So you believe that politicians are going to write and pass new laws that could have dire consequences for politicians?

You are the one that started talking about lies. Trump's "We're going to build a wall and Mexico is 100% going to pay for it" is the biggest whopper out there by a huge margin, and has been for a long time.

So "you" are going to oust bad politicians? Good luck with that.

Where's your line for what is and isn't a blind supporter?

Your uprising will go the same way as the BLM and Occupy Wall Street movements. First a loud pop followed by a quickly fading fizzle.

A Washington Post reporter who's been following the election closely has come up with the 5 rules for reporters when covering Clinton.

1) Everything, no matter how ludicrous-sounding, is worthy of a full investigation by federal agencies, Congress, the "vast right-wing conspiracy," and mainstream media outlets

2) Every allegation, no matter how ludicrous, is believable until it can be proven completely and utterly false. And even then, it keeps a life of its own in the conservative media world.

3) The media assumes that Clinton is acting in bad faith until there's hard evidence otherwise.

4) Everything is newsworthy because the Clinton's are the equivalent of America's royal family.

5) Everything she does is fake and calculated for maximum political benefit.

Sounds pretty spot on.
