Yep.That is a super accurate statement. The democrats only care about black people for a couple months every 4 years. I’m hopeful that the democrat chokehold on the black vote opens up this year.
Just like the last civil war perpetrated by democrats in an effort to protect slave ownership, the current democrat party is ginning up a civil war to keep blacks ignorant and under their thumb.
Depends on how it’s twisted.The death count is trending down because some are coming back to life to vote for Biden.
The great state of Wisconsin. Happy National Cheese Curd Day!Nice! I’m in southeast Wisconsin, and I’m seeing the same ratio of signs. Damaged and spray painted Trump signs count as double because they show the public what vile and hateful people the democrats are.
No such beast appears to have ever existed. For example, Thomas Jefferson, who believed strongly in freedom of speech, on the newspapers of his day:THAT IS AWESOME! I knew Jefferson was suspect of the Press, but I never read that.
“The most effectual engines for [pacifying a nation] are the public papers... [A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers. This suffices with the mass of the people who have no means of distinguishing the false from the true paragraphs of a newspaper.”
“I deplore... the putrid state into which our newspapers have passed and the malignity, the vulgarity, and mendacious spirit of those who write for them... These ordures are rapidly depraving the public taste and lessening its relish for sound food.”
“‘From forty years' experience of the wretched guess-work of the newspapers of what is not done in open daylight, and of their falsehood even as to that, I rarely think them worth reading, and almost never worth notice.”
“Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day.”
“As for what is not true, you will always find abundance in the newspapers.”
“A coalition of sentiments is not for the interest of printers… [T]he printers can never leave us in a state of perfect rest and union of opinion. They would be no longer useful and would have to go to the plough.”
"I really look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens who, reading newspapers, live and die in the belief that they have known something of what has been passing in the world in their time…”
“A truth now and then projecting into the ocean of newspaper lies serves like headlands to correct our course. Indeed, my scepticism as to everything I see in a newspaper makes me indifferent whether I ever see one.”
“The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”
“From a very early period of my life, I had laid it down as a rule of conduct, never to write a word for the public papers.”
Yup. I told them how easy it is to get an absentee ballot from their home district. For most it will be their first Presidential election. I said it wasn't a privilege to vote, it was their duty to do so. Democracy isn't a spectator sport.That’s good. There is always a massive effort to get UW Madison and other state universities’ students to vote as residents, and even use their school ID to satisfy the photo ID requirement. Along with same-day registration, we always get a lot of non-resident students voting as residents in Madison.
My wife and I voted absentee, and I dropped our ballots off at the courthouse. Pretty amusing to drive down and see all the HUGE Trump signs. And the occasional tiny Biden sign. Looking forward to staying up late on election day and watching the MSM meltdown followed by riots in Democrat controlled cities.Cool. Can I ask what state you are in?
My chiropractor is so over it. No one wears masks in the office and he doesn’t use gloves, he always reaches for my hand to help me off the table. Bare skin touching bare skin, the horror! The first time I hesitated thinking, “you aren’t scared I will kill you?” Now I love it. A man with zero fear.I saw a manufacturing client today in a small town about 45 minutes north of Milwaukee this morning. I asked and the receptionist said masks aren’t required; needed to electronically sign in and then they took our temperature.
Even for the elderly, covid-19 is not a death sentence. Anyone promoting that panic is a liar. Challenge those liars to produce actual facts, actual data.10 days after being diagnosed with the Rona Donald Trump was dancing to YMCA on the stage in Florida.
And I submit that more people of every age is going to wind up dying from fear than from the actual virus.
The trouble with this is that the young are terrified of the virus. They have been told it might kill them and they’re not mature enough to understand risk. With my son being in college now, I keep track of the campus pulse by lurking various student sites - these kids think it’s a death sentence and treat it like radioactivity. The only group for which this might be true is the elderly.
I believe more people under 65 are going to wind up dying from fearing the virus than from the actual virus.
Stan, what's going on up in WI? Evers is putting up a field hospital?It’s Rona theater. Our pencil-necked Governor has based his latest mask mandate and 25% capacity mandate with zero scientific basis. They are set to expire 11/6.
Ted Kennedy?
Teddy?
Ted Kennedy?Ha! No, Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana. I love listening to this guy on Fox every so often.
Teddy?
Lots of crying about the lines for early voting. They don't seem to understand that for early voting there are not the number of polling places open as there will be on November 3rd, Election Day.And those mental midgets’ votes count as much as yours.
I voted absentee. Didn't feel like risking getting the 'rona. Dropped our ballots off the other day. Place was busy too, good to see. I told my students to get registered and vote. Didn't tell them who to vote for, just told them that absentee ballots were really easy to get, and that they should make their voices heard. They're the future.Did you tell them they need to get their absentee ballot for their home precinct, or are they claiming their dorm or college residence is their home?
