Go get ‘em, Joe…

Well…I like the new Joe Biden…just today he attacked the repubs attempts to crash the economy so they can force cuts to SS and Medicare by releasing a fact sheet that shows that repub plans would increase the debt by 3 trillion dollars while Joe’s plans would cut it by almost two trillion…and that shows that the repubs using the debt for anything is just so much bullshit and lies…and Joe was blunt in a speech yesterday when he pointed out that the first bill the repubs passed would add 114 billion to the debt to protect tax cheats…and the 159 billion they would add to the debt by repealing reforms to medicare drug pricing…and they want to repeal corporate tax increases would add 269 billion to the debt….you get the picture…the repubs are willing to crash the world’s economy for the lie that they care about the debt when the only thing they care about is getting rid of Medicare and SS as they have since the start of them…but they won’t…for that they will need complete control of the country and that is not going to happen soon…I love the fact that Joe is getting aggressive in pointing out the truth…he needs to keep it up…geez…

They’re lying again….

Well…with the new talking point…okay, it’s not new but the repubs trot out the “soft on crime” bullshit during every election to attack every dem candidate from the top down and the sad thing is people are buying it and some races are tightening because of it…but here are the facts…the top ten states for violent crime are all repub controlled states…every damn on of them and the rate of these crimes are rising faster in these same states…in 2020, the per capita murder rate in states that the idiot trump won was 40% higher than in blue states, and yet they lie and lie that blue cities and states are hellholes of violent crime and the right thinks that if you ever walk down a street in any blue big city, you have a 100% chance of being robbed or killed…and that is what they are using in their ads and the racists who are the repubs are just eating this crap up because they just love to hate….for these kind of lies that have been recycled since the 80′s, you would think the dems would have come up with some effective counters to them, but if they have, I haven’t seen them yet…and they need to get off their asses and debunk this bullshit…and now…geez…

Here’s a new rule…

Well…it seems to me that we need a new rule when talking to or interviewing repubs by the news organizations since it is clear that all they do is lie, and lie, and lie….so, from now on, once they are caught in one, the new rule should be that no one ever interviews or listens to them again…not to keep “access”, not for a sound bite, not for anything….because if we keep rewarding people for lying, that is what you get…it’s one of the things I leaned getting my degree in psychology…that whatever behavior you reward is what you will get more of…it’s the same thing with kids, if you reward them by giving them what they want when they throw a tantrum, they have learned that tantrums work and they will use them more and more….and when the repubs learn that there are no consequences for lying constantly, they will lie even more. Even when caught in one like Kevin McCarthy was last night on Rachel’s show where he lied his ass off about what he told idiot boy after the attack on the capitol on January 6th….and in a more ethical time, ole Kevvy would have resigned this morning…but in the modern repub party, it is a badge of honor and necessary to lie your ass off to get the support of the troglodytes that make up the repub base….but I still think you can stop this crap by withholding what all of these liars crave and that is attention….geez….

Pushback…finally….

Well…I have been really quite irritated with those of us on the left that have let the right set the terms of discussion over the past decade or so but that appears to be changing…and not a damn day too soon. I know that Bernie has been a lone voice in the woods for years now, railing against the lies and rigging of the country by the repubs, and his voice is now being joined by others that are changing the narrative by calling the right out on it’s lies. Starting with Elizabeth Warren and her truth telling on Wall Street and it’s manipulation of the economy which has been going on for a year now…we now have President Obama pushing back on the NRA’s program of lies that he and Hillary are going to take away everyone’s guns…reacting to a gun store owner repeating those talking points at a town hall just last week. The pushback really took on a new life with Hillary’s dismantling of Trump last week in a great speech on foreign policy….and it appears that we on the left are finding our voice again…that we are no longer scared of the lies of the right and are countering them with the truth…and shouting that truth everywhere possible….it’s about damn time….

Chuck Todd is an idiot….

Well…have to cheat some since I have been a little slow on the uptake lately…so,…no, I don’t think I’ll cheat…just want to comment on the idiot Chuck Todd’s statement the other day that went something like this: “it’s not my job to point out Republican lies…” I’m sorry, Chuckster, but it is EXACTLY the job of the media to point out republican lies and talking points. This is what is wrong with the media these days…they act like truth and facts don’t matter any more…and they give this false equivalence to what is true and the lies that come out of the repubs every day….what the hell is wrong with the media? When did they stop doing their jobs as they did during Watergate? If the media acted then like they do now, Nixon never would have had to resign since they would have bought his lies and actively supported him. Chuck Todd should lose his job over this since he has shown that he is not a journalist…just a stenographer for the repubs…geez….
