I've been here since 2002. There always have been doom and gloomers in the crowd.

They will find things to complain about.

What drives me crazy is that Democrats spend time and energy developing innovative proposals and plans to address real problems but we’re told that because we have a “messaging problem” we don’t get coverage and people don’t know what we’re doing to try to make them better- or Republicans just smear them to death.

However, Republicans- whom have no solutions to virtually any real problems are routinely given a pass and it’s always “good news for John McCain.” They lie and mislead and whip up moral panics that people pay too much attention to and that drives their voters and a sufficient segment of “independents” to turn out for them in elections. Wash.Rinse.Repeat.

Just so you know: "The Black News Channel" is a conservative front. Its run by a white guy named Bob Brillante and former Republican House rep JC Watt, a Black conservative.

They ran the same chyron about VP Harris as CNN did.

And who was their guest, repeating the CNN headline? None other than Democrat hating Nina Turner. There she sat, shilling for her RW Mercury Lobbyist & Media funders.

This Nina Turner.
Biden's a bowl of shit
VP Harris is a seat filler
Rep Clyburn is 'stupid'.


I ain't linking to it either.
Her vengence for the D Party & its leaders is despicable.

"The Black News Channel" is a conservative front. Its run by a white guy named Bob Brillante and former Republican House rep JC Watt, a Black conservative."

Remember this when supporting those who support her.

And Turner pushing their RW lies about Biden, our VP, needs to be called out everytime.

AP seems eager for any fight around the world. They are all lost without a war. Fugum.
