Oprah Winfrey should apologize

Do I want a regime where officials bust into people's homes, take their pet squirrels, then euthanize them?

Hmmm

 

Yeah, it all makes sense (or nonsense), if you've read his other posts. Instead of Trudgin'across theTundra, he seems to be paddlin' up that long river in Africa! (DeNile)

The trial and verdicts were nationally televised, and widely reported in respectable news sources all over the country. Transcripts of the proceeding, of course, were taken by the court reporter and duly filed with the court clerk in Manhattan. However, Trump's lawyers were twice successful in delaying sentencing on grounds that the impact, if any, on the recent SCOTUS opinion on presidential immunity could be assessed. The sentencing hearing has been scheduled for the 26th of this month. Is that what you mean by "not on the books"? We'll soon see ! (maybe.)

 

Is that the one where the partisan judge stated he was guilty before the arguments were made? The one where the Soros prosecutor campaigned on a promise to get this guy for something?

Is that the kind of "justice" you are comfortable living under?

One of the cases was that "he over-estimated the value of his assets".

You want THAT to be a precedent?

I mean, sure, I get that it's natural to be jealous of people who earn lots of wealth. It's not fair. But it's how things work in a free society. Fixing that will ultimately lead to oppression of ourselves. Let's be careful what we wish for.

Yes, that's what I meant by not on the books - it's not on the books.

In a better world as I see it, these crooks would be facing charges for trying to railroad a fellow citizen. As much as I think that would be beneficial to the rest of us, to send the message we can't tolerate the justice system being used to punish people we don't like, I'm expecting both sides to just drop it and move on.

 

Have you noticed, the first thing the bad guys go to is "Russia"? It's pretty funny, the level of ignorance and delusion. Some idiot even accused Tulsi Gabbard of some Russian asset or something lately. Of all the absurdities! They're gonna hafta get more creative with their lies before they can fool the people to swing back to their anti American power play agenda.

 

Yes! Don't feed the troll!

 

"Falsely claimed" - there it is again.

I think you meant credible sources? (Not creditable)
I don't believe those exist.
Name one credible source.

 

Looks like Jack Smith's request to drop the J-6 & Retained Classified Docs charges against Trump has been granted. The Special Counsel then resigned his position.
The charges against the co-defendents remain and will go to trial.

 

"That's a polite way of saying he lied."
It's pretending to be polite, and it's literally flagging the opposite.

How hard does one have to think about it to realize that there is no way in hell to be sure that there is, or is not, cheating in an election??? I can't know, you can't know, your favorite opinion people masquerading as news can't know, elected officials can't know, poll workers can't know, court personal can't know... Who can know? Nobody can know.

So when you see a source deemed credible by other opinion people saying a person "falsely claimed" an election was rigged, then they are effectively claiming to know the unknowable. You're smart enough to realize that destroys their credibility. They're just feeding us a line.

You're very good at listing sources to show that your opinion has come from sources, gotta give credit where credit is due, you're not pulling stuff from thin air. However, you're taking these sources as if they were factual. But they're not factual, they're opinionated. How do you know they're not factual? The example above shows it.

Now let's say you're listening to a report on mayhem that occurred at a protest against a proposal to remove a statue of a confederate leader, where counter protestors showed up and clashed, it got out of hand including one crazy person going off and killing someone -- and the news network put the president of the country on, he's making remarks and he says there are very fine people on both sides of the issue, and adds, by the way, I'm not talking about the neo Nazis etc. Straight up reporting.

The next day the news is telling you that the president called neo Nazis fine people. Is that lying? Of course! It's no mistake. I just heard the president the night before. But they're motivated to forward a narrative. And they expect their target audience to buy into it without question. They even play back part of what the president said while leaving off the clarification, in order to cement their distortion. The same network which aired the full statement on the night of!!! One on your list of credible sources!

It goes on and on. Masks help contain the blast of the wearer's cough or sneeze, but won't filter out viruses in the air. Then later, wear a mask to reduce your chance of acquiring the virus. Later, wear two masks.

Safe and effective. Get it and you won't get SARS-CoV-2.

The president suggested drinking bleach.

The president is colluding with Putin. And other enemy leaders.

It has all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation.

Twitter hate speech got worse under Musk.

Govt spending to subsidize green products reduced inflation.

Jan 6 was an insurrection to overthrow the govt.

Border patrol agents on horses whipped immigrants as they crossed the border illegally.

We are all going to die soon from acid rain, the new ice age, hole in the ozone layer, sea level rise, excess co2, increasing weather severity, bla,bla bla... But give us money and do as we say and we'll fix it for you!


It just goes on and on, and on and on. It's right there in your face. Take a partial truth, twist it around into something different to suit your purpose, and make it should plausible to a gullible target audience. It works, and it's effective, but it's dishonest. Not credible. Something they say might be true, might be false, but we don't know which.

I don't know if that helps you see the truth. It's really hard to grapple with the concept that we've been duped so hard for so long and we haven't seen it. There's no need to let it drive us crazy though -- just look into it and see it for what it is -- don't take any of it seriously, and even laugh at their attempts to get people to believe nonsense. They've gotten the better of all of us at one time. It's just the reality of the world we live in.
