Neoliberal dems love(d) bombing brown people in the desert, even crime bill biden and the prosecutor wouldn't be too upset about destabilizing another country.
So true. I’ve come to believe the Dems have joined the Reps as seeing the Military Industrial Complex as a revenue producing machine. That’s why there are those (probably being called kooks as of today) who believe the US will eventually put boots on the ground in the Ukraine war as the economy struggles & sovereign debt begins to show more cracks in the foundation.

I posted that clip from the Maher show about a week ago, it's a good one. 10 years ago I wouldn't have thought Russell Brand would be a level headed celeb that calls out both sides for their hypocrisy, but here we are. I feel like Maher himself has pivoted quite a bit in recent years too. I always found him a bit outlandish in the 90s/early 2000s, but either progressives have pushed far enough left that he now identifies closer to a moderate, or he's seen some of the crazy extremists and moved closer to center.

Sorry I missed it. I don’t get on often enough to scour every post but I try to keep up.

You’re right about Brand. Instead of listening to what he actually said, the haters will mis-label him “alt-Right” or “traitor to the Left”. It’s like no one is allowed to criticize both sides for their obvious malfeasance.

Na, you're good. I only posted the clip from the Maher interview. Yours had more from Brand on his own show there. Really I was just saying I enjoyed that interview too.

Maher is still in line with the left of 10-15 years ago. The party has moved wildly left since then by the extreme socialist/woke/lgbTq//free shit lobby.

Hyper-partisan politicians are problematic. The media almost exclusively focusing on these politicians is worse. Stop giving these idiots face-time.


They want us divided, that's how they get their money. If everyone was on the same team and working together for the best result they wouldn't be stumping to get our dollars to win the next election "The most important election of our lives." Every. Time. No room for boring moderates.

Bots were out and about in full force for LSU women's hoops along with the Chicago Mayoral Election.

Eh....the bias check websites AllSides, Media Bias/Fact Check, and Biasly all have NPR as at least a Left lean. 72% of NPR's listeners are liberal. If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, quacks like a duck...
But what exactly makes it left leaning? I’m guessing it’s the audience more than the actual content. I definitely think that their news programs are unbiased.

It seems to me that their non-news stories seem to target and interest lqbtg and other minority groups. I know that I don’t listen as much as I used to because it feels like it’s not for me. I still love Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me and Ted Talks, though.

Isn't the content what's going to determine your audience? As an example, when Rush Limbaugh started out, he had a pretty small audience. It grew because of his content.

MSM is going to push an invasion of Canada? Lol I am not too excited to live in North Michigan. I will gladly accept Steak and Shakes on every corner.

Discussing abuses of power in Canada as an invasion? That doesn't even make sense

lol yes because the images of Saddam Hussein and the Libya invasion don't invoke any feelings of possible intervention. As we know, those conflicts were settled peacefully. If you believe Justin Trudeau is comparable to Hussein or Gaddafi then you need to be in a padded room.

Not surprising at all. Media covers only the crazies on both sides. If a politician wants any media coverage at all, the have to veer to the extreme. I just envision some of these guys going nuclear against each other in front of the cameras and then as soon as the cameras are off they are checking to see if they are available for a round of golf or asking how their families are doing. Wouldn't surprise me if they coordinate some of their battles in advance. Pure theatre.

The game Fallout has been preparing me for this since 1997. War with China is surely around the corner.

The funny thing is that *if* the United States wanted to annex Canada (or Mexico or any countries north of the Amazon that we can get to by land) it would be comically easy and they likely wouldn't even try to defend themselves. They would just roll over and take it. In human history there has never been a nation with as much military power as the United States who has been so nice to its neighbors.

If were going to take over Canada, I want a voice in whether or not Toronto gets to become a citizen of the U.S.!

Dominion settled with Fox which is a damn shame. They were going to going to get absolutely exposed during the trial. $787 million though is a nice pay day.
