MAGA is petrified. They've spent 3 1/2 years telling you #Biden can't put his pants on by himself and can't maintain a thought, but now that we are a week from the debate, they know #Trump is the one who truly is having cognitive problems. Plus they know Biden is old but is not as decrepit as they've described him. What's the new lie? Biden is taking drugs, he's doping. It's so ridiculous and desperate. #MAGA is pathetic — Barry Markson #quotes#quote#Lies
"The right knows it has to create a counternarrative to Trump’s obvious mental decline and detract from Biden’s successes. They are undertaking a coordinated effort to equate Biden’s stiffness in his back and his awkward gait from his foot injury to his mental capacities, which remain clear and sharp by all accounts…."
@Jgmeadows I have no doubt at all that you're correct about that. They are unreachable by appeals to fact, logic, decency, respect for the common good, etc.
###. You were supposed to learn about the filtered version of the history, not the real one, not about the real bad guys not that Soviet army sacrificed 27 millions to defeat the Nazis for the US and UK to take credit for it.
When you prevent the children to learn the real history, when you prevent them from critical thinking, when you teach them that 6 million Jews were much much much more important than 27 million Soviets.
When you don't let them know that NATO was built by the former Nazis and so did the CIA and MIT not to forget almost all the financial institutions that built the western capitalism.
They have been supporting fascists and monsters all throughout history, the only different is that it's no longer just a few of us who are pointing it out but millions seeing it uncensored and live.
Suharto, Pinochet, Ferdinand Marcos, Ziaolhaqh, Somoza and sooo many other monsters with backing and support of the western leaders were all we saw, we fought and exposed. But the kids today starting to see the real news. From alternative media, from social networks. From eyewitness reports to understand the lies and propaganda of the west, the main stream media and sold out politicians.
I sure hope that this is the wake up call the world needs to end the 80 years of lies we have been fed to.
But I'm not that optimistic. And hope so badly that I'm wrong.
@faab64 civilians who hold hostages like little children and Immigrant workers in thier homes?
And what would happed If Israel wouldn't stand between the West Bank and Gaza? You Had a full scale civil war between Hamas and Fatah. Why you think isn't a war at the West Bank? Because the Fatah like that the IDF tried to destroy the Hamas. But of course they can say that out loud.
"The Trump campaign has seized on the essential truth that this election is about images and feelings rather than facts or policies. It is working to squeeze every vote it can out of its most extreme supporters by providing them with the high-octane Trumpiness they crave."
"But the campaign is also resorting to sometimes-desperate ploys in order to cover both candidates in a carefully formulated smog, hoping to obscure the differences between an old man who occasionally stumbles over his words and a nearly-as-old criminal who regularly wanders out of the gates of Fort Reality to go on a walkabout in the wilds of his unstable mind."
"In the end, the Trump campaign has chosen the path of deception both because the weaknesses of its candidate demand it and because it’s a more reliable path to better media coverage and to winning over credulous and inattentive voters. Why bother telling the truth if lying works so well?"
"Something has changed for me in the Trump era. I struggle more than I once did to wall off a person’s character from their politics when their politics is binding them to an unusually—and I would say undeniably—destructive person. The lies that MAGA world parrots are so manifestly untrue, and the Trump ethic is so manifestly cruel, that they are difficult to set aside."
It’s a day of reckoning today for #Infowars#ConspiracyTheorist#AlexJones, & a long-awaited culmination for the #SandyHook families who sued Jones for #defamation. A federal bankruptcy judge in Texas has decided that Jones must sell off his personal assets through a Chpt 7 liquidation in order to pay families nearly $1.5B in #damages for spreading #lies that the 2012 #SchoolShooting never happened.
#Freedom, #justice, #equality, and #opportunity are #values the majority of #Americans can agree on. The #GOP as it is incarnated now so narrows the scope of applicability as to make their positions utter falsehoods for large groups of people. The majority can see through their #lies, but adherents see #mendacity as the cost of doing business. But at least they believe what they profess and the means to get there. #Democrats on the other hand, are facing a crisis of #legitimacy. The #contradictions between #democratic values and #foreign_policy have been laid bare. #Israel/Gaza, the #TikTok ban, and the heavy-handed #police response to campus #demonstrations have shown that democratic values will be tossed aside the moment they conflict with #policy goals and manufactured #consensus. It's not that people don't #believe in the values Democrats profess; it's that people don't believe that Democrats believe in these values.
If, like roughly a hundred million Americans, you regularly consume fascist propaganda in the guise of cable “news” (fox, newsmax, & other propaganda outlets) online disinformation publications, and the platform formerly known as Twitter, it’s likely that at least some of that fascist propaganda is originating in Moscow.
Kremlin documents reveal Russian trolls are targeting U.S. support for Ukraine and engaging in a significant campaign to undermine U.S. elections and discourage voting.
This is why anyone who used the "genocide joe" a couple months back tag got a block/unfollow. I know an easily-manipulated bleating sheep when I see one.
Hitler, Mandela, Putin, Jesus, whatever. It's all random words of untruthful messaging and seemingly contagious idiocy — @OurShallowState#quotes#quote#Trump#Lies
#Trump claimed today at his speech in front of #law enforcement officers in #Michigan that he called the family of #RubyGarcia, who was killed by a friend of hers who was a migrant. Trump claimed he spoke to several of her family members….
Ruby Garcia's sister Mavi Garcia told WOOD TV8 that neither Trump nor any member of his campaign have contacted her or any of her family members, & was upset that Trump was #exploiting migrants.
The family of #BrianSicknick, the #PoliceOfficer who died during the #Jan6 attack, blasted Trump’s appearance at a wake Thurs for slain #NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller.
Charles & Kenneth Sicknick on Fri expressed condolences to Diller’s family, but said #Trump’s appearance, especially the #PressConference outside a funeral home, was nothing but an #inappropriate#PoliticalStunt.
“He makes sure he gets his face out there. The guy’s a #criminal. He’s the reason my son is dead — because of the riot at the Capitol,” Charles #Sicknick, Brian’s dad, told the DailyNews. “He’s a publicity hound. #Trump does whatever will get him votes & helps Donald Trump. There’s nothing good about that man.”
The family held a memorial for #BrianSicknick in Jan & visited his grave at Arlington National Cemetery. “We went over to Arlington to talk to him, to my son’s ashes,” Charles said. “He was a good & decent young man & it’s terrible that this happened because of some lunatic who was in the White House.”
In the 3 yrs that have passed, Kenneth Sicknick says the public’s memory seems to have faded, “It seems like #Jan6 is 100 yrs ago for some people, & people don’t realize #Trump is responsible….”
Lev Parnas, former associate of Rudy Giuliani, testified yesterday to the House Oversight Committee, stating,
"The only information ever pushed on the Bidens and Ukraine has come from one source and one source only: Russia and Russian agents.” Parnas added that impeachment proceedings against Biden were "predicated on a bunch of false information that is being spread by the Kremlin."
"Trump’s appearance in Georgia … reflected a man not rooted in any kind of reality, one who struggled to remember his words and who was, by any definition, incoherent, disconnected, and frequently malicious. …
Watch his speeches. Share them widely. Don’t look away."
