This country needs to calm the fuck down. We can't seem to calm down the partisanship, so lets just back off politics for a while. MSNBC and FOX continue to ramp up their viewers to their particular viewpoints and continue to beg the 24/7 attention. Lets stop reacting to every little non-important political incident in the country. Let the politicians do their job, if possible. Let it start with what the politicians can agree on, which is very little, but enough to get started with each other.
We need to kill off this virus, get people vaccinated, and get everyone back to work. Can everyone agree on that? Maybe, after we get used to negotiating with each other we can tackle more partisan issues.
But the evil still lurks. He's working full time to divide the country. He will be speaking at the CPAK convention next Sunday. Accept the fact that this criminal will be in our national politics until he dies. Lets not give him the attention he seeks.
Just because FOX admitted Trump lost the election (at the last possible moment) doesn't mean they aren't working hard to fill America full of their lies. Maybe a real investigation into January 6th and the red necks involved will allow America to believe less of their bullshit.
It amazes me that if you stick a camera in someone's face they are willing to spew the most hate filled garbage, knowing it will be broadcast nationwide. That includes MSNBC who are not happy because the country won't accept Trump as the new Hitler. And FOX is busy condemning Biden for things he hasn't even done yet and probably won't.
Cruz not being in State when an ice storm hit doesn't deserve 4 days of front page news. Biden doing what he is doing should not be news, he has been saying for 2 years now he would do those things.
What will be the next thing we make a big deal of, that the Sun rose this mourning? They really know how to push your buttons and you really know how to jump.
Just calm the fuck down.
Or pay little attention. Media in it's present state is destroying the United States. May Repuglicans continue to splinter and end up with two parties.
ReplyDeleteTo think one side of that party just doesn't fit in with the new cult group is interesting and scary because of the numbers.
Never have I ever thought that hurting others is the way to make change but they do.
Fuck every one of them. If trump had been reelected returning to sanity probably wouldn't have happened.
It's a real good feeling have people who are running the country actually care.
We know who the bad players are, but I'm not letting Democrats off the hook for their part in our mess. I'm talking about what has happened over the decades, not just the last 5 years.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
Let's see. Republicans are the now the Radical Right Party of Trump. Corpo-Dems will appease them in advancing the corporate agenda and impeding progress. Far Right propaganda will grow, not diminish.
ReplyDeleteThere will be no settling down. As the late Great Prophet George Carlin put it, "This country is finished. It's circling the drain. You have no choices. You have owners."
Given that, it's up to each of us to embrace compassion, joy and value in our personal lives. We aint gonna find those in the news or politics.
It's the people taking sides and driving the partisanship and corruption. It can change, but not until a new generation takes over. Either the people change, or the people are replaced with different thinking people. Current peoples attitude can change, but that takes an effort that is not happening.
DeleteAbsolutely correct! I don't have cable -- I cut the cord over a year ago, so I don't have CNN, MSNBC, or FAUX NOOZ. I watch PBS News Hour and local news. I don't want to listen to 24/7 apocalyptic predictions.
ReplyDeleteAs for The Former Guy, I'm enjoying not hearing his lies and grievances. Not having him in the news 24/7 has lowered my blood pressure and given me peace of mind.
Apparently, FAUX NOOZ is so eager to find something, anything wrong with President Biden that they went after his dogs!
We're a sick country.
Thanks for stopping by Shaw,
DeleteThat's interesting given you are as informed on a daily basis as anyone. Not that FOX, or MSNBC is the only place to get news, but no matter what source you use it is infiltrated by defining the same political forces. I use PBS, CSPAN, and other non-commercial sources. I have been watching Shep Smith on CNBC. He does not allow talking heads on his show, nor does he give commentary on every issue. He is more of an old type news show and delivers just the news. Refreshing difference.
PTSD - that's what we all have following our shared, national trauma. Unfortunately the Trauma is yet to BE over.
ReplyDelete"so it goes"
I for one DO intend spending less time paying attention to things I have little to no control over. I expect Dims across 'Murka will do much the same and we'll ALL have our pants down low enough for a good full-frontal shagging in '22. Plus, that big ol' Michael Bolton vein on MY forehead looks like it might spew any second every time I get agitated and might need a Camel tube patch stitched down over it for safety's sake. so. Yeah, I'm keepin' my Volcano CRANKED! heh
props, my dood

DeleteMaybe your recent crop can help you cope. I'm still debating to reengage with the product, this environment is pushing me to say yes.
