    He will try to claim this is not a fact. That’s all he does. He’s just like the MSM. They don’t even care if everyone knows they are making up crap. They have enough people out there that are too stupid to research or find answers so they just take their word for it. It’s what the liberal depend on. It’s laughable that SH can even use the word fact. He thinks the MSM doesn’t make up fake news is a fact in his mind. :lmao:

    He's 79 years old. The only other comparably aged media personalities are Chris Matthews (71) and Lou Dobbs (72). MSM typically pushes older personalities to the wayside. If Pat was discriminated against it was due to age, not his views. He was a regular panelist on NPR's The McLaughlin Group until McLaughlin died in 2016. I used to watch that show religiously.

    That's a self serving definition that could be used for any argument Why don't "flat earthers" get more MSM time? Why doesn't Al Queda get more MSM time to defend their views? Why doesn't Musberger get airtime? Is the only possible answer because MSM is censoring these viewpoints?

    If they are much more reliable, list them.

    Trump being ineloquent or loose with his words is "Fake news"? He was responding to a comment from a CA law enforcement officer. I read that in the USA Today. I'm sure some media outlets aren't outlining the context.

    The problem is that he continually exaggerates the criminal element portion of illegal immigration in the past and continues today. To advance his policy agenda he wants to energize the Garmel's of his base. Acknowledging MS-13 members are a small minority of illegal immigrants doesn't fit the narrative. Instead he leads with "drug dealers, rapists" and MS-13 members.

    Nice spin. However, all you have to do is look at the transcript or watch the initial conversation to know what he was talking about. The media tried to pull a fast one and got caught again. The problem is not exaggerated. Around 20% of all murders in the U.S. are caused by illegal immigrants. Not many are caused by poor Latinos looking for a better life. It's caused by illegal gangs and cartel members in this country. It's not just Trump that says this, it's law enforcement officers. You don't know it's a problem because the MSM rarely mentions it because it's politically incorrect. This is a root problem with liberalism as a whole and why liberals can't solve societal problems is the belief that if something is politically incorrect it can't be true.

    It's Trump's fault because he wasn't eloquent enough.:lol:

    And ignore all of his previous comments. That might be easier for you to do than most of us.

    Accountability for ones own action and statetements no longer matters to conservatives? Pity, i thought that was a good foundational characteristic of conservatism in the past.

    All of that supposed "dog whistle language"? Look who's into conspiracy theories now.

    He was plenty eloquent. You just believe whatever the media tells you to think. Once again, just as in the Israel-Palestine conflict, you were wrong.

    Context that ya'll consistently ignore. The inconvenient truth is that crime rates for illegal immigrants match or are lower than the general population.

    That's MSM spin that comes from liberal think tanks.. That's true for legal immigrants but not illegal immigrants. https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/crime-illegal-immigration/
    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...s-far-more-likely-to-commit-crimes-be-in-jail

    The fact that between 60-80 percent of women are raped crossing the border there is a lot of truth to what The Donald said. We aren't getting the best and the brightest coming from the border illegally. https://splinternews.com/is-rape-the-price-to-pay-for-migrant-women-chasing-the-1793842446 Once again proving what I said earlier. What Trump said was politically incorrect but it is 100% true. However, since it's politically incorrect to a liberal that makes it false and racist. Btw, this has nothing to do with skin color. You can bet your *** that many Americans who are illegal in Mexico are up to no good as well.

    Since you're so much against racism I haven't heard you mention Obama's "typical white person remark". How about the picture he took with Farrakhan, the worst anti-Semite out there? See, I can play this silly game too.

    Still answering the OP's original question --

    The Iranian Rial hit all-time low as locals scrambled for the USD (aka Great Satan).
    The Rial has been losing against the USD basically ever since 1979 -- back then one Dollar would get you 70 Rials, Yesterday (Sunday), one Dollar got you 87,000 Rials. Today, who knows?

    At the end of 2017, it was trading at 42,890 per USD. In early May, when Trump stated he would end Obama's infamous nuke deal, it was trading around 65,000.

    edit -- hit as high as 93,000 today. https://bonbast.com/
    And one Euro is now worth about 100,000 Rials

    Clearly, they have been taking lessons from CNN and MSNBC.

    Iran could flip easily. The population is ready to be "western".

    The people may want to be western but without a means to stop the people with the weaponry it is not likely to happen.
    Hopefully there are some reasonable people in the upper ranks of power and military.
