(9,090 posts)getting our asses kicked. their leadership lives in cities and has no clue.
yeah, it's been completely ignored except for stoprush and a few media watch efforts that usually concentrated on outrageous hate by limbaugh or hannity and completelly missed the propaganada value unchallenged coordinated repetition from 1500 radio stations.
at $1000/hr x 15 hrs/day x 1200 radio stations it's been worth aabout $5BIL FREE to them every fucking year while the left ignores it and whines about money in politics.
rich men have always tried to subvert democracy but they really hit paydirt in 1987 when reaagan killed the fairness doctrine and the left/dems totally ignored it and couldn't do that simple math and believed that RW free speech and market demand bullshit about 95% of americans preferring the hate lies and stupidity. leadership, living in cities, have had no fucking clue why we get our asses kicked year after year, and continue to waste our efforts and donations.
we let good citizens liberals and dems get trashed repeatedly and swiftboated from those stations all day with no response or challenge from their so called supporters
today limbaugh started the day at 12 est declaring the whole russia colllusion was just proven to be a hoax and inciting new atacks on and shiff and obama for trying to delete a legal election etc, and then trump comes out basically calliing them traitors. so i can't find exactly when that JD filing /news came out excecpt it looks llike after limbaugh started using it at the beginning of his show- so will anyone make a connection, i doubt it. neither has russian influence of talk radio been even considered.
it's been ignored, it's been destroying democracy, and the left blames symptoms - the biggest political mistake in history

(111,245 posts)over some kind of tacky behavior. Since the GOP Secretary of the Senate won't release the complaint, we're not going to know for sure what the complaint really was. We do know it didn't interfere with his vetting for VP, so it certainly didn't rise to the criminal level she now alleges.

(5,969 posts)after the same smears against Mueller, Pete, Warren and Harris.
With every new stunt, I always ask the same question: How the fuck is this legal? Nothing ever happens to Wohl or the person who made the claims. If there is no doubt that a claim about a crime was fabricated, people should get punished. Weren't there prominent wrong claims about attacks and assaults in the last years that got prosecuted?

Donald Segretti - Wikipedia
A former military prosecutor and civil lawyer, Segretti ran a campaign of political sabotage against the Democrats for Nixon's reelection effort. In 1974, he served 4 1/2 months in prison after pleading guilty to three misdemeanor counts of distributing illegal campaign literature, including a letter falsely claiming that former senator Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson had fathered an illegitimate child with a 17-year-old girl.
Segretti briefly threw his hat into the ring as a candidate for Superior Court judge in Orange County, Calif., in 1995 but withdrew after a week, saying the shadow of Watergate hung over the campaign. "It was supposed to be a low-key campaign and a non-partisan office," Segretti said. "But it wasn't treated that way."

(2,657 posts)While I think overall that men tend to lie about 10 times as often as women, there are a few women out there who have no problem lying and are the female equivalent of Donald Trump. Examples include KellyAnne Conway, as well as current and previous Republican Press Secretaries Kayleigh Mcenany, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Dana Perino.

(21,130 posts)Why didnt she speak out during the primary? Why now? this woman is compromised and someone is paying her. I believe Biden and I am a woman. I personally have been sexually harassed and all the times I heard her speak I heard no pain but BS accusations that dont pass the smell test.

No men came forward against Dr. Birx, claiming to be bound and gagged by her many scarves?
I've barely paid attention to the Tara Reade story, to be honest. All it took was a DU thread from weeks ago, exposing her past behavior and inconsistencies in the claims, and I dropped it from consideration.

(57,393 posts)She Said Anthony Fauci Sexually Assaulted Her. Now She Says Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman Paid Her to Lie.
After failing to frame Robert Mueller, Elizabeth Warren, and others for sexual misconduct, the infamous Trumpster hoaxers tried to go after Fauci. But the woman they hired to play the victim had second thoughts.
