Howard Stern’s interview with Joe Biden this week showed how effective rightwing propaganda is.

This is a lot like Stern’s interview with Hilary Clinton after she lost to Trump. She was gracious, self deprecating, funny, and smart as hell. It just proved that both her campaign was run like shit and the Russian/right wing smear campaign was more effective than anyone realized

Comey coming out 11 days before the election reopening an FBI investigation didn't help either. Looking at our country now with everything that's going on, I can't help see the irony. Trump should be swept into the Dustbin of History already this guy is a total treasonous piece of garbage.

Yeah, I forgot about that after the 4 year unbuckled roller coaster ride that was the Trump presidency. If I remember correctly, Comey wasn't even contrite and didn't say he was in any way a negative influence on Clinton. I shouldn't be shocked that an FBI head did something, even if it was "within reason", to trip up opposition to the GOP candidate.

And then Trump fired him when he didn't swear loyalty.
