I'm Going To Stop Counting

When Donald Trump won and Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, we were told by the media and the Democrats that it was the end of the world.  When the net neutrality regulations were repealed, we were told by the media and the Democrats that it was the end of the world.  When Donald Trump called Kim Jung Un "little Rocket Man" and told the North Koreans that they would be destroyed if they ever took action against the USA, we were told by the media and the Democrats that it was the end of the world.  When the President moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in Israel, we were told that it was the end of the world.  When Trump withdrew the USA from the Paris climate accords, you guessed it, it was the end of the world.  When the President refused to certify Iranian compliance with the JCPOA, the Iranian nuke agreement, it was again the end of the world.  Of course, when President Trump withdrew the US from the JCPOA, it was even more than the end of the world (if that is possible.)  Then there's the tax cut legislation; once again the media and the Democrats told us that this was actually a tax increase (a lie) but that it was nevertheless the end of the world.  When Trump appointed Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court -- end of the world.  When Trump appointed Brett Kavanaugh to the same court -- again, the end of the world.  Now that Trump had a news conference at which he said that the intelligence agencies told him that it was likely the Russians who hacked the DNC in 2016 but that Putin had said it wasn't Russia and he wasn't sure who to believe, it seems to be the end of the world, in spades. 

There are so many more times in the last year and a half that we've been warned it was the end of the world, that I'm going to stop counting.  How many times can the same people tell us that "people will die; it's the end of the world"?  I've come to realize that when the media and the Democrats say that people will die or that it's the end of the world, what they really mean is this:  "We don't like this, but we really have nothing much rational to say on the subject so we'll just go with the end of the world nonsense."

They really need to find a new line.  This one has really gotten old.
