Here's @aaronjmate -- who got his start working at @DemocracyNow and used to regard it as the best and most important news outlet -- talking about how its politics & journalism completely changed and decayed in the Trump era. Judge the evidence yourself:

What Fauci says here is absurd. That COVID is a public health crisis doesn't mean it "has nothing to do with civil liberties." Of course lockdowns, mandates, vaccine passports, etc. affect civil liberties. Doesn't mean those rights should always prevail, but denying that is inane

Quote
The Recount
@therecount   Â· 4h

Fauci addresses the hearing this week in which Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) tried picking a fight: "I don't enjoy those kinds of confrontations.

"But it was very, very clear that he was talking about liberties that were being restricted. This has nothing to do with liberties."

The way Fauci is talking here -- civil liberties concerns don't matter when we're talking about the risk of death -- is exactly the mentality of the Cheney/Rove Warriors on Terror: we can't concern ourselves with civil liberties when lives are on the line.

Just compare the bullshit mentality that Fauci is pushing here -- that civil liberties are irrelevant when we're talking about mass death -- to how Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) brushed aside civil liberties in 2005 to defend the War on Terror:

To be clear: I think COVID is a serious crisis - come to Brazil if you have doubts - and some draconian measures have been and are justified, but denying there's civil liberties concerns to all of this is just deceit.

One last point: if there are really good epidemiological reasons why people who are fully vaccinated should continue to wear masks and avoid things like indoor dining, then Fauci and other government officials need to do a much better job of articulating that rationale.

We must ask again: What does Putin have on Biden????

Quote
Garry Kasparov
@Kasparov63   Â· Apr 17

Biden applies sanctions on Russia, but declines to mention Navalny and pulls ships back from the Black Sea so as not to anger Putin in a hopeless quest for “de-escalation”. In response, Putin criminalizes Navalny’s org and closes the Kerch Strait to cut off Ukraine.

They didn't care about "..the bottom line".  Somebody/something was reimbursing them.  Even the 'Promise' of quid pro quo can set the daily talking points when you're a multi-company corporation controlling information/news.

What they do care about is making sure that their pipelines out of the public treasury remain intact and they can only do that if they are in charge!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Putin doesn't have anything on Biden.  It is just that Biden is really that incompetent.  Throughout his entire political career, he has a 100% perfect record of choosing the wrong policy when it comes to foreign policy.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

I’ve been watching Peter Rabbit and Paddington Bear with my son - and I genuinely prefer kids movies to regular films. Simple and good.

Morality is actually easy to explain, we just overthink our way out of it to make excuses for our immoral nature.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
