Unless I missed it, I wish Biden had contrasted the Ukranian people fighting for their democracy against factions in this country trying to tear it down.

As a liberal who likes to express her admiration, and longing, for a European style health care system, among other advantages they enjoy, and gets told frequently that if I like it so much, I should move there, I’d like to pass on similar advice to Lil’ fTtucker and advise him to pack his bags, find a nice big dachas for the family and move there. Maybe he can sell a few TV dinners.

You would think that having vile hatred and death wishes thrown back in his face would make him think twice about working for the network which had a lot to do with normalizing such behavior. But this is America and even with, I imagine, platinum health insurance he probably has medical bills coming out the wazoo and needs the money after such a lengthy illness.
Hi Bemused-March 11 I have skin graph surgery for the hole in my knee. When that heals, knee surgery. Finally.
Ellen, I sympathize. I occasionally have back pain and sciatica too. It sometimes makes you wonder if evolving to walk upright was really worth it. Hope you feel better soon.

IMO, and I’m sure you all have thought about this too, is that this isn’t just a money maker for the Murdoch’s and their big salary opinion talkers. It’s bigger than that. This is a game that’s been going on for thousands of years of human history.
In the current era starting with the crucifixion of Christ, groups of people have blamed the Jews for His death. It was never the ‘Jews’. It was rich powerful men who happened to be Jewish, men of authority who gained their power, wealth and authority from other men of authority in Rome who deigned to bestow it upon them as long as they toed the line. These men were fearful of having their grip on the people and their thoughts, obedience, loyalty and money slipping away from them because of this rabble rouser. He had to go.
Anyone who’s ever dared to upset the applecart has been demonized. Pick a religion, any religion, atheists, any indigenous peoples, women, gays, free thinkers, the list goes on. If the rich and powerful are threatened, their lackeys, some of which is Newshound’s focus, are given their orders and the propaganda begins.
I’m reading a very good book, I think, at the moment: The Dawn Of Everything, by Davids Graeber and Wengrow. Maybe it’s my persona or just current circumstances, but when I give myself over to thinking too much of what I read and think of what humanity could of been, I do suffer melancholia. So, then I pop in my DVD of The ‘Burbs, with Tom Hanks and ’verrrry interesting’ Artie Johnson (anyone remember Laugh In?) and have some out loud laughs and then I can sleep again.

Cruz is a disgusting example of humanity. I wonder if he feels he has to grovel because of his ethnicity? After all he’s not exactly the ‘right kind’ if the Brown Shirts were to take over. Maybe he’s auditioning for a seat in the light brown section?
Bemused, as long as I don’t move, not feeling too badly. Just waiting to see if I’ll be considered essential or non-essential surgery when I go back to the doc on Wed. Area hospitals have cancelled NES for the next few weeks due to Covid.
Hope you are feeling better too Ellen.

Bemused, Gov DeathSentence, we’ve just discovered, let a million test kits expire rather than distribute them. Here in Brevard County, I was in the ER. I had a fall two days before New Years. Broke my big toe, knee, arm and bruised my hip replacement. All on my right side. No orthopedic doc on duty. I got sent home with a script for one pain pill a day for five days. No beds available! I told the nurse treating me she looked tired. Here in Florida, vaccines aren’t mandatory, unlike where my niece works. This nurse said probably close to 35% of the nurses are unvaccinated in that hospital. Yeah, she was tired.

The GOP and the rightwing media, not to mention their voters, must think the half of the country that didn’t vote for The Dump is as stupid as the half that did If they believe liberals, BLM, Atifa, democrats, Sesame Street residents, undead zombie Democratic voters, et. al. were really the ones at the Capital that day.
Don’t they believe their Dear Leader would’ve jumped at the chance to bulldoze them if they had been and made all their dreams come true? But he didn’t. Why? Because they weren’t the ones there. Yet they still believe…

Maybe the jury was more afraid of there being a white, right-wing, violent riot with more gunfire and killing than doing the right thing.
When you can’t count on the police to uphold law and order in that event but possibly join in, may be they felt they had no choice.
It’s like watching the fall of the Roman Empire with the barbarians sweeping in, picking off weak areas of leadership, one battle at a time.
Hope justice prevails in GA and Charlottesville. I’m shallow breathing until the verdicts come down.

Ah, thanks John.

I don’t remember anymore how I found this group, but I’ve learned so much about how the media influences our perceptions by reading Ellen’s posts and all your comments. Thank you.
