God!!! Our corporate media sucks

Watched a few.minutes of cable "news" this morning.

You could actually feel the spin.

Seems the billionaires marching orders are to emphasize that "now is the time, or maybe the chance to find that 'elusive, bipartisan agreement'"

See! All it took were some "state sanctioned" executions of innocent American citizens to bring "both sides" to the "negotiating table".

Sure, Nazi goons assassinated two Americans and beat the shit out of hundreds of men, women and children, but at least "Mein Fuhrer had a phonecall with Governor Walz"...that has to be progress, right?

"Europe is SAVED!!!! Neville Chamberlain and Hitler had a nice conversation". That has to be a "sign of progress", right?

I swear to God! It's like being on the Titanic and expressing "hope" because "at least the iceberg and the ship have agreed to meet".

To quote you above… “ I swear to God! It's like being on the Titanic and expressing "hope" because "at least the iceberg and the ship have agreed to meet".”

Well played!

People just don't get it.

Kash Patel is doubling down, he has the FBI investigating the peaceful protests because he knows that the people will bring down the Nazis.

Look at your home page on the internet, there are hundreds of articles demonizing the peaceful protests.

The headline that really pissed me off was that Republicans are calling for investigations, really? Bullshit.

3 fucking Senate Magats are concerned, Tillis Cassidy, and Susie are concerned.

The fucking murderers are trying to demonize an ICU nurse who worked at a VA hospital. His family sent a video to Nicolle Wallace, she played it yesterday where Pretti was honoring one of his patients at his bedside with his family present. These evil bastards will demonize Jesus Christ were he to return. Fuck talk of bipartisanship, the bastards all own those 2 murders.

It is up to us, the people to save ourselves.

That says it all.
The "captain" has steered the boat into dangerous waters, and doesn't seem to care what happens.

And today I read that Vance and Rubio are going to use ICE agents as bodyguards when they go to the Olympics in Italy next month.

https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/europe/mayor-milan-ice-italy-winter-olympics-backlash-b2908509.html

This is an obvious attempt to legitimize these brown shirted killers. The last thing we need is to have a group of untrained, undisciplined, violent, trigger happy goons at the Olympics where they're be plenty of people ready to protest against the evils of the Trump regime.
What could go wrong?
