PolitiPorn: Our Most Unhealthy Addiction to this Vile Political Reality Show
(Mattis was the same man who the establishment warned was an out of control lunatic who could very well start a nuclear Armageddon with Russia when Trump tabbed him to become Secretary of Defense. The minute Mattis tendered his resignation letter, the same establishment were driven into a tizzy as they lamented the loss of a “calming voice”.)
Case after case of this has been happening of late. Get out of Syria. Stay in Syria. Bush was a war monger. Hail Bush. Look at the candy he spreads. I mean death. Same as daddy. We lost roughly 10 members as I posted the truth about dear daddy. I don't care! The truth is just to dam hard for some people to learn. To dam hard to live with. To dam hard to have lost someone to it. To dam hard to stand up to it! If I could remember as far back as these 2 years I could probably come up with several more of these flip flops.
(Think about this, the same people who were up in arms over Bush’s illegal and immoral war in Iraq are now openly expressing shock that we are about to pull out of Syria. They are using the same slogans and meaningless catch phrases that neocons used to justify our continued occupation of Iraq. “We can’t cut and run”, they say, as they channel their inner Dick Cheney all because they want to get their daily high of raging against Trump.)
Fear not! This is a set up for the regrowth of the terrorist. They are already rebuilding in Iraq. Now pushed up on the border of Iraq and Syria in small towns and villages, they will be back in force in Syria again also. And once the CIA pulls all the right strings again, their commanders living safely in the US, Canada, and Britain will answer the call to serve the military complex once again. Along with their fortress builders the White Helmets.
(Not to be outdone, the Democrats insist on matching the irrationality of Trump with their own version of hyperbolic duplicity. The fraudulence of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and their ilk on their side of the aisle makes Enron look like the Cub Scouts in comparison. Democrats have perfected the art of pretending to care about pressing issues of inequality and justice when they have no power only to rush into the waiting arms of their corporate benefactors the minute they gain either the gavel or the White House. They are so bereft of ideas these days that the only way they can maintain the deadenders who remain in their party is by fear mongering and pretending to be against Trump.)
There's that 1-2 punch I haven't posted in a while. Newish here? I give you Caitlin Johnstone.

Being involved in political discussions has become so tiring for me. The utter ignorance is astounding.

This article has HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD....
2 QUOTES ( from many) took my interest.... "" It is fitting really, the fact that we have a reality show clown as the titular head of our nation is a perfect encapsulation of our time. We have become a nation addicted on the pornography that is politics, the back and forth between team red and team blue in Washington DC has become our national narcotic. We are in urgent need of an intervention from this grotesque game of partisanship, the hour by hour developments and the never ending breaking news has turned us into a society of zombies. """"
I suggest that we Ignore all of the news stations.. Until they start broadcasting with some common sense.
Here is the second excerpt from the article that caught my eye: "" Instead of holding people in power accountable, we use news as fodder for entertainment. The incoherence of Trump and the duplicity of the Democrats is akin to ingested Molly that drives us into delirium as we sway back and forth between outrage and adoration. Jim Jones and David Koresh would be envious at the abundance of faith too many Americans have invested in their political idols, this level of obsequiousness has warped common sense.
There are no consistencies to be found other than the reliability of hypocrisy on all sides, yesterday evening General James “Mad Dog” Mattis resigned only for the political parrots to go into hyper drive. Mattis was the same man who the establishment warned was an out of control lunatic who could very well start a nuclear Armageddon with Russia when Trump tabbed him to become Secretary of Defense. The minute Mattis tendered his resignation letter, the same establishment were driven into a tizzy as they lamented the loss of a “calming voice”. This is what mainstream media does, they are not reporting news as much as they are ginning up conflict to keep eyeballs fixed to their brand.""""
THIS ARTICLE IS WORTH READING... GIVE IT A TRY..

uh huh, that is priceless!
@William_Mary for sure.. he knows how to write..
I believe we should start ignoring the so called ""news media"" lol
@AmmaRE007 I use to watch MSNBC religiously years ago. Mid 90's Right up to the Iraq war. All the programs are repetitive mode, each covering the very same thing for like 4 hours. Maddow did cover other stuff than the shows before her. And Joe Scarborough gave me the hard right tick. Back when I first came to know Common Dreams online. I was confused how the comments section at CD would attack both republicans and democrats over the issues. Well, before shock and awe, I remember the polls being quite low for the war, 30+% ?. Then the next morning after it started, it was near 70%. It was kind of like a light went off in my brain. Then I found Truthout. I never went back to main stream media after that. However. To keep my bullshit meter tuned I listen to NPR 5 days a week as I drive for a living to keep up. I think we can make money on a nationwide school program teaching the difference between online news and main stream media.
@William_Mary I love NPR also.. especially when i'm driving..and on weekends!! (wait wait DON'T tell me)
