Orwell..where art thou?

[Bobbygun]

One way or another there will be lot of unhappy people.

Not gonna let anything kill my buzz. The Yankees lost the World Series in possibly the most painful way (yeah, I'm a huge Red Sox fan) and it was just announced that Bob Costas will no longer be doing Major League Baseball play-by-play. Life is good. 2024 is a VERY good year!

Well, reading the responses its clear I utterly failed in making my point. Again, its not about the election..or Trump..or Harris..or Biden..or Cheney, or garbage.

Its about us as a nation being told the truth..by our 'free' press..whichever ideological direction that may benefit..or disparage.

But yeah, Im done too.

That whole thing had more red flags then a parade in Beijing

Good point. I should clarify that I wasn't attacking Biden for calling Trump supporters trash, so much as I was attacking the media and the White House spin doctors for trying to make it seem like he hadn't. Adding that apostrophe was a painful stretch.

Yeah, I get it. It is hard to make an unrelated point when the country is so divided and entrenched. The "who" is irrelevant. The doing is what is effed up. The 24 hour news cycle was the death of actual news.

I don't believe everything I am told why should the news be any different. I take what I hear and compare it to what I think I know and what sources I trust and formulate my own opinion. Kind of like what is posted on this board sometimes. Sometimes I learn something new.

When it comes to serving in our military what credibility does captain bonespur have? What does he know about facing the enemy?

 

[Rkangel]

Unfortunately everything has been politicized. It's no longer truth vs. lies. It's now "your truth" vs. "my truth"... Ignore the lies until the delusions becomes real and tell a lie often enough that it is seen as truth.

Discernment is dying from atrophy.

 

[Certaindeaf]

Listen to a tape recorder if you want an exact repeat of what he said. I have made my own mind up based on his words. To me how and what he stated is offensive to me. I am done but I disagree with your position we will soon see what the rest of the country thinks and honestly I don't know which candidate will win.

Apostrodasting!

WE WERE!

The 1984 Orwell is a little-known revolver chambered in .666. It is extremely rare. So don't bother looking it up, and so on and so forth.

Why would I lie?

Well, Ahhh, hmmm, ohh. OH LOOK! this is the "OFF TOPIC" FORUM Milton. Try one of the others, if this one doesn't suit you.

 

[DB is Here]

What I've learned today:

All politicians lie. The real problem is they want us in separate tribes, as they divide and conquer, hiding what they've all done.

If we, the Citizenry ever woke up and realize it's us against them they'd straighten up or face the business end of a pitchfork.

That is all.

Indeed, the fallacious arguments that i see consistently raised are from individuals who are quick to jump in the pile.

I woke this morning and, as usual, glanced at Drudge's homepage.

Seriously??? And you wonder why the news you consume is garbage?

 

[Knobgoblin]

Seriously??? And you wonder why the news you consume is garbage?

To be fair, almost all " news" is garbage.

 

[Indy62]

Seriously??? And you wonder why the news you consume is garbage?

Any good reccomendation? Whats your go-to morning wake up news source?

 

[P7M13]

Both sides would be well served to just shut up for the next 5 days.

And stop calling.


I haven't trusted the news for decades.
