Media’s breathless, hysterical, round-the-clock, clickbait coverage of the protests is yet another example of how the fourth estate has abandoned any and all responsibility to inform and educate in exchange for advertiser-luring clicks.

I am still waiting for the major part of the media to own up to their role in helping to elect Trump in 2016. Their coverage of everything else has been failing us all and this is no different. A large portion of people have also apparently learned nothing.

In my history classes, we were taught to spot yellow journalism and sensational journalism.

I pretty much only read wire services anymore because the rest falls under one or both of those two. Even sources I came to trust went into a death spiral in 2014-2015.

The presstitutes are looking for easy money nowadays and stoking the flames of chaos is the easiest money there is.

You want jobs? Elect a Democrat.

Bidenomics = record low unemployment, record high stock market, record number of Americans with health insurance, and real wages and national income are rising.

Are we better off now than we were four years ago? Yes.

US economy added a whopping 303,000 jobs last month, far outpacing expectations:

I've noticed something over the years. Every time a Democrat is in office, the roads get fixed, electric lines get replaced, the roads get plowed nicer in the winter. Every time a Republican is in office, the roads go to shit and they don't get plowed too good.

That is correct. Your righteous anger is misplaced and you are at fault, yes.

History will record you as complicit and cooperative to the groups you claim to demonstrate against and protest about. They will refer to you as a "useful idiot" and you will disagree and think it has value.

It'd be just like most wars. The rich kids get off, the poor kids die. Now think of which group these kids calling for revolution tend to come from. It's not the group that would die.

It's damn easy to write checks with your mouth that other people gotta pay for.

@TonyStark @mentallyalex @GreenFire

This is something I have been trying to say for a long time. When you kick off a revolution, you can no longer control that power vacuum. Whatever is the strongest force will fill it. That force will either be the US military or right wing militias that have been training and salivating for decades for this kind of thing.

Calling for revolution is like thinking that a redeal in a poker game will guarantee you a royal flush. That ain't how it works hoss.

@GreenFire @TonyStark @mentallyalex

It didn't go that easily though, it was relatively standard with regard to how difficult it was. They were literally fighting against the largest and most powerful military the world had ever known at that time.

However, education has been gutted so much and the textbooks have been tinkered with so much that the material around the Revolutionary War has been reduced to a series of footnotes. So people think it was as simple as buying a can of Coke.

It's absolutely despicable. I used to be a lot further left than I am now (I've taken to saying I'm a liberal, not a progressive) and there was always this vomit-inducing undercurrent of antisemitism in it.

I began to wise up and close to door on that kind of politics last year and then October 7th happened and that welded the door shut.

I've also had to divorce myself from the LGBT community over it. So much antisemitism there too that was emboldened by Oct. 7th.

Meanwhile here in Pennsylvania you can change it with a simple form at the DMV. No court paperwork required.

I wanted to go visit Hemingway's house in Key West, guess that'll never happen.

I gripe about New Mexico and trying to get anything done, but credit where credit is due. Maggie Toulouse-Oliver, our Secretary of State, has done an incredible job fortifying and modernizing our voter registration and voting systems. I was able to change my voter registration online in 5 minutes. Securely. Big fan.

@TheJen

Here in PA it's super easy too. Takes me a little longer than 5 mins but most of that time is going to my purse and digging out my driving license to double-check the ID number.

I registered to vote at the DMV when I got my license so I never registered with an actual form, but helping people with the online registration form, it's just as easy as changing an existing one.

Morally correct or not, the one thing this repugnant MAGA virus has changed in popular culture is the number of non-violent liberals repeatedly suggesting that strategic political assassinations might have some pragmatic value in saving America, if not the entire planet.

In some respects, these modern MAGA muttonheads are a direct result of some liberal orthodoxies. We made “do your own thing” a prime directive for 2.5 generations. So their grandparents did. And their parents did. And now they do. And here we are.

@shoq

I've thought that the (now old) line "make the personal political" eventually leads to MAGA. MAGA is a bunch of people who took their personal problems and prefudices and made them overwhelmingly political.
