A truly free and independent press is becoming a pipe dream as the mainstream media is increasingly used as a political weapon. read now...By Patrick Lawrence / Original to ScheerPost Sometime in the mid–Russiagate years, when it became clear that America was on a swoon back into the collective neuroses of the 1950s, I began to think we would have to wait for future historians to retrieve the truth buried alive in the cesspit of lies and cynical […]

We need a Republican nominee who can give us eight years.” Well I come to you from the future and I’m here to tell you that Donald Trump will respond with the following: In response, his Republican challengers will gape and sputter and twist their toes in the dirt. But they won’t say that a third term is impossible.
