as it does for cons. Of course they have it easier. Most Americans will err on the side of the Old Establishment that props up, well, cons.

Just makes me recall how easy it was to get ignoramuses to repeat "I just don't know anything about her" during the election.

UTube is infested with this kind of hype. Trump (or someone or something else) "panics", "freaking out", "devastated", "finished", "game over", "changes everything", "bombshell" etc. etc. etc.

All for a few click and view payments.

said that getting something ($100 million in legal services) in exchange for letting said law firms to continue to get government legal cases is blatantly a bribe.

but that's what the right wing did with Biden and Harris. So while I did have a problem with it at first I no longer really care. And see how seeing many headlines like that can influence low info casual voters .

But if people are going to post it here I would like a more accurate description 9f what it's about.

DU is 100% Democrats...

There's no one here to persuade or cajole...

THUS... this kind of BS is just propaganda.

And deploying propaganda amongst the base is even worse.

This kind of crap has a place... like X or FB or blue sky where MAYBE an undecided or disgusted GOP'er might ingest it...

NOT HERE.

Posts, that is. Not dollars. Haven't even made pennies. Of course, the pennies will soon be worth more than the dollars because the recycling value will be more for tin than paper.

Maybe news that Trump didn't rape girls or promoted a black guy (not a white guy) based only on his skin color.

Any other villainy he did they'd just cheer.
