Yeah. I thought that was pretty funny when I saw it. Anybody with half a brain knows that she's a clown though.

Here's one that's not so funny. I posted it in another thread earlier today, but it's probably just going to get buried there.

Jimmy Dore is pretty far left, and has been for a long time... But he's left about the things that I agree with for the most part, and he's not afraid to call the bullshit.

He's long been a part of TYT, but they've been boxing him out ever since he started calling out the Russia narrative as a conspiracy by the establishment.

Jimmy Dore is pretty good! Thanks for putting me on to him! I'll be following him.

Yeah. I really like the guy. Been watching him for about 3 years. That's around the time I learned about The Young Turks and how bad a lot of their stuff is. They're just about the YouTube equivalent of CNN. As far as I know he's still on there too, but if he keeps this stuff up they're going to ostracise him and call him alt-right. That would actually be very funny because he's got a lot of pro-socialism views on things like Universal Income, Universal Healthcare and free college. He's pretty much a Bernie Bro.

I'll have to see if I can dig up the video where he got in a heated argument with the head of TYT on a segment and claimed that he was pro-censorship.

It should be noted that Jimmy Dore was caught on video just a year earlier spitting his drink in Alex Jones' face.

Unfortunately, that "idiot" runs TYT, and is pretty much representative of the rich elite and how they like to handle things.

One thing that Jimmy got only part right on that second video is what people who don't buy into the bullshit are going to call you when you swim against that tide. He said that they call you a conspiracy theorist when you don't buy into their conspiracy theory they've been drilling into people's heads for years. That much is true. But from where he's sitting and his long history online it's hard for them to outright call him a Nazi or alt-right... at least not now.

He reminds me of the Democrats I used to know. The ones that used to be on this site many years ago that I agreed with on a lot of things when GWB was president.

Seems there's not much left but crazies these days.

We need more people like Dore out there. Liberals that haven't gone full crazy that can bring people back to the center. God knows that will never be accepted from anybody who is even slightly right of center.

Here's a link to a downloadable PDF file of the poll Jimmy references around 14:30 on Gallop:

https://news.gallup.com/poll/237392/satisfaction-important-problem-tre
nds.aspx

Funny that this poll was put together back in July and this is the first I've heard of it. I've downloaded it and will be looking through it after work.

If it is legitimate, then our resident RUSSIA!!!! Trolls here are representative of less than 1% of the country today. This wouldn't be surprising since less than 1% of the country watches CNN/MSNBC on a daily basis.

EDIT: One thing I did have a chance to look at before I go is the Satisfaction to Dissatisfaction ratio breakdown for the question "In general, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the way things are going in the United States at this time?" that dates back to 1983.

Though the current month's result is 35/62/2 and doesn't sound very great, it has been flirting with the high 30's several times this year.

It should be noted that the ONLY time during the entire Obama presidency that the number was ever as "high" as 35 for satisfaction were two months, all the way back in May and August of 2009. A majority of his presidency was mired in the 10's and 20's for Satisfaction.

How am I only hearing about this now? /end of rhetorical questions

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Hallelujah! Dore has brought me back to my democratic roots.

I'll take a closer look at the poll as well.

I have to say - and I know I've recounted this before - there were some very SPECIFIC events at various times in my life where I knew the reality and got to observe the US news being highly dishonest. And not just about little things, and not just for a short time. I got to observe it being entirely dishonest about an African war the CIA was involved in over many years, while the media failed to cover that war at all.

The reason you don't know about the poll is because tptb want to keep us all in the grip of their useful narrative. They want us to be isolated in our suspicions and discontents, as we look all around and see the bland rosy assurances that are presented everywhere as reality.

I think btw that the deep shittters - I mean the deep staters - might sense they're gradually losing control of the narrative. Take the RUSSIA!!!RUSSIA!!!RUSSIA!!! meme. There are only so many times you can beat that horse before it's well and truly dead. And continuing to beat it afterwards - well, it won't do you much good. Which is why Pelosi is now licking a semen stain off of a blue dress. Or the equivalent. Because Trump's taxes will for sure connect .TRUMP.RUSSIA.COLLUSION. together.

Anyway - I thank you again for bringing Dore to the board! I'd thought that pov had been lost forever. I guess I fell into the narrative myself. Because it hadn't been lost - they just - - - muffled the screams.

You're welcome. I've actually posted probably a dozen or so videos he's made over the last few years here, but they were usually in reply to existing threads on various subjects and I don't know if anybody actually watched any of them.

Like I said before, I don't agree with everything the guy has to say about everything, but I could say that about anybody else too. He is one of about half a dozen people who I get my news from these days. He has actually changed my mind about some things over the years as well, or at least he has gotten me to look into things that changed my mind about something.

It's really a good thing he has deep roots with TYT. If he didn't, I fear that he'd be labeled an alt-right personality at this point for how often he goes against the establishment Democrats.

In one of his videos (I believe yesterday), he was talking about Clinton and how the media is trying to humanize her with a publicity stunt she pulled the other day. During that he joked "Now's not the time, Jimmy", as in now's not the time to be trying to split the Democratic party. That's kind of a running gag he's got going on because people have been screaming at him about that since before the 2016 election.

Sure, there is partisan media on the left, but its audience is much smaller and it lacks misinformation peddlers like Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones. We appear to be approaching a crucible moment. Robert Mueller appears ready to produce evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to help win the presidency. Federal law enforcement has already indicated Trump himself broke campaign finance laws. Yet I suspect Republicans will greet both developments with a collective shrug. When you hate your opponent as much as Republicans hate Democrats, it is hard to give an inch on anything.

The MSM has a much smaller audience? Smaller than what? MSM has the largest audience of any segment!
And the partisan Left MSM has an endless parade of misinformation peddlers! This is Hollywood, and the reason all Networks but one have no News Departments, they only have Entertainment Divisions producing partisan misinformation "News" shows. They often even put "News" in the title of their scripted production shows, probably hoping to fool low-IQ viewers into thinking they are actual News providers. The lone exception is FOX News Channel, but that is more center or perhaps right of center, compared to the entirety of partisan left-wing MSM outlets. Once upon a time, it could have been argued that CNN had been a News provider, but that was before Gulf War I, and confirmed with the OJ in the White Bronco, when they saw how much revenue they got from the lowest common denominator, and devolved into merely entertainment. Just because MSM is the stenographers and PR wing of the Democrap Party does not mean they have a small audience.

Throughout the campaign, Trump insisted he had no connections to Russia. And after the election, he said he had “stayed away” from the country. The exact opposite was true.

The full significance of Trump’s deception of the American public has not sufficiently registered.

(Has a single Republican leader said boo about it?)

While Trump had pitched himself to voters as an America First candidate who sincerely held positive sentiments regarding Putin, he had pursued a deal in Russia that could have reaped him hundreds of millions of dollars. And he had not shared this salient fact with the public. Needless to say, Trump could not have moved ahead with a major endeavor in Moscow if he had been talking tough about the Kremlin. He was thoroughly compromised as a candidate and hid that from the public during the campaign.

In a non-Trumpified world, revelations of this behind-the-scenes scheming for profit would have set off an enormous political earthquake. This was a significant conflict of interest in modern American campaign history. Don't forget the hundreds of millions of dollars Trump could have made from Russia, money that he swore didn't exist.

So, in other words SECOND you have no idea what's on "media on the left". Seriously, every time you (or anyone else) has to resort to personal insults, that just tells me there's a space-like vacuum behind your posts.

Let’s recap for Signym, who is angry, insulted, and lost in the maze:

1) Trump, while campaigning for president, had a secret deal in Russia for which his attorney sought Putin’s help. Trump lied to the public about this.

2) Trump’s campaign was informed that Moscow intended to intervene to help Trump. It said nothing about this information, essentially encouraged the Kremlin, and denied Moscow’s involvement once the Russian hack-and-dump attack became publicly known.

3) Trump, after being told the Kremlin was attempting to subvert an American election, claimed no such thing was happening. He covered for Putin.

Trump aided and abetted Russia’s secret war on the United States — a war that helped shape the outcome of a narrowly decided presidential election. This is all known, and indisputable — except that these days, anything will be disputed by Trump, his followers, and Signym. Even if Trump’s disputations are demonstrable lies — “I have nothing to do with Russia” — they still color and cloud the ongoing public discourse about what happened in 2016. Trump’s disputations have prompted his supporters, his GOP comrades, and Signym to reject or ignore the powerful truth of Trump’s profound betrayal, portraying it as just another debatable point in the grand chaos of the Trump years.

The key quote from the article about Springsteen that Jimmy Dore is using: The point that Springsteen is trying to make is not that Trump is worthy of re-election. It’s that Democrats have not accepted the fact that Trump, for all his mistakes and imbecile behavior, found a "Make America Great Again" message that tapped into the souls of America’s middle class in 2016. Why can’t Democrats find that message, too?

springsteen-democrats-find-someone-america-working-class/2229586002/

I know the answer to the question: Why can’t Democrats find that message, too? Because there is no way that anybody (Democratic Party, GOP, Trump, Bernie) can do more than a send a message. The Democratic Party has the fatal weakness that it won't tell whopping huge lies like the GOP will in order to win elections. The somebody who can do it, the top 1% of Americans in wealth, are not going to do it. The 1%, at about 3.3 million of them, out number the 3 million federal employees. The deal is that the lower 99% will have to organize themselves against the will of the top 1%. The lower 99% have had 242 years since 1776 to organize themselves and they haven't been able to do it. It won't happen in the next 2 years, either.

Why can't the 99% do it? Because the top 50% of the population see themselves as someday joining the top 1%. Why overthrown the class that they will someday join? The practical answer: because you will never be a 1%er. You won't win that lottery because dreaming that you will, and protecting the top 1%, is guaranteed to keep you out of that select group which actually runs America instead of Congress and the President.

In other words, Trump was promoted based on his success in previous jobs until he reached a level at which he is no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another. To compensate for his weaknesses, Trump could hire competent people, for his cabinet and staff, but he chooses not to, perhaps because Trump is extremely incompetent?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect

The psychological phenomenon of illusory superiority was identified as a form of cognitive bias in Kruger and Dunning's 1999 study "Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments".

It is astounding the level of Delusion required to even make a claim like that. That the Troll probably even believes that is mind-boggling.
Must have had his head in the sand for the past 80 years.

No shit.

The REAL point they're trying to make is that Democrats can't find a single candidate that can even beat Trump... and YES, that is meant as a HUGE insult to today's Democratic Party. They don't have any message that the working class gives a shit about.
