And with all the rest of my family now having walked on, I only have my Granddaughter, and I would not want to pass it on to and possibly have he walk on as well. If I go, there is no big loss, I have already lived my life and the world still needs her.
Brilliant - This is what smart republicans produce. Excellent messaging that is clear and to the point. Now their side is left with idiots that give 30 minute interviews to RT.
Brilliant - This is what smart republicans produce.
There are people on both sides of the aisle who often think everyone is the opposing party are idiots. But while some definitely are idiots lol... in both parties...in some cases they might just have a different opinion-- on some issues.(Of course Trump is not one of those-- he definitely a sleaze, a lair, and a really nasty con artist)..
But this is the first time I can remember where where so many people in a party have broken with their party. The number of Republicans who are opposing Trump is YUGE-- and seems to be growing daily.
Yes, and I'm so appreciative of those republicans that have walked away from the poison of Trump and his Administration. It makes it easy to identify the idiots in our country.
The people producing The Lincoln Project videos are really good....
(Perhaps because they seem to have a special skill in going beyond the bullshit, and the attempts by Trump's asskissers and other members of his cult to "win" discussions by their favourite tactic-- the derail.
As a matter a fact, believe it or not, I've even heard rumours that sometimes his sycophants attempt to change the subject by using "Whattaboutisms"s".and other forms of derails even here on NT!
Whattaboutism
noun
BRITISH
The technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counteraccusation or raising a different issue.
"the parliamentary hearing appeared to be an exercise in whataboutism"
So if that is true, it may be a waste of time arguing the facts with these trump clones-- "Mini-Trumps"-- if all they do is twist the truth...and resort to derails by use of the sleazy tactic of "Whattaboutisms".
Rather-- the best thing to do may be to seed more and more of these Lincoln Project videos-- and continue to make comments so they don't disappear from the front page.
Interesting-- I found this on the sleazy and highly manipulative tactic of "Whataboutism" on Wikipedia. So when they use it, they're not only using a tactic they learned from Trump (or his sycopants on Faux News) but guess which propagandists seem to be frequent users of this tactic?

Whataboutism - Wikipedia

* * *
Whataboutism , also known as whataboutery , is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument. [
* * *
Whataboutism is particularly associated with Soviet and Russian propaganda. When criticisms were leveled at the Soviet Union during the Cold War, the Soviet response would often be "What about ..." followed by instancing of an event or situation in the Western world.

So my fellow (and fellowette) Newstalkers-- does this at all sound familia r?

Not sure , but i think there is something in the COC about that , i know it was discussed a few years ago when it became a problem. might want to research or ask someone in charge.
Watching the political "discussions" (which are not real discussions but rather merely arguments...and personal attacks.. I've come to realize that with a few very rare excepsions-- these arguments aren't effective.
But seeding (only) highly effective videos such as those from The Lincoln Project is much more effective than arguing back and forth.
And of equal importance-- people need to comment on them or they quickly "disappear" off the front page.
And if someone from The Trump Worship Cult appears in order to taunt or incire discord-- ignore them.

Agreed Krish. And the vids do state the facts, not a lot of lies and nonsense. And like you say, if they want to rant on and one like zimbots, then one can simply ignore them, as they usually have nothing of any intelligence to offer anyway. Most of them I already have on Ignore.

Trump's Covid-19 Treatment Cost Taxpayer's Millions
Using Experimental drugs you can't have,
(It didn't cost him a dime...)
If you had Covid would take experimental drugs if you could? I doubt it.
Trump is covered...regardless of pre-existing conditions.
Who will take care of you when you get COVID?
I have no one so I am on my own.
You have me. I'll help you if I am able.
Right back at ya sister.
And me too, Paula! I may not be able to do too much physically, but, I can help in many other ways.
Me. There is no one else I would want to pass it on to. And with all the rest of my family now having walked on, I only have my Granddaughter, and I would not want to pass it on to and possibly have he walk on as well. If I go, there is no big loss, I have already lived my life and the world still needs her.
Have you flipped your lid? Never say that again.
Yes'm
I already had it. Yeah, it sucked. Actually, it still sucks in some ways. I think I'll be alright, though.
What?!!!!!

I say this with all due contempt but, "That's Great!"
This one is but one of many they've done.
Here's another-- one of my favs (In Russian! With English sub-titles...)
Very clever!!! (The first time I saw it I watched it three times in a row to catch all the details
FELLOW TRAVELER
Yes-- we've turned a corner indeed!
Excellent!
We're rounding the corner. Wait, how can that be it was a hoax.
Excellent video, right to the point.

.What do people think of that idea?
Not sure , but i think there is something in the COC about that , i know it was discussed a few years ago when it became a problem. might want to research or ask someone in charge.
Thank you for your comment
Pretty much sums it up. Trump got better on medicine that is not afforded to the common man.
I want to do the Capt. Sully vid, but I can't copy and paste it.
There's a code on the Youtube page to share videos to other sites.
Is it this one Paula?
Nor is most, if not all, of it even available to common man.
The vid above is for you Sister, I typed Paula by mistake. I gots mah comments mixed up.
Sounds like a great plan to me. As they say.."There is more than one way......." (can't say the rest....Yoda Girl is looking over my shoulder...
)

That's the one!
No worries. I knew who you meant. Besides, I'll answer to just about anything.
I think you have me confused with sister which is a high compliment.

Indeed I did Paula. I got the comments mixed up and typed the wrong name. And indeed, it is a high compliment to be mistaken for Sister.
Imagine
Yeah. Do it! The Lincoln Project!
