This must be some kind of concerted effort. Locally, the League of Women Voters- once a rather impartial group, is having a meeting about 'misinformation' hosted by some local college librarians and a local journalist of the legacy media. I'm sure it is as impartial and non partisan as claimed, LOL.

I became 'politically cognizant' - the age when the front page is as interesting or even more than the sports page--so early nineties for me, early 20s.

I remember the disappointment then disdain I had for Bill Clinton when he did the 'meaning of is is', HillaryCare, 'vast right wing conspiracy', wag the dog bombings---it was coming of age and learning the was zero honor in the highest places of our government.

I don't know why I fooled myself into thinking GWB was any better, but I then became swept up in the post 9/11 'you want reparations? We'll give you reparations!' mindset of many in the military at the time. I was all in. It blinded me to the lies and manipulations that admin did, and the crimes we committed as a nation.

So now we're at about 30 years of constant disappointment and now completely bereft of any trust with any level of government and yet I am still surprised at how enflamed listening to those two people can make me in 90 seconds.

He is seriously, seriously, SERIOUSLY pulling the Putin card?!?!?! WHO BELIEVES THIS MADNESS?!?!?

Oh, probably a solid 35-40% of the country.

Scary thing is he may actually believe in what he says. The pandemic shows us many people are completely clueless and they really think Math is Racist!

Is Biden aware of this rebel Raskin who is not speaking out fourteen sides of his mouth as the daily memo dictates?

Fighting Russia would be WWIII. Quashing the shitheads in Iran would not be.

One might think such a "man" who's only son killed himself might have some humility. But somehow he is utterly shameless.

Raskin is one of those people in the core of the establishment. His bio: https://bioguide.congress.gov/search/bio/R000606

Born in D.C., went to Georgetown Day High School, two Harvard degrees, law professor at American University in D.C. for nearly 30 years, and Maryland legislature politician for 10 years before going to the House.

You know, this has been some strange weekend. As someone on the news pointed out yesterday, after Iran telegraphed their imminent attack so hard the invisible wires melted, they then courteously waited until Shabbat was concluded in Israel before launching their ferocious attack that ended up wounding only one, very unfortunate little Bedouin girl with shrapnel.

Almost as if the Iranians performed the obligatory face-saving "we're gonna git you, sort of" after the takeout of their guys in Damascus and now the Iranian screamers in the street have been satisfied and no actual war shall have to be broken out.

It's almost as if, with the recent reveal of what Iran paid Hamas to do their atrocitying, Iran has pulled a frilled lizard thingy and ensured Israel will now get the diplomatic and military aid they need to keep going in Gaza.

This is some 18-dimensional chess but knowing the Middle East and how remarkably alike the Persians and Jews are, I think it's the defusing of, like, the apocalypse or whatever.

I am so sick of hearing about how important it is to protect Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, etc. I don't see troops from any of those countries assisting Amerika's borders, nor have these great allies (to my knowledge) fought side by side with Amerikan troops when it's government decides to "bring democracy and freedom" to whatever nation has a wayward dart in it on a world map. These politicians can come talk to me when groceries become affordable again, when monsters who support coerced medical "treatments" are on trial, and when their corrupt constituents are prosecuted (my list is much longer than that). No more treasure or blood spent for ANY other nation until Amerika's own house is in order. Sorry if that wasn't quite about misinformation. 😀

Yes, misinformation is a large problem. Many countries live in a society of censorship. Governments are very selective in telling the public important information. The spin of propaganda looms large. No wonder the average person is forced to pick a side. Between the squabbling, look at what what is really being hidden. The question should be what is the distraction for?
