"Appalachia don't give a f******* about TAMPONS after a HURRICANE!"

[butters]

where's that 'I'm not a dem or a rep but I trust our governor, desantis" twit who denies Harris called desantis?
is he calling his own governor a liar? yes, yes he is!

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis reportedly avoided calls from vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris related to the federal government's involvement in the aftermath of hurricane Helene.

The refusal by DeSantis was politically motivated, according to NBC, as the governor claimed Harris' calls "seemed political." He's also quoted by the outlet as saying that the federal government should focus on North Carolina. "Florida, we have it handled," DeSantis said. "We have what we need."

as for all the debris left uncleared in Tampa, desantis blames local gov't slow response despite sending so many resources out of Florida to help others that then had to be called back for his own state's needs.

I wouldn't let Ted Cruz cat-sit my cats, let alone my granddaughters.

Name a politician you would let babysit your granddaughters...
...I'll wait.

Crazy racist fascist conspiracy nut Chloe making something up and pretending it’s real. CRFCNC has no grip on reality.

LOL. MSNBC. Madcow got off because it's entertainment, not new. LOL You guys watch entertainment that feeds your left wing totalitarian extremist fantasies.

Enough said. It's always the left that goes full whackjob. It's so annoying having to deal with you people every generation or so....hard on the helicopter engines too

Yes, like believing political parties are manipulating hurricanes to wipe out their political opposition's ability to vote in elections

I love that one. Almost as good as Jewish Space Lasers. I wish I'd come up with that one. I mean, Haitians eating little puppies is good, but a bit to realistic considering my relations back in China likely do. Puke.

But Jewish Space Lasers is classic. Almost believable, far more so than Hillary being a Martian Lizard person where all we have to do is skin her to uncover the lizard beneath.....although that said, we should probably flay her to disprove the theory

As funny as you may seem to think this is, we have members of Congress spreading these conspiracy theories as truth...openly.

Dipshits openly suggesting that cloud seeding is evidence of hurricane manipulation. bB had a thread earlier suggesting that it was a deliberate action to cheat in this election.

He's being serious

 

[YDB95]

That's just you missing the entire point of it.

I got your point just fine. Here as everywhere, it is that Republican talking points must be propped up at all costs.

Well, being serious for a few minutes, if you go back maybe fifty or sixty years, the news media was trusted, they were more or less honest, more or less reported the facts, and the guys like Walter Kronkite were respected by everyone. The ones like Walter Winchell maybe less so, but thats going back a ways. Today, the MSM spreads lies and disinformation, misreports and not only misreports, they invent things or they contradict reality.

No surprises then that the only result of the MSM labeling stories as "misinformation" serves to reinforce belief in them.

I'm talking about Congressman willingly spreading lies to their constituents.

Yes, you're focused on the wrong thing

American politicians are not in general known for their superlative intelligence. Venality perhaps, altho as more MAGA politicians are elected, that's changing slowly. That doesn't get them elected. What does is appealing to their voters. One could look across both Democrats and the GOP and identify any number of morons with an IQ that wouldn't boil water. And yet they are elected for term after term.

As for lies, yeah, Democrats and GOP both. Pick the lies that favor your own biases. Confirmation bias. It's a thing. Human nature.

And of course, lies are now relative. The Democrats have made this plain with their "your truth is not my truth" narrative. Truth has become relative, and the attitude has spread from the left to the right. Karma. The left has chosen to change the context of lies, truth and words in general, and now we are all playing that game. Doesn't phase me. I enjoy playing with words. I can do it all day and all night and enjoy it.

Obviously

So how do you define lies. There are so many, and your lie is my truth and vice versa. The media has made lies and truth meaningless and the entire transgender lie is just one very visible elephant-in-the-room sized lie. The Russiagate lie? The Hunter laptop lie? The covid lie? The Insurrection lie? The mostly peaceful protests lie? The Trump is Hitler lie? So many to choose from, and that we would argue about whether they are lies or not just illustrates how far gone into dysfunction our society and culture has traveled.

Nope, it's far far too late to talking about Congresspersons willingly spreading lies to their constituents. That horse is long gone. Now it's all about whose "truth" we can enforce. With their stranglehold on the media, the left had almost achieved that, but Elon Musk buying Twitter changed that game and now the battlefield is a bit more level.

And so the Haitians eat pets meme. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. People will believe or not based on their biases. My own personal cultural background allows me to give rather more credence to it than yours does. And it's a great meme to arouse support for deporting illegals.

Just as the left use the "Trump is Hitler" meme - a complete lie, but one that the left pumps out non-stop. So no bitching about lies, dude. The left has been lying for years. Decades, really. It's what the left do. Lie, twist the truth, change the meanings of words. So don't be whining and whimpering when we catch up with you. LOL. The whole idea is to keep throwing shit until you find something that gells and sticks.

Haitians eat puppies and kittens!!!!!! LOL. Is it truth? Is it a lie? Doesn't matter. Millions of people believe it now. Two thirds of the US want to deport ALL illegals. Especially the ones that eat puppies and cats.

Veni. Meme me creavit. Vici.

Playing into demeaning racial stereotypes is wrong. I know this and Chloe knows this. She’s doing it here because she knows the quickest way to find favor when you’re a minority is to find someone else who is also a minority and demean them to draw attention away from yourself. Had this story been told differently she, identifying as Asian, could’ve easily been sharing her family’s prized recipe for kitten a l’orange.

Yes, I get that you're not only are fine with lies but actively participate in them no matter what the consequences are...whether that be putting people in harms way or not accepting valid election results because they believe in stupid shit.
