12.8-9 Open Threads. Propaganda–Bah Humbug!
Propaganda is a pet peeve of mine. Most of it in this country is either RWing, or even worse, FRightwing. It is the ages’ old deliberate misuse of psycholinguistics. Robert Kuttner’s American Prospect essay is a very good explanation. He uses the New York Times as an example.

No wonder I hate the word: disingenuous. The Nest is swept clean and Open. Hope everyone is well.
Sure makes one wonder if this was in exchange in finding one of the WaPo reporter’s killers.

How interesting.
I emailed Murphy regarding Yemen & SA a couple years ago, but I just got a canned response.
I get that businesses and people that live nearby are sick of, apparently, feces and urine. But there has to be a middle ground, where we provide porta-potties, at least, and then find them housing before we run in and trash everything.
The CT city I work in, known for its less-than-thriving-residents, has porta-potties set up on some streets. It’s the least we can do for homeless people.
stunned every time.

Lets see over 10 years that 7.68 trillion W/O the annual increase. Bernie wanted to spend 6 trillion over 10 years on We The People. Now cut to 3 trillion and congress says thats to much.
Zoom in if you can
I would add the theocratical BS thats spread as well. America is no longer the country that other countries want to be like. Were a country of greed, the MIC meanwhile the climate,infrastructure, M4A drug pricing etc for its citizens are widely sacrificed so the rich prosper.
if you can look at these in his show or on his Twitter page and then click on it and see it larger, it’s worth it.

these guys are all into NFT, they are excellent photographers, imo.
NFT is weird though to me

If liberals fought as hard for all of the things we need as they fight to boot lefties out!
