It's not
about being liberal or conservative anymore y'all. That is a hype offered by the fascist whores who want to confuse the people with lies while they turn this country into an aristocratic police state. Some people will say anything to attain power and money. There is no such thing as the Liberal Media, but the Corporate media is very real.
Rethuglicans are proud of their dismantling of government of,by, and for the people. Look at that sick smirk McConnell has when he proudly admits Obama couldn't fill Federal courts with judges because of his anti-constitutional obstruction. And did you catch the manner in which he spoke about handling the Impeachment process. Look at his eyes. This man is perverse to say the least.
Brian Tyler Cohen's commentary is exemplary here in his daily video-blog.

Democratic Legislator from California Harder confronts Betsy DeVos
Because Education is the new economic sector, so naturally this bigoted patrician is "offended" when she is confronted by the truth of her reality.

Thomas Paine quote about corruption
“There is something in corruption which, like a jaundiced eye, transfers the color of itself to the object it looks upon and sees everything as stained and impure.” -- Thomas Paine
Here is the context from which that quote has been culled:

Kamala Harris is a force
You go girl.
The woman is a pro. Notice how she effectively used her time to evince an enormous amount of damning evidence. Fuck yea.
Thank you Brian Tyler Cohen, who has been putting these video missives together for (I think) more than 2 years now.

Republicans WTF is your patriotism
Jesse Dollemore, ex-marine and true patriot.
These people project and deflect, acting as if defending the atrocious criminal treasonous behavior is somehow in the interest of the "American People".
Excuse me but I don't recall the Clinton's or Obama or Jimmy Carter or LBJ or John Kennedy selling condominiums and whole floors of hotel rooms to various foreign agents for millions of dollars on a regular ongoing basis, using his properties as an instrument of money laundering schemes.
Leaving aside the obvious attempts (and success) at collusion with various foreign national operatives -- this alone is an atrocious treasonous act. If you let foreign national operatives funnel money into your businesses at double or more the market value, that is called ...
It's because the Republicans have been systematically put into place and blackmailed -- which is why Jeffrey Epstein was .... I'll leave that up to you to fill in the details.
It's disgusting. So when you see the merchants of lies show up on your TV or you-tube or twitter feed spewing lies, you have to wonder, what do they have on you?
Lindsay Graham from South Carolina. John Kennedy from Louisiana. Devin Nunes from California. Jim Jordan from Ohio. What do they have on you? Why sell your integrity for pennies on the dollar?

Logical Fallacies
I love Beau. He has a genuine, thoughtful, and respectful take on issues. He also does an intelligent discussion of human logical fallacies. The Republican party currently lives on the basis of misinformation campaigns and heavy use of logical fallacies, as Beau explains here.
Recently I pointed out to someone who lives in my neighborhood that Herr Trump had "Rudy Giuliani running a shadow state department, and Eric Prince attempting to set up back channel communications with Russia and Saudi Arabia via a meeting in the Seychelles Islands." The person said, "Oh, well you just don't like Trump's style" and discredited my facts.
Uhm, like 2 years ago
[SOURCE:Washington Post | 3 April 2017 | ] ...
And, how do you accidentally wind up here meeting operatives from BOTH Russia and Saudi Arabia?
Puh-lease.
This is fucking serious y'all. We have a President and a political party that has been colluding (at the worst) or willing to collude with heinous foreign governments both during the Trump campaign and after Trump got elected. The Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Rudy Giuliani, and Eric Prince incidents prove this. Our government has been invaded by partisan hacks who are blind, hell bent on destroying the government from the inside out and whittling away at the democracy we have been building and improving since 1776 or earlier.
They look the other way when the NRA was found to be laundering money from Russian sources, and involved with a Russian spy that got arrested -- sleeping with various high level officials like a true spy, a modern day Mata Hari.
The links are a complex web as evidenced by two of those at the 2016 convention dinner. Ex-Moscow banker Alexander Torshin, who was sanctioned last year, and his gun rights protege Maria Butina, who in late 2018 pleaded guilty to being a Russian influence agent and is now cooperating with US law enforcement, spent years cozying up to the NRA and some of its leaders.

Was that hammered into your skull by the corporate media sources? Of course not. The owner's are only interested in managing their own personal benefits from the global capitalist system and could care less about a functional democracy that enables a government of, by, and for the people. So the owner's hire spokesperson's who frame the contemporary issues in manageable paradigms, or simply ignore -- which is what is happening here. Most of the elite think they can manage this maniac in the white house, hiding behind the corporate artifices of civic communication. They think of themselves as providing outdoorsy stump speaking events, with folksie-aw-shucks people standing on wooden boxes and speaking before crowds sitting on the grass.
Newsflash. The TV and the internet are not public speaking events. The people you see speaking on corporate media are well paid. We are being pigeonholed into manipulated categories and fed propaganda, some blatant and some subtle. Some media outlets (MSNBC, Washington Post) largely consist of facts; others (Fox, SF Chronicle) often contort facts to the extreme, even outright lying. That's the difference between the Democratic and Republican party nowadays, competing versions of how to manage the underclasses for the Billionaire classes that own them. This is the inevitable result of allowing money to influence (pay for) our democracy, the fact that an entire political party is basically okay with colluding with foreign governments to influence or manipulate politics or democratic elections.
Which blows my mind. Reagan Republicans would spit on this modern after-birth of what had been something resembling integrity before the two World Wars. Hiram Johnston, Theodore Roosevelt, Florencio LaGuardia, and Robert M. La Follette to name a few. After FDR captured the government in 1932 the morbid uber-wealthy put their resources into the Republican party, and gradually strangled the integrity out of it, preferring the hiring of charlatans, political jackals, and word merchants to prop up their overall desire to get whatever they want without any civic obligations necessary -- because ... capitalism? Free Markets? The Divine Right of Kings? .. or whatever mojo they can string together to confuse the plebs.
