I know you’re joking about the military and “wokeness” but let me tell y’all a little story. My son has been in the Marines around 18 months. COVID absolutely destroyed his path at Troy - he’s ADHD

The most hilarious part is the rumor was about weatheford, in a county that has a full Trump billboard, voted 80% trump both times, hates any and all non whites. That’s where the dems launched a registration scheme. It’s so beautiful.

I know it's kind of silly, but wouldn't a real news network suspend/and or fire a on air reporter/news anchor for blatantly lying and making shit up?  

You mine like half a dozen of their reporters did last election, and it cost them almost a billion dollars? You mean like what Jesse Watters does every time he's on the air?

Besides, by their own lawyers, they're not a news network. They are cable entertainment.

Which is why I still wish Dominion wouldn’t have settled. Or that part of the settlement would have been that Fox ran a disclaimer before every show saying they are for entertainment purposes only and not a real news channel.

He is referring to black and brown people’s guns since they are criminals.  White people’s guns are safe since they are upstanding citizens. 

This is 100% correct.  "Stop and Frisk" is a dog whistle of whose guns he's OK with confiscating.  And his base is OK with confiscating those guns, too.  This won't move the needle.

The problem is that they know exactly how words work, and how they work on people, backed up by thousands of years of evidence. 

To expand on this a little bit more for our brethren, note how they use violent and violent adjacent terms when speaking of Democratic Party officials and voters, how they manipulate their audience with fear of loss, exploit xenophobia, and promote any morally bankrupt huckster as long as they can lie with a straight face.   They know their viewers are in a cult.  They could tell them that fish taste like apples and their followers will just go along with it out of fear of being out of step from their cultish identity.   It is really a fascinating thing to observer as long as we don't consider the consequences.   This cultish behavior is how people get manipulated into putting people into ovens.  

God is such a shitty designer.

Yep. I experience this phenomenon first hand. The clutching of pearls anytime I tell anyone from my suburb I also own assault rifles.

Its not about election integrity or truth or informing the public, its about creating enough chaos that the voting system shuts down.  Its people phoning in fake fires all around town so the trucks are answering those calls instead of responding to real fires.  Then they can point at the fire department and say, "Why didn't you stop the real fires?"  Its manipulating reality to fit the view that A) all government run agencies are inherently inept and fatally flawed and B) elections in the US are a sham.

I'd like to say I think it is so that the spoiled man-child on the R ticket can avoid having to face that he didn't win something, but I think Trump is largely irrelevant.  The goal of the most insidious of the people who "support Trump" is to dismantle the government.  Trump is just a useful tool to make progress towards that.  Their view of our shared world is more aligned with Timothy McVeigh's or Ted Kaczynski's than my own.

That used to depress the fuck out of me, but as it becomes more apparent as to what is going on, I am seeing more people reject it.  For every person it energizes and brings in, three are repulsed and driven away.  That's taken from the people in my orbit in Colorado and Texas, but I think we are seeing evidence that something like this is the general trend nationally.

She's been in the situation room plenty, with several generals.  If you took a poll of each of them and asked them who's smarter, Harris or Trump, it would be 100% for Harris.

Do they still pretend with the "fair and balanced" stuff? Or did that go by the wayside sometime around November of 2016.

They ditched it for something like "You know we're RIGHT!"
