The best vitriol is true!
A Facebook friend (let’s call him Auric) posts that President Joe Biden is a “pedo” — short for pedophile. His “proof” is a photo of his wife, a young Dr. Jill, sitting on his lap. Joe is also very young. Auric alleges that Jill was Joe’s underage, love-toy babysitter while his first wife was hospitalized.
“Cheating on his dying wife,” Auric cackles. “Once a pedo, always a pedo.”
We point out that Joe Biden’s first wife was DOA in an automobile accident in December 1972. We observed that Joe did not meet Jill until two years later — at which time the lady was age 23. All this is easily searchable. Auric did not appreciate these corrections. His exact words were: “Hey David [F-bomb] you! I will post what ever I want you don’t like it unfollow me. Keep watching CNN AND MSNBC you pedophile lover!” Sounds like QAnon.
We live in an age where we are entitled not only to our own opinions but our own facts.
Since that exchange, Master of the Universe Mark Zuckerberg slapped the False Information of Death screen on Auric’s post. (One of many on his page.) We’re of two minds on internet censorship but the question before the peanut gallery is why wallow in such obvious falsehoods?
Believing the unbelievable
Our largely corrupt news media bear some of the blame. In 2016, the chattering classes said no way Donald Trump could win and, moreover, that he should not. His victory was met by open Resistance, often violent. When Adam Schiff’s Russian collusion hoax collapsed after a 22-month investigation, Democrats substituted a single telephone call with Ukraine as the pretext for impeachment. Nancy Pelosi tore up Trump’s very excellent State of the Union address. Robert de Niro vowed to punch Trump in the mouth. Those are just the highlights lowlights.
If Donald Trump wasn’t already nuts, that kind of piling on may explain his attempted post-election coup.
The nation’s intelligentsia has taught us to believe the unbelievable. (If the riots in our cities last year were “mostly peaceful” then could that also be said of 6 January 2021?) A Wall Street Journal editor explicates:
[News] reporters … regarded every preposterous accusation put forward by his political foes as reasonable and likely true. … The administration built “cages” in which to cram children of illegal border crossers (it didn’t). The President praised neo-Nazis as “very fine people” (he didn’t). His postmaster general was removing mailboxes to steal the election (an obvious lie).
“It was hardly surprising that so many Americans believed Mr. Trump’s fictitious claims about the election. Reports of his defeat, accurate though they were, meant little coming from news organizations that cared so much about discrediting him and so little about factual truth.”
Does one untruth deserve another?
We say no. We say posting easily disproven misinformation sabotages the cause of conservative, pro-worker, constitutional government.
Can’t we let Joe Biden do the heavy lifting for us? Every day, he helps elect Republicans. Banning fracking and new oil drilling on federal land. Halting construction on the Keystone Excel pipeline. Hello, Jimmy Carter fuel prices!
Girls with hairy chests can now wrestle girls born as such. Seattle and Portland continue to burn, despite the healing balm of the Great Uniter. Washington D.C. is lined up on the runway for statehood. Teachers in Chicago refuse to report for work despite science and teenage suicides. Democrats are planning to “reform” the U.S. Supreme Court.
Worse, Joe Biden has inflicted John Kerry on America once again. (Let the pipeline workers make solar panels!) Is the return of the Hildabeast next?
Blaska’s Bottom Line: It doesn’t help that RITOs (Republicans In Trump Only) like my Facebook “friend” are determined to out-crazy the Left.

Joe wasn’t cheating on his dying wife, but he WAS cheating with Jill, according to Jill’s then very much still-alive and still-married-to-Jill husband.

Dave, you ask: “What are YOU doing to stop Crazy?”
Answer–> I am still trying to get accurate information about the vote totals in several key states. I want to know if Dominion fudged the count. I want to know whether other accusations of illegal acts in several states had the effect of causing Trump to lose. These questions are divorced from QA and from the question of whether I like or dislike Trump (or you, for that matter).

The truth usually bubbles to the top. Until the media and Dems admits it too was responsible for so much disinformation people like Auric will persist. I can’t tell you how many times people I respect have said “that happened 3-4 years ago get over it.” Well I can’t. I need someone like you from the other side to lay out and admit to the lies perpetuated about Trump. Will the Durham report make this happen? I doubt it .

It is a waste of time to argue with or correct crazies on the Internet. This was true in the 1990s and it is true today.
Some “Republican” crazies and some “Democrat” crazies have attached themselves to politics for bizarre and nearly incomprehensible reasons and anyone who has spent time around politics knows this.
Focusing on the fringe for extended periods of time becomes a real time waster. Meanwhile the elites are having their way while we focus on trivial pursuits.
They are squashing freedoms of all kinds from speech to assembly to dissent, and now free exchange on financial trading systems.
PAY ATTENTION! The GameStop story is hot and heavy and the elites organized (and obviously illegal) response to it is worth some damn attention!
Quit wasting your time on crazy fringe nuts who want attention…they are acting out and on the left just as on the right. They are paid agitators in some cases, undercover agents in other cases. It’s all a big distraction.

Anyone remember back in the days when the internet was a new thing, it was called the “information superhighway”? Like real highways, it has seen its share of gruesome wrecks, but refusing to allow some motorists access because you don’t like the brand of car they drive is not the way to reduce fatalities. If the Dems have their way, the information superhighway of the future will be filled with Priuses and Subarus without a Chevy pickup truck in sight.

You know the whole thing reminds me to the beginning of a song off the 1973 Brain Salad Surgery song by Emerson, Lake and Palmer called Karn Evil 9, (https://www.songfacts.com/lyrics/emerson-lake-palmer/karn-evil-9) which go like this:
“Welcome back, my friends
To the show that never ends
We’re so glad you could attend
Come inside! Come inside…….”
Since the early 70’s I cannot tell you how much I see those in power and their attempt to manipulate society. Quite frankly, I think both sides do it, but the Dem’s are far better at it than the Repub’s as they have the media behind them.
It’s all propaganda.
Fighting among ourselves is the exact expected outcome desired by those in power.
Look, while you and I are beating the snot out of one another, those in power are quietly going about grabbing more and more power.
Is that what you want?
Let us all commit to a return to the first principles laid out in the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the United States Constitution. Put term limits on those who can serve so they don’t have life time appointments. Limit the amount of time anyone at all can serve in Washington or any other governmental seat of power to include places like Madison’s City Council, Mayor and so on.
