Uplifting News


Yes, there is bad news to be dealt with in our country. We're witnessing a deeply concerning course of events these days. We are watching the toxicity of the radical white nationalist right reach a lethal level. Our democratic republic still faces it worst domestic threat. It can be difficult to believe the outcome won't be a grim darkness across the land.

Our elections and institutions are under attack by a highly mobilized radical horde. They are loyal true believers in Trump's Big Lie and see the rest of us as enemies. 

They will condone the worst incitements to violence. They'll say Trump's bloody coup was "legitimate political discourse". They'll be fine with Marjorie Taylor Greene's almost criminal lie, "I am not going to mince words with you all. Democrats want Republicans dead and they have already started the killings."

Many already say they won't accept an electoral defeat and will deny the will of the voters and try to overturn any loss. They are fascists. It's what they do.

But if their Dear Leader the Big MAGAt meets some justice, they're bound to lose some steam. 

We will have more uplifting stories and events to watch this November, especially if the Dems can hold Congress. 

Someone is already feeling very uneasy this October, and will soon be quite unhappy, no matter how the election turns out.

It's been a particularly rough week for the Orange Fuhrer. (Since he hates dogs, because they can judge character, I'll invoke the words of a cartoon canine.)

Ruh, roh! Part One:

First Durham falls flat, and now this:

DOJ Prosecutors say they now have enough evidence to charge Donald J Trump with Obstruction of Justice after investigating his theft of Top Secret/Classified Documents.

It looks like he will be charged with Obstruction of Justice.

Ruh, roh! Part Two:

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the release of emails from John Eastman, a former Donald Trump attorney, to House investigators, saying the communications were made in furtherance of a crime related to Trump’s efforts to subvert the 2020 election.

“The emails show that President Trump knew that the specific numbers of voter fraud were wrong but continued to tout those numbers, both in court and to the public,” Judge David O. Carter wrote.

“The Court finds that these emails are sufficiently related to and in furtherance of a conspiracy to defraud the United States,” he added.

 

Obstruction of Justice AND Conspiracy to Defraud the United States.

 

Ruh, roh! Part Three:

E. Jean Carroll's attorneys have asked for Trump's DNA. 


Sure, we have our justifiable concerns and anxieties. But I would have no interest in trading all of mine for the growing fear and loathing, slowly seething within the empty heart of Don the Con.

Thanks for the good news. I'm feeling not so good about the upcoming election.

Chuck said...

If Trump is actually guilty of crimes, I hope he is prosecuted. The fact that leftists have been seeing non-existent criminal behavior since before he entered office, even when they had to try and fabricate it themselves (Steele Dossier, Russia-Russia-Russia, and the fake impeachment crap) doesn't suggest that anything else they accuse Trump of is factual either.

I wish Trump would just go away. Then the left could begin lying and demonizing the next conservative front runners, although I don't know what you all would do without the bad orange man to vilify.

Regardless, dementia Joe and the leftists in his administration have completely shit the bed on nearly every domestic and foreign policy issue. The public knows it, despite the Pravda media running interference for the idiot. It is because of Joe's failures that the left will likely see big losses in the coming weeks. Karma is a bitch!

Dave Dubya said...

I appreciate how Chuck's so "fair and balanced".

In his head Trump is innocent, even after he admitted to criminal sexual conduct, and was credibly accused by 26 women. He's now dodging having to submit a DNA sample because he KNOWS he's guilty.

He plead the Fifth hundreds of times because he KNOWS he's guilty.

But in Chuck's head Trump is innocent of crimes committed in broad daylight.

"Russia if you're listening..." was just a "joke". His campaign's numerous contacts with Russians are to be ignored, especially the one in Trump Tower with Don Jr.

He gave secrets to Russians in the Oval Office and bragged to them about firing James Comey to shut down the investigation of Russian interference. (Mueller gave ample evidence the Trump Cartel welcomed help from Russians.)

He thinks Trump is the "demonized" victim for sending an armed mob to obstruct Congress and overturn the election, and for stealing top secret documents.

This is what Chuck calls "non-existent criminal behavior". Bless his little cult-filled heart.

Better blame those evil leftists, amirite? No brain or conscience required.

And don't worry, there will always be plenty of actual Republican criminals for the left to blame for their crimes. And Trump won't be there to pardon all his pals.

Dave Dubya said...

I would also bet Chuck would vote for Trump again. I really don't think he's morally rooted enough to say he could never vote for a serial criminal liar like Trump.

Maybe Chuck "doesn't see crime" in Republicans like he "doesn't see color" in POC.

In fairness, I welcome his demurral.

Dave Dubya said...

Shaw,
We have to find joy where we can. The human spirit can thrive, even under fascism. It's good to keep this in mind because enough of our country has been effectively frightened and brainwashed into voting for authoritarians.

Although it won't be easy for them to restore our sabotaged democratic republic, I do feel that some hope lies in the younger generations who aren't as racist as ours and our parents' generations were.

Oh that's right, the destruction and hate of one man.

Dave Dubya said...

Anonymous,
Yes. The destruction and hate sown by an evil criminal must face justice. Elevating such a man above the law would mark the end of our republic, just as he ended our tradition of peaceful transition of power and acceptance of the will of the voters.

Chuck said...

So the destruction to the republic with bribes, arguably treason, and other actual high crimes and misdemeanors by the sitting president is okay with Dave, because he is a leftist Democrat.

Biden's corruption with bribes from China, Russia, and likely others far surpasses Trump's crimes. Then there are things like trying to force through a deal with Iran while they violate past agreements in pursuit of nuclear weapons. This threatens Israel and destabilizes the Middle East. He abandons allies in Afghanistan and causes the deaths of Americans by his fucking stupid surrender.

Biden's leftist/stupid policies have caused inflation to sky rocket, which hurts the poorest Americans the most. He cares nothing for constitutional rights as he weaponizes his justice department to arrest protestors outside abortion clinics, but does nothing to investigate those vandalizing, fire-bombing, and intimidating those at pregnancy resource centers and churches.

Yeah, justice is only what the left says it is, and used against their enemies. All orange people need to fear living in this leftist shit hole utopia.

Got it. Thanks for the lesson, Dave.

Dave Dubya said...

Chuck,
Thank you for your evidence-free accusations, indoctrinated resentments, and opinions based on your paranoid cult bubble propaganda.

I'm sure the Republicans can fix everything with more tax cuts for the rich, amirite?

And I'm sure your radical Right party of Trump is happy you have no clue about his numerous crimes. They have you on their leash.

Woof!

Chuck said...

Who is on the leash?

Do you really think this country is better off now under Biden and the left's policies?

Please tell me what they have done to "build back better" and improved the lives of Americans?

You claim others are nasty and filth and believers of lies while pontificating about bullies. Leftism = hypocrisy.

Anonymous said...

Trump has already fucked things up. To say justice to him is good news is to late and means nothing.

Dave Dubya said...

Chuck,

Unlike you, I'm not tethered to the lies and propaganda of any politician or party.

I've been disappointed by Democrats long enough to never take any promise or remedy at face value. The most powerful of Democrats are subservient to the same Big Money interests that own the Republican Party. Progressives are still the minority in the party.

I know this because I can question every political agenda.

You will never understand the growth of inflation and energy costs are GLOBAL, and there's no way Democrats or Biden could be responsible. Never mind corporate/energy profits are at record highs. Nobody on the Right has the guts to admit that corporate gouging contributes greatly to inflation.

But you have to crank up your hate somehow. The same goes for Biden's "crimes". You have no evidence. His kid is already under investigation, and there's nothing that indicates Joe profited from Hunter's dealings.

ALL you believe is the propaganda of the radical Right pro-Trump media. Trump and his propagandists define your reality and you regurgitate it. You can't fathom the possibility they lie to you and the country. Gullibility leads to willful ignorance.

I can say Democrats and corporate media have spread falsehoods. You can never say the same of Republicans and their media. See the difference yet?

But the authoritarians of the radical Right have always used falsehoods and groundless accusations to attack Democrats and the Left. Trump understood their cult mentality and knew he could con them into his deadly Big Lie, and to dupe them to send him money to boot. We remember he gathered his followers through his racist birther lie. His cult of frightened bigots trusts him completely.

Compared to two years ago MOST Americans are doing better. Trump's tax cuts for the rich exploded the deficit. A big yawn when Republicans do it.

Their only solution is more guns in the wrong hands, more tax cuts for the rich and depriving Americans of self-funded programs that keep millions out of poverty.

Trump promised the "best health care", and failed to make the slightest effort, as he tried to strip it from those under Obamacare.

Universal public healthcare IS the left's most important policy, yet it is obstructed by corporate Dems and Republicans. Fair, free and open elections IS an important policy from the left, but we see Republicans want only their party to control them and to restrict voter rights. Yes. RIGHTS. Want voter ID's? Bring 'em on. Let the federal govt. provide federal ID's for every registered voter. I bet you hate that idea. You want state level partisan control.

There's good reason the founders provided the federal govt. power to implement Article 1, Section 4
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations,

Now would be a good time for that, as the radical Right is threatening to take our Social Security and Medicare and hand them over to Wall Street cronies, or outright dismantle them.

They are stripping women's right to reproductive freedom, even to the point of the woman's death. Birth control is their next target.

Go to Iran if you want a theocracy. Our government is not your church.

Dave Dubya said...

(Cont.)
Republicans are installing election deniers to deny the will of the voters and steal future elections.

Republicans will only make things worse. And they succeeded. Most Americans see our democracy is in decline. Only ONE person is responsible for ending our honored tradition of peaceful transition of power.

"Law and order" is for everyone but Republicans. Trump's crooked cronies have been arrested and pardoned by him. He PRAISED his violent thugs for terrorizing Congress and beating cops bloody. HE PRAISED THEM!

Who the hell would be better off under these tyrants? Rich Republicans, that's who. And they don't give a damn about you, as long as you are on their leash that's all you're worth.

Now why don't you tell us how much Republicans give a damn about the people, and what brilliant plan they have to implement their dystopia.

Trump had the White House and Congress for two years and proved they don't give a damn.

All they want to do is enrich themselves and punish people they hate.

I welcome you evidence to the contrary.

At the QAnon conference today headlined by Eric Trump and Michael Flynn, the speaker says the ‘Angel of Death’ is coming for various govt officials,(Dems only) and God is reinstating Trump to the presidency by the end of the year. “This year, 45 is coming back! Not by his will but by God’s will!”

Chuck said...

Damn, you are quite the bullshitter.

You think you aren't tethered to a party or politician, but you refuse to see the mountains of evidence against Biden in his illegal dealings. The media and the swamp said Hunters incriminating laptop was Russian disinformation to through the election. Now they realize that not only is it credible but it is quite damning even of Joe. His business partner Bobulinski was stating this before any of the laptop's data was made public. You thought every fabricated rumor of wrong-doing of Trumps was true, but nothing of Biden's is. What a joke.

"Compared to two years ago MOST Americans are doing better. Trump's tax cuts for the rich exploded the deficit. A big yawn when Republicans do it."

WOW! Talk about believing the partisan lies. If that is truly the case, then I am sure the Democrats will do remarkably well during the mid-terms shortly. The truth is that even with the lying leftist media carrying their water, the Dems are in serious trouble and rightly so because millions more people are suffering under dementia Joe's policies.

You leftists only care about the ability for women to kill their unborn children and call is "choice". As for your bullshit voting lies, the GOP on the whole has tried to make sure that elections are fair, and that only registered citizens who happen to be alive are voting, unlike the left. Biden screamed how the new Georgia voting laws were disenfranchising voters and was Jim Crow 2, but record number of voters since those passed, and early voting for the mid-terms has already proven that to be another lie.

I don't want a theocracy, whether it be Christian, Muslim, or worshiping at the green altar of the leftist climate theocrats.

And it is fucking Biden weaponizing his so-called justice department that hates his enemies and uses his authority to arrest real peaceful protestors while letting arsonists, vandals, and his political allies of the hook. Hell there was a credible assassination attempt forming against a sitting SCOTUS justice and that piece of mentally degraded shit still wouldn't enforce the law and scatter those "peaceful protestors" outside of the justices' homes.

Yeah, you keep telling me how you all are sweetness and light while the GOP is the fascist boogey man. Hell, open your damned eyes and stop being a fool.

As for your Q nonsense, that is just asinine. Joe better hope there isn't a god, because he will stand in judgement over Biden someday and he will have a LOT to answer for.

Dave Dubya said...

Chuck,
Thank you for seeing I have a talent for something, and for your impassioned response. I appreciate your effort to make your case. In fact I’d like to see more.

Of course the term “bullshit” implies falsehoods, does it not? Or maybe your definition of bullshit is whatever you disagree with, or don’t believe or comprehend. This is conveniently covered by the right’s bullshit term “fake news” for anything that doesn’t regurgitate or comply to Trump’s rhetoric.

If you want to call bullshit, you need to show evidence to support your accusation. I know this is difficult for the radical Right, because beliefs always trump established science and facts.

I asked for evidence and you blasted a shotgun load of regurgitated radical Right talking points and resentments again.

Is that what they mean by “triggered”? I jest.

But I don’t jest when it comes to facts. Facts are what we use for evidence to support an opinion, argument or logical conclusion.

Are you with me so far?

You may not be familiar with the concept of the “information silo”. It’s a business term to explain dysfunctions due to a lack of shared information and sources.

In the case of American political “news”, we see a division between traditional journalism and the media platforms that convey only information and opinions supporting one party or person.

What we have today is a vast network of pro-Trump media that ignores another world of facts. And yes, left-leaning media can also be a silo. This is why we need to examine what facts and evidence they offer to support their propaganda. Yes, that is the correct term for both left and right.

The information silo of the Right will always demonize the “others”. Only Trump and his party have a lock on absolute truth, therefore any and all accusations against the “others” is taken as truth. No evidence is required when the message resonates with the FEELINGS of the target audience.

Are you still with me?

Good. We’ll discuss your resentments and assertions and how they lack supporting evidence later. You may discover bullshit is more universal than you imagine, even within your own words.

Well, actually your words are not your own, and are more regurgitation of pro-Trump media bullshit than evidence-based assertions. Both of us have likely regurgitated bullshit unwittingly and without regard to observable facts and evidence.

If you think what I’m saying here is bullshit, it might just mean you’re vision is restricted to your information silo, and is operating from insufficient grounding in facts.

I’ll continue this discussion later since I have some things to take care of today.

Anonymous said...

The shit he has gotten away with. The shit he has infiltrated in our politics for God knows how long. The hate he has planted in our people. Etc., etc., etc., No amount of punishment, or justice can replace that. But you enjoy your revenge and hate. I'm sure it will satisfy you.

Dave Dubya said...

Chuck,
Let’s look at some specifics of your impassioned response.

Part One:

”... you refuse to see the mountains of evidence against Biden in his illegal dealings.”

This fits the pattern of the habit the radical Right has of unsupported false accusations. Remember the “facts are evidence” thing? You didn’t cite any evidence of Biden’s illegal dealings, so how can I possibly refuse to see “the mountains of evidence”? You’re not the only one to fail to show such evidence. Nobody has. It is a FEELING and BELIEF promoted by pro-Trump media. Not even FOX(R) has shown evidence.

...”media and the swamp said Hunters incriminating laptop was Russian disinformation.”

It is true that SOME media pundits conjectured the laptop as such. They had no evidence to claim it as fact, did they? Only their opinion. See what I mean about BS?

It was speculation. Nobody but the Trump people and pro-Trump New York Post had access to the hard drive before the election. After the New York Post began publishing reports on the contents of the laptop in October 2020, The Washington Post repeatedly asked Giuliani and Republican strategist Stephen K. Bannon for a copy of the data to review, but the requests were rebuffed or ignored.

”...not only is it credible but it is quite damning even of Joe.”

After obtaining a copy of the hard drive, the Washington Post hired experts to examine it.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/30/hunter-biden-laptop-data-examined/

The problem is the chain of custody of the hard drive. There is evidence it was corrupted, according to Matt Green, a Johns Hopkins University security researcher who specializes in cryptography, and Jake Williams, a forensics expert and former National Security Agency operative. Williams also found records on the drive that indicated someone may have accessed the drive from a West Coast location in October 2020, little more than a week after the first New York Post stories on Hunter Biden’s laptop appeared. Over the next few days, somebody created three additional folders on the drive, titled, “Mail,” “Salacious Pics Package” and “Big Guy File” — an apparent reference to Joe Biden.

So the fact is the “media” had no access before the election to base an objective report on it. Thus conjecture.

...”Bobulinski was stating this before any of the laptop's data was made public.”

Unsupported claims by Hunter’s sleazy partner are not evidence, are they?

Politifact reports:

There's no credible evidence that Joe Biden played a role in his family’s foreign business activities.

Bobulinski provided some of his records to outlets like Fox News and the Wall Street Journal. Both reported that they do not show Joe Biden had business dealings with SinoHawk Holdings or took money from the Chinese company.

The Wall Street Journal reviewed his documents and found no evidence of wrongdoing by Joe Biden — or that he was active in his family’s foreign business endeavors, as Bobulinski claimed. The Journal reported that the text messages and emails Bobulinski shared from 2017 "don’t show either Hunter Biden or James Biden discussing a role for Joe Biden in the venture."

The venture in China "never received proposed funds from the Chinese company or completed any deals, according to people familiar with the matter," the outlet reported. "Corporate records reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show no role for Joe Biden."


Here’s the fact you have. Hunter is under investigation by the FBI. That’s it. And nobody denies it.

Another fact you may not know is Trump-appointed David Weiss, the US Attorney in Delaware, is leading the investigation of Hunter Biden.

You see how much easier it is to just regurgitate BS, than it is to debunk it? I do this because the truth needs to be defended.

Dave Dubya said...

Chuck’s Response Part Two:

You thought every fabricated rumor of wrong-doing of Trumps was true, but nothing of Biden's is.

You know what I thought because you say so? Quote me for proof of your accusation. You seem willfully oblivious of Trump’s wrong-doing.

Speaking of fabricated rumors.

As for your Q nonsense, that is just asinine.

It’s not MY Q nonsense. Chuck. It is the nonsense from your Trump Cult, fully endorsed by Trump, Flynn, and his elder male offspring.

“This year, 45 is coming back! Not by his will but by God’s will!”

Opening prayer today at Eric Trump and Michael Flynn’s QAnon event: “God, open the eyes of Pres Trump’s understanding, that he will know how to implement divine intervention. And you will not surround him with RINO trash, in the name of Jesus.”

https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1583514393069113344

"Compared to two years ago MOST Americans are doing better. Trump's tax cuts for the rich exploded the deficit. A big yawn when Republicans do it." WOW! Talk about believing the partisan lies.

Two years ago Americans were dying from covid amid a lockdown when millions lost their jobs. Now vaccinations are saving lives and unemployment is near record lows. These are called facts. Your saying they are lies doesn’t make them lies. Again, your FEELINGS and BELIEFS dictate your reality. And we know who propagates those feelings and beliefs, don’t we?

And reality does not conform to your feelings and beliefs:

”Trump added about $3.9 trillion to deficits so far, budget group says”
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/trump-added-about-3-9-trillion-to-deficits-so-far-budget-group-says-11599669921

”millions more people are suffering under dementia Joe's policies”

Why do I get the sense this reflects only your FEELINGS and BELIEFS? (Hint: NO evidence.)

Dave Dubya said...

Chuck’s Response Part Three:

You leftists only care about the ability for women to kill their unborn children and call is "choice".

This is easy for you to BELIEVE because it supports your FEELINGS.

It’s called reproductive freedom. And nobody is killing children. In the rational world words have meanings.

Definitions from Merriam-Webster the radical Right refuses to accept:

Baby: an extremely young child

Child: a young person especially between infancy and puberty


The vast majority of people, including “leftists”, oppose third trimester abortions unless the life of the mother is in danger.

A woman’s womb is not your property and not the government’s property. Her decision is not for others to make. How radical.

Unwanted children born to single young mothers or living in poverty are no concern to the party that would deny the woman her reproductive rights.

We leftists happen to care about the health and well-being of the women AND children. Which party wants to eliminate school lunches? Which party wants to force a ten-year old to bear a child? Which party opposes any public healthcare for the woman and child?

“Pro-life” always ends at birth.

As for your bullshit voting lies, the GOP on the whole has tried to make sure that elections are fair, and that only registered citizens who happen to be alive are voting, unlike the left.

If you call bullshit, decency requires facts and evidence to support the statement. None offered.

Biden screamed how the new Georgia voting laws were disenfranchising voters and was Jim Crow 2

Yes, he did. It was unsupported by evidence, so it is mere opinion. (Notice how I don’t reflexively regurgitate Dems and fact-check them.)

Even what you call “fake news” called him out:

”Biden falsely claims the new Georgia law ‘ends voting hours early”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/03/30/biden-falsely-claims-new-georgia-law-ends-voting-hours-early/

When has ANY pro-Trump media done the same with Trump? You can’t answer that, can you?

I don't want a theocracy.

We agree. Yet here we are, with a majority of Catholic Supreme Court Justices and a minority of conservative Christians inserting their religions’ dogma into law, government, and public health.

Dave Dubya said...

Chuck’s Response Part Four:

And it is fucking Biden weaponizing his so-called justice department that hates his enemies and uses his authority to arrest real peaceful protestors while letting arsonists, vandals, and his political allies of the hook.

That’s quite a pile of, well, you know, that stuff that has no evidence to support it.

I’ll show you what weaponizing the Justice Department really looks like.

Trump corruptly planned to replace the Acting Attorney General, so that the Department of Justice would support his fake election claims.

Trump wanted them to seize voting machines and to “Just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen”.

Hell there was a credible assassination attempt forming against a sitting SCOTUS justice and that piece of mentally degraded shit still wouldn't enforce the law and scatter those "peaceful protestors" outside of the justices' homes.

Unlike Trump, Biden doesn’t gas lawful peaceful protesters.

The “assassin” Roske himself called police after he saw U.S. marshals outside Kavanaugh's house. Roske told the dispatcher he was suicidal and intended to kill Kavanaugh. Montgomery County police took him into custody without incident.

That’s it. That’s the entire degree of violence from the protests.

I understand your resentment, but are you saying there are violent protests happening there now?

This is your chance to help me open my “damned eyes and stop being a fool”.

Again, I welcome any evidence you have. So far you offered nothing.

Now let’s talk about Biden “jacking up gas prices”, shall we?

As the Right hates to admit, rising energy prices and inflation are global. This would deflate their accusations that Biden caused it all. And they will deflect from corporate greed and record profits being any factor at all.

Did you know this?

Saudi-Aramco now owns the largest refinery in the US. Trump could have blocked the sale but didn't. In April 2020 he said:

“Just spoke to my friend MBS (Crown Prince) of Saudi Arabia, who spoke with President Putin of Russia, & I expect & hope that they will be cutting back approximately 10 Million Barrels, and maybe substantially more which, if it happens, will be GREAT for the oil & gas industry!” he tweeted, referring to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.”

No wonder it’s so much easier for you to blame Biden for global problems. No facts, evidence, or reasoning are required. Just belief.

A rational perspective would determine the accusation of bullshit is actually an example of the psychological defense mechanism called projection.

If we examine the facts and evidence, the rational conclusion would be the bullshit is mostly thrown from the Right.

Dave Dubya said...

Chuck's Response Epilogue:

For some reason I doubt Chuck will care to engage in further discussion. Faced with facts, evidence and reason, the radical Right will quickly show their aversion to truth and their lack of courage and integrity.

My words to him were:
"Trump had the White House and Congress for two years and proved they don't give a damn. All they want to do is enrich themselves and punish people they hate. I welcome your evidence to the contrary."

And he immediately deflected into his stream of angry resentments and radical right talking points. None of his accusations were supported by any reference to reality.

I know my words are wasted on his ilk. They refuse good faith discussion and debate and always fall into the same old pattern of resentment, grievance and lies.

It's proof of how effective their propaganda is. To them, there are only two sources of information. Pro-Trump media and "fake news". If it isn't pro-Trump, it's a lie.

They will sell and buy into any manufactured culture war outrage, any demonization and scapegoating of others. And they will cheer any cruelty inflicted upon the others and those who disagree.

This is why this country is so tragically divided. Hate and fear have taken hold of every radical Right election denier. I'm willing to bet many of the Republican election deniers only do so to hold power under Trump's rule. They would admit under oath that Biden won a fair election.

But they don't have to tell the truth, when lies are their key to power.

The term fascist is more accurate than any other.They are what they are.

What else can describe a cult that is so loyal to a pathological liar who sent an angry armed mob to overturn an election? What does it say about their character and values when they support the man who praised thugs after watching them beat cops and terrorize Congress for THREE HOURS on TV?

"You're very special. We love you."

When Putsch comes to shove, they are fascists.

Fascists don't want to hear what anyone else has to say. They have all the answers fed to them by their authoritarian leaders, exactly like a cult.

And I still welcome any evidence that would indicate where I am mistaken.

What I do not welcome is more personal attack,s and regurgitated lies, resentments, and white identity grievance politics.

In the meantime, I like the sound of crickets.

Dave,

You sure had plenty of fun with Chuck. Was he triggered, or what? I really enjoyed reading the commentary. A typical Trumpista, all bullshit all the time. I believe I've never seen a true Trumpista back-up a statement with facts yet. I guess that facts just aren't on their side. Keep defending the truth, Dave.

Chuck said...

Hey, coward, it is your blog so do what you will, but I noticed you are breaking your arm congratulating yourself while not publishing my response to your bull shit. You really are a piece of... work. You love to rile people up and create hate wherever you go and then blame others for being hateful.

You are the problem in this country. Biden and his minions are just a result of your leftist authoritarianism.

So much for your high-minded words of "arguing in good faith" as if you actually knew what the fuck that meant.

Dave Dubya said...

Well, Chuck.

Why the hell should I publish your mindless personal ad hominem attacks? We see your idea of "arguing in good faith".

We also see you are still full of rage, hate, and fascist scapegoating. But we already knew that.

Your inability to discuss, or even acknowledge, any of the facts I showed goes a long way in proving my case.

Thank you for your projection and continued refusal to offer facts and evidence.

So what else are you going to call me? Commie? America-hater?

It's all you got, isn't it?

Dave Dubya said...

Biden:

-Capped prescription costs
-Allows medicare to negotiate for lower pharma costs
-Cap insulin cost

GOP:
-Against all 3, and have declared their intentions to eliminate Social Security, Medicare and reproductive freedom for women.

Maybe Chuck hates our Constitution for providing for taxes, regulation of commerce, and the general welfare of We the People?

But he thinks I'm the problem with my "leftist authoritarianism".

Sad.

Dave Dubya said...

It's what they are and how the act.

CNN Reported:
Republican gubernatorial nominee in Michigan, a former TV news anchor, made the remarks on the far-right streaming news network Real America’s Voice, which hosts former Trump adviser Steve Bannon’s show, in late June 2020.

“The country today is divided, and this was the plan. It’s been in the works for years. The idea that you can topple the greatest country in the world. But to topple a country like the United States of America, you must be planning this for decades,” said Dixon. “Why wouldn’t that come from the party that lost the Civil War? The party that wanted to own people because they viewed them as less than human? Do you think that the Democrats are over losing to the north?”

“Democrat leaders, meanwhile, they sat back in their designer suits, eating their fillet with their nice bĂ©arnaise sauce while they watched the country rip itself apart because they were getting it all back, the slaves again,” said Dixon. “This time they’d be people of all colors – poor and broken – looking to them and begging for help. And they will gladly own you,” adding that next they will take “your guns, your speech and your God.”

CNN asked the Dixon campaign about these comments. The campaign responded not by addressing the substance of the comments but rather by claiming “CNN is rushing to the aid of their favored candidate, Gretchen Whitmer.”



Chuck is adapting the same MO of spewing outrageous hateful lies, then fleeing from any discussion or request for supporting evidence to defend their words.

They are authoritarian personalities with the emotional maturity of an adolescent.

When the adults say, "Please explain yourself", they get angry and run away.

Chuck said...

I did explain and sent links to support my claims. You cowardly did not publish it and then turn around and pat yourself on the back about how great you are in your debating. YOU and your hateful lies are the problem. I know this one won't be published either. Time to move on to other sites where the blogger isn't so deceitful in his bullying and name-calling. Later...

Dave Dubya said...

Links are welcome, Chuck.
But your ad-hominem attacks are not. Keep the links separate, indicate what point of yours they support, and I'll post them.

As I requested from the get-go, please show your evidence, not your anger and hate.

I'll even help show Chuck's accusations that need supporting evidence: "...destruction to the republic with bribes, arguably treason, and other actual high crimes and misdemeanors by the sitting president is okay with Dave, because he is a leftist Democrat...Biden's corruption with bribes from China, Russia, and likely others far surpasses Trump's crimes."

He won't cite the crimes or evidence, but KNOWS I'm "okay with it".

I welcome his evidence of that fabrication as well. He will need to quote my actual words, so I doubt he'll do it. He has to READ them first. But he already KNOWS EVERYTHING, so why bother reading, amirite?

A heads up for Chuck and his links.

He needn't bother with doctored evidence like this:

Reuters and The Associated Press report that a video in which White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre appears to ignore a question by Fox News reporter Peter Doocy on oil companies has been digitally altered. Official transcripts and video footage of the press conference confirm that Jean-Pierre did answer the question, according to The AP.

"Social media users are sharing an edited video showing an interaction between Jean-Pierre and Doocy after he asked about Biden’s plans to combat high gas prices during an Oct. 19 White House press briefing. Instead of showing Jean-Pierre’s response, the low resolution video then adds a whistling sound and cuts to the end of the briefing where Jean-Pierre says 'thanks everybody' and closes her notebook to leave" — The AP

"Video of White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre where she appears to ignore a question by Fox News journalist Peter Doocy on oil companies has been digitally altered. "In the clip being shared online, the video cuts out at this point and makes it appear that Jean-Pierre did not respond to Doocy’s question, but rather thanked the room, and packed up to leave the briefing. However, in the original video, Jean-Pierre does respond to Doocy." — Reuters

Still waiting for Chuck to list the criminal charges against Biden, and the evidence behind the charges.

Or is he just full of bullshit? That's what his lack of evidence indicates.



Dave Dubya said...

If Chuck really loves America, one would think he'd be a little more emphatic about citing Biden's crimes and showing the evidence against him.

Maybe Chuck just hates Biden more than he loves America?
