Thom’s one page essay expresses it very well. 3000 people died on 911, and we have songs, monuments, and the never forget slogan. 500,000 people dead and.. nothing. Considering the stark difference in death in other countries, it’s obvious unmasking has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. Still nothing, even though the leader of the unmasking movement is known.
:-(
"Stupidity."
Yes, "It's amazing how we are fooled so easily." And you are "Reading" ...what exactly?
derp
It is idiotic to tell others what to do and call them idiots and stupid and conspiracy theorists.
No one knows where this virus came from.
The first thing that is controlled in a country going fascist or communist is the media it's the few telling the many what's going on.
Because you're propagandized every single day in this country you will be told to wear a mask and to give away your civil liberties. Because you believe what the media tells you and the authorities you will believe what you're told.
You won't investigate and you will fall prey to a government gone mad with taking away our freedoms.
Because I know a little bit more from Reading I know that this is a pandemic. There are Cameron trails they are fooling us they are diseasing us. just because you can't comprehend it and you have cognitive dissonance does not make it so.
if the government itself has created this virus like they planned 9/11 for us then you can be leave that it is to destroy us. Make people afraid and they will bash their neighbor just like they did in Germany because of their own selfishness.
When we think we have a pat answer that the government gives us we have no clue. You might start reading.
Our government plan 9/11. they are not passed creating a virus and keeping that virus going to fear people into bending over for them and taking away freedom after freedom after freedom. Wake up the whole country is asleep and letting this virus own them. Because for centuries this group of elitists have been moving us toward world order everyone thinks that they can believe everything they're told.
Look up operation paper clip. Look up anything that says this is an absolutely bizarre what's happening in this country and the world. Wake up you're being made slaves and those who don't get the vaccine will be forced to have no food and those who get it because this is going to continue with the variance are going to be having to get a card to get food to have a place to stay or anything this is where they're moving us. It's amazing how we are fooled so easily. Why wouldn't these demons with their technology keep a virus going and in the air and even kill people on purpose when they're in the hospital with this with anything. Maybe autopsy should be done. There are nurses who have been told to lie about their statistics. Really. We are marching to death by our government and the elitists that control them. You can't even talk to another person about anything how convenient for the powers that be to manipulate it to our deaths and us just jump on board for it. Stupidity.
anti-mask protesters "very close to child abuse"
A video I saw yesterday said it all. A big crowd in Boise, Idaho, were burning their masks in a garbage can, encouraging kids to help. A sign in the background disparaged the "Wu Flu." People were all excited about execising their rights not to be told what to do.
Guess what: Idaho never had a statewide mask mandate. Some cities and counties did, and now the state legislature is considering a bill to take away their power to do so. According to US News, State Representative Karey Hanks said she had done research “on the physical and emotional and even mental injuries to our bodies, and possibly even our souls, as healthy individuals are required to wear these masks.”
Enough said.
The same people (Trump's cult of traitors and dead-enders) howling the loudest about the economy and schools being shut down "by Democrats" are (go figure) the same people largely responsible for the spread of an out-of-control pandemic that caused the economy and schools to be shut down in the first place by refusing to wear masks and social distance. And you can bet, many of these same blithering idiots will also refuse the vaccines.
May their innocent victims -- family, friends, coworkers, and random strangers -- rest in eternal peace. As for themselves? Not so much.
Freedumb! Trump! Cognitive dissonance!

Again, bothsidesism.
...in the same way that violent insurrectionists attacking the foundation of democracy and peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters marching for fundamental human rights are both "off the rails."
How does one compromise with racism, that there are "very fine people on both sides"? How does one compromise with a liar, that half of 30,000 lies are true? How does one compromise with a sexual predator, that sometimes it's okay to "grab 'em by the pussy"?
When everything is right, nothing is wrong; when everything is wrong, nothing is right -- a very dark future indeed.
“For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?” - George Orwell
"Both sides are off the rails" in the same way that flat earthers and sphere earthers are "off the rails."
Sue, I think we are in agreement more than you think. Both sides are off the rails and until there is some middle ground compromise the future is in limbo.
We shall continue down the path of dystopia as long as Amerikkka's dumbest voters fail to recognize how destructive it is to keep giving the party of liars, racists, and traitors any power whatsoever at any level of government from city council to POTUS -- and the rest of us fail to stop them!
Hate is the wrong word, which the haters on the bigoted right constantly project as the primary motive of Democrats. Visceral disgust and righteous anger are what more likely drove most of the 81 million small-d democrats to defy a deadly pandemic and come out in force to fire Trump and his boot-licking toadies.
So let's just cut to the chase in plain street language that anyone can understand, even ditto heads: The goddamn fools who keep voting Republican against their own best interests -- and everyone else's -- are stubborn, gullible, horribly ignorant suckers who don't deserve spit. Most are beyond redemption and can only be out-voted, neither reasoned with nor persuaded.
They have allowed themselves to become hopelessly brainwashed over the decades by internalizing the web of deceit spun by ridiculously overpaid lying bastards, such as drug addict, suspected child molester, and raving sexist Rush Limpballs, and Fucker Charlatan, one of the most despicable purveyors of disinformation on cable TV, or for that matter, on any media platform anywhere, now that Limbaugh did the world a huge favor and mercifully croaked on his own bile. (May he rot in hell for all eternity, or at least be reborn as a poverty-stricken black woman in rural Alagoddamnbama surrounded by a leering lynch mob with dicks and tongues hanging out.)
Depressingly, these two master liars are just the tip of the brilliant-white, Republican Party iceberg, which has done more damage to the "United" States than our worst enemies could ever imagine possible in their most vivid wet dreams. Just ask Putin.
True evil is when public figures knowingly lie to their followers. True stupidity is when the followers believe the lies despite all evidence to the contrary.
Then, proving to the world just how far down the rabbit hole they've fallen, these arrogant pissants with their cheesy Cheshire Cat smiles come onto forums like Thom's Blog to share their esoteric knowledge, which, huh, imagine that, no one else seems privy to but the select few in on the great white-man joke. Yeah, thanks for sharing. But don't hope to waste the time and energy of the sane among us any further by expecting others to chase down and clean up every turd that drops out of some bastard's butt.
Free speech is a two-way street -- abusers of that sacred right should not get to frame the argument unless we allow them to for comic effect. Ignoring and/or ridiculing utter nonsense is often the wisest course rather than following shameless liars down their labyrinth of rabbit holes. Village idiots should not be able to lie with impunity and should always be marginalized and never taken seriously, as any such veneer of undeserved respectability only encourages them to lie with even more gusto.
To drive that salient point home, look no further than twice-impeached Donald John Trump. America's homegrown motley fool lied over 30,000 times directly to our faces and nearly destroyed our hard-won form of government (however flawed) while sacrificing the lives of half a million citizens for his own petty ego. Elections definitely have serious consequences.
Time is too short to spend it on abject foolishness: Democracy is collapsing all around us; "wars and rumors of wars" are devastating whole societies; greedy humans are squandering Earth's precious, extremely limited resources; entire ecosystems are disappearing at an alarming rate right before our eyes; irreversible climate destruction is accelerating to the point where the very existence of life for the majority of species on this godforsaken speck of stardust is called into serious question by some of our most informed scientists.
Oh, but please, please check out the latest pointless (unless one considers white privilege the point) ramblings of Tucker Carlson -- a small-minded, priggish little man with a shrunken soul who hides behind the "banality of evil" (a false thesis), a truly hideous human being whom dumb people think a smart person should sound like. Fuch him! Get thee behind me, Satan!
Thanks for the link, Cuz.
I agree with him that the award of medals is very arbitrary. That is a very common problem. And just look at who Trump gave top medals to, and pardons. And just to show that I'm not partisan, I don't think Obama merited the Nobel prize either.
If they didn't know about March 4, then they really were living in a bubble. The Republicans have QAnon supporters in Congress, for goodness sake. Surely they would be hearing the conspiracy theories. And since it involved many of the same people who stormed the Capitol on January 6, it had to be taken seriously. The authorities may not have believed the theory, but Trump followers seem to be able to believe anything except the truth. I wonder what Tucker would have said if the authorized ignored the warnings, as many did for January 6, and a mob did indeed arrive. Monday morning quarterbacking is cheap, a lot easier than real reporting.
The MSNBC woman said media coverage might have put QAnon off - was there no right wing coverage?
Did he have to go back to the 60s to find a left wing end of the world theorist? There have been loads over the years. Were they all right wing? And climate doom saying is for the most part about things are going to get worse if we don't something, not about the end of everything. Climate change is real and the right has been in denial for far too long. Just ask insurers who have to pay out for climate-related disasters.
The razor wire around the capitol is due to Trump's actions. Hopefully in time his following will fizzle out and it won't be needed any more.
Given the prevalence of arms in the US, protests that would pass off relatively peacefully in many other countries are far more likely to be armed in the US and lead to loss of life, whether intentional "hang Mike Pence" "kill Nancy Pelosi" or not. So it is not surprising that the likes of the FBI take warnings seriously. Just look at what happened in the Michigan capitol, and the threats to Governor Whitmer.
He called the protesters gentle people, loving their country and waving their flags. They were not gentle in the Capitol or the Michigan capitol, and the flags they were waving were not those of the United States of America. There were Confederate and Trump flags aplenty, for example. That single guy wasn't waving the American flag=. And if he had been black he might well have been shot.
He said there had been violent riots for months. He neglects to mention that they happened on Trump's watch, and that at least some of the violence was caused by white infiltrators and the cops themselves. Trump ordered the cops in and essentially gave them a green light. And that they were a lot less violent than the white supremacist Capitol riot - and just look at the skin color of the rioters. And that the vast majority of politically motivated deaths have been at the hands of white supremacists.

In fact only one killing was by someone calling himself an anti-fascist, and he was extra judicially assassinated by the police, so he never got a trial and we won't know the whole truth.
Tucker Carlson's performance was not worthy of a news reporter, and Fox should not call itself news. Thom calls his show opinion, and it is far more factual than that sample.
The left do not have full control of the Congress. The Senate is 50-50 and while the filibuster exists they need to be 60-40 to have full control. And with a couple of Democrats being very conservative, they can't even be sure of 50 votes.
It is the norm these days for the media to do whatever it can to grab eyeballs. It is regrettable, but hardly confined to the left-leaning channels. Just go over to mediamatters.org for some right wing samples. Here's one: https://www.mediamatters.org/january-6-insurrection/tucker-carlson-false...
In fact, there are left wing outlets that are not in it to make as much money as they possibly can and who try to do a decent job of presenting news of importance to ordinary people.
Yesterday, I found the March 5th episode that was being crowed about.
Carlson began with an ever-cascading litany of his definitions of what
liberalism is all about. OK, so he is entitled to his opinions, but the
way he broadcasts those opinions makes the Isley Brothers and
The Beatles versions of "Twist and Shout" appear timid in comparison.
A breakdown of just the first 5 minutes would take so much space and
reader time here that it would be such a waste - primarily because it
achieves nothing to point out that the majority of the opinions (as FOX
"news" has multiple times pointed out when they find themselves in a
legal bind) are presented as facts. They have a very willing audience
that chooses to glom onto those opinions because they either reinforce
their already preconceived notions or add padding to those very same beliefs.
Just in the paragraph above, we have someone stating that the Democrats
have "100% control of the Congress and White House." No, they don't.
It would be humorous if it weren't so sad to recognize the gaslighting of referring
to "whining, complaining, and...conspiracy theor(ies)." Watching something
"with an open mind" doesn't mean looking for something to fit your pre-conceived
notions and emotions.
Yes, Carlson could be considered "Limbaughesque" if what you are looking for
are the numerous personal qualities that make up a repulsive human being.
Yes, footage is being shown, but one would be very hard-pressed to find facts
wiggling out from under the tonnage of jaw-droppingly manipulative screed.
I do agree that there is a lot of media "backpedal(ing)" and "headlong" Rush into
"mindless theor(ies)" that will continue to be proven unfounded, but this is precisely why I steer clear of it and find those very few left-wing sources that are hiding amidst the dreck in order to get my information in context rather than some idiot screaming his opinions at me. If I wanted to listen to someone like that, I'd take up a drinking habit and hang out at some dive downtown every night.
I have better ways to spend my time.
This ties in with the idea about "complain(ing)," but not watching:
You don't have to keep watching the wAcKy media spewers after you've figured out their obvious angle in the same way that I don't feel the need to, everyday, meet up with the mentally disturbed guy at a major intersection to get his world opinion. I kinda figured that out after just a few run-ins with him - that yes, they have an opinion and they have every right to it, but I don't have to agree, run my life, or, generally, set my mental clock to them. I prefer to find and read or listen to an actual informed discourse and use clearcut analysis in order to come to an opinion - one, by the way, that is flexible enough to change once newly analyzed info sees light which is something that I rarely see in people who consider themselves "conservative."
Did you read the article?
Sue, I will ignore the snide comments made by a couple of others here and give you this link from FOX news. I tried to link it through Youtube but for some reason, they have removed it from view so here it is from FOX directly.
https://video.foxnews.com/v/6237565766001#sp=show-clips
I am an individual that will watch both sides of a position and lately my dissatisfaction with the left stems from the fact they have full 100% control of the Congress and White House yet all we get is whining, complaining, and one conspiracy theory after another many of which are blown to bits in the 15 minute Carlson rant. Watch it with an open mind.
I find Carlson to be very Limbaughesque in his presentations yet what he is showing is facts and footage. Take it for what you will but I personally find it very revealing that the media is constantly trying to reverse or backpedal from its positions only to quickly rush headlong into another mindless theory that again will be proven to be unfounded.
As for the posters that poo-poo this, I couldn't care less but I will remember that they always openly complain about the source but admit they do not watch the very people they complain about.. Their opinion is respected and I do not try to interpret or disparage their words. Free speech is just that.
Soooo, what you are saying is by removing the filibuster on judical appointments, the senate has eliminated debate and If the filibuster were eliminated on all matters in the Senate, debate would increase. Pardon me for laughing, but where is the logic?
The most important vote that the Senate does is a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. We now have 3 Justices that were elected with a 51% vote threshold thanks to Mitch. So if that is not important enough for Filibuster what is? If you read Thoms post you would realize that the current filibuster rule discourages debate. Because they do not have to debate.
Interesting attempt by the Democrats to take away debate. When the Republicans were in the majority, you didn't hear talk of doing away with the filibuster, even though they didn't have the 60 votes necessary to stop a filibuster. The Republicans did not want to oppress the opinions of the minority.
Harry Reid eliminated the filibuster on Nominees 2013. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/senate-poised-to-limit-filibusters-in-party-line-vote-that-would-alter-centuries-of-precedent/2013/11/21/d065cfe8-52b6-11e3-9fe0-fd2ca728e67c_story.html
Republicans simply extended Reid's decision to include Supreme Court Nominees.
The Senate is not the House of Representatives. The Senate is designed to encourage debate. It needs to remain that way.
Money is the key issue. Senators do not vote their conscience. They vote based on the money that the Party doles out to them. Mitch is very careful on who gets what. You vote his way or also face a primary run. Then to top it off the Senate is conrolled by small states. It takes 22 of the lower population states to add up to Californias 39 million population. They get 44 Senators CA gets 2.
The Republicans are great at naming bills. Democrats not so much. $15 minimum wage scares away too many people. Reality is it is not $15 until 2026. Starts out at $10 and increases $1 each year. Name it the $10 Minimum Wage Bill.
