So it seems like you couldn't answer the question of whether or not people in a democracy are allowed to support a candidate who wants to lift sanctions on Russia. Strange.
That's not the question that was posed (as the record shows). Moreover, your rephrasing still does not accurately reflect the actual events, and you know as well as I that people can vote for any candidate they want to.
This, ironically, is information coming only from governments. No raw data has been made available to the public to verify.
We vote to entrust people with power to govern and protect our rights as citizens. There's nothing ironic about expecting government to honestly inform the public. The three independent investigations provided their sources for public review, including sworn testimony and public disclosures from Trump campaign officials and associates.
Besides, apart from the investigative reports, we saw for ourselves that Trump was talking up Putin and reading from the Wikileaks releases of stolen DNC documents. We know Roger Stone had a contact with WikiLeaks whom he was willing to go to jail for rather than disclose to law enforcement. We even saw Don Junior eventually disclose that the campaign knew Russia was wanting to help Trump even though they denied knowing that throughout the campaign.
Weird how that "Free Press" didn't seem to have a problem with it huh?
I think that for the most part the free press scrutinized the government reports thoroughly.
Kind of like how they virtually *never* have a problem with the consensus of US military intelligence agencies and spreading war propaganda... Almost like there is some collusion there?
I have no idea what war propaganda you're referring to.
It's common sense that there exists in reality a truth that people can all observe and come to a consensus. But as for cynicism, it forms in the imagination out of fear, and is self-fulfilling as it warps one's deliberation.
Yes, so a "Free Press" is one where the lies and disinformation are privatized to corporations that have more influence than state governments have ever had.
It's such a bewildering thing to brag about.
I don't see bragging about the mixed bag of speaking freely as applicable. There have always been lies/liars and people who will subvert the truth and deceive others for self-gain. But there also are honest people who have the Word of God living in their hearts and minds.
