    Who Really Benefits From All The Political Infighting?

    One thing is sure . . .

    There can be little doubt that the cable channels and print media are raking in the dough from commercials and ads while covering the internecine warfare within both bodies on both sides of the ticket.

     

    We are truly looked upon as sheep.

    There it is.


    Oh I awoke from my senile nap and there was my favorite Senator (Al Franken) along with one of my favorite comedians (Sarah Silverman). 

    And then Paul Simon came on to sing Bridge Over Troubled Waters.

    That was goooooooooood.

    I am still waking up.


    Dick Day... Oh well . . .

    There's no more need for that Bernie Bear.


    ~OGD~


    Bernie is making the case for Hillary. I applaud him. This is a leader.


    Yup. He did it.

    We're on our way!


    I AGREE TOO RMRD.

    But the speech of the evening belongs to Michelle Obama!

    Michelle led the way and things got quieter (expect for applause of course) and more agreeable as it were, through her speech.

    I was amazed. MSNBC has elected Michelle as speaker of the day.

    And that is all right with me.

    Oh, and the intro to Senator Warren by Congressman Kennedy was woundrous.

    And at that time, there was disruption and booing and...

    But this Kennedy guy spoke about his first day in law school and being confronted by his new professor--Warren. If he was lying, fuck him. But I doubt this. 

    Anyway...

    But Joseph Kennedy III just got to me tonight.

     

     

     

    I LIKE THIS GUY! 


    The day ended on a good note. There are enough of us energized to elect Hillary. It is a good day

    (Note: This elation does not mean that I still cannot grumble from time to time)


    You're making me dizzy.wink


    Yeah, I grumble all the time. hahahahah

    But damn, we have the worst villain in US History facing us; I mean guys like Wallace could never run again!

    Except of course, Wallace is running again. hahahahahah

    Separation now, Separation forever?


    OMG..Scott Pelley is CBS Evening News anchor?  And he asked this question below? . It is clear 'who benefits' from stirring the pot of political bullshit. Our corporate executive TV infotainers and the corporations that employ them....from cartoonist Tom Toles WaPo:

    I saw a bit of Scott Pelley’s interview with Hilary and Tim Kaine......he asked a pretty dumb question about her honesty. He quoted a voter who talked about some ‘corruption problem.’ Pelley’s question to Hillary, “Why do you think people say that about you?”

    ....Let’s back up to what preceded the question. The unidentified man had said to Pelley “You know, I guess I would vote for Hillary except for that corruption problem.” Then Pelley said to Hillary, “As I talked to him further, he didn’t quite know what he meant by that.” So there you have it. A national TV anchor quoting an unidentified man who admitted to not knowing what he meant is cited as the evidence that Hillary has a corruption problem.....

    ... it might be worth mentioning that the way the Big Lie works is through constant repetition. Fact checkers have repeatedly found that Hillary’s statements are FAR more truthful than her Republican opponent Donald Trump.

    In this election, the question should have been, “Are you gratified that the record shows you to be the runaway winner in the honesty department this year?”

     

     


    NCD... Oh well . . .

    CBS needs something to catch people to sell that dog food.

     

    If they'll believe Pelley they'll believe a talking dog

     

    ~OGD~


    well...dogs are honest.....they crap on grass, not all over tv, idea: let Pelley be the chow hound, he can't lie and chew can he....?


    Yes NCD ...

    I too like dogs for their honesty.

    Especially those that pick-up after themselves...

    ~OGD~


    OGD,

    I am pretty sure that is a Civil Service dog cleaning up after a canine who probably isn't aware that he leaves such material behind.
