“should speak more about his record, what and how he intends to turn things around”
Agree. Also, historical Americas like me need to be careful that we aren’t poisoning ourselves, or should I say allow poisons to flow too freely among us.
In the world economy, American manufacturing costs are too high to be competitive, which is to say wages and benefits are too high.
We “historical Americans” expect those wages. Immigrants, especially illegal ones, will work for less.
Fake media.
Arthur Jensen was right, in the movie “Network” back in 1977:
Jensen: You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won’t have it!! Is that clear?! You think you’ve merely stopped a business deal. That is not the case. The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back! It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity! It is ecological balance!
You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels.
It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU WILL ATONE!
Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale?
You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.
What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state — Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do.
We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that perfect world in which there’s no war or famine, oppression or brutality — one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock, all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused.
And I have chosen you, Mr. Beale, to preach this evangel.
Beale: But why me?
Jensen: Because you’re on television, dummy. Sixty million people watch you every night of the week, Monday through Friday.
Beale: I have seen the face of God.
Jensen: You just might be right, Mr. Beale.
THE WORD FOR TODAY,BOYS AND GIRLS , IS...DARK.
Can you say it...DARK.
Okay, now, LET’S REPEAT IT... DARK, DARK, DARK.
Guess what, you adults, we ARE in a bad place right now.
“I can write for CNN! I’m smart, not dumb like everybody says”.
Iirc, Trump did not describe the Democrats as vermin, he said some of his enemies live like vermin. And I can’t find any direct quote that Trump said poisoning the blood as opposed to simple poisoning. Both statements are being twisted.
Pretty rich com8ng from XiNN...
Without even looking, my instinctive guess is that the “poisoning the blood” comment was a reference to the Fentanyl being brought in my illegals migrants. But hey, who needs context, right?
But illegals with papers demand their wages be equal to those they work with...as soon as they have their ID’S.
Looks like the Democrat talking points and trigger word notifications have been sent out! LOL!
With the blessing of the CIA.
Wow, my fingers really got sloppy while typing that, didn’t they? I guess sometimes autocorrect can come in handy, after all.
Well the deballed minions that now comprise the dim party, yeah would think that....
“Dark Trump” bad, “Dark Brandon” good?
There's a lot to be said for that, but those companies don't really rule the world anymore. AT&T is gone (or has been downsized to the point where it doesn't matter). IBM has been overtaken by Microsoft, Apple, and Google. Exxon and GM take what they can get from Biden. Chemical companies have been outpaced by pharmaceuticals. Foreign firms do more and more of the world's manufacturing.
Point being a few oligarchs, like Bill Gates are now running the show.
CNN and Yahoo give me a break those who believe their website carp are not critical thinkers.
“The language “parrots Adolf Hitler,” President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign alleged.”
And Yahoo alleged it too. Because Yahoo is illegally acting on behalf of Joe Biden’s reelection campaign.
No, you delusional, socially isolated PoS, the REAL chilling thing for you is the realization that we do not give a s---t how you want to twist things around, we are still going to think in ways that corporate doesn't approve of. We can hear the source speech for ourselves and know how much of liar you are.
They publish articles from The New American, Breitbart and many other solidly conservative sites.
They are solidly agnostic in their news feed.
And solidly biased in their own reporting.
