the Republican propaganda is much stronger than the Democratic messaging. I mean, Democrats don't have media that is dedicated to brainwashing people,
Uh.... MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, FB.... and if you are talking about Fox News.... the same fox news that's owned by Disney.... the wokest fucking corporation in the world... I see a hold in your theory.
“ One thing I will say, the Republican propaganda machine is VERY GOOD.”
The propaganda has found paths into supposedly non political media. It nauseates me to see political trash in health and fitness influencer communities.
There are especially disturbing influencers who are presenting contraindicated solutions for psychological problems.
Yeah, and I'm sure Trump will be saying he was responsible for the infrastructure being built, even if is funded by the infrastructure bill. Not to mention all the chips factories, all the green economy factories (batteries, ev's, solar, etc). This is kind of like Marion saying there's all this industry coming to the south... Wait, don't they realize that this is during the Biden administration??? And a lot of that industry is seeded by the above laws that were passed under his watch?
I mean, we do have to admit, the Republican propaganda is much stronger than the Democratic messaging. I mean, Democrats don't have media that is dedicated to brainwashing people, and they also don't do messaging very well. I think they should start, even though it is kind of an evil thing. But if one side does it and the other doesn't, it's an unfair fight.
@sn
There are people so ill informed about federal government SOPs that they believe the pandemic relief checks were actually sent by Trump.
They have no clue how big businesses were given 2.2 trillion FREE.
This current admin (not sure if they should get the credit) served "ONE" group of Americans..... Like I said. This entire bullshit of "wages outpaced inflation" is just that. BULLSHIT! Maybe for some but not for most. Get off the fuckin internet and talk to people. Quit looking at some X report and actually ASK PEOPLE.
Yeah, you know, you're right, inflation outpaced wages during the recovery from the pandemic. I don't think anyone said it didn't. What they said was that there was a problem with inflation due to disruptions from the pandemic. The administration, along with the Fed (which works independently and apolitically), did the hard work to fix it. This is fixing supply chains, such as lockups at the ports, pushing negotiations when there were strikes of longshoremen and train operators, passing legislation to encourage re-shoring of manufacturing. So NOW wages are outpacing inflation. It's been outpacing inflation since the end of 2022. Inflation started soon after the transition between Trump and Biden, in Mar '21, which is also when the economy started to open up and being were starting to spend.
I disagree with your statement that the last administration helped ONLY one group. Wages rose fastest among the poorest americans. There were lots of wins by unions to get their fair share of their company's profits during the last 4 years. The longshoremen, teamsters, uaw, boeing mechanics, etc, the list is long, all got hefty wage increases. Now with this incoming administration, I bet we're going to get 4 years of union busting and suppressed wage growth for them, and excessive management pay. It's without a doubt the Biden administration was the most union friendly admin for a very, very long time. I'm hugely in favor of that since I think it's gotten crazy how bad the inequality has gotten, especially in these large companies. You can have executives making 10's of millions of dollars in pay, even when they run the company into the ground. Meanwhile, worker's wages have been stagnant for decades.
I don't doubt that you are right, if you talk to people many will say they are worse off, though there's also a lot of "well, I'm fine but I hear that the other people are doing worse off." I think it's a little of both. One thing I will say, the Republican propaganda machine is VERY GOOD. Despite all the really good things this admin has done for unions, we all know that lots and lots of union members voted for Trump. The cultural stuff is a natural draw for them, and the Republican propaganda machine is also pretty good at brainwashing them into voting against their own economic interest. Another example is how a lot of voters on Obamacare vote for Republican candidates who were running to kill Obamacare. Somehow, the Republican propaganda was good enough to confuse them into thinking Obamacare is communism which they don't want, and that the healthcare they are getting isn't the one that will be killed. Yep, it is that easy to sucker them into voting against their major interest, even if that healthcare is what might be keeping them alive (or at least healthy).
TBH, also, around where I am, I don't hear a lot of people saying they are worse off.... So that's why I can't talk about it - I just don't have any personal experience with it. I would if I had something like that to say. I do now have experience with a close friend of mine who might lose her healthcare under this new administration... I'm sure Trump is itching for another try at getting rid of Obamacare, and at the very least weakening it.
So your saying the Huma and Hilary Frazzle Drip video on Wieners Laptop in a folder marked Insurance was made just for me and people like me huh?
"Ive seen videos of Adrenocrome being extracted from tortured kids, Again Its a hoax huh?"
Yes, Mickey, it's a hoax. The videos are either made specially for you and people like you, heavily doctored, or, as in the case of your proof of cannibalism, which is a trailer for a fake movie within Grindhouse, made by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, something fictional repurposed to hoax you.
There aren't 800,000 children missing either. And you'll know that when none of these imaginary victims reappear during the Trump administration.
Hunter S. Thompson, in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, very possibly high when he wrote it, introduced the notion that adrenochrome had to be extracted from a murder/torture victim and could be used to get high. In 1971.
“ Oh PS molly Ive seen videos of Adrenocrome being extracted from tortured kids, Again Its a hoax huh?”
Thank you for sharing your hobbies.
Some people hike, collect antiques, volunteer but you, search for child molestation and murder porn. Gee you’re really a shining example of emotional well being.
When children are actually killed in their schools you call it a hoax. What a winner.
“ The adrenochrome hoax So this multi Billion dollar year business and the 800, 000 Missing kids in America are just a hoax huh? Ok You told me all I need to know.”
State the financial proof.
800,000 missing children do not remain missing you nut.
A large portion are taken by a parent without custody.
Only half that number is officially reported to law enforcement.
The state with the worst record is Texas. Anyone can tell you what kind of system Texas has.
Oh PS molly Ive seen videos of Adrenocrome being extracted from tortured kids, Again Its a hoax huh?
The adrenochrome hoax So this multi Billion dollar year business and the 800, 000 Missing kids in America are just a hoax huh? Ok You told me all I need to know.
I read "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" years ago, Mickey. That's the source material, along with some nonsense from Aldous Huxley, for the weird shit you've been told is true. The adrenochrome hoax that you believe is one of the things I'm pretty sure started as someone trolling people like you. It was likely an experiment in how wild - how gonzo, to give the nod to Mr. Thompson - a story could be and still be believed by the Anons.
Terrible things happen in the world, but this isn't one of them. You're just the victim of a particularly cruel hoax.
How will you know? When the victims don't surface during the Trump administration.
Molly very simple question, do you believe in AdrenoCrome and what its used for?
"Or does an internet report carry more weight than PEOPLE?"
Kind of, in that aggregate data are a more reliable measure than individuals. Like, I get that people feel poorer, and it's not just retirees who are breaking travel records. I'm interested in the discordance, but I'm not going to disbelieve the data because it doesn't align with the way people feel. (Seriously, my favorite pre-election voter anecdote was the woman voting for Trump because she thought the low unemployment rate was a bad thing and he would fix that. Which, hey, tariffs, so she's not wrong about the fixing that's coming.)
One at a time, people are unreliable narrators basically, but if you ask enough of them (or study what they do), the unreliability flattens out.
I do talk to people too, but if I want to know what's actually happening? I want facts, not opinions.
I guess some just do not understand that the American people are fed the fuck up with this entire Government. Woke fucking bullshit, Women with swinging dicks competing in women sports. Men with dicks can have periods and babies. Fuck outa here with that shit. The new Government will be very small and very American. We will be again The United States For America.
"Or does an internet report carry more weight than PEOPLE?"
LOL
Where do you think they get the data for the report?
They ask people...
Here's my motto for the next four years: You fuckers broke it, now you own it.
I'm ok with that. We broke what was already broken.
Thinking back over the last few years here is what I can recall. This current admin (not sure if they should get the credit) served "ONE" group of Americans. Those of you that are retired and living on 401k's or their stock portfolio. Sure, hell ya I want you to do good. Glad you got it. (I really am)
Besides that. Those of us that aren't getting a pension and enjoying a nice increase in their portfolio are feeling the brunt of things.
Like I said. This entire bullshit of "wages outpaced inflation" is just that. BULLSHIT! Maybe for some but not for most.
Get off the fuckin internet and talk to people. Quit looking at some X report and actually ASK PEOPLE.
Or does an internet report carry more weight than PEOPLE?
“ U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz was the lone vote in the House against an anti-human trafficking bill.”
-the Statesman
In the highly contentious House of Representatives, there was a decision that had nearly universal support.
Universally supported except for 1 person, Matt Gaetz, who is suddenly the proposed choice for Attorney General.
Placing operatives with extreme vulnerabilities as head of departments they seem most incapable of managing,is intentional.
It’s a Who’s Who of individuals entirely lacking in integrity and commitment to the best interests of the citizens.
How long will it be before donald uses the insurrection act?
All the denial of project 2025, is suddenly an acknowledgment, that it will be the incoming administration’s operating manual.
As they are celebrating how easily these denials were accepted, by a biased group of people, how many in the forum are going to acknowledge the deception?
That shit coming from the party where a sixteen year old should have political power to vote, get an abortion without her parents consent & can choose their gender at 3..... however a seventeen year old is considered underage.... depending on the state & the age gap.... that's perfectly legal...
“The guy who should be on a sex offender registry as Attorney General?“
When was “The guy” convicted of a crime that would have made him register ?
I know he resigned from his Congressional seat for the DOJ nomination. But if he's not confirmed, can he get his seat back?
My question is, are we talking 3 months, 6 months or a year before one of these selections resigns/terminated? We will see another revolving door for T.Diddy's selections.
Trolling the libs is more important than solving any problems.
For the libs in here... Ya...
“My bet is the Senate confirms - or allows recess appointments - for every one of Trump's picks.”
I would not touch that bet with a ten foot pole.
My bet is the Senate confirms - or allows recess appointments - for every one of Trump's picks. The Russian plant for Director of National Intelligence? Yep. The guy who should be on a sex offender registry as Attorney General? Hell yeah. RFK, Jr. as head of NIH or the FDA? You betcha.
I woke up last Wednesday, looked at the headlines, and shrugged. Here's my motto for the next four years: You fuckers broke it, now you own it.
And every ridiculous choice (Rubio isn't bad, although that chronic lying probably will keep him out of heaven) just makes me laugh. My only real regret is that George Carlin isn't alive to properly contextualize our slide into being a Russian client state.
