Oh what a difference a political party makes...

...to CNN and how they cover protests

Look how puckered up their assholes are over this particular protest:

And STILL....STILL....they are going with the "4 deaths" from these "riots."

Who are these other three?

Quote:
"One adult female and two adult males appear to have suffered from separate medical emergencies, which resulted in their deaths. Any loss of life in the District is tragic and our thoughts are with anyone impacted by their loss," Contee said at a news conference Wednesday night.
Seriously? Did they die from COVID? One can only hope.

Congress Defies a deadly attack?

Spin, spin, spin, cuck, cuck, cuck. But, the mostly peaceful protests......

And the best news is that yesterday is now being called unpatriotic.

And the absolute complete MORONS in both political parties can not see that Americans, no matter their political leanings, are fed up.

Fed up with with politicians who constantly are putting special interests, themselves, other nations, and the desire for power, above what is best for the citizens of the United States.

Secret servers, erasing phones, planes of cash, Blackwater, insider trading, Portland, Kenosha, censorship, the list goes on.

The only thing Congress has defied, is doing what they are elected to do. Serve in the best interest of those who elected them.

This subject and the examples given are what the future protests need and the scariest part of what is going on this this country ( World ) today.


People really think that CNN is news and if CNN says it it must be true. They have no idea how biased it is.



Add to that Social Media censorship from Facebook and Twitter and we truly are in a horrible place.


Free speech, uncensored social media and responsible journalism are all disappearing.


This is what we need to fight for to survive. These are scary times.


This is about control of peoples minds by CNN, Twitter and Facebook. That is what we need to fight against.


Say what you will about PA.....Most of us can say what we want, unless we harass TLG ( sorry, inside joke between me and PA).

It isn't just CNN, NYT, Facebook and Twitter.

Shopify pulls Trump stores from platform:
https://seekingalpha.com/news/364970...=seeking_alpha

Quote:
• Shopify (SHOP +6.1%) says it has terminated stores affiliated with President Trump after his speech yesterday was followed by the breach of the U.S. Capitol building.

• "Shopify does not tolerate actions that incite violence. Based on recent events, we have determined that the actions by President Donald J. Trump violate our Acceptable Use Policy, which prohibits promotion or support of organizations, platforms or people that threaten or condone violence to further a cause," updates the online platform.
Not all that long ago Shopify was a tiny startup hoping to win market share away from Amazon by offering a better online storefront package.

Fast forward to present day.

Now they've decided to 'cancel' online merchants based on political belief.

Imo, this has some very real slippery slope potential.

As an independent site owner myself I have to ask the following:

Is the day coming when web hosting companies start 'canceling' independent websites hosted on their servers based on political belief?

How long before domain name registrars like GoDaddy get in on the act?

That day is already here...I believe I've already read some stories.

Time to close off-topic I guess

I agree completely, but in their minds it is their special interests' money that elected them so they will serve them.

This is brutal news. People rely on Shopify. This is what I mean. How can they wield this kind of power because they don't like Trump. Lots of people will suffer financially. Of course to the benefit of Amazon.



Gets scarier every day.

Tulsi is one of the few politicians who is well-grounded in "Reality" and what has become "Uncommon Sense."

Of course...of course...we all know that if the political parties were switched, the Democrats would have had ZERO problems with what went down yesterday...they've already proven that over and over again and the above video provides the video evidence.

It's all a joke. All a show. We all pay the price. And that's that.

That's why I'm done.
