This one? I kind of liked it. Oh well.

Yeah, and I was "Time Magazine person of the year" in 2006. I put that on my resume, actually. It's a fun conversation-starter.

Serious question, does china own part of cnn stock?

Serious question, does china own part of cnn stock?

There is a connection:

https://patrick.net/post/1332004/2020-05-06-has-china-compromised-every-major-mainstream-media-entity

CNN is owned and operated by WarnerMedia, which has significant financial and institutional ties to the CCP. In June 2013, WarnerMedia announced it had forged a partnership with a Chinese investment fund to the tune of $50 million. The funding would directly invest in the China Media Capital (CMC), a media company with oversight from the CCP, meaning it is subject to censorship and other demands to push Chinese propaganda.

WarnerMedia considers China a “partner” in their economic and cinematic ventures.

He's knows better than to fund a state knee deep in something much more deadly..

If you don't like a business's policy, don't do business there. Wearing a face mask does not inhibit your freedom unless you choose to allow it to.

To some degree the businesses are trapped though, and have to refuse you service if you do not bow to the #fearporn. They could be shut down by the agents of fear otherwise.

I really could not believe that I am not allowed to order coffee from even 20 feet away outdoors if I don't submit to the scientifically pointless humiliation of a mask, but it's true.

The officials who ORDER us to wear masks outdoors should definitely be shot.

Dr. Bandy X. Lee says Trump is "practicing 'total authority' and putting his armed troops in the streets"

Really?
jazz_music says

"Subconsciously, it is a loyalty test for the people," Lee said. "In Africa, where I did some ethnographic work, child soldiers would be recruited and made to kill a family member to demonstrate their allegiance to the government and not to the family. Similarly, in urban gangs in America, one may be challenged to kill a police officer to prove one's willingness to uphold gang rules over societal rules.

SO. Are they saying the Trump people may be asked to kill cops? I don't get it.

jazz_music says

The more he abuses them, the greater their devotion grows,

How, exactly has Trump abused you? He has not abused me.

jazz_music says

His supporters will be the most severely traumatized, if they are able to wake up at all.

No. We're wide awake and aware of the deep state's hatred of our duly elected president.

How will we cope with the fact that a mentally compromised president caused a devastating pandemic

jazz_music says

How will we cope with his economic destruction,

Trump's not the democratic governor that won't reopen.
jazz_music says

Why do you think otherwise intelligent people are sometimes drawn to rhetoric suggesting the threat of a highly infectious and deadly virus is overhyped

Now there is the question! We were asked to flatten the curve for two weeks so that the millions that WOULD die will be spread out over time. Two and a half months and less than 100k dead and we are told that now we must wait for a vaccine.
jazz_music says

It is not up to mental health experts to say how it is to be done, but it is our responsibility to say what must be done, based on our best assessment. Our prescription is removal. Since issuing this prescription a month ago, I have repeatedly written about it and am waiting for the authorities to respond. And as with a viral pandemic, time translates to lives.

This author is suffering from a severe case of TDS. They were against Trump from the beginning and,if a doctor, are violating ethical rules about diagnosing from a distance.
I fear thousands will die from TDS and millions will die with TDS. It seems incurable.

Thanks for that laugh!

Gotta mention this one:

Kevin Washington (Mwata Kairi), Ph.D., is a licensed African-centered psychologist in Florida and Washington, DC. NewsOne, Essence Magazine, Black Entertainment Television (BET) News, Vocal Point and many other national and international organizations have sought his expertise in the area of cultural matters and mental health. He is the immediate past president of the Association of Black Psychologists and is head of the Sociology and Psychology Department at Grambling State University. He examines cultural and historical trauma of people who are impacted by Persistent Enslavement Systemic Trauma (PEST), and a founder of Ubuntu Psychotherapy (Psychology), he advances a culturally-sensitive mental health counseling and psychotherapy.

I'm at the point of if you want to wear a mask and would shame someone else for not, just stay the fuck home. I'll let them know that as well in the loudest voice possible. I didn't come pre-installed with an embarrassment gene, so it's fun for me.

jazz_music says

I have a life.

So you got nothing but TDS.

jazz_music says

TDS
Trump Defender Syndrome

It's Trump Derangement Syndrome. You can't redefine it just because you suffer from it. It is what it is.

There’s only one thing more ridiculous than an average salon article, and that’s the mind of anyone who would share such an article as proof of anything other than personal insanity.
Truly the cultists who work and worship at the altar of TDS are probably incurable. All that’s left for them is to serve out the Koolaide!

The psychiatrist may be right, xe PROBABLY is right, but that does not change the fact that protesters, while looking like "urban gangs" are 1. absolutely within their rights to protest, and 2. are completely right about reopening NOW.

So, another article which makes fun of relatively poor, uneducated people just because of how they look and behave. Does not matter if the poor people are factually correct about what they protest...and after that the "elites" wonder why people hate them. Wait until hate becomes like on May 5, 1789...I am sure those scruffy, smelly peasants also looked like "uneducated rural gangs"

You know that old saying @stupud is what stupid does”? Well, left likes to show us their stupidity by showing just how stupid they are. They go out of their way to do it. It’s an easy way to identify truly retarded.

So silly.

Everyone knows "only the left is violent."

Everyone knows "only the left is violent."

did these protesters hurt anything other than MI governor's feewings?

jazz_music says

"When Donald Trump suggests that the virus be taken as a 'hoax', that people gather in churches or that people protest for their own sacrifice, he is actually testing people's loyalty to the 'laws' of his mind over the laws of nature, or even impulse for survival. The more he abuses them, the greater their devotion grows, since the psychological cost of admitting their mistake is ever higher — and so it becomes easier to dig a well of unreality than to see the obvious truth.

Not looking good for the cult of Trumpanzees

You guys already did the Chimp Thing with that other Hitler, Dubya Bush. Gotta stay fresh and use something else.

Although saying "Stay Fresh" to stinky lefties is generally pointless.

Sure, but I've been inside many business's, big and small, who just don't say anything when I walk in without a mask. And if they do, yes it's stupid, but it's not the end of the world. And if I really don't like it, there are other stores to choose from, or shop online.

I don't know why people use crossword puzzles as badges of genius. It is just another acquired skill based on practice and exposure. Maybe better than average literacy, but that's about it.

Pretty damn interesting.

None of the people that need to read the article will. The polarization only grows. Scary scary stuff.

This is so disgusting I may not be able to enjoy my glass of bat puree for lunch.

marcus says

Left assaults regular everyday people. Right stands up to big government. I’m sure you are a big boy and can figure out the difference.

A lot of nut jobs have peddled lies to Americans before, and even styled themselves as messianic.

Is that a reference to Obama, Hilary or Fauci?

These numbers, and the Democrat fraud and lock-down tyranny causing these numbers, are the reasons why Trump will be re-elected, whereas the 'rat party will be demolished.

Latimes "feel that sting, that's pride messing with ya!"

Trump trumps all things Liberal and it sucks to be them, deal with it!

BTW, Steve Hassan participated in that crazy World Psych Committee or whatever it's called on that other thread, the one with that Yale PhD on board.

It wasn't the Covid that laid him to rest, it was the policy of the Low Fat high heel boys.

A vast majority of those who were happy Trump won were more relieved that there would not be a continuation of Obama's open border, pro-ChiCom, globalist, authoritarian and criminal IRS and FBI, etc policies.

It was not a feeling of a cult toward a cult leader as white liberals and African Americans worship Obama, but just a sense of relief that Trump won.

jazz_music says

This happened in France! Truth

What, a goofy protester in France. Merde! I am shocked, shocked, to find retarded Leftists in France.

I don’t know if Trump knows how to use mind control, but he sure has gotten in Steven Hassan’s head.

Ironically it will sell some copies because of Trump’s fame, not the author’s.

jazz_music says

“A loved one … sat down in front of Fox News, found some kind of deep, addictive comfort in the anger and paranoia, and became a different person.”

Sounds about right.

I'm happy to say that my republican friends, and I think family that voted for Trump and may again are not like this.

But there are definitely some around here that fit the pattern. It all started before Trump, but it's gone way too far at this point.

Sadly, I don't see how we get out of the vicious cycle, without an even worse level and kind of authoritarianism ( and yes even the dreaded taking your guns way). That's the aspect of causing increasing polarization that is completely lost on the right wingers.

TDS symptoms are still there I see. Lol!
