  1. Medical Professionals (doctors) used to tout the medical benefits of smoking, paid for by big tobacco, what is the difference between being paid by big pharma and big tobacco to promote products they sell? And don't tell me that Big Pharma isn't part of the equation, because they have legal liability laws written specifically for them (and no other industry).

    Take a look at the actual packaging on a vaccine, and see potential issues listed as a side effect?
    http://investmentwatchblog.com...

    Here is the problem, one vaccine may be safe, completely by itself. 47 vaccines together have NEVER been tested as such. The "pro science" people are all great, but there has never been a proper scientific study (double blind) on the effects of a full vaccine schedule. Not only that, there hasn't even been an attempt.

    The problem is, it isn't science to guess, it is science to properly study, test, document and show efficacy of the full schedule. That has NEVER been done. And until it is, both sides can argue till they are blue in the face, and are both cannot say that the full schedule does or doesn't cause long term health issues (like autism)

    Well, there are two issues here, and people love to conflate them together.

    1) Spear Phishers got to Podesta, and gained access to his account. The media calls it "hacking" but it wasn't, it was social engineering. One requires expert skills in computers, the other requires basic knowledge of psychology. THIS is all on Podesta for not using 2 Factor authentication.

    2) The other bit about collusion with Media, DNC, Hillary Campaign and it even ties into Project Veritas "Bird Dogging" tapes.

    These are TWO separate issues, and should be addressed as such. Trump could have flipped the whole "Trump and Putin are buddies" bit by Clinton by saying "I condemn the hack. But that doesn't eliminate the horrible dirty politics of the DNC, Media and Hillary Clinton that was exposed. Hillary, how do you justify Bird Dogging my campaign?"

    But Trump is an idiot. He'll never get how to flip attacks back onto the attackers. It requires a kind of mental judo he can't perform.

    You're under a false assumption based on binary thinking, that I support Trump.

    But, if you're going down the line of who screwing who is worse, Trump didn't screw any of the women, while Clinton is figuratively raping the nation for political gain. Voter fraud is a huge issue, since it affects everyone, regardless of who they are voting for.

    As for Attacking Donald, the Press are in cahoots (literally) with the Hillary Campaign are doing a fine job of that, I don't need to pile on. And by being in bed (figuratively speaking) with the Clinton Campaign, are equally complicit with the fraud being perpetrated by the DNC, Clinton and everyone implicated in the Wikileaks scandal (including inciting violence).

    So, violence is violence, and shouldn't be tolerated. Clinton is complicit at minimum, and involved directly at worst with everything WikiLeaks and Project Veritas has exposed. But you don't seem concerned about any of that, because Hillary is your vagina candidate (her most notable "qualification")

    Putting trust (more or less) is often based on experience (bias) but doesn't negate the possibility that the domestic sources information is legitimate.

    I have no doubt that the Trump tape is authentic, and trust it is accurate. But the press (MSM) has also been shown to be highly biased against Trump, and supportive of Hillary, and THAT information is coming from foreign sources like WikiLeaks. The fact that US press hasn't covered it much (if at all) is proof that they are not to be trusted.

    Simply put, trust isn't about quantity, it is about quality. Broken clocks are correct twice a day, and for a very brief period, I can trust that they are right. Doesn't mean I trust them the rest of the time. That is not confirmation bias, that is having an open mind to look beyond the obvious (the clock is broken, I shouldn't use it at all).

    Confirmation bias is only looking to the MSM for "news", in which case, you are unlikely to know much about WikiLeaks exposure of the corruption inside the DNC and its efforts to illegally manipulate the voters. Confirmation Bias is ignoring Project Veritas confirming the WikiLeaks information about "Bird dogging". You think the MSM is going to link those two together and put it on the front page of the NYT or Lead with it on CNN? If this was any (R), you can bet it would be.

    So, I do NOT trust the domestic MSM to do its job at all. It is fully incapable of it. That doesn't mean it isn't right twice a day. It just means that it is full of shit the other 23 hours and 58 minutes.

    these people do not want democracy to work

    Well, I hate to break this to you, but Democracy will never work. Eventually people gather together enough resources to take whatever they want from people less able to defend themselves from such actions. When you see left wing democratic socialists, they think they have a right (by majority vote) to take whatever they want from others, to support whatever cause (justified or not) they have. They use phrases like "the 1%", and "fair share" and divide people up "Rich vs Middle class vs poor" and always use the majority opinion to simply take via legislation that which they feel entitled to.

    This is why we have a democratic republic, one that used to have an outline of how powerful a government should be (no very) and a defined purpose (to protect the liberties of the People). Those people who think Government is the only solution to the problems government creates, are creating a beast that will eventually eat them up. They are just too ignorant and haven't learned from history.

    You're not paying attention then. There is a lot of talk about real war happening now, by both Russia (nuclear power) and North Korea (Nuclear Power). And Clinton is inexorably tied to both with her four years of SoS and the complete ineptitude of the "Obama Doctrine" (whatever that is).

    You'd be hard pressed to figure out how Trump is involved in either. But a typical leftwingers like yourself has long used "nuclear war" option to scare people into voting for disgusting people like Hillary. Again, I don't think you'll believe me, and I doubt you'll actually admit that the threat of war (nuclear or otherwise) is all on Obama and Clinton at this point.
