I'm trying to watch season 1 of the x files but this episode with the space shuttle doesn't make any sense at all

There's like 30 REALLY good episodes of the x files and maybe another 30-40 okay episodes but almost everything else is trash

Only one okay episode(tooms) is in season 1, I don't remember anything else worthwhile

Well on the scale of 350 million people, 29 people suffering minor injuries is kind of equivalent to eating an M&M when you expected a Skittle .

Except that guy was Afghani not Syrian so I'm confused.

That's been going on for a year now. I really need to make a compilation or something, the MSM has been calling them on their lies off and on every single week - but every time they turn up the heat for a day this thread thinks they've finally decided to "do real reporting". Everyone in America, and I do mean everyone, knows Trump is full of poo poo. No one cares. That's not the selling point. Either he makes it clear "they" don't want him to win, or he loses.

Trump will be hammered for his "profiling" comments, which are identical or maybe even less offensive than those he's been making since last November with the muslim ban. The media will go after him about his tax returns, and his lies about his Iraq stance, and Trump U, and his charity lies, and his dehumanizing of refugees and illegal immigrants, all of which have also been covered extensively for months.

Meanwhile, redditgate/Combetta will be fresh and new and they'll also cover that (because they'll be forced to by a statement from the House Intelligence Committee) and that's all anyone will talk about.

There is no "media gets more competent, takes on Trump and exposes him" timeline. That ship has sailed.

Like what line of skittles? If one is sent to the back of the line how does take the place of the first? How would the first skittle be in the back of the line? I don't get wtf this poo poo is saying. Is it just poorly written? I feel like I have dyslexia reading this.

E: if you dont like my effortposts seriously just read the quote it's hilarious foreshadowing

https://youtu.be/BWcwAgyMo7I

Katrina vs. Don Lemon, November 2015, on the Muslim Ban. This is shortly after, when the assumption was he would drop in the polls for this.

My favorite bit:

quote:

Katrina: Obama and Clinton created ISIS.

Lemon: Obama and Clinton created ISIS? Wow. Michael Weiss?

Weiss: ...wow, I mean Ive heard a lot in my time, written a book on ISIS....that sounds like something Iran would put out there. Never heard that one.

Katrina gets owned the entire time. The coverage is substantive. Trump's fascism and demagoguery is detailed beautifully by Weiss.

But the entire time, everyone is clutching their pearls. They act disgusted and it shows. They did it then, they're doing it now (lol pepe) and they'll do it for the rest of the race.
