Can't make this stuff up... 🙄

It's like something the Joker would do in a Batman movie, after de-regulating train safety regulations.

Trump Uses Ohio Disaster to Advertise Trump Water

Marx called it "false consciousness."

The white working class Trump cult voters in the U.S. are a case study.

This is a bit snotty. 

You think you are smarter, and know what is best, for working class voters? 

IMHO, adjusting for certain technical innovations, living standards were higher in the 1960s than now. 

That is 60 years of decline for the employee-middle class, a string of wars under both parties, and widening chasms of income and wealth. 

The Detroitification of the heartland, and the Hong Kongification (high housing costs) of the coasts. 

The Donks and the establishment 'Phants are true globalists---on this there is no disagreement.

Trump, despite his disagreeable, petulant, mercurial personality, and general lack of character, changed the conversation on open borders for trade and illegal immigration.

Biden put the knife in the back of the railroad unions, and opened the southern border again to cheap illegal labor, but played the divisive ID-politics card incessantly.  And visited Ukraine, but not his own southern border. 

Regardless of race (which I ignore), who should an employee-class person vote for?

Reminds me of when ex-President Ford hustled trinkets for the Franklin Mint. 

But Biden has been President for two years. If there were bad Trump-era regs on railroads, where was the Biden Administration?

The irony of this is off the charts!! 

Foxnews definitely has done better reporting on the JFK assassination than Dan Rather, & Fox has had at least two members of this forum on..

If the ONLY thing FOX News reported on was the JFK assassination, I could possibly agree with you.

But that's less than 1% of their (alleged) reporting.

The depositions in the Dominion lawsuit show that their on-air personalities, including Hannity and Carlson, didn't believe the "stolen election" lies they were reporting daily. So if they believe what they're reporting is false...what, EXACTLY, makes Fox News credible?

POLITICS-CBS News

House Democratic leaders to discuss impact of reported Jan. 6 video release to Fox News' Tucker Carlson

BY SCOTT MACFARLANE

UPDATED ON: FEBRUARY 22, 2023 / 8:45 AM / CBS NEWS

House Democratic leaders are planning an internal meeting Wednesday afternoon to discuss the impact of the reported release to Fox News of tens of thousands hours of the security and police video from the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol.

---30---

These hours of video should put online, for all to see, including the many very good independent news outfits we still have left. 

Why give the video hours exclusively to any news outfit? The 'Phants look bad on this. 

And why did the Donks suppress the videos?

Meanwhile, in Denver Colorado.. 

Journalist Trevor Aaronson produced the podcast “Alphabet Boys,” which details how the FBI allegedly used Michael Adam Windecker II to target Black activists and coerce them into joining a plot to assassinate Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser.

The Republicans have introduced a bill to abolish the department of Education.

Meh.

It's just another stunt to pacify their rapidly dwindling base. It obviously can't go anywhere because the Sane People are in charge of the White House and Senate.

The GOP has fully embraced the pro wrestling approach to politics; everything is just spectacle, there's no actual substance there, nothing is real. They're also perfectly happy to be the heel in this bizzarro act of theater.

However the reality is this: Republicans are facing an extinction-level event coming straight at them. Demographics are starting to really work against them, and no, I'm not talking about all those brown people and Mexicans they hate so much that might be crossing the border somewhere.

By far the largest contingency in the GOP base is middle-aged and old bigoted white men. But as it turns out, these guys are kicking off at a spectacular rate; after Native American men, their life expectancy has dropped more than any other ethnic category, an entire year in 2022 alone.

Contrast that with the 30 million more Gen Z voters that will be in the voting booth in 2024 as compared to 2016.

And I can assure you with 100% confidence that those kids have got no use whatsoever for the BS and carnage they've watched MAGA bring upon this country.

And that, in the final analysis, is all that really matters: that us good guys win the elections. Everything else is truly just noise :)
