and i agree with you as well - congress needs to be doing their job. we've collectively lost sight of that and our separation of powers lines are fading fast.
i don't have to listen to the media. none of us do. we have choices and if someone wants to play the victim 24x7 then move on and stop talking about them. make them irrelevant because their clickbait no longer works.
there's life after the fall of mainstream news. oann.com and others are focused on traditional news. it will just take us a bit to learn to trust again. name any source and people first look to see which way it's purported to lean.
it will lean for you if you like it, against you if you don't. that's not all on the media, but us as well.
no, no, you miss the reason for the extremism, it is due to the press. Period!!!! if truth isn't reported, then there is nothing for a country to do. you missed my entire point. I thought you were for ending extremes? there's only one way, the way it is reported. and BTW oan is on cable, you don't get cable, you don't get oan or fox or newsmax. nope. never get real news.
push congress back to legislating, and it takes the press to do that. IMO.
OANN. Fox and Newsmax are extreme far right organizations. They are more extreme than the mainstream news media.
There is no "Far Right" in this country.
The phrase is a term of art by the Left to pretend that their is some equivalence with their evil.
There isn't.
Watch me prove it:
Far Left:
No prayer in schools, gay marriage, multiple genders, no borders, no sovereignty, no free speech, special rights for particular groups (affirmative action), under Franklin Roosevelt
the federal government was transformed from one of limited & enumerated powers only to the Frankensteinian monster it is today.
These are all radical positions that don't represent the center,
American traditions, values, and history ....that's what identifies "FAR."
You cannot name any 'FAR' from the center positions on the Right.
Racism, bigotry. hate, More guns, Lots of guns. No abortion, legalized discrimination, legislating religion. Blame the poor while worshiping the wealthy, Love a fat asssed, bigoted, conman, liar, woman assaulting, ascuised child rapist, all around amoral, not too smart asshole named Trump
The only racism is that of the Democrats.
See if you can find a single error here:
1.
The Democrat party historically was always actively promoting laws that supported racial segregation and had several Ku Klux Klansmen such as: Democrat Senators Robert Byrd, Senator Al Gore Sr., Democrat President Harry S. Truman, Democrat Governors Strom Thurmond filibustered against civil rights in 1957 and George Wallace blocked black students entry into segregated schools in 1957. As a side note, as a Democrat Senator, JFK himself voted against the 1957 civil rights act too.

2. In 1948, Strom Thurmond ran as a “Dixiecrat,” not “Dixiecan.” They were segregationists, and an offshoot of the Democrat Party. And they remained Democrats.
1. The so-called “Dixiecrats” remained Democrats and did not migrate to the Republican Party. The Dixiecrats were a group of Southern Democrats who, in the 1948 national election, formed a third party, the State’s Rights Democratic Party with the slogan: “Segregation Forever!” Even so, they continued to be Democrats for all local and state elections, as well as for all future national elections.
http://www.nationalblackrepublicans.com/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#The__Dixiecrats__Remained_Democrats
2. While all Democrats weren’t segregationists, all segregationists were Democrats.
3. Klan members and racists including Democrat FDR's first pick for the Supreme Court, Hugo Black, as well as George Wallace, ‘Bull’ Connor, Orval Faubus, Lester Maddox, etc.
4. And, Hugo Black's anti-Catholic bias, which showed up in his actions on the Supreme Court:
"... Black was head of new members for the largest Klan cell in the South. New members of the KKK had to pledge their allegiance to the “eternal separation of Church and State.”... Separation was a crucial part of the KKK’s jurisprudential agenda. It was included in the Klansman’s Creed..."
Egnorance: Hugo Black and the real history of "the wall of separation between church and state"
3. But the most important segregationists were Democrats in the U.S. Senate, where civil rights bills went to die.
a. "On June 13, 2005, in a resolution sponsored by senators Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and George Allen of Virginia, together with 78 others, the US Senate formally
apologized for its failure to enact this and other anti-lynching bills "when action was most needed."[3] From 1882-1968, "...nearly 200 anti-lynching bills were introduced in Congress, and three passed the House. Seven presidents between 1890 and 1952 petitioned Congress to pass a federal law."[3] None was approved by the Senate because of the powerful opposition of the Southern
Democratic voting bloc"

1. Here’s a great opportunity to see the work the media does: challenge anyone to name one segregationist U.S. Senator, and the only one they’ll be able to name is Thurmond….the only one who became a Republican. Get the idea?
2. The media intentionally hides the civil rights records of lifelong, liberal Democrats to make it look as if it was the Republican Party that was the party of segregation and racial discrimination.
3. The most important points: all the segregationists in the Senate were Democrats, and remained same for the rest of their lives…except for one. And they were not conservative.
1. Strom Thurmond became a Republican, albeit 16 years later.
4." There's also the curious case of David Duke in Louisiana. If the Democrats were what you claim they were, Duke would running as a Democrat. He's not, and he didn't run as a Democrat when he ran for Governor."
It appears you are ignorant of the facts:
a.. "
David Ernest Duke (born July 1, 1950) is an
American white nationalist,
politician,
antisemitic conspiracy theorist and former
Imperial Wizard of the
Ku Klux Klan.
[4][5]
A former one-term
Republican Louisiana State Representative, he was a candidate in the
Democratic presidential primaries in 1988."
David Duke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
b. As recently as 2012 he was still supporting Democrats.
"In 2012 a racist, dictator-loving, anti-Semitic, African-American NYC Councilman named Charles Barron ran for the Democratic Party nomination in New York’s 8th Congressional District. While some NYC Democrats such as Ed Koch and Jerrold Nadler condemned Barron and his Bigotry. But outside of NYC Democrats stayed neutral and refused to condemn the racist Charles Barron, even though was supported by white supremacist and anti-semitic David Duke."
David Duke Endorsed This DEMOCRAT, but the Media Didn't Care!
c. "As a Democrat, Duke lost two state Senate campaigns in the 1970s and briefly ran for president in 1979. He tried again for president in 1988, where he didn't make much headway. " Former KKK leader David Duke is running for Senate. How well could he do?
5. "The Democrat Party is and has always been, the party of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, the KKK, and second class citizenship."
As further proof, the most popular Democrat former President....and one the Democrats wish to put back in the White House is life-time racist, Bill Clinton.
Right up to today.
A racist his entire political life.
Why don't you challenge me to prove it?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The Democrat Party is and has always been, the party of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, the KKK, and second class citizenship.
2. The father of the Democrat Party was Andrew Jackson....the man responsible for 'The Trail of Tears."
3. The Republican Party was created to stop the infection known as the 'Democrats.'
4. The Democrats did everything to keep blacks as servants....and this attitude was actually voiced by Bill 'the rapist' Clinton.
I dare you to challenge me on that.
5. Democrat Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney decided that blacks were the equivalent of furniture.
6. "Some critics of the
Dred Scott decision charged that President
James Buchanan had conspired with Chief Justice
Roger B. Taney to allow further expansion of slavery. Such critics included
Abraham Lincoln and other Republicans."
Buchanan-Taney Conspiracy
7. Democrat Hugo Black was Democrat FDR’s first appointee, in 1937. This KKK Senator from Alabama wrote the majority decision on Korematsu v. US; in 1967, he said ‘They all look alike to a person not a Jap.”
Engage: Conversations in Philosophy: "They all look alike to a person not a Jap"*: The Legacy of Korematsu at OSU
a. And, Hugo Black's anti-Catholic bias, which showed up in his actions on the Supreme Court:
"... Black was head of new members for the largest Klan cell in the South. New members of the KKK had to pledge their allegiance to the “eternal separation of Church and State.”... Separation was a crucial part of the KKK’s jurisprudential agenda. It was included in the Klansman’s Creed..."
Egnorance: Hugo Black and the real history of "the wall of separation between church and state"
8. A full hundred years later, the Democrats were the very same party of segregation...
a. 1966 Republican Bo Calloway ran against Democrat Lester Maddox, who “gained national attention for refusing to serve blacks in his popular cafeteria near the Georgia Tech campus. Newsmen tipped off about the confrontation reported how restaurant patrons and employees wielded ax handles while Mr. Maddox waved a pistol. …”

b. Maddox was endorsed by Democrat Jimmy Carter in the above governor’s race. When the race was too close to call, the Democrat state legislature gave it to Maddox.
c. 1966- Republican Spiro Agnew ran against Democrat segregationists George Mahoney for governor of Maryland. Agnew enacted some of the first laws in the nation against race discrimination in public housing. “Agnew signed the state's first open-housing laws and succeeded in getting the repeal of an anti-
miscegenation law.”
Spiro Agnew - Wikipedia
9. Oh....and the Liberal/Democrat icon, LBJ????
He consistently voted against, and blocked Republican anti-lynching bills.
Prior to 1957, LBJ “had never supported civil rights legislation- any civil rights legislation. In the Senate and House alike, his record was an unbroken one of votes against every civil rights bill that had ever come to a vote: against voting rights bills; against bills that would have struck at job discrimination and at segregation in other areas of American life; even against bills that would have protected blacks from lynching.”
Robert Caro, “Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson, vol.3,” p. xv.
No errors???
Not a single one???
QED....the racists are the Democrats.
