These sensationalist nonsense headlines are really tiresome. MT might be the worst about it.

(28,836 posts)It's not your fault that MT tends toward click-bait. Unfortunately, many, if not most, of the monetized sites like that use the same tactics to pull in viewers. Gotta get those ad impressions.
Personally, it tends to make me take them much less seriously, though I also think I'm in the minority on that. They certainly seem popular here. Sensationalism sells.
They also give people false hope, which is probably the biggest issue I have with them. Ron Johnson going to jail is not only not the done deal they insist, it's extraordinarily unlikely. There is zero evidence that anything like that is in the works.

(9,857 posts)Looks to me that the manner for the USA come out a better and sounder nation is to identify and convict the participants in the conspiracy to steal the 2020 POTUS election. Members of Congress; WH and Congress Staff; lawyers, advisors, and fund raisers, and donors knowledgeable of the plan to steal the election need to be firmly prosecuted and jailed. An extremely deep dig at the infection. The guilty need to lose significant assets. The individuals should never hold office or public jobs in the future and be required to register similar to sex criminals.
There are so many like Johnson that came on the scene almost out of the blue. Lots of weird thinking going on to divide people of good intention.
A stronger response than what ended up occurring or not occurring during post Civil War Reconstruction.
Hard to predict what will occur, so much time has been lost and too many have vested interests and don't want to be impacted or associated with the mess.
Some days easy to perceive that Trump is getting his literal can kicked down the road that will only stop when Trump dies.
Too much going on in World now; assholes see their window to gain. Could easily cascade into the unspeakable,
My lifeline is trusting in POTUS Biden

Frustrating that freaks like Johnson can merrily go about their way.

Reality based thinking over sensationalist click bait.
