In what has to be the height of hypocrisy there are dozens and dozens of Republican politicians in the United States that are now cheering parts of the COVID relief bill as if it was their own....., while EVERY SINGLE Congressman and Senator voted AGAINST IT!
Once again I am so glad we live up here in the frozen north (sic) where it's too cold for these sorts of shenanigans!
The way I see it anyway!
On this last day of 2020 (Yipee!)) I would like to call for the removal of the broadcast license of Fox Cable News and most of the other Right Wing broadcast outlets!
Their disingenuous portrayal of politics has reached disgusting levels and just today I found blatant examples of Right-Wing propaganda that made my head spin and my stomach churn!
I have my TV set up o that I can switch back and forth between MSNBC on the left and CNN in the middle and FOX news somewhere in the Twilight Zone way over on the right of the political spectrum..., and while I was watching them I noticed that MSNBC and CNN were covering the pandemic and the new strain of covid-19 and the possible collapse of the hospital system in L.A. county and a third vaccine (Astrazeneca) about to come online and the failure to distribute the vaccine in the individual States..., and on and on!
Meanwhile, over at FOX cable news, most of the morning was devoted to GOP efforts to hire election observers to combat the obvious fraud about to occur at the Georgia Senate race next Wednesday, as well as the rejection of the new covid bill in the Senate that would put $2000 in the hands of most Americans.
One interesting point about the covid bill dialogue in the Senate was when Mitch McCan't gave reasons why they couldn't approve the extra money for those disadvantaged by the virus.
Chuck Surely then got up and started to lambast the Republicans for denying Americans $2000 relief money because of the pandemic..., while giving corporations over two (2) TRILLION dollars in tax breaks last year! (As soon as it became obvious where Schumer was going with his speech they cut the 'feed' and went right back to the news desk!)
ALL THIS LYING IN THE MEDIA PERMITS THE REPUBLICANS TO SUBVERT THE CONSTITUTION (AND DEMOCRACY) AND TRY TO STAGE A COUP D'ETAT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T WIN THE ELECTION BY LEGAL MEANS!
SO!
My wish for 2021 is that all those lying S.O.B.'s on the Far-Right 'burn in hell' for all the lies they are telling!
The way I see it anyway!
With the current state of polarization between the Democrats and Republicans... along with the far-left trying to bankrupt the country... and the far-right trying to blow up democracy (among other things), it's about time for the Libertarians to get in the game.
The United States needs three political parties to adjust the playing field. Instead of politics being played like a half-court game of pick-up basketball it should be conducted more like a baseball game. (You don't want politics to look like a hockey or football game..... for obvious reasons!)
If there is some billionaire that really wants to change the American political system for the better... then let him (or her) spend a billion or so to set up the Libertarian party at the Federal, State and local levels.
A third party would be an automatic damper against the extremes of one side or the other as was the case with the Trump Republicans (Even if they were more of a cult than a political party.) and/or the Republican Senate under McConnell!
The exact logistics of how it would work is up to the guy with the money and some of the political egg-heads but anything would be better than what ya got right now!
The way I see it anyway!
