No matter who is on the TV mike there is always a bunch of people standing behind them doing and saying nothing. A police chief giving the latest on a crime must have a group just standing there. Politicians, too. Has anyone else but me wondered how these people are chosen to stand there like a back drop curtain? Why are they there? Bugs me.

Your preception happens to be your reality.

“Reality is to be treated as a lie.” Isn’t that the Michelle Bachmann t-shirt? No, wait. In her world, lies are reality.

Funny strip.
P.S. You’d be a fool to use Doonesbury as proof of your politics. It’s for laughing at your opponent, not pounding them into the ground with radio talk show soundbites.

mythreesons: has it occurred to you that the televised portion of any event is just a few seconds? That people have been doing other things, as a group for some time before the camera is turned on?

Thanks for the good laugh.

“We should thank Trudeau for showing us all the complete lack of substance that is liberalism. All is phony. Reality is to be treated as a lie. Facts are to be destroyed at all cost. Liberalism is as real as a Star Trek Hollodeck.”.****************************************Troll alert!

“…..Sorry, Republicans AND Democrats, but that’s just the way it is!And, no name calling in the comments, because deep down, you know that it’s true! MONEY is the true arbiter of Political decisions nowadays!it’s sad, but it’s TRUE!”. ***************************************There is a lot of truth in what you say.I don’t consider myself a Republican nor a Democrat. I tend to vote for the guy\woman whose beliefs are more like my own. My guy won!)

“I realize it is hard to ignore the nasty sounds the thing makes, but if everyone ignores it then it will crawl back under its’ bridge where it belongs”.***********************************.Can’t argue with that.

Interesting to see an attempt to show part of Elizabeth Warren’s face. Can’t resist showing the glasses, I guess. Poor Joanie. She is the real deal and isn’t being appreciated for it by the younger generation… She will have her day in the sun, no worries.

Joanie has to realize that acting and thinking like an MSNBC person means you are far, far away from reality.

_"…when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."That one comes from Karl Rove, who is the posterboy for conservative hubris. Bogus pre-emptive wars, trickle down economics, job creators, unrestricted capitalism… all conservative failures.

Got it backwards again, the Cons, including our our President, show Conservatism is a failure and more people agree
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Maybe ask Greece, Portugal and Italy how liberalism has worked for them.

You mean our former President?

Governor of our state visited where I work. Had every minority and disabled person on the platform behind them for photo ops. I figure that they’re there because the politician wishes to appear sensitive and caring (as if). And prepared questions from three people in the audience. How do I know that they were prepared? I was one of the three.

Don’t be discouraged by the trolls. They repeat the “screaming points” of their plutocratic Lords because they are paid to do so — sitting in their cubicles in their vast troll bunkers. They charge their masters dearly to destroy. They build nothing. But their noise is not based on facts, so just keep from getting discouraged, get out the vote by the citizens who truly own Our Government, and we will be fine.

@calimesajimDid you get distracted by Joanie also, and forget to post your usual rant?
