Do people really not understand issue w media cheering/silent as people in the streets last week celebrated the election $ politicians in NYC, DC, CA etc ignoring own restrictions vs now giving lectures about the need for further sacrifices & restrictions for other Americans?
If your messaging isn’t consistent, you’re going to lose credibility with the people who you need to reach. Won’t matter how much you lecture, people won’t just accept two different sets of rules. Once people recognize hypocrisy, that’s just not a bell you can unring.
Just a reminder that this thread was 9 days ago. And while Rupar & a few others were explicit about their hypocrisy, the relative silence re celebrations vs the widespread condemnations of ND rushing the field were impossible to ignore:
A lot of people have spent a lot of time investigating claims of massive voter fraud. They should be investigated. But it's hard to take people seriously when they are pushing to ignore the findings of such investigations when it doesn't support their preferred narrative.
In this particular case, Hannity promoted a conspiracy that had 0 evidence re the possibility of Dominion software being hacked to change votes. Problem is that the machines and software he was citing as hackable weren't used in the states he was highlighting had discrepancies.
It speaks volumes that this receives so little coverage and has been normalized. Also, note there were a lot more Trump protesters in DC, but they aren’t attacking random people eating dinner.
Sickening assault. Also, notice they steal his phone as he lays unconscious. The police should be tracking down the perpetrators and then loudly advertising their arrest. This stuff will keep happening until it becomes clear there are consequences.
This is so irresponsible and truly deplorable. Jim & others got exactly the reaction they wanted with these tweets, thereby putting real people in danger by trying to misportray what happened to anger Trump/Trump allies and make it seem like DoD was ignoring the POTUS.
If you read the actual article, the person they are quoting, Jim Jeffrey, is actually very complimentary of Trump's FP (despite being anti-Trump in 2016). Jeffrey explains how they convinced Trump admin to leave slightly more troops there. He does not claim they fooled Trump.
"Jeffrey now says that Trump’s “modest” and transactional approach to the Middle East has yielded a more stable region than either of his predecessors’ more transformational policies."
A bunch of reports today regarding huge spikes in Covid-19 cases, barely a mask in sight, and yet the same people who will shame others for doing casual activities and soon insist on further restrictions will say nothing about this.
No one should ever take any of the Covid commentary from these guys seriously.
People had to cancel weddings, skip funerals, leave loved ones to die alone. All while being lectured by Hayes and crew about need for such restrictions.
I get that people are desperate to create a narrative, but spreading blatant falsehoods to undermine trust in our institutions is harmful garbage. It won't help Trump win, but it will hurt your credibility.
This is another claim/video that went viral claiming to show someone burning ballots. It is false.
So it's time for a bit of a rant that will upset some of my followers. I have been intentionally biting my tongue until the polls close (outside a few still open), but have to be honest about what I have wanted to say.
First, to come clean on my election prediction:
Here was my intentionally cryptic tweet representing electoral votes and Senate seats:
I stayed quiet until the polls were closed for one major reason: Trump was already an anchor on at-risk Senate candidates that are desperately needed to keep Dems in check and I didn’t want to add to that.
