Whatcha Think?

We've found, and introduced to others here at Caucus99%, various opinion and news sources; from mainstream news, podcasts, webpages, videos and more. Some of these sources have changed in political orientation it seems, others are a bit more mainstream than they used to be. That's kinda natural, I guess. One has to go where the money flows, or something. I've really enjoyed learning about all these different sources from my fellow Caucus99%ers, watching the videos and reading the stories and opinions. Sure has taught me a lot!

So recently I happened across a news/opinion/podcast/wev station on youtube called 'Really American'. And I like it, so I wanted to post about it here. It's far more left wing than most anything I've seen recently. 'Really American' does some pretty good reporting and coverage of other news sources' reporting. The channel often joins in with the 'US Democratic Socialists' group which is also pretty cool.

Here's a very recent sample of 'Really American' about one of Trump's war crimes:

Surely It Can't Get Any Weirder? 'Cluck Cluck'

Local news is getting weird, even as national news is climbing out of the hand basket of weirdness into insanity, or something like that. From Alligator Alcatraz to some dude killing firefighters perhaps because he once wanted to be one... to finding Travis Decker, who killed his three daughters and then disappeared into the forest. And no, they haven't found him yet. The news is just head shakingly insane. But the weirdness doesn't have to be all bad; here's something fun in local news, a T-Rex race!
