Media Ignores Biden's Speech

Check it out.

CNN On Main Page Biden's plea to save democracy faces a harsh reality and its mostly about Trump

NBC Not on Main Page. [link:http://nbcnews.com| On Opnion Page 20th story down

ABC On main page [link:https://abcnews.go.com/| but third article in Politics sub section after major article on Trump

CBS [link:http://cbsnews.com| Third article under More Top Stories and of all the major network articles it was the best.

So if we Democrats think that the major news networks are going to help us save Democracy and prevent fascism, here is your answer.

Trump is just a foil protecting the evil Republican Party

It is too late now. Since 2016, the media has focused on Donald Trump. How he took over a pure and pristine political party of good American conservatives. The good people of this Party, the stories goes will return to their senses and reject this evil pretender to the thrown. Just wait. The pivot is coming.

Nothing.

After these many years. the December 18 Quinnipiac poll shows that over 84% of all Republicans approve of Donald Trump. [link:https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/favorability/donald-trump/|

The Republican Party is evil. They are historically corrupt, historically racist and historically anti-democratic. How would things have been different if Ted Cruz had been elected?

Even the most Democratic leaning talk shows are filled with former Republican operatives who predict the Everett Dirksen Republicans of old will soon return to power when the Party rejects Trump. Return to what? These are the same people who built this monster giving hope that somehow, someway the Republican Party will return to something it never was?

The First Amendment is not just a right. It imposes a responsibility for the press to protect us by reporting the truth. Where are the voices? Where is the accountability? How can a Democracy with a free press have a majority of the members of one of it two political parties support racism, sedition, treason and the elimination of our Democracy and not be challenged by our press.

Does anyone know why over 800,000 Americans died unnecessarily from Covid?

Haven't heard much about this. You know we have the "best" health care system in the world but had 4 times the average deaths per capita of other nations in the world. Heard a lot about January 6th and top secret documents but seems like the U N N E C E S S A R Y D E A T H OF 800,000 of mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers in a cruel and painful manner mostly alone in a hospital bed might be worthy of some kind of media attention.

Maga voters who falsely stated on a firearms application that they were not addicts

Let's have some equal justice for all here DOJ should indict all who have falsely stated on a federal firearms application that they were not addicted to any narcotics when they bought a firearm and they were. What percentage of these people would you think would be Republicans vs Democrats?

If only we can get Republican legislation passed that prevents those convicted of a federal crime from voting. We would win by a landslide in 2024.

Joe Biden Better at Real Estate than Trump Sing it loud.

When I heard Republican's say that the smoking gun to impeach Biden was that there was no way that Biden could have the real estate assets he has without getting illegal foreign money.

Was curious about this bizarre claim and found this article from Forbes. Wow, Joe Biden is a great real estate investor. Took risks. Leveraged his investments. Bought some great undervalued real estate that has really appreciated. Glad to know there is a political leader that knows how to make money in real estate.

What is this God that Pence worships?

[link:https://www.rawstory.com/hang-mike-pence/|

In my opinion, the people behind the movement of 2016 and 2020 are Republicans, who are and have been anti-government (Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem. - Reagan) voters, wrapping themselves in the conservative flag to hide their racism. The modern Republican Party was born out of the movement of Southern racists from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party triggered by the passage of the Voting and Civil Rights Acts of the 60.s. They should be God fearing and hope, the God they fear does not exist.

So why is Brad Raffensperger on Putin's Sanctioned Americans List?

Maybe because Donald Trump is a seditious traitor Russian agent that Putin wants to help win the Presidency.

Trump is wrong about 5th Avenue

It is not that if he shot someone on 5th Avenue his voters would support his corrupt, racist, sexists, anti-government, seditious self. It is if HE was shot (Not advocating any violence here) his supporters would still support corruption, racism, sexism, anti-government sedition.
