I'd say that those are all examples of your checks and balances failing.

This just didn't happen overnight, Noll. It's been coming on since Reagan destroyed the long established (1949) FAIRNESS DOCTRINE in 1987.

[Lifted from Wikipedia]

Key events leading to its end include:

* 1987 FCC Vote: In August 1987, the FCC, under new chairman, Dennis Patrick, voted 4-0 to abolish the Fairness Doctrine, concluding that the rise of cable television and other media outlets had made the "scarcity" argument for regulation - obsolete.

* Reagan's Vote: Before the FCC vote, the Democrat-controlled Congress passed legislation (the Fairness in Broadcasting Act of 1987) that would have codified the doctrine into federal law. President Reagan vetoed this bill, stating that the content-based regulation by the federal government was "antagonistic to the freedom of expression guaranteed by the First Amendment".

Consequences

The repeal is often linked to the subsequent rise of highly partisan talk radio and cable news networks in the late 1980s and 1990s. While the Fairness Doctrine applied only to broadcast licenses (not cable networks like Fox News or MSNBC), its absence is seen as having lowered overall industry standards for balanced reporting, contributing to greater political polarization in U.S. media.

This shithead demands a Nobel peace prize..? Claims he's stopped 7 or 8 wars in 2025... Waits til 2026 to start one against a helpless nation. Reminds me of when George HW Bush invaded Panama in 1989.

Woo Hoo - another Republican started war of choice. Thanks, MAGA

My father used to say: "Those who feel a need to exclamate loudly are not the ones to listen to."

Give them the finger and argue against the injustice. If that doesn't work - prepare to kill some crazy motherfuckers.

Look at this dignified US President. He looks like he's had half a dozen strokes this year and can barely stand up without toppling over.

Vurp

We’ve got a demagogue on her hands and due to a combination of factors, from inflation, driven by Covid and the blame that that was put on the Biden administration, the Progressive’s not backing Harris because they weren’t happy with her support for Palestine, and immigration issues similar to what you see in much of Europe and the reaction to it real loud a group of extremist to take power in the country

This isn’t over yet

I suppose it depends upon where you've dredged up your information, but this is the first time I've heard that Progressive Liberals didn't vote for Harris because she supports the Palestinians - when in my experience and (sources I dredged up) that is entirely 180 degrees NOT the case.

I've lost a handful of online Lush friends here because I've proposed that the current regime leading Israel needs to be put on trial at The Hague for the genocide they've inflicted upon GAZA since the early 1990s. I was immediately called an anti-semite who must love Hamas and Hezbollah. And that has never been a belief I've held or expressed. That entire region needs to see zero bloodshed, zero genocide, zero aerial bombing runs, zero missile launches/retaliation.

And Bibi is a war criminal and he's all for retaliation as well as instigation. Motherfucker.

Ambushed by his own brother's in arms. MAGA not to keen on their Indian/American FBI Director. It's like they just now found out.

Inside job.

Kind of hard to believe the inept Trump administration could cleanly pull off such a thing, based on how they botched the phony Trump assassination over a year ago now - in Butler, PA.

Somehow the shooter got cleanly away, but gifts of engraved bullet casings and a wrapped up hunting rifle in THE WOODS.

Immediately the podcast bro's of MAGA began accusing liberals and declaring open season and CIVIL WAR on the left.

All to distract us from THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Love the irony of Trump's sharp shooter taking out the trash under a tent where the statement: PROVE ME WRONG was so boldly proclaimed.

Sorry Charlie - you've been thrown into the Trump family wood chipper.

Obvious symptoms indicating congestive heart failure is in his immediate future. Massive stroke or heart attack - imminent. I especially like the visible bruising and swollen ankles/calves/feet.

Would be declared a national holiday in a few years - Not a Nobel Prize, but he'd gain Washington and Lincoln holiday status forever!

Imagine his funeral - unattended by any living former presidents and zero Democrats in attendance.

Why can't I post a youtube video anymore? What has this website devolved from? JFC

Every youtube video I post anymore does not resolve.

Why did I pay $150 to join this mishmash of stupidity?

Nicola - I hope you got paid when you sold this site off to these morons.

The racists and misogynists of the Billionaire Class have been working for 40 + years to turn the economic middle class against the economic lower class, and to shun all immigrants who attempt legal immigration (along with the associated 10 to 12 years of legal hoops and other assorted hardships/missed appointments/long waiting times in between appointments), which the legal route entails.

They use their controlled media to make all of us fight against each other, while the Billionaires enjoy ALL THE TAX BREAKS.

Billionaire sporting team owners have convinced us to build them multi-billion dollar cost new stadiums, on tax-payer funds - then they charge exhorbitant prices to attend games or functions inside those public financed buildings. They will pit state versus state, municipality vs municipality for the 'right' to build such stadiums, every 25 years. That's just one glaring example.

I wonder if Florida has a Revenge Porn law on their books yet. In any event, this shitbag needs to get drummed out of Congress and go live his best life in prison for about 9 years for starters.

99 times out of 100 - it's a MAGA adherent who is accused and guilty of committing crimes against children.

Come'on you lazy bastards, get off the couch, put away your PlayStation and support our Patriotic American Farmers! Trump's regime will bring back chattel slavery before 2028 - be a part of the great economic recovery! Start now and earn your Medicaid! It's only 20 hours a week, that's just 4 hours a day!

Do it Donald, do it! Show the world what a big bad dictator you've devolved into.

Deport Musk!

We're already well on the way to being told: "Present your papers, so we may identify you." by the MAGA Gestapo ICE agents - if any of us are out traveling. We might as well implement this guy's idea. MAGA voters get a red card to present...non-MAGA voters receive a blue card to show when asked. Benefits are enjoyed by one group, while the MAGA control freaks get to bask in their poverty and self voted-for hardships.
