I see that it was deleted. I guess the mods thought it was too spicy. Anna, if it really rubbed you the wrong way, I’m sorry. I just just trying to match rapport.

Anna has been kinda indicative that she really actually dislikes me, but I thought she was being more playful...

Anna, peace. 🕊

You’re not an enemy in my mind. Tribal war is not my cup of tea.

Just leave me alone if you think you really hate me. It would fare better for everybody on so many levels. 👍

Sounds like Biden's the real enemy here, Messy & you mustn't forget that. Regarding your media feeds, seems like Biden & Trump are as bad as each other. It's just that maybe Trump's more honest about it; what do you think?

troller

 
you are a trawler in the green gold blue black  
sea i love.  
you are a trawler calling herself the ark of the covenant  
outfitted absurdly for war.  
the white dove you send flying  
wants to sleep in the sand.  
and your lines hang with rotten meat.  
you will catch no good fish today.

When Jesus Gave the Devils Free Speech

Better than sinners  
hiding behind a fig leaf
 
of socially acceptable  
filtered and censored beliefs  
 
are the devils  
 who get a voice  
 
Worse than unspoken love  
...that devil you don’t know  
 
mute and yet active  
destroying the show  
 
Silence just covers  
the enemy’s blows  
 
Even Jesus  
let the tongue free  
of devils warring with him  
 
asked them their name
before silencing them to shame
 
 
Because he knew  
revealing the damage  
of darkness is truth  
 
and it’s how we let  
the captives go free

Tim is a war journalist. He is doing commentary here but you’d have to challenge his facts.

I saw Biden say the same shit with his own mouth!!

So commentary is a reliable 'fact'?

Do the right wing/conservatives regardless of how close to the centre or how far from it, have the sole monopoly over people's welfare in their policies?

No, but I would watch it to see what he was quoting. He typically reads reports. Then I’d discuss. That’s all. *Shrug....*

Journalists, despite their bias, to give the user a perspective, present or at least seem to present both sides of the story. Objectivity is at least shown as to be attempted.
Opinion writing and commentary are not journalism.

It is not a twisted or other hidden metaphor laden question. It means what it reads.

The people have the monopoly. Or God does.

It’s not a partisan issue, regardless of opinions.

The people have parties, more than 2, who look after their causes.

There is a uniparty - full of neoliberal fake-wokes and neoconservative war-hawks - who seem agreeable across the isle with every bad policy, who would love to think they hold a monopoly.

I understand. I don’t disagree. I’m just saying to think Tim wouldn’t provide any evidence with his milk-toast perspective wouldn’t cross my mind.

Tim hardly has an opinion for many things but loves to interview and review.

It's not in dispute that people's welfare is at the heart of both left and right wings of political leanings just their methods/policies of getting there?

When liberals advocate for gay rights, the people’s welfare is being protected.  When the right advocates for religious liberty, the people’s welfare is at heart.

When neocons advocate for endless war, the people get hurt. When neolibs advocate for cancel-culture people get hurt.

I felt this was encouraging today in an odd sort of way. Relatable, even if I was never a Rush fan.
