Even HUD is hyper-partisan now

[LordBrownTrout]

Once again, the left holds america hostage.

It takes a lot to shock me at this point, but this one came pretty close. HUD is the Department of Housing & Urban Development. HUD's current home page:

I know that MAGA will defend this because it speaks their language, but there was a time when federal departments stayed completely out of partisan politics. For obvious reasons. Now, it's just another partisan organization.

Our Founders warned against this kind of division, but We the People evidently just don't care about that any more.

If that banner said "trump shut down the government" would you be as critical of that?

Your side weaponized the government against us.

Your wish that we ignore that, and play by the old rules while you **** us, is denied.

 

[Harry Dresden]

There is no excuse for a department of the United States government to refer to Americans as "radical" Left or Right. None. Zero. Ever. There is no excuse for a department to engage in rhetoric like that.

If a person really can't see that, then they are lost in a myopic ideology. That is weakness, not a strength. That's a lie, not the truth. There is no deflection or trying to change the subject. Any decent adult should be able to admit that.

we get it mac....your shit dont stink....

 

[TemplarKormac]

Bullshit, this is propaganda 101.

Nah. Democrats were upset about shutting the government before they were for it.

I can pull receipts if you like?

NO partisan messages. There never HAS been such messages on department sites.

I thought I had made that simple and clear enough. Evidently not.

What is untrue? The Democrats didn’t vote for the CR, ergo, they are responsible for shutting down the government. I guess you could argue the “radical” part, but the reality is that the Democratic Party has been taken over my radicals, so it isn’t wrong.

Right, the FBI and CIA under Biden and Obama exhibited their partisanship by actions, not words.

They didn't stay out of it, they just didn't broadcast their leftism.

TDS won’t allow Mac1958 to see the obvious.

 

[Mac1958]

Bullshit, this is propaganda 101.

Y'know, in fairness, this kind of language and worldview is what they consume 24/7/365. This is normal communication for them.

I think it's possible they're being honest -- they may not understand that there may be something wrong with it. They agree with it, the voices they trust use it regularly, so it must be perfectly normal and okay. EVERYONE must communicate like this, ALWAYS.

I've said all along, I don't think most of what they say are lies. I actually WISH it were, but I think they believe it all.

 

[AntonToo]

I honestly think that's one of the government's responsibilities, to let the people know who or what led to the shutdown. The Democrats are to blame here, and it doesn't really matter if it's "hyper-partisan" or not.

And when Democrat administration will also "let people know" by shamelessly politicizing government at every level like Trump is I'm sure you'll start to get a clue.

 

[SweetTea]

Come on Mac1958, no comment here? Where were you when this was going on?

 

[martybegan]

LOL, like is didn't happen before.

 

[Mac1958]

You keep trying to get my attention.

Somehow it hasn't yet dawned on you that your opinion of me means nothing.

Maybe you'll figure it out, maybe you won't. Who knows.

 

[AntonToo]

It certainly has never been like it is under Trump. The guy has zero shame, zero interest in impartiality of the institutions that serve the people.

Take your false equivalancy and shove it you know where.

Dems are fighting for middle class working families who are going to see their healthcare premiums go way up because of Trump.

Why is Vance lying about it?

Republicans falsely claiming Democrats want to give free health care to those without legal status

As Congress careens towards a government shutdown, Trump and top Republicans falsely accuse Democrats of demanding that free health care be given to “illegal aliens.”

Oh it sure has.

You just didn't care when Dems were doing it.

Ok lets play that out - show HUD previously publicly pimping administration's talking points on a shutdown or some other partisan matter.

Show adminstration previously firing their own appointed US Attorney who refused to bring indictment for lack of evidence, installing presiden't personal lawyer with zero prosecutorial experience to unilaterally bring an indictment.

Show administration droping an ongoing criminal case because the perp is useful to "President's priorities"

Show FCC chair threatening regulatory retribution unless a broadcaster takes action against a show host.

Gotcha. You only like opinions that correspond to your preferred rhetoric.

You see, it isn’t just me that you don’t respond to. You only respond to those that rub your belly and agree with whatever topic you post. You are not an intellectually curious person.
