๐บ๐ธ American Forces Network provides popular TV and radio programs to our troops and their families overseas. It is an invaluable service and brings back a bit of home to its viewers & listeners. I subscribed during 6+ years overseas with Stars & Stripes.
However ...

๐บ๐ธ As great as AFN is, anti-American, dangerous propaganda should not be anywhere near it. When Fox "News" ran this outlandish chyron during its coverage last night, it not only crossed a line, it obliterated it.
<more>
๐บ๐ธ The fitness and readiness of our troops is paramount. It is imperative they are combat ready and are getting their news from good, reputable sources.
๐บ๐ธ They deserve at least that much.
๐บ๐ธ Alleging that their Commander in Chief is a "wannabe dictator" is DANGEROUS.
<more>
๐บ๐ธ I am asking AFN to pull Fox's propaganda stream off of their service immediately. The Pentagon should be all over this.
๐บ๐ธ Our troops serve to protect us. We must protect them from bad actors who mean harm to the country they are protecting.
<more>
๐บ๐ธ Know this, propaganda kills. We have seen this through the centuries. It has been used to destabilize our troops and affect their combat readiness. Don't you think for even a minute that Fox didn't work this into their calculations.
๐บ๐ธ We have been under steady attack here in America, and providing cover for our enemies, so that they can do their dirty work is making this country a more dangerous place to live.

๐บ๐ธ The most important service you can perform for your country right now is to make sure you share the indictment, "United States vs. Donald J. Trump and Waltine Nauta" EVERYWHERE.
๐บ๐ธ It is stunning in scope and surprisingly easy to cut through.
๐RANT WARNING: Forget Trump for a minute, PLEASE, and let's think of how much better off all of AMERICA would be if the petulant son of a bitch had just done what we expect of our children and gracefully conceded defeat in 2020, while vowing to try harder next time?
๐But noooooooo ... not with this orange, loser, miserable fuck.
๐No, there was money to made and whining to be done. So he ran his big, fat, fucking mouth and lied about the election he lost by more than SEVEN MILLION VOTES -- he lied a documented 30,573 time in office, btw -- which somehow got his pathetic supporters in a weird lather.
๐The GOP is banning books and using weapon-grade propaganda like a club to beat the credibility out of our free & fair elections.
๐Our "Supreme" Court is dominated by proven perjurers and bought-off goons, who hide behind their robes and represent the worst of America.
<more>
๐History is a threat to these people because it only serves as a tip for their next bankrupt play.
๐There are more & more guns everyday, proving that it isn't our children's lives nor democracy they value, as much as it is unchecked toxic masculinity in all its pathetic forms.
๐People who look, think and act differently are viewed as a threat to their tightly, restricted black-and-white vision of America. Diversity is the enemy.
๐The pallet of color and endless possibility must wiped away and erased. Curiosity terrifies; senses must remain dull.
๐NOTE TO DEMOCRACY-HATING REPUBLICANS AND JOHN DURHAM: In his report, Robert Mueller concluded that Russian interference was "sweeping and systematic" and "violated U.S. criminal law."
๐Further ...
๐... he indicted 26 Russian citizens and three Russian organizations. The investigation also led to indictments and convictions of Trump campaign officials and other Americans campaign-related charges.
๐Further ...
๐ ... The REPUBLICAN-LED Intel Committee report found that the Russian government had engaged in an "extensive campaign" to sabotage the 2016 election in favor of Trump, which included assistance from some of Trump's own advisers.
๐SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, Texas โ A giant unmanned SpaceX rocket failed catastrophically and blew up shortly after takeoff Thursday.
<more>
๐Attempts by SpaceX owner Elon Musk to paint the disaster as a success mirror similar pathetic efforts to mitigate the multi-billion dollar losses he's suffered since being forced to purchase Twitter by a judge after outbidding himself by tens of billions of dollars.
<more>
๐โAn exciting test launch of Starship," Musk tweeted out. "Learned a lot for next test launch in a few months.โ
๐I am deeply, deeply disappointed in this #DominionvFox settlement.
๐As a career journalist, I hate Murdoch, his disgusting network, and the ghouls it employs with every, single fiber of my soul. The stain they have left on my profession will never wash out.
<more>
๐Since launching his attack on America by standing up his Fox propaganda outlet in 1996, the Australian-born Murdoch and his wretched team of cancerous carnival-barking hyenas have blown more hot air across this planet than all the stinking, coal-burning factories combined.
๐We KNOW Fox didn't believe the nuclear-grade crap they were doling out to their millions of viewers in the wake of the election. They continued anyway, though, worried they might lose an audience who they had made fat and unhappy over the decades.
