So you characterize yourself as looking at US politics through an "unbiased lens" while fingering the Dems for some "weaponization" of government? Are Trump's beliefs, which align with yours, also "moderate conservative"? Trump believes the election was stolen and that he was only doing his job when he asked the Georgia SoS to find him votes, and pressured Pence to reject valid lists of electoral votes from 7 states. You "feel" nothing there to "call out" as wrong though? I didn't see RULE OF LAW in that long list of things you stand for. Some of us think trying to overturn a valid election makes the US "3rd world." We never thought we see an attempted coup in our lifetime.

Makes sense. The bolded is why you voted for Clinton twice and Obama once. The Republicans just weren't offering those goods when you voted in '92, '96 and 2008. As a "moderate conservative," you haven't changed in 20 years. Dems must have changed or you'd be voting Biden and starting threads about Trump's dementia. RE: Maher agrees with Fake News Narrative - grampahol - 01-31-2024 To be clear conservatives don't own the patent on strong military strength, secure borders, strong economic policies, good police policies and so on. It's the stuff conservatives love to complain about, but use it to toss to the base without actually doing anything about. I've yet to meet a conservative who is willing to pay for any of it unless it's the people who can least afford it as if the people with shitloads of money should have zero responsibility for paying for any of it. I'm a poor schmuck and can't afford million dollar missiles every time some yahoo sends a $100 drone up in the air, but I suspect that the Bezo's and Musk's of the world can. Poor schmucks like me ain't getting multi billion dollar tax breaks. Conservatives are railing on about war with Iran and not one has even hinted about a way to pay for it. News flash! War is f**king expensive..

People can see what is reported on both sides. CNN and MSNBC refused to cover Trump campaign speeches. How far left and 3rd world country can you get that Biden media attempting to control the narrative by not allowing their own viewers to watch the Trump speeches and let them decide for themselves. They literally are saying their viewers are not smart enough to decipher a speech so they refuse to show it. That's their definition of saving "Democracy". lol.

I guess if you can't beat your opponent fair and square............................. The Nick Sandman story was wrong...not a lie. Once the story came out in more detail no one continued to maintain the first story was 100% true. It was corrected. Everyone knows it. I mean you could have gone back to NBC getting sued for faking car explosion for a story. Or just back to FOX lying about the 2020 election results. Those two were actual false reporting. Both were punished for it. That you said "Russia! Russia Russia" lets me know there's zero sense in explaining that one to you.

It's funny how "Russia Russia Russia" has become the wished-for counterweight to the Fox/Newsmax endorsement of Trump's BIG LIE, the legitimating false equivalence, which also keeps the "fake news" narrative going. Like--"Ok Fox was wrong to platform kooky liars, but MSNBC got the Russia investigation just as wrong"--though of course that was NOT the case. As far as Mueller's final conclusion, remember that Barr stepped in between that conclusion and the Fox/Newsmax/OANN audience. MAGAs did not not waste time assessing the actual report or Mueller's referral of prosecution to Congress. For them Trump was "exonerated" and the investigation was "a lie based on lies." |
