(7,876 posts)The fools on TV, ALL of them, keep repeating his words as though they were reporting fact instead of delivering propaganda.
They do not think, nor add context, nor even fact-check. They simply cheer-lead our feelings about it all. The MSM and PBS alike.
I find it particularly painful to listen to them repeat his and the GOP lies as if there were nothing else to say. They are paid thousands of dollars to say it convincingly, sincerely, yet they cannot speak a simple truth about it such as the fact that he has not the authority he claims to issue some of the commands and directives. Those powers are within Congress or the Law and anyone with a public school civics class behind them could confirm it. He sets them up and they provide punchlines, over, and over, and over.
I spend time volunteering and helping people in the most simple and direct ways I can to feel as though at least something is being done.
I am tired to death of the rat fucking of the progressives by the DNC and the other apologists, too.
