Donald Trump: I’m going to replace two, three, could even be four, and it could even be four Supreme Court judges. I mean, perhaps more than anyone. I even heard the scenario it can be five.
The Trump administration has outsourced federal judicial appointments to the right-wing Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation. What is the ideology at the center of Trump’s judicial strategy, the influence of the Koch brothers, and the corporate and social agenda the GOP wants their new judges to impose? As Congress has failed to effectively legislate, judges — with lifetime appointments — have become the most consequential policymakers in this country.

Bolivia Shows Why Imperialists Work To Keep Populations Propagandized
https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2020/10/20/bolivia-shows-why-imperialists
-work-to-keep-populations-propagandized/
Bolivia has reversed the US-backed coup which saw its leftist president Evo Morales ousted from the lithium-rich nation after a landslide victory last year. Another landslide victory for a previous member of Morales’ cabinet named Luis Arce has restored power to the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) party after a year of rule by the coup regime.
Contrary to what a recent Guardian headline asserts this was not a “stunning comeback” for MAS but a widely anticipated repudiation of the false claims that were spun by western narrative managers that Morales had rigged the election last year in a dictatorial assault upon democracy. Two landslide victories in as many years is neither “stunning” nor a “comeback”, it’s just the people decisively making their will known two times.
Bolivia is still not in the clear; the US-centralized empire still has plenty of other avenues of attack through which to sabotage the will of the Bolivian people, and we may be certain that we will see them rolled out in the coming years if that empire still stands. But people are right to celebrate the fact that its preferred and primary avenue of attack has been thwarted.
Which is a good illustration of why imperialists pour so much energy into using propaganda to manipulate what people think and do. If you can’t manipulate people into supporting your actions, they’ll just wind up undoing all your handiwork. A coup was undone yesterday in Bolivia, a coup was undone in Venezuela in 2002, and coups will continue to be undone every time the people have the power to enact their will and can’t be propagandized or brutalized away from using it.
The great elephant in the room, around which so much of the behavior of establishment power revolves, is that there are many more ordinary human beings than there are sociopathic dominators trying to exploit them. This fact rarely enters the minds of the rank-and-file citizenry, but for the manipulators responsible for engineering the continuation and expansion of the imperialist oligarchic status quo, it is always at the center of their attention.
The powerful fear the people. Always have, always will. They are at all times acutely aware that there’s not actually anything stopping the public from using the power of their numbers to take back everything their rulers stole from them and doing whatever they like to their former oppressors. We’re like a giant the size of a mountain who is in an abusive relationship with a tiny little man; we might not think too much about how we could squash him like an insect whenever we like, but he most certainly does.

To show how wrong-headed 6ix is, I will quote him:Quote:http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=63860&mid=11144
Covid is going to disappear next year one way or another.
In the alternate timeline where Biden wins, the Legacy Media will almost immediately stop talking about it and then it will slowly fall down the collective memory hole as other stories make people look the other way.
In our timeline where Trump wins, the Legacy Media will continue to lie about it and blow it way out of proportion, but eventually people are going to look around and face the reality that hardly anybody dies of this barely lethal virus and they look like a bunch of big, dumb, coward assholes wearing those masks all day long.

Fuck your article.
You're either purposefully missing my point and then twisting it, or you're as retarded as I believe you are.
I'm not going to post it again. I already did twice.
Either figure it out and apologize, or shut the fuck up about it.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

I remember when T celebrated and said "the good guys won today" when Macron won France. Ask the French how well that turned out for them.
You'll no doubt forget your little Bolivia cheerlead you're putting on display here by the time those chickens come home to roost...
But I won't.

Videos From Right-Wing Site That Preaches ‘The Left Ruins Everything’ Assigned In Ohio School
PragerU videos were recently assigned in an Ohio classroom. Turns out, the right-wing site is looking to further its influence in K-12 settings.

Reichwingers have always preached that schools are full of communist indoctrination. That's demonstrably not true, but they're so full of their own propaganda, they just keep repeating it like a bunch of Russian trolls.
But disinformation is OK if it's theirs.

This was both intelligent and informed.
History means something. And when you can remember it and watch others who forget doomed to repeat it over and over again, you can actually come off as quite prophetic in your predictions.
If you were about 2 IQ points lower than you are, you'd think I was doing magic.
But I'll give you and your pathetic brainlet the benefit of the doubt here and just call it a very educated guesstimate of what is to come.
Just like anything else, we'll have to wait a while before I can spit-roast you with all that crow.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Looking forward to that spit-roasting.
I hope you don't disappear after Trump wins so I get to rub this one in your face too.
