(1,151 posts)You cannot make this shit up. Ten insane rethugs. Obviously whollynowned by the out of control billionaires who thumb their noses at the American electorate,indeed the world. They continue to steamroll the planet having destroyed so much, killing it, killing people, poisoning children , openly. With no shame. Pumping propaganda 24/7 , lying , not subtling any longer. Lying with huge outrageous lies. Lies that are mind numbing. Capturing a large segment of the population keeping them living in fear, actually believing the lies. You could not have written this script just 20 years ago. The Fox news nation has become a very dangerous animal. Where billionaire openly fund domestic terrorism. Where police openly kill people ,sieze property and generally terrorize whole Cities. Where even the Democrat candidate is openly owned by the billionaires.
It's all very frightening.
Edit. And I have to say that the media plays along. The entire media, act like they can't see it. They ask no questions. They only make accusations. They only talk is an alternative tense where billionaire terrorist don't even exist. They don't talk about ALEC. They don't mention that ALEC writes the laws the way they want them. They don't mention that the Detroit water district offered a cheaper safer alternative to Flint but were denied in an effort to bankrupt the DWD so the billionaires could buy it. That's a RICO violation. It's only one example. ALEC is a criminal org. Like the media. Fascist, and terrorist.
The media has a narrative. But we have the internet. We are not children. I saw this coming 4 years ago, I talked about it here. The billionaires are very dangerous. We are at war with them now. Our government does not know what side they are .it is divided. The bad guys have the upper hand. But we have a few warriors, and they will not be silent. The level is rising. When Bernie comes into the convention with a clear lead and his voice is stiffled what will we do ?
We know the rethugs will use a hammer , they will not allow dissent. Will the Dems be even worse ? Will the billionaires win ?
