Dear mainstream media,
You wonder why the American people don't trust you? It's because you do the DUMBEST things. Need an example? Let me help.
You got polling wrong in '16, said you'd change this time around, look what's happening.
AZ was called and it's close. MI was called and SOS shows Trump (and James winning).
But the most IRRITATING thing of the night: "Trump demands they stop counting votes! Republicans don't want all the votes counted!"
No, you dumbasses. LEGAL ballots are different than ALLLLLLLLLL ballots. We want the ballots to be counted that were received by. the. DEADLINE.
You talk about state's rights. Well guess what? States have the power to decide what and how their ballots are counted. The state legislature decides if/when to extend deadlines for the election, NOT some bureaucrat.
States that made these calls WITHOUT the legislature aren't legal. And guess what? Ballots not received by the deadlines that the court set (assuming it was challenged) have to be upheld. Otherwise the extensions violate the state Constitution. But hey, leave that out right?
Lying by omission. It's the number one thing people hate about the media. And look. you're doing it again. But no surprise.

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to

Driving through San Bernardino. There were riots here Monday night. Seeing quite a few boarded up buildings.
One business has a sign that says “small business supporting BLM” to discourage looters.
I just spoke to a black employee at the Burger King who was almost in tears. She said people rushed the lobby when the riots happened. Now people are scared to come in because they see it boarded up.
People are continually replying to this tweet, making a few assumptions.
I'm not talking about any kind of tax fraud. I'm talking about legal write-offs, like interest from mortgages and student loans, medical bills (if you spent enough), child tax credit, etc.
People who advocate for this "democratic socialism" crap that Bernie is pushing want Medicare for All and so-called "free" college. The point I'm making is this: NOTHING is "free." Everything is paid for in higher taxes.
The very people who claim we want/need these programs say they have no problem paying more in taxes to achieve these goals. Fine. So be it. But how many of these folks are also looking at ways to get back as much money as possible come tax time?
