'Meddle' let's talk about the word

[superpatriotman]

It sounds almost folksy.

Certainly not threatening. Just a little irritating.

It must have been Luntz workshopped.

Prepare for all un servatives and regressive talking heads to use the word constantly in the evolving narrative of America's criminal coup.

1. It's a stupid word. No explanation of context or intent

I can 'meddle' in your thread here by simply posting

2. It is kind of a soft term to describe what happened...

3. "Meddle" was the early GOP framing, and the media oh-so-helpfully

adopted it, right along with the "the Democratic Party has no message" and "Hillary ran the worst campaign ever" false narratives.

At the end of the day, the press was so busy chasing overblown controversies and troubling optics on the part of Democrats that they missed one of the biggest stories of the past fifty years. They minimize their own abrogation of journalistic integrity in the service of generating revenue when they use the term "meddling" rather than the more accurate "sabotage".

History will not absolve them.

4. They did this after 9/11, calling terrorists "folks."

"The folks who attacked us," was the most jarring sounding phraseology I have heard until they trotted out "meddling" to describe an attack on the United States by a hostile power.

Apparently, some Japanese folks meddled with our fleet at Pearl Harbor.

5. Like a dog getting into the garden

Or a sewing circle gossip.

6. "It must have been Luntz workshopped." Absolutely!!!

So much nicer sounding and obfuscating than brainwashed, headscrewed, tricked, deceived, mindfucked, suckered, etc.

[superpatriotman]

7. Sabotage

[Hortensis]

10. "Sabotage." WAR is another good one.

I'm finally expecting actual "DOCUMENTED ELECTION THEFT." Not merely suckering voters into giving Putin a huge victory.

14. Media (and we) need to call what happened by its name

It was a military attack on the United States of America

Call it a cyber attack, call it electronic warfare on our election systems, call it by other name besides "meddling"

"Meddling" is what your MIL does to your spouse, meddling is what parents do to their kids when they have friends they don't like.
