Why Nobody Cares the President Is Lying

In the conservative media, we conditioned people not to trust facts or mainstream news outlets.
NEWS AND NEWS MEDIA

I care.
The U.S. is a democracy.
It is moderated by a representative system.
Now those representatives are not rational or typical of all the people.
The government is broken and must be repaired before it destroys itself.

Free Melania – From Our Expectations

The Sphinx of Fifth Avenue skirts the Potomac.
FIRST LADIES (US); WHITE HOUSE BUILDING (WASHINGTON, DC)

"First ladies have also often played critical roles when they thought advisers were overreaching. Nancy Reagan gave chief of staff Donald Regan a push and Laura Bush did the same with Donald Rumsfeld.
Melania has never played that role with Donald. It was Ivanka and Jared who helped purge Corey Lewandowski and Paul Manafort. It seemed like Ivanka was going to assume some of the first lady portfolio, but right now she is too busy saving her brand from her father’s careening debut.
For this administration, there’s a better use for the empty East Wing: Move in the first First Shrink."
