You mean plans that Congressmen and women are making openly and speaking about it?

That's the thing - you act like it'll never happen. If I told you Jan 6th was going to happen, you'd have ridiculed me.

They want to destroy our country, and you will vote for them to do so.
Bottomline, I am not about to support the Biden/Pelosi/Schumer agenda. I don’t think it’s good for this country. I don’t care who you vote for nor do I care what calculus you do to arrive at that decision. It is your vote to spend and how you spend it is up to you. I don’t recall ever asking anyone on this board who they voted for. I don’t care.
The Biden/Pelosi/Schumer agenda is far better for our country than the Trump GOP agenda.

Go ahead and make the argument that I'm wrong.
This is a discussion board. I prefer to talk policy.
Yeah, I would too, considering the people you vote for.

And you don't want to talk that policy either. You want to dance around.

Tell me what there is about the Trump GOP policies you support. Go ahead. You're the one who wants to talk policy.

No, we vote in our best interests no matter what.

White supremacists, neonazis, neo-Confederates, frothing-at-the-mouth economic opportunists that run the GOP/RNC, they operate only in the best interests of bigoted conservative whites and the people trying to impress them.

Regular people aren't interested in that.
You and I both know you aren’t going to vote for a conservative Republican under any circumstances.
There is no rational reason to ever vote for a conservative Republican so as long as conservative Republicanism is guided by white supremacists, homophobes, misogynists, trans-haters, anti-immigrants, economic exploitationists, and Muslim-banners that pander to dimwits like yourself.
Yet you seem to think that I should vote for Democrats who will tow the line on the Biden/Pelosi/Schumer agenda.
:lol: on what parallel planet do you think anyone wants the vote of some ignorant Tennesee confederate from Bell Buckle Bible College?

It's a free country, go vote for your confederate favorites, and keep at it until you're dead.

Nobody wants or needs your sh#tty white-conservative vote.

Please continue to throw it to the bigots like Marsha Blackburn, who represent you perfectly. That's where you belong. You do not belong with normal people.

Perfect, because nobody needs your provincial, arrogant, confederate "support."

Go support your mama.

This discussion board supports all manner of discussions. Marsha Blackburn is the dumbest Trump supporter in Congress. Who really GAS what someone dumb enough to be a Marsha Blackburn voter prefers.

What's odd is that this isn't even a thread about policy, so to speak. It's a thread about Donald J. Trump and his batshit crazy statements, how dangerous he is, and the fact that he's the leader of the GOP.

JoeMemphis, Greenfasscist, Ted, and that rapist Glennfs actively vote GOP.

Sam Lefthand and bradman put their heads down, step off the sidewalke for them, and dutifully comply.

Pottymouth Karenwater a white ndn Malthusian who wields her veteran creds like a sword because she so badly wants to be one of the guys, stays silent about the rightwing's anti-minority activism until somebody brings up something about slavery, police brutality, or segregation. At which point she will predictably launch into some weak, pre-fabricated diatribe about "natives," as if African-American and Native issues are in competition.

This country as a really serious problem with white supremacy and its resurgence in real time. All of these people are compliant with it, and wilfully complicit in it.

She even has a voice part on "Batwoman," I kid you not. Ari Melber will do rap lyrics for his audience. You need a gimmick. Shame, as I said, Walter Cronkite had no gimmick.

But it's also in the choice of what to cover. Who really cares where Justin Bieber last took a whiz? I ask that rhetorically because obviously enough people do because tabloids like the NatEq are hardly going out of business. Clearly lots of people do. Hey, shock, ratings-driven "news" often chases celebrities, and covers things that are sensationalistic. Nothing rivets your attention like the latest bloody murder in your city so "if it bleeds it leads". They could bring on a sociologist who points out murder in going down in your town and had been for years. BOOOOORING.

As Neil Postman points out, the worst part of "infotainment" is there is a sliding away from interest in truth as people become addicted to excitement and adrenaline. People wonder why now there are people waiting for JFK Sr. to rise out of the grave in Dallas or chugging horse paste to treat COVID-19 ... well this phenomenon did NOT start with Trump. As lots of folks noted, he was just a culmination. What a shock, his best pals were the NatEq publisher (for a while, anyway) and Alex Jones.

Jones, too, knows what his people want, and gives it to them. Nothing is coincidence, "they" are leaving clues to their secret workings like you are Scooby-Doo ready to uncover "their" nefarious plots. A logo on a pizzeria in DC is really them revealing the Satanic rituals they've been doing to kids, all hidden in plain sight. Along with his man-powered bone broth and magic neutriceuticals.

One thing to remember is that the cable news audience is minute. Network news is pretty small also. Basically, not a lot of people are influenced by Fox, CNN, MSNBC.

Fox News has been very influential on the right. Their support of Trump in 2016 was crucial.

Doesnt matter how many people watch something on TV via cable or broadcast, what matters, as you know, is the 60 second clips that play by the millions on YouTube and on other social media. This way a fascist killer like carlson can have only 2 million viewers via fox news but many more than that via social media.
I sigh in your general direction.

Allow me to say, for once, sir, you are right. Newspapers are of course also dying. We've seen the stats. Increasingly people are getting their news from online, and in particular, from social media, notably Facebook.

But as I've been pointing to, and a lot of research backs that up, as far as our media ecology goes, this may be a movement from frying pan to fire.

Like I said above, when a fascist like carlson says something on fox news with only 2 million watching, clips of what he says end up all over the place. Most people dont watch TV for news, as you know, but the comments originate there often.

When I went to see John Cleese he went out of his way to comment about what a fucking pig MurDICK is, as MurDICK is hated world wide and liked only by the cons here and in a few other places.

If we had a brain we would kick off any format anything from Murdoch, Britain the same. When all democracies fail in a couple years it will be too late, we will have played by the rules while they never did...ridiculous

Trump Ordered Staff to ‘Bust Some Heads’ of Black Lives Matter Protesters Prior to Church Photo Op: Book - Rolling Stone

Former President Donald Trump instructed Mark Meadows to “bust some heads and make some arrests” of Black Lives Matter protesters who had gathered outside the White House in the summer of 2020, the former chief of staff writes in his new book.

Trump gave the instruction as he prepared to walk from the White House to St. John’s Episcopal Church to squint and have his picture taken while holding a Bible. The U.S. Park Police and National Guard troops tear-gassed protesters in Lafayette Square, which sits between the White House and the church, to clear a path for the president.

“Upstairs in the Residence, President Trump was growing anxious,” Meadows reportedly wrote in The Chief’s Chief, which published Tuesday. “He had given an order for the park to be cleared, and it was not being followed. The various law enforcement agencies that were supposed to be under the command of [then-Attorney General] Bill Barr were clearly not communicating with one another, and it did not seem that a single arrest had yet been made.”

Crime Bill and civil asset forfeiture, cobbled together with that dirty rapist Strom Thurmond.

Joe Biden’s crime/drug bills did not begin in 1994, but 1982 b4 any crack epidemic. His first huge policy act was to create Civil Asset Forfeiture laws w/Strom Thurmond as Judiciary co-chairs. Joe explains how he cut deal w/Strom to “keep liberals away” from killing the bill.

Now I’m wondering if it’s shopped and it’s a real photo of him pulled in from elsewhere. On my iPad his hat etc looks low rez pixilated and there’s some blur around the image.
