In reply to the discussion: Is anyone watching C-Span for the Vote on Patriot Act & Freedom Act in Senate....... [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)It's unbelievable how they do all this Double-Speak/Double Dealing while we are left in the Dark for the Most Part trying to get info from sources in the Media that we know are corrupted also.
Our legislation today is like reading a legal agreement where you need to hire your own lawyer to parse language for anything you sign from insurance to banking to buying a car. You can't understand the language because it's written to deceive you and unless you are wealthy or connected enough to hire your own lawyer to protect you you don't even know WTF you are reading or signing.
That's what watching C-Span does. It confuses you and gives one Head Fake as you watch voting that you don't know what it means over bills that are written by lobbyists with special legal teams who write it all to confuse and obfuscate. Then the Senate and House Rules and the rest allow all sorts of shenanigans to take place so you can't even understand what the hell they are voting on with the complicated "Rules & Special Procedures."
It's sickening and I wish I hadn't gotten back involved with all of it. Might as well turn it off and watch the Hacks on MSM tell you what happened than try to be involved or engaged like the CITIZENS we are supposed be doing.
No wonder there is such apathy out there. And, yet those of us who aren't Apathetic are being groomed to join the rest of the "Unengaged" as they do these stunts to keep the voters always on edge along with a willing MSM who just looks for Click Bait to get their ratings up by putting out all kinds of false stories just to keep people guessing how things will go which way or the other.
Whatever...... The UPDATE is the latest news...probably "The Hill" will have other reports.
