Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

You're extremely stupid. It proposed those things, then they took them out when it was pointed out how retarded they were. Not as retarded as you, but still retarded. You've been told this, but keep ignoring it like the willfully stupid retard you are.

Not true. You can't show us a copy of the actual Green New Deal Resolution that listed eliminating cows or planes because it never did.

Taking care of the environment has never been the sole providence of liberals. Its the wealthy oil barons who are trying to sell that narrative.

They changed it and removed that crap. It also doesn't have the "money for people who can't or are unwilling to work" part too. It is still mostly a "do this!" without saying how or what to do though.

Is Sellstuff just Back posting his twitter feed?

Sellstuff seems even more emotionally unhinged than Back. Back is just sad.

I guess you haven't read the Green New Deal. It does none of those things. You are repeating something someone told you or you read somewhere other than the actual proposal.

It was in her own FAQ that she released to the media. She then had someone from her campaign do the cable news circuit and claim those were just lies that "some Republican" made up to make her look bad. Also the part about providing for people UNWILLING to work was in there too, but again was chalked up as a lie. The mainstream media then ran cover for her and went with the narrative that some nefarious Republican made up those lies about her FAQ. Eventually she had to recognize that it wasn't the works of an evil Republican, but rather it was an "early draft" of her FAQ, which begs the question, WHY were those things even discussed to begin with?

I can just imagine the utter shit storm that would come about had a Republican went with such a lame excuse. "Yeah, uhh, we did originally discuss taking away everyone's cars at gunpoint in an effort to save the planet, but we changed our mind." I'm sure the media would be like "OH! He changed his mind. It all good then."

The media you consume is no longer interested in providing you with the facts and details of stories and allowing you to arrive at your own conclusion. Instead they want to control what you see, what you hear, and what you think.

For example remember when the media was pushing the narrative that Jim Acosta never touched that female intern and instead the video was "doctored"? Yeah except that explanation was bullshit because Jim Acosta DID touch that intern. You can sit there and downplay it and claim it was no big deal, but the media actually went with the narrative that the video was doctored.

Now they're doing the same thing with a video from Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi gave a press conference where she was slurring her words, stuttering as if she were having a stroke, and completely forgetting words. Trump shared an EDITED (as in edited for time, NOT doctored) version of this video on his Twitter and the media once again started to spread false information, telling you what to think. They found another video of Pelosi that was doctored to make her look like she was slurring her words, said that video was doctored, and implied that ALL videos of Pelosi slurring her words were doctored, some news outlets just flat out said all of the videos of Pelosi slurring her words were doctored and fake.

You are actively being lied to and manipulated by the companies you trust to bring you the news. Why aren't you furious and angry about this? Instead you ignore it when this is pointed out to you and continue to willingly be lied to manipulated. I just have one simple question: Why?

[Parkbandit]

You have entrenched yourself so deeply, doubled down out of pride so often, that you have completely lost perspective on what is important. Everything you listed is very important to society and should be done not just for our own sake but the sake of generations to come.

Claiming that making society a better place for ourselves and our children is some sort of excuse for political upmanship authored by idiots has to be some new sort of psycological syndrome of some kind. Or we can call it what it is. Just plain stupid.

WTF?

It was just a very simple question: What is YOUR abortion stance.

And you literally turned it into you being retarded once again with your "upmanship" and your "psycological" issues.

Dude... you are the fucking champion and quite honestly, there's no one left to really challenge you. You can stop being stupid just for the sake of proving it every post.

It's extremely difficult to believe in a future envisioned by those that include the willing extermination of the most valuable building block in the construction of that future.

Abortion rates have gone down steadily all on their own since the 80s and 90s. But don't worry about not having enough "building blocks". There are plenty more where that came from.

From my recollection the only "media sites" that talked about any of that were alt-right media sites. What I saw on the major news networks was coverage of Ocasio-Cortez and Markey introducing it to Congress. Any comments about cow farts, banning planes, and all that crap came from right-wing pundits, no one else.

I can just imagine the utter shit storm that would come about had a Republican went with such a lame excuse. "Yeah, uhh, we did originally discuss taking away everyone's cars at gunpoint in an effort to save the planet, but we changed our mind." I'm sure the media would be like "OH! He changed his mind.

Dude, really?

I would agree with you but amend the statement to say SOME media. You bet your ass there are media outlets out there that are nothing more than instigators for corporate interests. I believe that the wealthy need the middle class and the poor to grow to fortify their positions, so they spend a fraction of their vast wealth on media meant to keep the middle and poor classes fighting among each other, programming them to be good consumers, and promoting their wars that we die in.

I believe there are still actual journalists dedicated to doing actual journalism. Our country has a Constitution that protects the freedom of the press. It is vitally important that we have that to question those in authority. Part of what those bad media outlets are doing to keep us fighting is claiming that all media is lying which is just not true.

For example remember when the media was pushing the narrative that Jim Acosta never touched that female intern and instead the video was "doctored"? Yeah except that explanation was bullshit because Jim Acosta DID touch that intern. You can sit there and downplay it and claim it was no big deal, but the media actually went with the narrative that the video was doctored.

It was also a scene where the wannabe dictator president had a baby tantrum and tried to shut down the Constitutionally protected press for the horrific crime of... asking a question.

Now they're doing the same thing with a video from Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi gave a press conference where she was slurring her words, stuttering as if she were having a stroke, and completely forgetting words.

Can you post links to back this up? Like a link to what Trump tweeted, a link to the non-doctored clip, and everything else you are claiming here?

Let the buyer beware. Its a tenet of our capitalist society. I look at many sources and make my own conclusions.
