To explain why more internet censorship is needed to fight disinformation, here\u2019s a panel of millionaires who are paid to lie to you.<\/p>\n<p>\u2756<\/p>\n<p>Biden in 2020 is just Obama in 2008 if you aged him 30 years, made him white, and replaced all the hope and change talk with \u201cFuck you. No.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2756<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s presidency looks set to be worse than Obama\u2019s in every way. There will be a backlash against this. It is absolutely imperative\u00a0that the US left fight like never before to make sure it\u2019s more of a leftist backlash than a rightist one, or things will get very ugly.\u00a0If you don\u2019t take the fight to the libs, the right will. If you don\u2019t seize control of the dominant narrative, the right will. This is 100 percent guaranteed. You need to start dealing with this\u00a0<em>now<\/em>\u00a0unless you want something far uglier than Trump down the road in the near term.<\/p>\n<p>\u2756<\/p>\n<p>The longer they can keep you fixated on Trump\u2019s impotent post-election tantrum the longer they can keep you from noticing the incoming administration full of warmongers, corporate cronies and authoritarians currently setting up shop under the next president.<\/p>\n<p>\u2756<\/p>\n<p>A full withdrawal of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan would have been something. A partial withdrawal is just PR. If you\u2019re not making it difficult to simply put the troops back when you\u2019re gone, you\u2019re not doing anything.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To Be A Rich And Famous Journalist: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix Americans: healthcare please US government: Sorry did you say more war ships in the South China Sea?
