Politics Thread

[Masterofreality]

Glad to be here to provide you comedic relief.
I watch all the different news channels, not just NBC. So I watched Hannity parrot the lies, until he went under oath.
Wonder if they will end up paying Dominion?

When is Adam Schiff, an elected politician, going to produce proof of Trump collusion, Paul?
Some of us don’t watch cable “news” performance at all.
Maybe that’s your issue?

MOR, this is a politics thread, and open for comment on political news of the day.

Paul, the 2016 election is absolutely not the news of the day..you just chose to make it so on this forum. Literally 99.9% of the people on this board have moved on and we've also proven that there's not a single person on this board who denies the results of the 2016 election(maybe 1?). You're literally preaching to a group of people who just don't care. There is soooo much more substantive material to discuss in today's political climate, yet you bring up the same thing over and over and over again. I'm sure there are forums where people will engage in the debate that you're seeking, but it's not here. Change the record.

Not sure where you live. I don't deny the results of the 2016 election.

There are a lot of people who apparently deny the results of the 2020 election, including the former president.
And some governor candidates with the 2022 elections.

Lake and Trump continue, in the latter case 2 years later, pushing stolen election nonsense and lies. That's the similarity.
Even Hannity, under oath, had to admit that he didn't believe them. But he kept pushing them
And some people believe it, still, to the detriment of our country,

Some of you in Cincinnati might remember Daryl Parks as program director for WLW. He always talked about his 3 rules, two of which apply here.

1. It’s all about ratings and revenue.

2. Never let facts get in the way of a good talk show.

It is truly amazing how MSM can drive a narrative or lack there of. The Harvard-Harris poll on immigration is stunning. Basically if the news doesn’t cover, most don’t understand the problem. This article highlights the point.

My favorite quote from article.

Bill Melugin, who has covered the current crisis close-up since it began, was asked about coverage on the national networks. "I can count on one hand the amount of times I've seen them down here in my 19 months of covering this,"

Since I’ve had a little time off during the day, MSNBC and CNN are constantly talking about Trump in one form or another. If people are tired of Trump news, get off the channels, twitter, or the blogs. Where as Fox is devoting a lot of time on the border and very little on Trump. Obviously all are just giving news that creates ratings to BJF’s point. All the late night opinion shows are so biased and just trash IMO.

Thomas Massie earlier today:

"January 6th committee to adjourn without fulfilling year old promise to release Epps transcript.

The one person on film telling people to go into the Capitol (multiple times) disappears from FBI list and is not even mentioned in the 845 page final report."

WHY???

So what about Ray Epps? And what about those pipe bombs? What about the NW Scaffold Commander?

"In clips 4-6 of the above compilation, we see Epps actively orchestrate elements of the very first breach of the Capitol barricades at 12:50 p.m, while Trump still had 20 minutes left in his rally speech.

It is noteworthy that this Ray Epps breach occurs just one minute after Capitol Police began responding to reports of two “pipe bombs” located at DNC and GOP headquarters, respectively. Rather conveniently, the already-handicapped Capitol Police thus had still-fewer resources with which to respond to the barricade breach in question."

Paul, how come you don't seem to care about this extremely important detail?

Yea! The 1.7T omnibus will finally spend money on the border! Just not ours...

"the bill designates $410 million dollars for "enhanced border security" in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia and Oman"


Meanwhile, we continue to give obscene amounts of our tax dollars to that international welfare queen in Ukraine:

"The longest government shutdown in history occurred in 2018-2019 because Trump asked for $5 billion to build the wall.

The $45 billion Ukraine aid in the Omnibus will bring our total given to that country over $100 billion, enough to build 20+ walls on the southern border."

Go kick your 18 republican senators who voted for it.

I got a lot of problems with you people, and now you're going to hear about it! Yo, MOR, my son tells me that your company stinks! (Quiet, you'll get yours in a minute) MOR, you couldn't silk a smooth sheen if you had a hot date with a big...

I lost my train of thought.

And now, we move on to the Feats of Strength. This year, the honor goes to Smails.

Haha!
For some reason I cannot post my George Happy Festivus greeting card pic where I will make a donation to the Human Fund. That’s the “Money for People” people.
