CNN - Everything Democrats do WORKS AGAINST THEM!!!


"But by moving forward to hold Steve Bannon, the architect of Trump's nationalist populism, in criminal contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena, the panel may be providing the mastermind of Trump's blow-it-all-up strategy yet another platform to try to tear down America's institutions."

Don't you SEE????

Bannon is a GENIUS who will use whatever Democrats do to him AGAINST THEM!

INCLUDING ARRESTING HIM!

(unnecessary sarcasm warning here)

So sick of this shit...

My neighbor was saying Democrats need to be more outspoken and take the narrative! I think he is correct. Fighting back is a must or just go home and hide!

No more waving a white flag at the first sign of the enemy resistance.

WE HAVE TO STOP BEING THE NICE GUYS go for the jugular. At least there will be a clear sign we were in the fight.

Capitulating to the RW demoralizes Democratic supporters.

righteous (secular sense) justice angle type analysis.

Is in this case CNN is just glamorizing that which should be condemned, they could be painting Bannon out as the fraud that he is but holding the really rich and powerful to justice is "hard work."

This is just setting up the long game to let Trump and his lieutenants off the hook for insurrection against the U.S. government.

Mega corporations don't have the strongest surface motivation for effective democratic government to exist, keep it weak and divided so the corporations and oligarchs can dominate and monopolize the "consumers" aka; citizens of the United States.

Thanks for the thread orangecrush.

and I’m not sure the OP title is the point CNN is making. I think what they’re saying is that Bannon will fight and attempt politicize the process, and it could take a while. As frustrating as that is, it doesn’t mean the panel shouldn’t do it and it doesn’t mean it’ll work against Democrats. But maybe I’m missing something.

..my blood pressure is right on the edge for tx. I used to have cable news playing in the back ground even when I wasn't actively watching it. I decided that all I need was local news and weather and I can get headlines here and from news feeds.
But that's it..no more Joy, no more Rachael or Ari, no more Morning Joe. If there is REAL breaking news then I will check back in. And I DON'T miss it!


I have fallen in love with TCM and Pluto tv..where they have (amongst other classics) a 24/7 Julia Child Channel (yesterday I made her potato onion/leek soup!)... a Star Trek Channel and a Bob Ross channel.

TV is off all day until we turn on British Streaming services AcornTV and Britbox for evening entertainment.

We have been retired for ten years and we adopted the viewing habits above just about at the same time.

We want to be entertained not lied to.

It is about the whole methodology of how they operate which is infotainment to fill airtime between ads for drugs we never knew we needed. They need the drama, which they create or hype in order to keep your eyes on the screen to fulfill their money making mission.

It isn't about news or public service, it is about profits.

is just unbearable. Why don't we just let things happen as they happen and comment on the ACTUAL outcome then. Meanwhile, it seems to be automatically assumed that Republicans' awfulness is just "baked in", so whatever they do is barely commented on (if at all).

Forget the future of the country, the executives totally miss those great ratings as democracy was falling.
