DC Tom Posted December 8, 2016 Author Posted December 8, 2016 Clinton speaking on the Hill about Reid and Glenn... wearing purple again. Stay woke. Reid's dead too?
Deranged Rhino Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 Reid's dead too? He's getting his portrait done... so one step in the grave.
DC Tom Posted December 8, 2016 Author Posted December 8, 2016 He's getting his portrait done... so one step in the grave. Except that, knowing Reid, he's probably having it done by Basil Hallward.

No I spend a lot of time talking to and watching people. They are the party of the people.
DC Tom Posted December 9, 2016 Author Posted December 9, 2016 http://www.mediaite.com/tv/hillary-clinton-fake-news-is-a-danger-that-must-be-addressed/ Clinton did not directly address the election, but railed against the “epidemic of malicious fake news and false propaganda that flooded social media over the past year” and called for action to be taken: “It’s a danger that must be addressed, and addressed quickly. Bipartisan legislation is making its way through Congress to boost the government’s response to foreign propaganda, and Silicon Valley is starting to grapple with the challenge and threat of fake news.” 1) "Bimbo Eruptions" and "Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet." Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? 2) Sure...let's give Donald !@#$ing Trump that authority.
B-Man Posted December 9, 2016 Posted December 9, 2016 Democrats threaten a brief, pointless government shutdown Senate Democrats are preparing to force a brief, pointless government shutdown this weekend, the first evidence of their newly acquired taste for obstructionism. Senate Democrats are demanding Republican re-negotiate a bill which would extend health insurance for miners. However, members of the House are already on their way out of town meaning the time for negotiating is over. From Politico: Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) and Sherrod Brown (Ohio), two senators up for reelection in 2018 from states won by Donald Trump, are leading the charge to get a better deal from Republican leaders, a drive that’s resonating with the rest of the 46-member Democratic caucus. But Republicans say they will not renegotiate a four-month extension of coal miner health benefits and that Democrats have lost all leverage after the House passed the spending bill, 326-96, and then promptly left town… “A lot of our members feel extremely strongly about miners,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), the incoming Democratic leader next year. Asked how they can negotiate with the House already done for the year, Schumer said: “That’s all I’m saying.” The reason Schumer isn’t saying more is because what Democrats are doing makes no sense except when viewed as a tantrum. In order to keep the government running without interruption, the Senate needs unanimous consent to vote on the bill by this Friday but that would require cooperation from Senate Democrats. The Washington Post reports:

B-Man Posted December 9, 2016 Posted December 9, 2016 You know, a couple of days ago, Senator Schumer was literally across the street from my office giving a speech at our local WNY firehouse. I had some pencils to sharpen, so I didn't make it over there,

The purple revolution is trying its best. Censorship is the end game with the whole "fake news" gambit. Can't have anyone thinking critically about the narrative being peddled from the State Department, think of the children.
Deranged Rhino Posted December 9, 2016 Posted December 9, 2016 A Clinton Fan Manufactured Fake News That MSNBC Personalities Spread to Discredit WikiLeaks Docs Now we have an even more compelling example. Back in October, when WikiLeaks was releasing emails from the John Podesta archive, Clinton campaign officials and their media spokespeople adopted a strategy of outright lying to the public, claiming – with no basis whatsoever – that the emails were doctored or fabricated and thus should be ignored. That lie – and that is what it was: a claim made with knowledge of its falsity or reckless disregard for its truth – was most aggressively amplified by MSNBC personalities such as Joy Ann Reid and Malcolm Nance, The Atlantic’s David Frum, and Newsweek’s Kurt Eichenwald. That the emails in the Wikileaks archive were doctored or faked – and thus should be disregarded – was classic Fake News, spread not by Macedonian teenagers or Kremlin operatives but by established news outlets such as MSNBC, the Atlantic and Newsweek. And, by design, this Fake News spread like wildfire all over the internet, hungrily clicked and shared by tens of thousands of people eager to believe it was true. As a result of this deliberate disinformation campaign, anyone reporting on the contents of the emails was instantly met with claims that the documents in the archive had been proven fake. (snip) Sadly for Chacon, however, the people who ended up getting fooled by his Fake News items were the nation’s most prominent Clinton supporters, including supposed experts and journalists from MSNBC who used his obvious fakes to try to convince the world that the WikiLeaks archive had been compromised and thus should be ignored. That it was pro-Clinton journalists who spread his Fake News as real now horrifies even Chacon (snip) But the problem here goes way beyond mere hypocrisy. Complaints about Fake News are typically accompanied by calls for “solutions” that involve censorship and suppression, either by the government or tech giants such as Facebook. But until there is a clear definition of “Fake News,” and until it’s recognized that Fake News is being aggressively spread by the very people most loudly complaining about it, the dangers posed by these solutions will be at least as great as the problem itself.

January of 2011 2 months after the 2010 shellacking of congressional (and State) democrats See the parallels? http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/10/opinion/10krugman.html … It's also undefined and nebulous enough to be applied to anything that runs counter to the State Department's narrative. Kinda like the war on terror was and has been intentionally stretched to cover any criminal act in order to expand the government's reach. Censorship is where this tale ends if the MSM and left have their say -- which you'd think most writers and journalists in the MSM would be against considering it's the way they put food on the table. You'd also assume most on the left who are so panicked about Trump taking over would want to limit the government's ability to censor dissenting views. But nah. They're following the Queen's orders. The purple revolution will not be deterred, logic be damned.
IDBillzFan Posted December 9, 2016 Posted December 9, 2016 Did you guys know that the government is likely to shut down tonight because the Dems are holding things up? Me neither. Sheesh, I'm old enough to remember the days when the media ran giant doomsday countdown timers on their websites, predicting all the holy hell that would come if the GOP didn't get in line. Times sure have changed.

Sheesh, I'm old enough to remember the days when the media ran giant doomsday countdown timers on their websites, predicting all the holy hell that would come if the GOP didn't get in line. Times sure have changed. I don't think anyone's taking it seriously. Usually government contractors would have been notified by now with "What to do" emails, but that hasn't happened. There's no doomsday clocks, too, because the Dems just decided to pull this stunt yesterday. Edit: One reason no one's taking it too seriously is that it's not the Senate Democratic leadership pulling this stunt, just a quartet of schmucks from coal country. It doesn't even involve the House Democrats, which is where (the House) "government shutdowns" usually originate. Edited December 9, 2016 by DC Tom
