Republicans BUSTED in BIGGEST Scam Yet - Meidas Touch

[Rhiannon12866]

For days, Republicans have pushed a false story about veterans being kicked out of a New York hotel to make room for migrants. Now, the story has been proven to be a complete and total lie. Fred Wellman, host of 'On Democracy with FPWellman' podcast, and a US Army Veteran, reports.

1. We know that lying is their MO.

What should happen is picketing, boycotting and shining a light on FNC for monetizing these lies for their own gain to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Lying has become a weaponized virus.

2. Just hold on to your hat....

AI is going to expand lying/disinformation by the right wing assholes to levels that we couldn't have imagined a year ago. All ok'ed by the Supreme Court as 'free speech'.

4. Trusted sources become super important. Cons & Qs & magats will trust bogus sources w poor results

Conservatives, magats and Q nuts will get terrible results by trusting bogus sources. They will believe more and more outlandish lies and will get farther and farther separated from reality. They will become more extreme and make less sense than they ever did, as time goes by. Their predictions will become even less accurate.

Thus their wing of the Republiconner party will become ever more extreme and ever less attractive to ordinary people and to decent Republicans.


Decent Republicans do exist in large number and they must not be ignored. Unless the goal is to split the country.

For me, the goal is not to split the country. It is to split the Republican Party into a small party of decent people and another small republiQONNED party of magats, super-cons, and Q-a-ninnies.

5. Divide and conquer.

You're right about the repubs becoming more extreme. The MSM normalizing them is so fucked up. It's getting worse. CNN imitating faux news is is just the latest example when right wing billionaires get control of news outlets.

6. Yes, MSM must stop pandering to CONNERs, if they want to continue to be trusted. . . . nt

7. Lying has become mainstream, thanks to TFG - now they all do it with no reservations

I still remember when a new president promised the country that he would never lie to the American people on taking office. That president was Jimmy Carter and that statement completely backfired on him since, from then on, journalists looked for any hint of untruth in every statement he made.

10. I recall in my early thirties that I made a list of qualities I was looking for in a male partner.

At the top of the list was honesty. That's because dishonesty seemed to be a common trait of eligible bachelors. 2nd on the list was a sense of humor. Looks were somewhere on the list, but not near the top. I still feel honesty is the vital attribute for a healthy relationship.

11. I certainly feel the same way, who would want to put up with a serial liar??

And what is a life without humor?? This could be why Jimmy Carter has had a solid marriage for 76 years(!), while TFG can't seem to hang onto one wife...

9. Good Grief, and this RW hoax has made it's way Upstate as well

At a recent local meeting it was suggested welcoming migrants into the community since the population has dropped and local jobs are extremely hard to fill. Several locals who have experience working with migrants stepped up to lead this effort. But there were immediate objections for the usual reasons, that they'd be "overrun" and lead to increased crime. So discussion of this humanitarian effort has been tabled until the next meeting.

However, yesterday's local paper had news of this hoax right on the front page. It remains to be seen whether those objecting to welcoming migrants here Upstate will have read it. *sigh*
