Most of what we believe has to be based on faith as we don't personally get facts. Some believe Trump was running a child slave ring. Others believe somebody walked on water. Or how about that the Russian oligarchs got 20% of our uranium and it had nothing to do with over a million donated to the clinton foundation... <br /><br />We are filled with information and much of it what someone wants to believe. The latest example is the Syrian gas attack. That's a fact. Who did it is supposition at least for now. What would Assad gain for doing it right as Trump is talking leaving? Supposedly Obama claimed he'd gotten Syria to let Russia take all their chemical weapons. Did that happen and if so, who has the weapons to use? who does gain from killing children? Who is so heartless as to want to kill them? Who will we trust to give us the answers? <br /><br />We are so lost in all the suppositions, like is Trump about to be indicted, that we don't look at the facts and if we stick to our own news sources, we won't even hear any facts. It's all supposition. <br /><br />I don't ever go into FB without some meme tearing into Trump for how he looks, what he might've done, hope he'll be impeached and very little about actual policies he's been implementing. I get and got nothing tearing into Clinton and that's because my friends there are pretty much all liberals or authors, and writers rarely express their political views to avoid losing readers.
