One of my dearest siblings messaged me with a post she had seen. So, here we go.
You know, this is one of the reasons I am happy as a worm in a bowl of fresh apples because I'm a skeptic, atheist, and all around wonderful person. I see something like this and red flags pop up all over. I then immediately go into critical research mode and within seconds I have the story.
The Internet/social media is indeed a rickety bridge over raging waters.
I consider things like this the same as gossip mongers....and call them the scum that is lower than whale shit.....it is pulled from the feces of a persons mind and fed to those that would take big doses just so they can spew out their own hate, and evil. People with great empty holes that can't seem to do enough evil to fill that hole.
I would not be too happy, the people who put out these false stories do so , knowing full well that the vast majority are not going to check them, that a lot of them are going to pass them on, and that bad associations will be planted in the minds of many on the fringe, even though they may be sceptical about the literal truth of them. They know that they can do a lot of damage even if proved wrong.
repugs are scared of her.
Telling a lie is a typical repug campaign tactic.
Like saying that the New Green Deal means that you can't eat hamburgers anymore.
I keep hearing conservatives saying that she's unpopular.and has a bad approval rating.
If she does, it's because repugs lie about her so much.
Their demonizing has started because they're scared of her running for 'higher' office.
repugs attack on HJillary lasted for years and taers.
benghazi. e-mails. The right-wing bastards are still spouting such shit.
Oh for fuck sake. White conservative males are so scared of this woman it warms me to my toes! I sure do like AOC.
@Bobby9 From the likes of fucker carlson, hannity and many of the elected officials in WA DC. Plus my own personal experience.
Many men do not like a woman they can not control. You might not be one of them, I don't know you. It is not just men - I have known women you will throw a sister under the bus if another woman appears to be a threat.
@Bobby9 I do not listen to fox pundits. Like I said I do not know your experience but there is NO reason for you to claim I am stretching reality when I state I have known men that are intimidated by a strong woman. trump is terrified of a strong woman, yes he will court them but he does not like them and he fears them. If you read his nieces book it is clear. and according to Stormy he has a small dick.
What may appear to be a show of bravado is simply a cover for fear and or loathing.
@Bobby9 I'll take your word for it that you don't know any conservatives that fear and hate AOC. I'll take @silverotter 11 word that she does.
@Bobby9 Good for you, but that's just you.
@Bobby9 I'd say hate would be a more precise word than fear, but that's IMO.
@Bobby9 Another OFFS moment. I have seen or listened to the fox pundits in the past. I do not make it a habit. Again you insist on the attack mode of comment. Good for you that you live among men who don't fear a strong intelligent female. I am SO happy your existence is shelter from such males. My experience is different.
@Bobby9 Oh For Fuck Sake. Experience can sometimes make one prejudice. It can also teach one what to look for. I have experienced what I've said.
What the hell are you? LMAO You changed it back & it's right above for everyone to read! Right here it is:
@silverotter11 If you listen to any of those fools you deserve to be fooled.
I repeat, I know many, in fact very many white conservative males. Actually that would describe virtually the entire county I live in. Not one of any of the white conservative males I know ever even hinted being concerned, no less scared of AOC. Actually she is mostly viewed as an abboration.
You are stretching reality.
My comment was that it's no damn surprise that you & your conservative peers would consider a strong, intelligent woman to be an aberration. I bet you a damn dollar that after I post this you will alter or delete it again!
“They tell lies because the truth is not on their side”!! Yep, that is the repub MO!
at this moment in time lies are all republicans have....
But they still a 'trump' up their sleeve but haven't yet realised that the 'trump' is nothing more than a sick joke-r....LOL.
at this moment in time lies are all republicans have....
Looks like it might be a block wall.
I automatically take everything I see, read, hear, or that comes to me in some other fashion as garbage until I find it several times in the foreign press. There is going to be so much stuff that is false in the next 80 days that I listen to nothing.
I read several foreign news sites on a daily basis to get my news.
I find that reading foreign news gives me more information as to what is actually going on in this Country than I get from our own news media!!
Agreed, I've started using this site to see how many cross-referenced articles are posted on a particular subject and which political leaning the writer has in their message.
It is interesting to read multiple articles on the same subject and how political ideology slants the narrative.
It's a shame with the Internet available that some people are too lazy to find out if what they are reading is verifiable fact. or just some more trumpian b***.
if it fits their narrative its the truth
@Redneckliberal How well i Know.
I LOVE Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.
I am with you, Kathleen. I hope she runs for president some day.
AOC scares the shit out of all those old, white men.
To which I say, GOOD!!!
They only tell the worst lies about those they fear most.
No it is because AOC is a dingbat and ideologue who knows jack shit about anything she talks about unless you need a drink recipe, of course
@Heavykevy1985 She's no "dingbat", and she's smarter than you.
@Fred_Snerd That's some seriously messed up editing.
You know, no one has to cut and splice, and take anything he says out of context, to
prove he's a piece of shit. All they have to do is roll that beautiful bean footage.
Truck Fump
@Heavykevy1985 bless your little heart! she graduated cum laude from university with a double major...what have you done?
@Fred_Snerd Whatever that's supposed to mean.
@Heavykevy1985 Republicans loathe AOC like almost no one ever before. Their hatred for her is is so intense that the only conclusion I can reach is she must be something right.
@Fred_Snerd I've never said Pelosi or any other democrat is perfect, but given the alternatives, she's better than the best the gop can muster.
@Heavykevy1985 suffice to say she is infinitely smarter and unequivocally much more accomplished than you, what have you accomplished, did you graduate with two majors in International Relations and Economics cum laude? By the idiocy reflected in your comment, you obviously and painfully didn't, so I would suggest you shut the fuck up until you do something that is even remotely comparable, and this includes the asshole Trump too!
Talking shit about a college educated woman in power who happened to do a working class job? Your insecurities and classism are showing. Grow up! She has power you never will! Die mad about it! @HeavyKevy1985
@Heavykevy1985 suffice to say she is infinitely smarter and unequivocally much more accomplished than you, what have you accomplished, did you graduate with two majors in International Relations and Economics cum laude? By the idiocy reflected in your comment, you obviously and painfully didn't, so I would suggest you shut the fuck up until you do something that is even remotely comparable, and this includes the asshole Trump too! Had to post this again.
@KKGator measuring how? She is the one that said “climate change is our WWII,” or “the world will end in 12 years,” or a little ditty about eliminating cow farts
@KKGator, @Healthydoc70 so? Before she got into congress, the best she could do was work as a part-time bartender. Who cares? Say what you want about Trump but he was responsible for developing a lot of New York and he owns a multi-billion dollar. Also, he won the presidency in probably the greatest political upset of all time. Besides, she best fulfills a minority quota.
@Heavykevy1985 Wow. Drunk on the koolaid, I see.
Just so you know, 45 has never been anything but a lying con man.
He's ripped off so many people, he's been sued nearly 3000 times, and has had to settle almost all cases. That's why he has such a fondness for NDAs.
Also, why is he still fighting to hide his taxes?
He has always been an extremely crooked man.
If he hadn't had his daddy's money, he'd probably be doing time.
He is NOT who you think he is.
Btw, he didn't "pull off the biggest political upset in history".
He gamed the system, for which there is ample proof.
Just because you got conned, don't think everyone else has.
As far as AOC goes, you really don't have a freakin' clue.
Just out of curiosity, you aren't one of those incel guys, are you??
@Heavykevy1985 that the best you can do.? He cheated and lied and who knows what else he did to try and rig the election. and still lost by 3 million votes. He is a sexual predator, a supreme racist, probably a rapist. Just the name Epstein and Ailes ought to light up your 3 brain cells. the creature is a shit eating POS. And who cares what you say or what trump says. You have no credibility and are unworthy of comment. Go climb back under your rock.
@Healthydoc70 bless you, sir. You make me laugh. He don’t need to win the popular vote; he won the electoral college and that’s what counts
@Healthydoc70, @KKGator the only gaming that was happening were the Clintons and the DNC. Remember the Podesta Emails?
She would never be that stupid. Internet is a putrid place full of lies, hoax, fishing, etc...
What I look for on the Internet is dependable sites that largely agree with each other. If someone like Qaon is way out on with a news story and nobody else agrees with them, I write it off as fiction.
Sadly there are too many people who take it as "it is written, therefore it is."
@LimitedLight Plagiarism, word by word, is a dead give away something isn't kosher.
Sniff. Nobody ever wants to plagiarize me.
