democrats as a whole to ever represent and serve their constituents in the history of this nation, IMHO, and I'm extremely proud of all of them. May they keep his flame alive and burning bright for future generations! You will not be forgotten, Elijah! Suspect the thing that really killed Elijah Cummings is the same thing slowly killing Robert Mueller and those rare few other sane conservatives like him, and all the rest of us fighting against a Republican cult hellbent on betrayal of everything for which America stands, that thing slowly but ever so surely killing America, too. These are sad times in America, but for some inexplicable reason the passing away of Elijah Cummings strikes particularly hard upon the heart, in a way not thought possible. I am, however, grateful and enriched to have gained greater appreciation of him in these last months of his distinguished and accomplished life.
