Manipulation, deceit, and open lying in politics.
We have a moment of honesty. Kevin McCarthy established he’s a bald liar. Here’s a test of basic media competence: will the press still repeat whatever he tells them? We get to find out if reporting is dead.
Hate being ‘managed?’ Me too. One way to spot media manipulation is to look for the puppet strings. Today’s Washington Post has a fawning article about Defense Secretary Austin Lloyd’s Russian phone calls. It’s not news; it’s underhanded PR.
The Republican leadership and their overlords decided to start a new American revolution, just so they could have oligarchy levels of power and massive wealth. These closet Marxists are using agitation to destabilize democracy.
I’d hoped that Matt Bai’s opinion pieces were terrible because of time shortages, but I was wrong. His other work depends on embedded misinformation and broken logic, reflecting poorly on the Post.
When Republicans grab at more power, Dems offer them more policy compromises. “Will you be happy if we give you more?” Are we stupid? Republicans won’t govern; they’re breaking democracy’s back.
Republicans will kill the filibuster the instant they get their next majority. Fix it now instead of just waiting for the GOP shock troops.
Is this nation exceptional? If so, I’d think we’d work harder to save America now that Republicans are overthrowing our system of elections. Our democracy is at risk, and we’re sitting on our hands.
The Jan. 6th Insurrectionists brought lots of handcuffs. They wanted hostages. Would they have killed them, or just tortured a few? That would have caused huge carnage.
Did Trump want a high body count for his excuse?
