Also Democrats: Chris you would have never used that word if you hadn't been taught it. LMFAO! I can't fully fault Joy fully because that's how I feel when I hear leftists repeat cliches Noam Chompsy would say, for-example: Institutionalized racism, multinational corporations, colonializaton, systems of control, trickle down economics.. The rest of the story in America is, that the left guaranteed college tuition because that sounds fair to a midwit. Hence the student loan forgiveness for the people who just learned how to be outraged but couldn't finish their degrees or got worthless degrees and couldn't make it in society. Hence the blame capitalism sentiment. US Government guaranteed student loans, when they did that, Colleges didn't have to worry about students not being able to pass their classes and finish 4yrs there, failing out and them losing that money. Colleges began to become the "Transition therapy brainwashing centers" they are today. That's how we got to were we are now with the MSNPC's fixation on RUSSIA!

Inflation denial. I did notice in a very Orwellian style they tried to reclassify the definition of a recession some months back. Just like they redefined vaccine and anti-vaxxer. There are those here with their heads well and truly in the sand who think things aren’t all that dystopian. When language is being redefined and even compelled in some instances, you are in a very dark place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Thomas Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Trump and Elon Musk are dangerous narcissists tailored to 2022 America by Robert Reich November 8, 2022 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/nov/08/trump-and-elon-musk-are-dangerous-narcissists-tailored-to-2022-america "Beware. The last time the world gave in to megalomaniacs it did not end well. The robber barons of the Gilded Age – men like William (“the public be damned”) Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie and John D Rockefeller – siphoned off so much of the nation’s wealth that the rest of the nation had to go deep into debt to maintain their standard of living and overall demand for the goods and services the nation produced. When that debt bubble burst in 1929, the world got a Great Depression. And that depression paved the way for Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler, who created the worst threats to freedom and democracy the modern world had ever witnessed, and the most deaths. We are much safer when economic and political power is widely diffused. We are better off when people like Musk and Trump cannot gain such untrammeled wealth and influence. We all do better when fewer Americans feel so helpless and insecure that they’re drawn to reprehensible bullies who parade across the public stage as if possessing admirable qualities."

Matthew Koch Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Things that should make you go hmmmmmmmm.. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/early-election-night-results-final-tallies/story?id=92762835 Early election night results might not indicate final tallies (and why that's OK) A "red mirage," or an artificial GOP vote lead, will likely reoccur Tuesday. As early Election Day results come in on Tuesday, it will likely appear that a Republican candidates vying for any number of the federal or statewide races appear to be leading their Democratic opponents, even by large margins. Their leads will dwindle, or crumble completely, after perceived "dumps" of votes are recorded by state electionofficials who count mail-in and absentee ballots in the days -- or even weeks -- following Election Day. This phenomenon was popularized as the "red mirage" or the "blue shift" after the 2020 presidential election, when former President Donald Trump took a deceptive lead in several competitive states on Election Day due to delays in counting of Democrats' mail-in ballots -- their preferred method of voting due to the COVID-19 pandemic -- only to eventually dissipate when the entire reserve of votes was totaled. The illusion was a principal component of Trump and his allies' false claims that the contest was fraudulent upon his ultimate loss to Joe Biden.

Chris Hedges makes a number of blatantly inaccurate assertions in this article, especially his claims about allegedly similar Republican and Democratic policy positions on healthcare policy. Let's not forget that the Republicons repeatedly sought to sabotage and overturn the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid expansion, and passed major funding cuts for Medicaid in December of 2017. They are also planning to force cuts in funding for Social Security and Medicare in 2023 if they regain control of the House. My response to Chris Hedges is, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
