John Oliver FINALLY gets it: “I am mad for trans people who’ve been threatened. I’m disgusted at the prospect of mass deportation. I’m furious at Biden for not dropping out earlier and that the egos and inaction of two men older than credit cards themselves have led us to this point,”

Still arguing both sides are the same, eh John?

This is why Trump is President-Elect. You should have picked a side. Instead you decided to go with blaming Democrats.

Own it.

Our dog is very strange. He doesn’t particularly like belly rubs. Scratching his butt? He LOVES that.

He also like sleeping between us while we watch TV.

He’s very odd.

Florida made its own bed by issuing edicts to prevent migrant labor.

You reap what you sow.

This SHOULD have been a lesson for the country, but apparently most people want to pick lettuce (they actually don’t.)

@Vanitas @catlynne333 @Tee_Lynn

Harris is a fundamentally good and lawful person. I do not see here saying Trump is not President as being part of her nature.

Biden is at a point in his life I can see him breaking the law to save democracy—but maybe a 20% chance as he is still fundamentally a good person.

The problem is that most Democrats are for the rule of law.

Republicans have shown that they are more than willing to violate it.

@Lulz4l1f3

So it wasn’t the economy. We agree.

It was implicit price fixing (which is legal) vs overt price fixing (which is illegal).

Inflation cooled and everything is kosher except the press which was still yelling about inflation (they tried to correct that as misinformation but stopped and just went with the flow—again assisting Trump).

I agree, businesses were fucking us over. But the media went along with Trump’s view (same with unemployment which they stopped correcting).

@FreedomATX @SaltyVeruca @Lulz4l1f3

Number 1–it might feel better, but meh, a phyrric victory? Does very little for me.

Number 2–that would perhaps work. As lng as MSM was on board.

Let’s face it, Trump was the worst candidate in our nation’s history. A racist, sexist, insurrectionist criminal with dementia would not become President WITHOUT the help of a complicit media.

As I’ve said before, we would have run someone better than Harris, but Jesus Christ was unavailable.

@JazzCrafter

More so now that they have seen Fox get INCREDIBLY rich peddling lies.

A corporation only exists to make money. Not to help society.

@Tee_Lynn @catlynne333

Do you really see her breaking the law? Biden, maybe (but unlikely). Harris? Not even.

@Lulz4l1f3

There is ample proof that it was not the economy. It was businesses jacking prices. But it was easier for the media to say it was the economy. This helped Trump and hurt Harris.

Again, it was a lie. The economy is actually almost back to normal—grocery prices are just business stealing from us.

But they called it the “economy.”

This is how a lie hurts we the people. When it is amplified by the press.

@Lulz4l1f3

The corporate business model has seen it is FAR MORE PROFITABLE to be conservative and lie (see Fox News) than be liberal and tell the truth.

How many news services repeated verbatim the racist lie about immigrants eating pets and did ZERO RESEARCH to prove it wasn’t true. Then went on to repeat every time it was said. Over and over.

Because a lie repeated gains strength even with repeated denials.

How do you stop a lie. Don’t fucking repeat it.

MSM didnt stop it.

@Lulz4l1f3

That’s what MSM says, but it’s not close to the truth. They went up under Obama and Dubya (who put us onto two long wars). They got re-elected.

The MSM publishes opinion pieces as news. I just skipped several articles about “How to Survive the Trump Presidency”—if that is news, I’ll paint my body blue and run through traffic. MSM is not Cassandra and cannot predict the future.

This is an opinion.

MSM is no longer talking about news. They are spreading propaganda.

@SaltyVeruca @Lulz4l1f3

I’m not really sure what this would accomplish myself. Prove she was ready to be President for all of two months? To be the token black President? I agree that she should have Secret Service for the rest of her life.

But other than having Seal Team Six at her disposal, I see nothing that will help.

We’ve all thought this. It’s not really stunning.

“A former Kamala Harris adviser shocked a CNN panel on Sunday with a wild proposition: Joe Biden should resign the presidency and allow Kamala Harris to reign as the first woman president.”

https://www.yahoo.com/news/ex-harris-aide-urges-biden-175608785.html

The docs suck.

Nope. Slate gets it wrong.

“ When faced with the options of chaos, greed, and anger or relative common sense—the kind wielded by a competent, qualified Black woman—voters overwhelmingly chose the former. It wasn’t the fascism-loving guy who spurred an insurrection whom they couldn’t trust. It was the Black woman.”

It was the Fourth Estate. When you have “news” corporations sane-washing a candidate? That’s not news, that’s propaganda.

They are still lying.

Work on my git client was going great until I started playing with Draw Things, a free client thingy that allows the download of AI’s and it wasted two whole days so far. And free.

It’s a lot of fun, doesn’t use a server farm and oh, free.
