    What a sad way for a former president to spend his retirement.

    It’s like that old telephone game we played in kindergarten. A phrase is whispered one-by-one through the whole class and the final person has to say out loud what they think they heard. Sometimes it could be on point, or at least very close. Other times, it would be horribly off.

    Rat is practicing his spreading of mis-information so he’ll be ready when he is elected as the California replacement Governor.

    Why not discuss it when you and Rat leave, Pig? I don’t think Goat’s gonna leave to spoil your moment.

    Instead of FOX News, we should have Goat News; less propaganda, more reality.

    Hedges are a permanent threat to harmony between neighbours. I think the devil himself invented the things.

    Rat reminds me of my ex. I got to where I couldn’t stand to listen to him retell any event. It was like, in what part of your brain did any of that actually occur?

    Speaking of accuracy, USAToday had to issue and apology for their “Fact Checker” falsely claiming that Biden only looked at his watch AFTER all the caskets were unloaded, thereby directly contradicting what the families and other witnesses saw. USAToday has said “We’re sorry”, but then said the claim is “missing context”. Videos clearly show him looking at his watch .. multiple times WHILE the caskets were unloaded. A blind person could see the truth.

    The writer of the False “Fact Check” apologized but then kept going and inflamed people again. Liberals can’t defend Biden so they are trying to figure a way to “Blame Trump” somehow, someway. I am confident they will do it, no matter what. Some are still denying it as it wasn’t on their news media. Shame people can’t look at various media to put the whole truth together. All media has their biases.

    That’s today’s media in a nutshell. And I can tell by today’s comments that they’re being very successful at dividing us. You people are ALL fools regardless of which media you follow!

    Interesting how Pastis is supporting Trump. First he has Rat playing Biden get overthrown by a military coup and now he explains how the Leftist media constantly disparaged President Trump.

    So, President Rat has been ousted by a military coup. Who replaced him, Vice President Rat or someone the military installed? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Once a (now former) priest told me that in Confession, the most common “sins” confessed are dirty thoughts by men, and gossiping by women.

    Modern news shows don’t have to lie; just omit any mention of an event which makes their preferred ideology/political candidate look bad. Most shows no longer report all the news, they curate it.

    The irony is the same people who claim accuracy matters will go on and on about “Trump said to drink bleach” which never happened, it’s a good example of what Rat is doing here. But they repeat it because they want to believe the lie, which is worse.

    I agree with poor Goat; living in a world where social media and the news are all gossip and no accuracy sucks.

    That’s the difference between gossip and the truth. According to gossip, my high school teachers were pot-smoking, alcoholic, sex offenders.
