Oh, so they weren't Dominion machines in Georgia?

Does anyone else read a lot of this recent stuff and think that old rich white men are starting to panic and making desperate big moves in an effort to not let it all slip away?
Is it racist to say that?

Problem is that Bernie and Biden though were 'old rich white men' ...
Racist? no clue ... Based on how I know you? No.
It's odd, having lived in NY during 9/11 ... seeing Guiliani like this just makes me sad. What happened to that leader? Such a fall.
Well I obviously am not suggesting it's all the old rich white men. That would definitely be racist.Problem is that Bernie and Biden though were 'old rich white men' ...

I completely agree with you about Gulliani. It's fascinating to watch him now and think he's the same person that media convinced us was a sensible and great leader.
Did he change, or did the narrative change?
Syphilis?Interesting re: re-set. I think humanity hasn't changed much since 'day 1' - we just need to re-set how we approach each other. You know, be nice people. Do that, and we'll be ok.
I honestly have no clue what changed - but it's just such a fall.
It's what happens if you hitch your wagon to Trump. Graham is going the same way.Interesting re: re-set. I think humanity hasn't changed much since 'day 1' - we just need to re-set how we approach each other. You know, be nice people. Do that, and we'll be ok.

I just keep having that thought, from this, to the great reset, to dantes posts about East vs West education.

I was in New York for weeks here and there between 99 and 01 and everyone I hung round with thought he was a massive twat who took all the glory for stuff other people did, and was particularly vicious towards more vulnerable people.
Ultimately, being nice to each other is incongruous with how we define happiness and success in the current systems.Interesting re: re-set. I think humanity hasn't changed much since 'day 1' - we just need to re-set how we approach each other. You know, be nice people. Do that, and we'll be ok.

I can believe that now. At the time, all we were fed via the media was how much of a hero he was. From broken windows to 9/11, he was held up as an example of leadership.
I actually attended a conference once which was all about the best leadership qualities and examples of humble servitude. They highlighted Mandela, and Guilliani.
You're saying that because CNN agree with your broad political stance, and Fox do not, which gives an illusion of one being slightly more useful than the other. In reality they are both total garbage.
4 years ago he was seen as one of the politicians with the most integrity. Best buds with John McCain.
Openly called Donald Trump a "xenophobic, race-baiting, religious bigot".
Now he is Trump's biggest defender in Congress.
A mighty mighty fall for him too.
Nah. I'm saying that because I watch both with a level head and Fox has gone mad since Trump took office.
Both used to be about pure propaganda, the left vs the right. It was somewhat balanced. They were 2 sides of the same coin. I had time for hearing both sides of the argument. CNN hammered republicans. Fox hammered democrats. It was fair game.
But since Trump's appointment, Fox has fallen off a cliff in terms of irresponsible reporting. Now whilst I do believe Trump is "America first" (well, second really, after securing his own pockets first), and if I was an American looking to protect my wealth, I'd think his economic policies were far better than the Democrats economic, globalist, one world order agenda.
You see, I don't mind Fox reporting that, or some of their right wing points. Philosophical differences over policies is fine and should be encouraged.
But it's been much more than that these past 4 years. He's forced Fox, and the right-wing media in general, to look sooooo irrational and lunatic; constantly trying to back his ridiculous tweeting and then write the most speculative of narratives to make him look "presidential".
I've not seen CNN bend over for a democratic president in the same way that Fox have openly done for Trump whilst he's been in office. Like we always knew both channels were biased, but Trump really lifted the lid on it, made if very obvious that Fox were, willingly, his mouthpiece for propagating so much fake news and disinformation. Trump ushered in the "fake news/disinformation" era and I'm not sure we'll ever recover from it.
Before he got into office, they were reporting a lot more responsibly. When they didn't think he would win, and had backed Jeb Bush, they were calling out his BS. But then as soon as he they bent over and spread their cheeks. It's funny, that since he's been voted out, they look like they're slowly moving back towards the some form of responsible journalism. But the damage they've done may be irreparable.
As Republicans are no longer Republicans, they're Trump supporters, such has been the level of brainwashing by the Fox machine to paint him as the next coming of Jesus. These people are now so far gone, they're actually rejecting the same machine that brainwashed them in the first place, by calling Fox "fake news" because they're actually reporting some truth for a change. i.e. Joe Biden is the President-elect. It's like some delicious karma.
Fox viewers are jumping ship to watching NewsMax and OANN, because they're no longer getting enough fake news they want to hear from Fox. You couldn't make it up.
So, how is this lame attempt of a coup d'etat going?
There's a woman who Mrs Athens is friends with on facebook. She's American and lives in Louisiana, she used to teach English here in Greece, that's how my wife knows here. Anyway, before Obama V McCain election she was pro-McCain and metioning how much of a patriot and hero he was. Now she's a complete Trump lunatic, thinks there is no instituttional racism, Covid isn't that bad and that all Europeans are brainwashed.
I dunno, I might have to find out. I wouldn't be surprised if she was.Is she also prepping? As in expecting the apocalypse, water shortages, fights over food and property, socialist government oppression? So stocking up on supplies, weapons, and obscene amounts of ammo.
