    ok so I did my best but there are some local issues in this quiz of which I have not a foggy clue about the correct answers – so I will not stress myself to try and finish… I do take exception to your implied bias as to the number and veracity of statements made by President Donald Trump. I do not share the commonly held view point that he is a liar. Also he is not really an ‘ Impeached’ President as the (in my view) ridiculous impeachment circus will go no further as it will not get through the Senate. I neither like nor dislike the man, as I do not know him personally, however I firmly believe that there is a much deeper story here that most people are missing as they have bought into the lame stream fake media’s distorted view of things. CNN should be held up on charges of Treason at the very least – Imagine if you will, if there were no more journalists of real integrity left who felt safe enough to speak truth to power – this is a very real problem in our neighbour to the south and god forbid we will not soon be in the same pickle. Your efforts on The Current are much needed, so please try to keep an open mind re: coming events unfolding in the U.S. – We ain’t seen nothing yet – S%$t Will Hit the Fan Soon. Stay Calm and Enjoy The Show. All of the above rant is just my humble opinion.
