"“Look, the president called me and said: 'Anything you need.' I have not called him back after that conversation," DeWine said during a press conference on Tuesday. "We will not hesitate to do that if we're seeing a problem or anything, but I'm not seeing it."

But of course after Fox New's own texts showed they were gaslighting their challenged consumers we see another link here of disinformation. Here's the Governor's take

I think it has more to with China wanting to maintain what they perceive at the least amount threat near their borders. That being they'd love to see Putin remain in power even if in a slightly weakened state. They don't want him to blow through Ukraine and somehow regain Russia's superpower status. But what they really don't want is either an even more nationalistic, militaristic regime in Moscow if Putin falls or even worse for China, somehow a Russian democracy come to fruition. They also don't want to see the Russian Federation splinter. So I think they'd love to see a negotiated "peace" where Putin can save face and stay in power by keeping some of the oblasts in eastern Ukraine. By providing enough military aid to Russia the Chinese might help Putin from getting trounced once the western arms are in place and Ukraine embarks on it's anticipated spring/summer offensive.

Is he getting worse? When his aorta blows will they blame it on the vax?

I opened up the link to see if they were Republicans, you know, the pro-life party. To my relief they were. I knew we count on them to do the right thing. Absolutely we need to criminalize the administration of a vaccine which has proven to have saved millions of lives here in the US alone. Then I had to double check to see if they truly were members of the party of fiscal responsibility. I mean who could possibly be in favor of a vaccine that has kept tens of millions of Americans out the hospital? We need to go back to the days before the vaccines were rolled out when mortuaries were filled to the brim and bodies stored in freezer trucks and field hospitals were being setup to facilitate the overflow from our hospitals. Because scientists are all liars who developed the virus so they could make money on the vaccine. Way easier grift than an insurance agent. Those guys, in between rounds of golf, work hard

Unfortunately what Carl Sagan says here is true. For the vast majority of right-wing targets it's too late. "One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back".

The focus of this lawsuit is on Fox News but virtually every right-wing source did the same thing. They all propagated the "stolen election" lie to their mindless audiences in order to make a buck. All of them knew it was bulls#!t. In the meantime, they pushed, and are pushing, our democracy to the brink. We all know it, but when those same sources are posted here, know that those posting those sources are good with overturning democracy in favor of autocracy. Either that our they're the ignorant who lap up the lies of the likes of Fox News and their even more right-wing counterparts. This is how authoritarianism takes hold.

It seems like all the liars in the country have figured out that all you need to do is make up a fake resume, paste an R by your name, run for office and you're in.

Too bad a mentally ill Trump doesn't have the courage to seek help. But nah, let's vote for him three times. Ironically, I haven't seen any comments from board Trumpists saying he should never have ran for office.

Who could ever imagine that Fox News knew the election wasn't stolen but continued to gaslight MAGA cement heads? https://www.npr.org/2023/02/16/1157558299/fox-news-stars-false-claims-trump-election-2020 And continue to do so to this day

But you had to know MAGA would not be a better person.

Maybe if her party of choice could come up with policies that weren't going to create a dystopian hellscape they might garner a higher percentage of the young voters.

That's how the conversation went after the shock subsided. I said "I don't even know what woke is. Can you tell me?". Of course she couldn't. She's also a Fox News junky btw

I told me 80 year old mom I was woke...lol. The look in her face

The Elon bros can identify with this

The future is here and it's abject idiocy

The scary part about his interview is this quote: The question will be if the west has the resolve to see this through. They're own security depends on it. We know the Ukrainians have the will.

This would all be solved if schools only had one entrance that was locked from the inside and if teachers like you, and every student, was armed to the teeth. In the event some six year old amongst all his gun toting classmates wants to shoot the place up, we expect you or your armed classroom to blow that six year old away. You need to know that student's intentions first. No do overs, no oopsie daisies. Got it? Then to further protect our kids we're going to make sure that they never, ever read woke garbage about how Roberto Clemente rose above the challenges of racism he faced on the way to the Hall of Fame.

Man this thread just turned dark. Especially since you all aren't wrong.

And yet I wonder how much time that guy has spent condemning Putin's actual ushering in of Hell on Earth.

I'll wait until I actually see the 118th Congress investigate Trump's and Kushner's influence peddling before I consider Comer's answer as "reasonable" rather than bulls#!t.
