Seriously, American free speech freely Lying is a real threat to the world.

If there ever is a real war involving America or threat of war the fascist media will drown the country in war lies that will get people killed, for real, and drag the nation into war.

Someone please ask Monica about the knee jerk tweet before she erases it, perhaps she do a deeper analysis as she must be right on top of the complexities!

in order to smear women's health clinics. This is pure, fulminating evil. And of course, the far right, spittle flecked morons love it.

Sheesh, who needs Russia when we've got RWNJs right here at home?

19. Yes, that's the whole "America first" mentality.

They (and their dear leader DJT) think the US should only care about what's happening to our country. Their motto is "screw everybody else, what happens to other countries is not our concern." They're too stupid to grasp how foolish and shortsighted (not to mention completely unsustainable) that stance is.

Never mind the fact that if Pootie were to (God forbid) succeed in his aims for Ukraine, he's not about to stop there. They're dumb enough to think that if we just got out of NATO, we could ignore the whole mess and let the chops fall where they may.

Of course, they're also grateful to Pootie for helping the Orange Hellbeast get elected, but even without that, they wouldn't care what he did as long as he stays on "his" side of the ocean. That's how people with no understanding of history, political science, or international relations think.

If Republicans say anything, particularly doughy old white men and blonde bimbos, figure it's a complete lie and move on. At least 98% of the time you'll be right and save a lot of brain power for something actually useful.
