The video he put out today is hilarious. It’s obvious he is reading it for the first time as he is straining to see some of the words.
One guy had 11 home made bombs in his truck, along with his assault rifle according to CNN reports.... What was truly disturbing was several of them came with zip/cable ties made up into handcuffs. They didnt come for peaceful demonstration (not that I think many of them did) - they wanted hostages. The guy photo'd heading off with the speakers lectern looked like he was posing for a holiday snap on the beach. The mentality of some of them is beyond belief, but then again I suppose its really not is it?
CNN and Fox are polar opposites. I would say up until Trump CNN would not have been as anti Republican as it is now. Even though Bush was a Dunder Head, they never really would have gone after him as such. Like everything these days those Media companies nearly always chose a side now. I do watch it now and again and would be on their website if something big is going down. I don’t find them that impartial but it’s hard to be when the leader of the country is clearly not fit for the role.
I would add that has he basically been asking his nut job followers to kill anyone in the media that isn't pro Trump if they fancy it.
That’s true he did set his stall out fairly early with CNN calling them the fake news media and all that.
CNN would have been seen as less leaning than MSNBC MSNBC like Fox would have more opinion based and political commentary shows. The link probably explains it better in the right wing media is very partisan but very unreliable while most of the left wing media skews left and is mostly unreliable. https://www.adfontesmedia.com/static-mbc/
I'm just hoping that if we can get away from this crazy divisive politics that things will simmer down, Trump created a perfect storm with his broadcasting of politic decisions and it serves neither side well to have that happening so hopefully Biden will move away from that idea and take a more inclusive tone and hopefully in 4 years time things might be starting to come back to some sort of normal.
"The federal government executed ten people last year, more than three times as many as in the previous six decades, marking the first time that it had conducted more executions than all US states combined." "Dustin Higgs was the 13th person executed by the US government in an extraordinary spree begun last summer by Mr Trump, after a 17-year hiatus at the federal level. Only three people since 1963 had been executed by the federal government before Trump." Trump also broke with a 130-year-old precedent of pausing executions during a presidential transition. It is a measure of his lack of conscience and disregard for human life that he willingly has these deaths on his hands.
In the world of American politics its hard to stand out from the other scumbags,but this lad managed it. He's a Senator for Texas. They deregulated the power industry and made it immune from federal oversight in the 90's because safety regulations eat into profits. So the power plants weren't equipped to deal with the extreme cold weather they're now getting and they've had days of blackouts and no heat. Absolute disaster with millions effected and people are dying. Did Ted stay and help? Did he fuck, he took the family to Cancun. Got caught,pretended he was only dropping them off and then flying back. Even now he's still insisting it was his daughters idea and he was just being a good father. A good father wouldn't put that shit on his daughters. For anybody not familiar with him,he is Trumps biggest arse licker,even though Trump called his wife ugly and accused his father of being involved in the JFK assassination. He was also involved in inciting the attack on the Capitol where 5 people died,including a police officer. And watch what he does now when there will be calls for regulating power in Texas again. He'll vote with the oil and gas companies even though deregulation has been killing people long before now.
There was another mayor who posted a hugecrant saying anyone freezing to death should just get on with it and stop looking fir help, strangely enough he had to resign. The crazy part is that none of this will really harm the republicans, they've already blamed it on green energy and said they need oil and gas to get out of this despite it being solely caused by the failure of oil and gas but anti green sells well with their believers. That's not to mention the contribution of global warming on the likely increasing prevalence of weather events like these. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tim-boyd-texas-mayor-colorado-city-resigns-power-outages/
Occupational hazard when your survival in politics is based on knowing which of your views you can get away with expressing and which you need to keep to yourself. He's not said anything there most of his party doesn't privately agree with.
Fox have been hit with a 1.6bn lawsuit over claims they continuously broadcast regarding rigged voting machines. Imagine if the media got picked apart for every lie they spread willingly, things would be a lot simpler.
Dominion aren't fucking about. They've sued Sidney Powell and Rudy Guiliani for similar figures too. Powell is using the defence Fox used previously when Tucker Carlson was sued, that no reasonable person would take what she said seriously. Believe or not it worked for Fox. Can't work for her though I'd imagine because there's mountains of evidence that millions of people did believe her,including the insurrection at the Capitol. And the accusations were all over Fox so I doubt they can weasel out by drawing the distinction between their news programmes and entertainment programmes,a distinction none of their viewers make. I wonder if it's possible for Dominion to sue Trump?
Fox news have officially taken her on. She was never going to be long looking fir work, she's going to be the face of the republican onslaught for a long time.
What is it with these wankers that they're always waiting for near apocalyptic events that they've the tiniest chance of experiencing, while promoting a solution to that non existent problem that puts themselves in real danger? You're many times more likely to kill yourself or a family member with your gun than you are to use it in self defence. And the promotion of the culture puts everybody in far more danger in general. Your chances of being robbed or assaulted is more or less the same in London as it is in New York. But you're 54 times more likely to be killed in that incident in New York.
Depressing but sadly not surprising. They are so polarized. They can't seem to see that nothing good will come of this constant dangerous rhetoric.
All these people care about is money, tonnes and tonnes of money and power likely in the form of a couple of political favours.
