THREADETE: LOL. First read @mrddmia of course, and then @NPR laughable "clarification" explained. Then continue 1/
2/ Compare: ImageImage
3/ Beyond the ridiculous "wrong verb" spin, you know like it depends what the meaning of "is, is," Roberts didn't say he didn't ask, he said he didn't "request."
4/ Not, while "request" and ask are synonyms, "request" also means "to express a desire for." And Chief Justice saying he didn't "request" they wear masks is no different than saying he didn't convey that request...At this point, ridiculousness of this exercise should be clear. ImageImage
5/5 And that NPR thinks its clarification helps--as opposed to further hurts--its credibility, tells you how stupid the powers that be there are...or how stupid they think we are. Image

THREADETTE: I'm literally chuckling to myself thinking how prominent "journalists" spent 4 years writing, tweeting, discussing, how Trump's Russia policy was pro-Russia b/c Putin had kompromat on Trump. There was no kompromat on Trump but Russia 💯 has lots on Biden. 1/
2/ And while Trump sanctioned Russia blocking pipeline to Germany, Biden undid that sanction allowing Russia to bypass Ukraine, putting Ukraine more at risk.
3/ Yet, I can't even imagine the non-corrupt segment of media seriously pushing narrative that Biden is pro-Putin and sacrificed Ukraine b/c Putin has leverage over Biden with videos, emails, texts, etc.

THREADETTE: On Friday, this headline made me do a double-take.
2/ ...because this is how I saw things:
3/ So, of course, me being me, tried to find out me. But most of the coverage was surface, so I did a deep dive. @FDRLST ttps://thefederalist.com/2022/01/17/arizonas-fight-with-biden-over-mask-ban-another-chance-for-the-supreme-court-to-defend-separation-of-powers/

As I've said before, DH is apolitical, conservative by nature, but not knee-jerk, so his takes provide amazing insight into how most Americans see things. Tonight while watching ABC News on Jan 6 & Biden, "Augh. This is so ridiculous!" Me, like I'm hosting a focus group: 1/
2/ Me: "Wait. What's ridiculous?"
Him: "It's been a year. It happened. It's over. There's nothing to debate. It's been a year and he's (Biden) still bringing up the other guy. Nobody cares."
3/ So, while I'm playing focus-group leader, DS is taking notes for his next shtick, which comes about 5 minutes later when he's kissing up to me so I'll let him post the joke tweet beg.

@randpaul was trending so I went to what he actually tweeted (as opposed to Twitter's hot take on it). So, in other words, the truth.
Maybe I need @RandPaul to help get this "nothing to see here" Election 2020 video to trend: thefederalist.com/2021/12/21/new…

THREADETTE House always said: "Everyone lies." I've always said, "everyone's biased." Now, others on Right may disagree, but I own my bias. That doesn't mean I'm going to lie, misrepresent, or mislead, and this morning, it dawned on me difference in bias from Right & Left. 1/
2/ Right's bias (in general) is limited to what it reports or focuses on and word choice, i.e. "intoned" versus "said," while the bias from the Left? Selection & word choice are there in spades, but so is creating false narratives and outrightly lying.
3/ This article (please do read because it really walks through how the false narratives are created), is a perfect illustration of the creating of a false narrative (which later leads to an outright lie). thefederalist.com/2019/05/31/law…
