Enjoyed this documentary and underscores the importance of pro-actively looking for the full story on news events and not trusting single sources and random tweets in this day and age, which very few people will do. The internet was "supposed" to bring everyone together and connected, but AI/ML optimized for "hits" and views for advertising puts people in bubbles and further apart. And with people seeing custom and tailored messaging / news, they become all the more incredulous that "the other side" could think the things they do, assuming everyone is getting the same news / information.

And make Puerto Rico a State.

This guy Miller is the biggest trash bag racist, he also needs Trump to stay in power for all the crap things he was part and in all probability thought came up with.

Why hasn't Walters signed anyone yet? This is a disaster. Feels good.

One thing that the Democrats should do if they take the Senate is give Washington, DC state representation, being predominately Democrat that's 2 more Senators for them

I would take it a step further. When their opinion is absolutely absurd based on tin foil logic usually with a side of racism they truly believe it to be fact in their hoped reality. Then when one tries to present to them the real facts based on the best available evidence to date they yell fake and then feel proud they triggered, they owned the socialists, the libtards, the snowflakes, the lefties etc etc etc.

In the past I would have panicked but since weed is legal, nothing bothers me anymore. I mean unless I run out of weed.

long past time for Democrats to put their Country before their party. dont have to be terribly smart to see what the end point of letting this pass without consequences is. they have their head up their ass if they ignore this.

Because they are trying to court the center-right wing voters who are largely imaginary. Appeasement does not work- as Neville Chamberlain. a

241 new cases 9 deaths (twitter not working for me)

I thought it was a mecca for either skin exfoliation or various pouring of liquids like tea or concrete and wheel covers for cars and such... have I been pronouncing it wrong? Por n' Hub?

Alternative facts.....from an alternative planet

True. Tragic, but true. The US was born in armed conflict, grew in slavery and racism, and has kept these values as sub-context to all their affairs.

Armed MAGA fanatics spread politics of violence around the country with shooting in Olympia, Washington The pattern has become clear: Wherever pro-Donald Trump "Stop the Steal" rallies are organized, the thugs who come out in large numbers to participate wreak violence on anyone who comes out to protest them. This weekend, even as Proud Boys and other Trump supporters were bringing violence to the streets of Washington, D.C., a similar but much smaller group of MAGA fanatics was doing the same thing across the country in the Washington state capital. And for the second week in a row in Olympia, a Trump supporter fired a gun at counterprotesters for a "Stop the Steal" event—this time, hitting and injuring a man who was wounded and hospitalized at the culmination of a running series of brawls. Police arrested the man, along with three other people at the event. Armed MAGA fanatics spread politics of violence around the country with shooting in Olympia, Washington - Alternet.org

Today is the 8th anniversary of the Sandy Hook massacre. The day the NRA debate logically ended. If 26 childrens’ deaths cannot provoke meaningful gun law change, don’t think anything will. In the aftermath, conspiracy theories rose. None of this SHOULD be in a political thread, but such is the state of the USA now that this seemed to be the most appropriate place to put this piece. It begs the huge question - how did the US get to this point where this kind of thinking not only takes hold but is allowed to grow in the mainstream? What had driven so many to believe all of these conspiracy theories? https://twitter.com/shannonrwatts/status/1338497105627734016?s=20

Electoral College set to seal Trump's fate -- yet again Electors from 50 states and the District of Columbia will gather across the country to cast their ballots, which will confirm Joe Biden as the rightful 46th president and California Sen. Kamala Harris as vice president. Despite the certainty of the constitutional choreography that will confirm Trump's loss, several rebukes from the Supreme Court and multiple court losses, he refuses to accept reality and put the country first by accepting defeat. "It's not over ... we're going to continue to go forward," Trump told Fox News in an interview recorded Saturday, before tweeting on Sunday that the nation's top bench had "chickened out" by ruling Friday that Texas had no standing to file a case on his behalf. Veteran Republican election lawyer Ben Ginsberg told CNN's Ana Cabrera on Sunday that the blunt Supreme Court dismissals of Trump's cases were "the briefest and most summary of dismissals possible. That is a signal in lawyer talk about 'don't waste our time with these theories that you are spouting out.'

I'm afraid that the disease of racism/fascism is endemic in American society and deeply, deeply rooted. It has surfaced in the GOP only because it was invited but is also prevalent in the Democratic party as well. Just not as well tolerated, but there nevertheless.

No point in hiding it I guess

Trump has gone from doctor to lawyer of course idiot should be in front of his name

Vikings suck and I really wish that CTV would not give us the Viking game each week.

And the ever popular "it's my opinion, I am entitled to it!"

Social media plays a big role in people turning out this way. Years ago the people with these lunatic ideas were publicly shunned and they had to keep the stupid to themselves but now you can find people online to agree with any position so they start to be open about it.

Now all we need is for Georgia to flip the Senate blue and we're good

He jumped before he was going to be pushed, but only after kissing up to Trump one more time. Stockholm syndrome?

AG Barr no more, not even a second after the Electoral College gives Biden the win Trump needs the spotlight back on him releasing a resignation letter by Barr praising Trump.

Its bound to go way down for Tuesday. People are not going to stand in line in -20 weather.

yeah, as nuts as America generally has been, for generations, this period is up there at the top of the scale. why the Democrats ignore this stuff is beyond me. stuff in the closet.

yup....the thing with it too...teams if they want will still operate under the same cap this year, may not spend it all, but have to at the least pay up to the floor

Viking fans are like Leaf fans...Next year is always their year! lol.

Easy to do when one is already covered

What is this "Pornhub" thing? Good move by them.

So, 4 years ago...... we started off with alternative facts and today, we now end with alternative electors. The moral and intellectual rot of the Republican party is now complete. As far as setting the bar - if you laid it on the ground, they would simply tunnel under it

The ‘Terrorgram’ Plot by Neo-Nazis to Seduce Anti-Vaxxers Safe and effective vaccines are finally here. So are white-nationalist fantasies of using diehard skeptics for their own even more twisted ends. As the United States crept towards authorizing the rollout of pharma giant Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine this weekend, millions of Americans cheered, ecstatic to see the nation take a key step towards the end of a brutal pandemic that has killed nearly 300,000 of their fellow citizens. The reaction from Corona Chan News (CCN) was decidedly more negative. CCN bombarded its readers on the messaging platform Telegram with links and commentary about the supposed dangers of taking a dose of the vaccine, which has in fact proven safe in major trials. Most of the links lead to articles from reputable sources analyzing, for instance, legitimate concerns about potential allergic reactions to the vaccine and discussing the details of a rollout. But the channel’s commentary spun these stories into evidence of nefarious plots to track, sterilize, or mutilate citizens. Within hours of a key FDA panel approving the vaccine’s U.S. debut on Thursday, the channel posted, “Here comes genocide."

You should watch the social dilemma on Netflix- it underscores the driving force of radicalization through Facebook and social media in general.

AND they hide behind (said in the stupidest voice) ‘It’s my freedom of speech you can’t censor me’. People of this mentality often confuse their perceived freedom to spew lies and absurdity with their freedom of speech. Their upbringing failed them.

It doesn’t really mean anything, but I love posting their won-loss record..

I would love to see the democrats turn the tables and demand audits of races Republicans won. Watch the GOP put the brakes on this right quick cause you know there are going to be irregularities found if you start to look closely at some of these areas.

Hey Brutus the Barber has quite the strut going off the stage, and then a wing nut takes the stage
