    What does Fox actually gain from spewing such lies every moment of every day? Does their money come from advertising products that make so much money that they can pay Fox billions of dollars? It might pay to note which companies advertise on that anti-American shit show and NOT BUY the products. Don't know how much that would help, but IMO the Fox channel should absolutely be shut down and the Murdochs should be invited to leave this country forthwith. If Fox turned into a REAL news station---even a far right news station--as long as they'd stop the god damn lying --fair enough.

    They are not dumb--they've realized who the truly dumb ones are in this country and are making their money off the clueless, stupid, easily led sheep that actually worship the likes of a no good, crooked , lying , slimy motherfucker like trump.
    How you figure people get like that? Does he give them what they need? What is that? Do they think that he actually cares about anyone but himself? How do people allow themselves to get so weak and corrupted by such an obvious mental midget? No one I know or have ever known would become a trump cultist.
    The answer is a resounding NO!! I would not waste any time on anyone that is right-wing and doesn't care about what little democracy we have left.:mad:

    lol @ "left-wing" on TV news..
    The "news" tells you what is important. FOX, CNN, MSNBC = all shit. One preempted the market for Republicans, so obviously there's only on party left to pander to.

    Let's have some perspective. Not necessarily truth, just perspective.

    MSNBC should be in the hyper partisan left, which is just the way I like it. :cool:

    Read with apprehension the story about the new Speaker and his “pine tree” flag. We need to stop the appropriation of patriotic symbols by right wing extremists. They are most certainly not patriotic in any sense of the word. Anti democratic, violence prone, self serving, fascist, power hungry sure, but not patriotic.

    And, just to add a little information, the pine tree on modern renditions of the flag does not even vaguely resemble any pine tree native to the east coast at any stage of it’s life. A spruce maybe…a balsam fir, possibly but certainly not a “pine”. Course a fake tree for a fake movement of fake patriots might just be appropriate.

    MAGA Right Wingers are mentally ill people, they believe in things that are not true or reality, the don't understand Cause and effect and they don't have the numbers to win elections or mount a massive Military Assault.... may be terrorism .

    They live in a World of Trump and Make Believe...... a bunch of Bullwinkles with no Rocky .
    I know many that have alienated friends, family and others to the point that no one wants to deal with them on a personal level .... very incellic .

    Let's be honest, the Guardians of Plutocracy is out to make Government to fail , it's been their agenda since the Nixon and Reagan years .

    The best way to weene the Fascist Red State, is to stop all Federal aid ; stop all farm subsities, food stamps, Medicare/ Medicaid, road/ infrastructure and all vital support.
    They only donate chump change to the US.
    People in those regions, would probably abandon those states, much like Illegal Aliens come thru our Souther Border with Mexico.
    Last time that I went thru Mobile, Alabama .... it resembled the slums of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil .

    Since Ronald Reagan, the Guardians of Plutocracy have imposed Austerity on 99 % of Americans just to give the Corporate Oligarchy / Invester / Shareholder Class , a parasitic tax free life style.
    Those Southern and other Red States, are people living in a Mass Psychosis.
    Their Republican Overlords are standing on a latter , whizzing on them.
    Those people don't have the self respect or dignity to look up at the ones standing on the latter .... just tell them it's raining and they have been conditioned to believe you, when you tell them it's raining.
    Pure Stockholm Syndrome and a Mass Psychosis.

    Those people have had their dignity taken from them, by the leaders they elect.

    California gave Governor Newsome power to stop California from giving monies to subsidize Red States ; Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Texas and Oklahoma.
    Illinois has given the same power to their Governor.
    Washington State, New York, Oregon ( maybe), Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Jersey are also following suit with California.
    We are "Trump Proofing" California, when Trump destroys America's economy, California will be 98% unscathed.

    Those aforementioned states would end MAGA Fascist leanings.
    Abbott is bankrupting Texas with his " Border War" , now Texas's property taxes are now more expensive than California.
    Florida is in a World of shit due to DeSantis and his dildos.

    I'm in Oregon, it sounds like a great idea. The entire west coast being self-sufficient. Although we could have trouble getting gasoline.

    Are you kidding Mexico has more oil than Saudi Arabia .
    If all those States unify, Trump's MAGA Agenda will be stopped cold.
    We , on the Westcoast don't need the United States as much as they need us.
    Back in early 2019, Trump told the Auto Industry that they don't have to follow Car Emissions criteria ....California told the Auto Industry, that they couldn't sell their cars in California, if they went along with Trump ..... Trump was stopped cold !!!!
    Not sure, but I believe Oregon and Washington State joined in too.

    In 2025, California is going into the Pharmaceutical business, to manufacture prescription drugs and insulin, to compete with Lilly and others.
    It will stimulate the economy in California, by creating jobs and lowering drug prices in California and other states.

    Its interesting that the media bias chart above is missing Huffington Post. But it is interesting. I think Joe Rogan has demonstrated a shift to the Right of late...
