Prickly City by Scott Stantis for January 24, 2024

They care nothing about us but the vote, then they forget until the next election

“The best thing about the pandemic is that I don’t have to shake hands with those disgusting people.”

Republicans are selling us out for orange make up wearing, totally insane criminal, Putin loving traitor Trump the mentally ill fascist who tried to overthrow the last election.

Do you use that line every election? It just reeks, there is a very clear choice clouded by all kinds of lies.

We are all going to market.

That’s part of the problem; the politicians get to pick the voters rather than the other way around.

FALSE EQUIVALENCY ALERT!!!!!

What does false equivalency alert actually mean ?

It took you until now to figure that out?

I’ve always liked Biden. I’m perfectly happy with him. Anyone on the other side from Republicans will be demonized. It’s not possible to be good enough. Some extremely charismatic figures were semi-immune. I was shocked to learn that, within their bubble, they thought Obama was incompetent. Republicans have their own reality.

I personally don’t have a dog in this hunt. If President Biden and Donald Trump are the best the country can put forward……. I am however, sick and tired of the hackneyed comments that are put forth as gospel to prop up one candidate or the other. The following is a quote from a Snopes article dated Oct 4 2023." In sum, the claim stemmed from a story by The Atlantic, which relied on anonymous, second-hand reports of Trump’s alleged words; there was no independent footage or documented proof to substantiate the in-question comments; and Trump vehemently denies that he once called service members “losers” and “suckers.” While it was certainly possible that he said those things, Snopes was unable to independently verify the claim."

Time to stand up and be counted.
