On a side note, wouldn't you love to see Danielle Moodie go up against MTG in a debate? She would give that hillbilly yokel a verbal slap down.. I hate bullies and I hate liars.. lol On second thought if Danielle went up against greene, Midge would switch it and cry "I'm the victim." MAGATS are great at that.. when not bullying, they play the victim.. You're right, we need to keep them all out of power so they go back under their rocks. lol

It seems to have become a way of life for these people in their cult. And they love to project what they are doing onto the Left and blame them lol. And you gotta love Mary Trump. She is a big pain in Donald's behind. Talk about a dysfunctional family! MTG.... I have no words. At least none that I can say here. She is becoming the face of the GOP. Her and that pursed lips Lauren Boebert. I am not sure which one I love the most lol. |

Nikki Haley is just another George (or Jeb!) Bush.
She is weak on the border, doesn’t want a wall, claimed "Legal Immigrants are more patriotic than most Americans these days,” and she defended Obama when Pres. Trump criticized his terrible open-borders policy.
And Nikki Haley refused to support a transgender bathroom bill to protect children.
If we wanted a “Bush in heels,” Republicans would vote for Liz Cheney.

And then this fox news bombshell yesterday.. Fox News anchors and producers privately acknowledged that former President Donald Trump and his allies' allegations of election fraud in the aftermath of the 2020 election were false despite their network's promotion of those claims, according to a new court filing by Dominion Voting Systems. In a nearly 200-page document filed as part of its billion-dollar defamation suit against the network, Dominion Voting Systems shared emails, texts, testimony, and other private communications from Fox News personnel that cast doubt on claims that Dominion's voting machines had somehow rigged the presidential election in Joe Biden's favor." abcnews.go.com/.../fox-news-hosts-called.../story... I see non fox news viewers writing on message boardd how the fox supporters should be upset because fox blatantly lied to their viewers basically cheating them... I don't see it that way..I find it very difficult to believe these people are foolish enough to actually believe the election fraud lies..We all saw it unfold and the countless court cases lost due to insufficient evidence.. When the numbers came in and fox had to deliver the horrible n ews to trump supporters that their leader lost.. they got triggered. and badly. I remember watching all of them on the fox news page.. many of them vouched to cancel or boycott fox and they urged others to watch OAN or the other newsmax because fox wasn't telling them what they wanted to hear..but OAN was telling them the election was rigged... Why would these people all of sudden not believe what their mothership fox was telling them..?? You have to understand.. these people for the most part.. the 30 percent have zero emotional intelligence.. and yeah part of it is being brainwashed or gullible..but to me it's like a spoiled child who throws a tantrum when they don't get their way....they kick and scream and ask Mommy for whatever it is they want.. and Mommy says NO.. . so then they stomp their feet and go ask daddy the same question over and over ..thinking he will say Yes and give in to them..asking everybody until they like the answer given. And they talk about others being triggered..I Love what you have said about them and I always remember that great advise.. "the only way to stop them and to keep them out of power is to VOTE THEM OUT.. then they crawl back under their rocks. When is this BS going to end?? lol |

this article is from 2020 so it just goes to show you their audience still does not care about the truth. All they care about is confirmation bias so they can perpetuate the gaslit lies FOX and conservative media have brainwashed them with for decades. You really cannot reason with these people nor will they accept fact check sites even if shown to them by their beloved mammy. It's like talking to zombies or meatheads...dead from the neck up. They need to be kept out of power. FOX NEWS Lawyers Tell Court: Our Audience Doesn't Assume We Tell the Truth www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/6/17/1953945/-FOX-NEWS-Lawyers-Tell-Court-Our-Audience-Doesn-t-Assume-We-Tell-the-TruthAny fair-minded person who has watched Fox News for more than fifteen minutes knows that the network will twist, distort, mangle, and deliberately lie in the pursuit of their mission to disseminate right-wing propaganda. It is why they were created by conservative media baron Rupert Murdoch and Republican campaign hack Roger Ailes. The evidence of Fox's purposefully dishonest "reporting" has been documented for years by a multitude of journalists and fact-checkers. But for the purpose of this article it isn't necessary to provide any links to that documentation. That's because Fox news has admitted it themselves in a court of law. What we are talking about are devotees of a media cult who blindly believe whatever they are told by Fox News and their current cult master, Donald Trump. They not only assume that what Fox says is true, they regard it as the gospel from a divine source. The bottom line is that now any time Tucker Carlson, or Sean Hannity, or Laura Ingraham or the "Curvy Couch" potatoes of Fox and Friends, attempt to pass off their lies and insults as "news," it will be much easier to refute them with these admissions made by Fox's legal team in a court of law. And the cherry on top of this sundae is that they will probably lose the defamation suit as well. |

my comment to this article. I have to be careful because my comments often get rejected so they have to be worded in such a way. I am just trying to educate people to what has been happening and why:
So the major purveyor of conservatism and conservative lies and gaslighting have been oligarch Rupert Murdoch and his propaganda ministers Hannity, Carlson, Ingraham and the FOX couch potatoes. They have turned a right wing political cult into a self perpetuating industrial cult like Frankenstein's monster that has gotten way out of hand.

Technically a foreign national is not supposed to own a media company in the US. That's why FAUX is licensed as an entertainment channel, not a news network! The under educated never understood that fact.
The people that should be paying attention to this will ignore the truth and fact as they are beyond help having been brainwashed with lies, conspiracy theories and propaganda from Fox News. Those that do read about this and will no longer trust Fox will move on to Newsmax and other rabid extreme right sources that will continue to tell them what they want to hear, not what they need to hear!
The horse has left the barn. To late to close the door now. Plus those who believe in election fraud are not going to just believe it now. Have you talked with a Trumper? Many think Fox news is becoming liberal. Like all conspiracy theorist, you can't really reason with them and when you do, they tend to double down on their beliefs. Believe me, I've tried and it's just an exercise in frustration.
If Fox told their viewers the truth, they would abandon Fox for Newsmax. Fox’s viewers can’t handle the truth. They want to be lied to.
Hannity, Murdock, Carlson, Ingraham, Trump and Santos all have the same problem. If they told you what time it was you better check you watch. Those 3 on Fox have caused grave damage to the United States. They are partly responsible for the insurrection and riot due to their constant lies every night which got the Trump supporters all riled up who watch FOX religiously and believe everything they say.
He absolutely needs to lose his empire. For someone willing to lie and disrupt the country as much as it has he needs to lose everything.
This blatant and fully cognitive lie has cost the country billions of dollars, lives, marriages, friendships and congress. Leaders pushed the Big Lie and even tried to use fake electors which, if successful, would have invalidated the voter's wills of numerous states and thrown the presidential and congressional elections. They all should be in prison. There should be zero judicial tolerance for people that have taken this loss of our electoral system and Republic this far.
The fact that they all knew and stirred their viewers into a frenzy over trivial things while nothing is done to help the 99% and our government is continuously held hostage by the fake "freedom fighters." The only freedom they fight for is oligarch donors that line their pockets while causing suffering to the masses that should pick themselves uo by the bootstraps on $7.25/hour.
That shouldn't even be considered free speech. To assert that a journalist can spread lies about the election being stolen to millions of viewers, while they themselves know they are lies simply told to feed the MAGA brainwashed crowd to keep ratings high, should make them legally culpable for the overt and dangerous lies they spread and the actions resulting from those lies - both civilly and criminally.
Rupert Murdoch owner Of fox and 200 newspapers and majority stock holder in Fox , citizen of Australia tried to topple our government along with a few others....His fine should be triple 1.5 billion and prison time... plus pay all cost of all states recounts of vote challenges.
How funny and ironic.............trump knew he lost, his team and kids new he lost, fox knew he lost, 75% of America knew he lost, but it was the push of fake information from the irresponsible stooges on fox pushing the "big lie" to the lower educated, lower IQ, gullible maga cult minions that believed the lies. Look at the crowds that went to the orange more on-s "rah rah give me your money" rallies. A picture is worth 1000 words!
Trump was not part of the the Long Con that was planned over 40 years ago by right wing billionaires, but he sure brought it to the forefront.

This isn't just about FOX. There is a real history to this big business conservative movement behind the FOX curtain that is a genuine threat to our American Republic and well being as a nation.
Rupert Murdoch did not get as wealthy as he is without putting profits before ethics. Turning against Trump would cost FOX dearly in profits. One thing to keep in mind, is that a business man who is more honest then his competitors, will not be in business for long. FOX has nothing to worry about in that regard.
Pandering to an ignorant audience engaged in wishful thinking as opposed to reality is major REVENUE for treasonous liars. That's all right wingers like Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro, Laura Ingraham, and Alex Jones really care about - the Almighty Buck and keeping that money from their audiences rolling in. They put their own financial self-interests ahead of the truth and American Democracy.
Their punishment shouldn’t be just a fine. It should be community service. That should include a 30 second disclaimer before every “news” program that the viewer should know that they have been proven beyond a reasonable doubt to peddle lies and propaganda in the past, and that the news “show” should not be taken seriously
I blame rightie talk radio and Fox for destroying so many folks' minds. Clearly they think their way is it. We are a diverse country, (I"m white), but you would never know it from the comments here. (I'll be attacked). We could be so much better.
Fox viewers will never admit they were conned. That would be too smart and mature.
People like that seek confirmation bias even when they know it is a con. They use it as an excuse to do what they do, think like they think and play their victimization game.
Fox News has spent years promoting lies and has caused untold damage to our nation. They are complicit in January 6th, and had a primary role in giving Donald Trump credibility, as he lied his way across the media mentality of America. Trump's belief that he can flimflam just about anyone had it's roots in the Fox fake news empire. Murdoch himself became a very rich man....first in Australia, then in England, by focusing on spectacularism, devoid of accuracy and truth, to sell newspapers. To the chagrin of America, he brought his clown car here to our great nation, and in doing so has damaged our political landscape beyond belief. Tens of millions have been influenced with bogus ideas and fake conspiracies, while Murdoch virtually took over American news, got filthy rich, and entrenched himself as an influencer to Presidents. Expanding into television, he successfully married his particular stain of fake news into the number one news entity. People, after all, love to be angry at something and he provides plenty of miss-leading fodder for the masses. He should be stripped of the citizenship that Roanld Reagan gifted him, and sent packing!
What FOX did was give a platform for a proven liar way after the 2020 election helping to cause the Jan. 6 insurection. Maybe that sort of thing is okay in Australia but planned armed attacks on our government is a capital offence in some cases.
Fox was never a news network but it was a propaganda outlet for Trump and the GOP. It's time they went public about their election lies and paid a big settlement to Dominion for defamation. I hope that every far right website and social media gets sued also.

"Dark Money" by Jane Mayer; "The Impostors" by Steve Benen; "Too Much and Never Enough" by Mary L. Trump; "Blowout" by Rachel Maddow.
Who are the immensely wealthy right-wing ideologues shaping the fate of America today? From the bestselling author of The Dark Side, an electrifying work of investigative journalism that uncovers the agenda of this powerful group.
In her new preface, Jane Mayer discusses the results of the most recent election and Donald Trump's victory, and how, despite much discussion to the contrary, this was a huge victory for the billionaires who have been pouring money in the American political system.
Why is America living in an age of profound and widening economic inequality? Why have even modest attempts to address climate change been defeated again and again? Why do hedge-fund billionaires pay a far lower tax rate than middle-class workers? In a riveting and indelible feat of reporting, Jane Mayer illuminates the history of an elite cadre of plutocrats—headed by the Kochs, the Scaifes, the Olins, and the Bradleys—who have bankrolled a systematic plan to fundamentally alter the American political system. Mayer traces a byzantine trail of billions of dollars spent by the network, revealing a staggering conglomeration of think tanks, academic institutions, media groups, courthouses, and government allies that have fallen under their sphere of influence. Drawing from hundreds of exclusive interviews, as well as extensive scrutiny of public records, private papers, and court proceedings, Mayer provides vivid portraits of the secretive figures behind the new American oligarchy and a searing look at the carefully concealed agendas steering the nation. Dark Money is an essential book for anyone who cares about the future of American democracy.

“This is the definitive account of what has gone wrong in our two-party system, and how our democracy has to adapt to survive it. I can't say it in strong enough terms: Read. This. Book.” —RACHEL MADDOW
The award-winning producer of The Rachel Maddow Show exposes the Republican Party as a gang of impostors, meticulously documenting how they have abandoned their duty to govern and are gravely endangering America
For decades, American voters innocently assumed the two major political parties were equally mature and responsible governing entities, ideological differences aside. That belief is due for an overhaul: in recent years, the Republican Party has undergone an astonishing metamorphosis, one so baffling and complete that few have fully reckoned with the reality and its consequences.
Republicans, simply put, have quit governing. As MSNBC's Steve Benen charts in his groundbreaking new book, the contemporary GOP has become a "post-policy party." Republicans are effectively impostors, presenting themselves as officials who are ready to take seriously the substance of problem solving, but whose sole focus is the pursuit and maintenance of power. Astonishingly, they are winning–at the cost of pushing the political system to the breaking point.
Despite having billed itself as the "party of ideas," the Republican Party has walked away from the hard but necessary work of policymaking. It is disdainful of expertise and hostile toward evidence and arithmetic. It is tethered to few, if any, meaningful policy preferences. It does not know, and does not care, about how competing proposals should be crafted, scrutinized, or implemented. This policy nihilism dominated the party's posture throughout Barack Obama's presidency, which in turn opened the door to Donald Trump -- who would cement the GOP's post-policy status in ways that were difficult to even imagine a few years earlier.
The implications of this approach to governance are all-encompassing. Voters routinely elect Republicans such as Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz to powerful offices, expecting GOP policymakers to have the technocratic wherewithal to identify problems, weigh alternative solutions, forge coalitions, accept compromises, and apply some level of governmental competence, if not expertise. The party has consistently proven those hopes misguided.
The result is an untenable political model that's undermining the American policymaking process and failing to serve the public's interests. The vital challenge facing the civil polity is coming to terms with the party's collapse as a governing entity and considering what the party can do to find its policymaking footing anew.
The Impostors serves as a devastating indictment of the GOP's breakdown, identifying the culprits, the crisis, and its effects, while challenging Republicans with an imperative question: Are they ready to change direction? As Benen writes, "A great deal is riding on their answer."
In this revelatory, authoritative portrait of Donald J. Trump and the toxic family that made him, Mary L. Trump, a trained clinical psychologist and Donald’s only niece, shines a bright light on the dark history of their family in order to explain how her uncle became the man who now threatens the world’s health, economic security, and social fabric.
Mary Trump spent much of her childhood in her grandparents’ large, imposing house in the heart of Queens, New York, where Donald and his four siblings grew up. She describes a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships, and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse. She explains how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who currently occupies the Oval Office, including the strange and harmful relationship between Fred Trump and his two oldest sons, Fred Jr. and Donald.
A firsthand witness to countless holiday meals and interactions, Mary brings an incisive wit and unexpected humor to sometimes grim, often confounding family events. She recounts in unsparing detail everything from her uncle Donald’s place in the family spotlight and Ivana’s penchant for regifting to her grandmother’s frequent injuries and illnesses and the appalling way Donald, Fred Trump’s favorite son, dismissed and derided him when he began to succumb to Alzheimer’s.
Numerous pundits, armchair psychologists, and journalists have sought to parse Donald J. Trump’s lethal flaws. Mary L. Trump has the education, insight, and intimate familiarity needed to reveal what makes Donald, and the rest of her clan, tick. She alone can recount this fascinating, unnerving saga, not just because of her insider’s perspective but also because she is the only Trump willing to tell the truth about one of the world’s most powerful and dysfunctional families.
In 2010, the words “earthquake swarm” entered the lexicon in Oklahoma. That same year, a trove of Michael Jackson memorabilia—including his iconic crystal-encrusted white glove—was sold at auction for over $1 million to a guy who was, officially, just the lowly forestry minister of the tiny nation of Equatorial Guinea. And in 2014, Ukrainian revolutionaries raided the palace of their ousted president and found a zoo of peacocks, gilded toilets, and a floating restaurant modeled after a Spanish galleon. Unlikely as it might seem, there is a thread connecting these events, and Rachel Maddow follows it to its crooked source: the unimaginably lucrative and equally corrupting oil and gas industry.
With her trademark black humor, Maddow takes us on a switchback journey around the globe, revealing the greed and incompetence of Big Oil and Gas along the way, and drawing a surprising conclusion about why the Russian government hacked the 2016 U.S. election. She deftly shows how Russia’s rich reserves of crude have, paradoxically, stunted its growth, forcing Putin to maintain his power by spreading Russia’s rot into its rivals, its neighbors, the West’s most important alliances, and the United States. Chevron, BP, and a host of other industry players get their star turn, most notably ExxonMobil and the deceptively well-behaved Rex Tillerson. The oil and gas industry has weakened democracies in developed and developing countries, fouled oceans and rivers, and propped up authoritarian thieves and killers. But being outraged at it is, according to Maddow, “like being indignant when a lion takes down and eats a gazelle. You can’t really blame the lion. It’s in her nature.”
Blowout is a call to contain the lion: to stop subsidizing the wealthiest businesses on earth, to fight for transparency, and to check the influence of the world’s most destructive industry and its enablers. The stakes have never been higher. As Maddow writes, “Democracy either wins this one or disappears.”
