Democrats really need to seize onto this – start musing publically and loudly about who Biden should imprison first, without trial, once Trump hands him the power to do so!
You throw enough shit at the wall, some of it’s about to stick. The rumors of this were around long before QAnon nuts came on the scene, same as the #metoo accusations
And I’ll throw in that no, Alex Jones didn’t break Epstein either. He first mentioned him re. the Virginia Giuffre lawsuit, and subsequently claimed to have always been talking about him to make his “Globalist” narrative more credible.
Spain has a public TV, that is relatively neutral and mostly free of fake news (except on Dec 28, that’s the April Fools day for Spain), but some find it too “bland”. Then a bunch of regional TVs that spin everything each its own way, a “catholic” one, and some private nationwide TVs that live from “engagement” (aka: controversy). Plus the usual share of scam filled tele-shops, fortune readers, casinos and similar.
As for newspapers, with their digital editions, there is no neutral one. Right, Left, Sports, Market analyst BS, all flavors of regional nationalisms, a bunch of “engagement” based ones, down to content mills, and random scammers. Pretty much any “shareable” piece of news, either has a heavy slant, or is BS. That’s when it isn’t directly fabricated as a “meme”.
Without digging deeper, I’d only consider anything shared from RTVE… but that’s usually too boring and lacks the “wow” factor to get shared in the first place.
This sounds precise. My partner’s family is ultra conservative. Nothing they share is bland. It is all sensational, end-of-the-world level stuff: the immigrants are coming, the government is controlled by Illuminati, “they” gave us COVID and are making us eat insects while “they” eat like kings, economic collapse is just around the corner…
Weird. The coppiest cop to ever cop did some cop shit.
The article calls him a centrist Democrat, and like, no. Centrists don’t need defending, but he is very right wing. Calling him centrist is just trying to normalize right wingers
I’m a little confused. The only time I used the word “Democrat” was saying what the article said. I didn’t even really describe centrist. I just said Eric Adams is right wing.
Hell of a lot better than TX or FL where they give some false promise and then force them all off to somewhere they don’t like with a big fuck-off attached. At least it gives people a choice of destination, maybe they have someone they know elsewhere to live with but can’t get there otherwise.
It’s still fucked up. Nobody wants to spend the money and do the work necessary to make sure these people are capable of living comfortable lives. They’ll just keep getting handed off and shipped elsewhere over and over.
I don’t know if you’ve ever been homeless in New England in the winter, but I definitely have and if you’re not from the area you’re straight up not ready for how cold it’s going to get.
If I was homeless in New York I’d take a ticket in a heart beat.
Right, but you’re missing the point. We’re still just passing the hot potato around, and nobody is doing anything to actually solve any of the problems that get us here.
I think the point in this case is not freezing to death. We’re always going to have homelessness as long as our society is an evil capitalist dystopia. I’m not sure that NYC is equipped to tackle that particular problem on their own.
Same kind of deal with most any refuge situation though. Country gets into a war for whatever reason, some crazy person gets in power and decides X group is undesirable, natural disaster levels a town, someone has to foot the bill but just passing it off to whatever location they land at won’t work. Within the USA we have things like FEMA that could help out by pooling resources from multiple places to support an affected region, but that becomes a lot more difficult when you’re talking international. We can’t exactly demand taxes from someplace else entirely to fix the issue, and even if we have local resources it’s going to detract from supporting the local people that already need help.
It’s stupid and largely the fault of a profit driven mindset by society. We have housing in abundance that nobody can afford and piles of food thrown out at the end of the workday in restaurants and cafes because they’re not allowed to give it away (supposedly for health reasons but if it was good enough to sell before closing time it’s good enough after).
