Deception, misinformation, and outright lies continue from the Biden administration, the unelected bureaucrats, and their powerful media buddies. It’s why independent thinkers, those who are not completely duped by the “mainstream media,” have so little trust in the Biden administration, the media, the various government agencies, and the DNC. Republican-led congressional committees are discovering a lot, but the media won’t cover them, instead they criticize, mock, and disparage them. And the state lies and deceptions continue.
All of that applies to all governments everywhere all the time. To think it's one-sided is, at best, naïve. Yes the Biden administration is incompetent, and the previous administration was incompetent and on and on. Right now we have to deal with the Biden administration, in 2024 it could be a different incompetent leader. I don't see anyone on the horizon that I would vote for.
BS. While the Republicans are far, far, far from perfect, this fiasco is and was completely one sided. We're it not for a very thinly held Republican House this would have never seen the light of day. But by all means continue to spread your doom and gloom apocryphal message. J7st know that there are many who neither bur nor believe it. Much as they did not buy what Fauci and his ilk (Weingarten, Collins, Walenski, Cuomo, Newsome) were selling.
Could you explain or at least point out the apocryphal message. I fail to see it. What does "there are many who neither "bur" mean? One thing about belief, is that it requires neither proof nor evidence. I only know what I know via experience, and I don't believe anything.
I could but to do so would be pointless so I'll let you figure it out via your "experience". BTW that is merely anecdotal and the experience of a single individual does not amount to proof for the larger society.
I never claimed that my experience was applicable to the larger society. My only claim is that I only know what I've experienced. refusing to answer a question is an ineffective way to control the conversation. On another note, I've noticed that many people, when responding to comments that they disagree with, rarely offer a logical argument and get angry. Why is that?
I have noticed your commentary. It strikes me as illogical and I have no interest in educating you. Keep reading, keep analyzing, it will come to you in time.
I very much like Ramaswamy's point of view but I do not think he is experienced enough, yet, to take on DC. I like Pompeo. Read his book, Never Give an Inch. He is Trump policy without the Trump personality. My dream ticket is Pompeo/Ramaswamy. I really think RFK, Jr. would not survive if nominated.
I like them both, but neither have any chance of a nomination. Vivek might have a chance if somehow Trump died tomorrow, but barring that, MAGA is simply too strong a force to stop in the Republican party. Trump then has NO chance to win the general election; even if he won more votes, there would be enough pushback and legal issues that he wouldn't take office (and really, whether he wins or not, 2024 is going to be a contested election which will lead to more crackdowns and censorship).
On the Democrat side, RFK Jr is being crucified by the MSM, and MSM viewers are a big portion of the Democrat base, especially among boomers. If Biden passes away or is otherwise deemed too incompetent (or the corruption charges stick), the Democrats will shoe in Newsom. And Newsom will win by having a nice face.
I really can't see much potential for the sitting president in 2025 to be anyone but Biden or Newsom. And by 2028, AI-driven censorship plus the demographic shift of GenZ is going to mean we're going to be in loony land.
If you haven't listened to RFK Jr or read the Real Anthony Fauci, I recommend it. He explains the facts accurately with more courage and knowledge than anyone I've come across. You want the truth to come out? Vote for him.
Ah, yes, the ‘everyone does it’ defense. Our system of government was constructed to be quite different than ‘all other governments everywhere’. It was established for the benefit of and to be responsive to the people, not to the self-serving ends of endless government bureaucrats.
I wasn't defending anyone. Simply stating that corruption is endemic in all governments. If you want to see where the US and 175 other govts. are compared, look at the World Corruption List. In the last 6 yrs. the US has fallen from number 12 to number 24. The higher the number, the more corrupt the govt. is. As far as comparisons, the US isn't as corrupt as everyone below them on the list. But the point is to compare the US with less corrupt, not more corrupt govts. So, to reiterate, I didn't say that all governments are equally corrupt.
Quite right. "Power tends to corrupt" and because the nature of government is to exercise power, all governments are corrupt. We will never have honest politicians or government that serves the people. The best we can do is to limit their power over us, with a "limited government with defined powers." I put that in quotes because someone wrote it down somewhere.
No. To think that all governments everywhere are equally bad is the naive position. The level of outright lies by this administration, the level of censorship they have been pushing, and the weaponization of the FBI, IRS, the Justice Department, and lap-dog media, are hugely different from previous administrations and very, very disturbing.
Evangelicals in government have been into censorship with anything around human sexuality since Comstock in the 1930s. They added music to their portfolio in the late 1950s and nudity in magazines soon after. Anti-communist government officials has been into censorship and dis-information around the security state and defense department since WW2..............even Eisenhower pointed it out in 1960 for his final speech. McCarthy of course is a prime example in the 1950s and Operation Mockingbird was started in 1960 by the CIA to purchased key reporters to replace reporting with government propaganda in the AP, NY Times, CBS, Washington Post, etc. Church committee investigated and outed it in 1975. 1976 George Bush admitted it and said he would stop his agency from continuing Operation Mockingbird. Liberals had fought against these conservative movements for the better part of 50 years before they suddenly shifted and decided censorship and dis-information was a strategy to use.
Now the American public has lost anyone willing to fight against censorship.......

And they are attacking any outlets that contradict them with increasing severity.

Cop out.
No. I was sincere. And way to savvy to take your little bait. Better luck next time.
Rfk jr?. Vivek Ramaswamy?
Neither a politician, have accomplished big things in the real world, both for no censorship, take questions about all issues with no pre screening,
One is dem, one a rep, either seems better than the choice barreling towards the country.
I very much like Ramaswamy's point of view but I do not think he is experienced enough, yet, to take on DC. I like Pompeo. Read his book, Never Give an Inch.

Incompetence is one thing.
Treason is another thing entirely.

Personally I think the FBI is the weaponizer, not the weaponized.
Evangelicals in government have been into censorship with anything around human sexuality since Comstock in the 1930s.
