A Liberal Atheist, mostly here to follow news and politics.

I'm not Paranoid, everyone just wants me to think I am.

I plan to stop procrastinating... One of these days.
Addison Mitchell "Mitch" McConnell is responsible for many dirty deeds (NOT done dirt cheap) that came at a high cost to the country, but, if I could pick just one, it was this big one, that branched off into to distinct big problems that led us to where we are now...

Watching MSNBC tonight, and they are talking about the elections tomorrow (w/music), and something hit me. The worst part about them separating from the NBC network in 12 days and becoming MS NOW, they will likely lose that iconic election music that both networks have shared for the past 21 years.

Obama was right again. 14 and 1/2 years ago, he showed how if Trump were President, he would make the White House Gaudy! First it was all the tacky gold bling in the Oval, and now this shit!

Check for the video link in the first comment.

That is the best course of action, and will likely hurt some of their feelings if they get blocked!

Bullies don't like it much when they can't do bully stuff!

Here are ideas for people planning to attend a No Kings rally on Saturday, to help protect info about yourself, in case you are targeted for harassment by any opposition.

I'm an Atheist, but even I know the stories.

Damn! It's worse than I thought in Chicago, just saw a video with Pritzker saying they're having to eat hot dogs, with ketchup!

Egads!

Ok, I know that's a Chi-Town thing, I actually like Ketchup, Mustard, Onions and Relish on hot dogs, but for Chicagonians to need to resort to that, pure horror!

This might be more of a reality than a joke.

I had just stepped out of the Freightliner Cascada that my employer provides for my use while working, when I saw this post.

Here is the sticker on the door jam...

I was thinking about ordering some Steak n Shake, when I noticed they had new merch.

Then I decided to get a burger elsewhere.

Turns out this Biglari guy, the CEO/owner, is a huge Trumper. I didn't previously know.

Sinclair followed suit with Nexstar, here is what they own...

One of the things that triggered Kimmel's show getting yanked, was Nexstar deciding not to air Kimmel's show on their local ABC affiliate stations, here's what Nexstar owns...

REF: Kimmel

Among other things, media consolidation has another bad effect, it makes boycotting a company difficult to do, without an extended sacrifice across a much wider spectrum.

But, sometimes you need to sacrifice a little to make your voice heard.

To fully boycott ABC, also boycott...

No, the Fairness Doctrine was repealed in 1987, Limbaugh went into syndication the following year in 1988.

That was one of the points of my first comment on this thread.

The repeal of the FD paved the way for Rush Limbaugh.

Oops, that was the wrong screen capture...

Yes, he was syndicated in 1988, but after the TA of 1996, Clear Channel bought more stations to put his show on. Many of those were powerful legacy AM stations at the time. That falls right in line with his rise in station/listener count in the late 1990's.

You also may want to brush up on the history of "YOUR" industry before you decide to go all keyboard warrior.

Capitalism is such a wonderful thing, there's always an opportunity to make a buck on just about anything.

Charlie Kirk merch coming to a grey market near you soon!

After the shooting of Charlie Kirk, if he doesn't pull through, at least we can take comfort knowing that he would be OK with it.

In advance, I'm sorry for posting this way. Sometimes social media with character limits is not conducive to my activities.

The first 3 frames are my words put into graphic form for easier consumption. The last frame is from Google AI.
