@Duluth
I've always wondered what the chain of command is in these media decisions as to who they support.Who is ultimately deciding?
Are they indirectly in contact with the DNC through surrogates with the DNC looking hard at internal polling?
Is it Dem donors calling the shots?
Or is it the heads of the media agencies themselves?I know when Trump first ran Fox were against him, but his popularity with the Repub' base was so overwhelming that they had no choice but to get on board.
The Dems are in a bit of a pickle.
Bloomberg is 77 but may appear younger than Biden.
He will take votes from Biden's - which means Biden is done.
Sanders is too far left and not supported by left wing establishment media.Warren looks the best bet but has not appeared on national stage campaigning yet. I would say her personality is quite phony.
She is smart in an intellectual way, but she comes across as goofy.If nominated, she either sells out progressives or loses the swing states.

So the apparent Whistle-blower in the whole Ukraine impeachment saga has been named in media for a few days now and there are questions about links to the Dems and Biden. Youtube and especially Facebook has been going 'scorched earth' removing posts with his name and in some cases banning them.
What a delightful time to be alive.

Wasn't sure where to post the following so trolled through the politics forum and this seems closest.
I think this is a pretty fair reflection on in grained ideologies, and worth sharing.

Interesting that two stories down on the Herald web site was a whinge fest about Anna Paquin not getting enough lines in a story about someone who isn't her character because misogyny.

Tim pool raised an interesting point , this is a guy who has a huge ego and likes people loving him . If the left hadn’t turned on him right from the start- they never gave him a chance in particular the left wing media - they probably could have got some serious policy wins out of him by now . I’m sure he would love a more effective health insurance system to be called Trumpcare for example.
Instead we’ve had news outlets , the dems and the entertainment industry using him as a way to gain attention for themselves. I think maybe in the analysis of the Trump presidency after he leaves office in 2024 that’s something that really needs to be owned by the various cretins who used his presidency for their own ends .Stephen Colbert who just cost us $100000 is a perfect example , he was on the verge of being dumped on his show for James Corden till he started thrashwanking every night about Trump and now his tired act is suddenly relevant

Was talking to a friend tonight who is a surgeon in LA. His colleague was asked to cut the breast buds out of a four year old this week. A four year old. Fucking crazy.
I have partied with trans people in London, good times all around. This shit is insane.

What the fuck ? Did he do the surgery? Ethical considerations aside there’s got to be a huge lawsuit from the kid when they grow up

@jegga Absolutely not, and he reported the parents to everyone he could as abusers.
Really disgusting.
He's a burn victim specialist. Not a child abuser (he was really angry about the request)
I’m not sure if you’ve heard of that tv show I am Jazz . The mother is a real piece of work and I’m sure if she left the kid alone he would have grown up to be gay not trans but then mum wouldn’t have got a tv deal etcetc . Anyway because Jazz was on hormone blockers they had to make a vagina out of stomach parts . They did a show about the surgery and of course the surgery didn’t work and Jazz live tweeted what was going on as her body rejected it .

Crazy? No actually I think that goes straight to evil.

Good on him, there are more and more kids now coming to grips with what has happened to them and are expressing regret and anger. I just cannot believe this stuff is happening.

Naming the flute tootler now sees you get punished in Twitter, Youtube and Facebook. Wikipedia have also removed references. God bless big tech and their control over our society.
I wonder if the same people getting upset over these companies censoring would have the same outrage if the roles were reversed? I can't help but feel they'd be having a collective apoplexy if a Republican whistleblower was being outed and subjected to doxxing.

err that has already happened.... and the media attacked the whistleblower.
No whistleblower has ever stayed anonymous.

If the Dems vote to impeach - it goes to the Senate and the Republicans will control the process.
They will open up all the Dem-Ukraine connections during the 2016 election, call whoever the fuck they want to testify (Bidens Joe and Hunter, Schiff, the whistleblower etc.)
And they will force Senators Warren and Sanders to be present for all sessions of the trial which will probably last at least a few months.
This will prevent them from campaigning.
