Flabbergasted by what Trumper Carlson said about Biden last night

He was ranting about the evils of windmills when he said "Biden plans on issuing an Executive
Order commanding the winds to blow" on windmills. He must think Biden graduated with honors
from Hogwarts.

And the real shame is besides being an obvious lie, his viewers will be spreading this disinformation
around on social media as proof that Biden is (fill-in), plus they'll make TOONS of it.

I taped Carlson & Hannity last night to see what the enemy was saying about yesterday's hearing,
neither said one word about the hearings although Hannity had what appeared to be a drunk
guest belittling the Judge for several minutes who was a focus of yesterday's hearing.

They're just a little slow on the uptake, but here's where this goes, once they figure it out: Biden is pro-cancer. Duh. From his grave, Hugo Chavez pulling all the strings.

Or, maybe in this case, jesting with windmills.

Who could take this seriously?

But, if Carlson believes that Biden has such powers, does that mean that Trump is no longer "The Chosen One"?

I get up at stupid o'clock and at 6 I check out Fox & Fiends to find out what they deem important. As water carriers for the traitorous GOP they pump, as of late; inflation, the border, guns and little else.

They are really pushing inflation and gas prices but instead of pointing outthe real reasons it is costing everyone an arm and a leg for everything (Covid, war, price gouging) they blame it on Pres. Biden saying that he wants high gas so everybody will buy electric cars.

Unfortunately most people, including people that do not watch much news at all, will not vote come the mid-terms. Many viewers of Fox are angry enough and motivated enough to go to the polls and vote GOP.

We have a rough road ahead of us but thankfully there are way more of us than them. We need to get out and encourage more sane people to vote in November and finally euthanize the Republican party.

They have no answer other than 'his policies'. Ask 'what policies?' They have no idea.

is by recording them on the DVR which allows me to discover the topic they're on and then fast forward
to the next one. Takes about 5 minutes or less to watch a hour program, pure luck I landed on his
Biden/windmill quote.

lack intelligence. I would wager that all of them at some point in their education were part of a debate team that consistently "won" their debates. They probably passed persuasive speech with excellent ratings. They also learned of the power that propaganda has in influencing the "open", "available", "susceptible", easily influenced minds that they reach out to with every broadcast.

They've found a means to use their naturally quick or fast speech and thinking processes for profit. Modern day Joe Isuzu's.

POISON.

I know I've boasted about this before...that our cable provider dropped fox-seditious network from the line up...but I am so grateful and giddy, I can hardly stand being around myself.

I know, "You don't HAVE TO watch it," but I'm too undisciplined to ignore them on my own.

They are the virus that infects the political social order of today.

I have no doubt that a majority of Tucker's viewers will actually think that Biden is going to make an executive order for the wind to blow. Then they will make jokes about how stupid Biden is. Right wingers truly are morons.
I overheard a wing-nut the other day telling her friend that the reason gas prices are so high is because Biden has banned all oil production in the United States so that we are forced to rely on Saudi Arabian and Venezuela. Why would he do that? Who knows? But right wingers love to make up crap about Democrats wanting America to fail.

I'm sure some do, my gut feeling is the majority are simply repeating the crap they hear from FQX noise,
Alex Jones and the like. Long term strategy for our party should be to require a "critical thinking skills"
class for Junior & High Schools plus College. Not only would it give this Country better Scientists and
Engineers, they would be equipped to recognize BS when they hear it, which is all that Rs have left.
