    Been harping on it for some years now, as the victims say "lol, you think I've been brainwashed..."

    Watching the narratives is the entertainment. We've reached the absurd.

    Mainly in how accurate Orwell predicted it.

    Indeed. This recent example is a good one, and you ran dutifully with MSNBC's marching order.

    Chuck spitting out one of the left's talking point wasn't surprising, but I got to looking at the recent main narratives from each side:

    Left:

    Trump is weird (this one comes directly from Walz)
    Trump made an awkward gesture (we'll get this the rest of the week)
    238 Bush, McCain and Romney GOP types endorse Harris.
    Trump is, and will always be a danger to democracy.
    Project 2025 is Trump's latest scheme to destroy democracy.
    Kamala is super popular and beloved. Ignore all that "worst VP ever" stuff.

    Right:

    Why hasn't Kamala released her policies?
    Why is Kamala stealing Trump's no tax on tips policy?
    Fixing prices doesn't fix prices. It creates starvation.
    Tax on "unrealized capital gains" is catastrophically stupid.

    Meanwhile, armed Venezuelan illegal immigrant gangs have taken over parts of Aurora Colorado.

    Looking forward to today's "interview" to see how the floozie and town drunk can manage the softball questions they have received in advance from their friendly CNN host.
    No doubt the left, the mainstream media and our very own Stooges will fawn all over her.

    Dems should have sent the de facto current President, Obama.
    He could have acted as if the Administration cares about our fallen soldiers.

    Like @dneal and seny, only replies are false equivalencies or what about this!

    Chuck, blissfully unaware of the topic, inadvertently presents an example.

    The more you post the more you expose yourself @dneal. Seny will post soon. Give him a call and let him know the Three Stooges are giving you a hard time.

    Chuck, while you're still trying to understand the topic, you might consider the irony of post #8, 15, and the one quoted above.
