The Democratic Safe House

[stamperben]

Can't find where I said I'd post some facts about Jill Stein and an anti-vax position she's supposed to have taken, but here's the Snopes on it...

CLAIM: Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein has stated that she opposes the use of vaccines.

False

She's not anti-vaccine, but...
From Orac:

I actually agree that it isn’t black and white. Here’s the problem. By declaring the criticisms of Dr. Stein as antivaccine as unequivocally false, Snopes made it black and white. The very best spin one can put on Dr. Stein’s statements is that she is pandering to antivaccine activists. That’s the very best spin. The worst spin is that she is antivaccine. Thus, it’s not editorializing to conclude that the contention that Jill Stein is antivaccine is at least partially true, because that’s what the evidence is most consistent with. She’s parroted antivaccine talking points. There is no denying that.​

Well, we have all seen how the NYTimes, the Washington Post, Politifact, Snopes, etc. have been falsely labeled unreliable and blindly partisan, but here (pantheos) is an actual list of leftie sites that should not be used as reference material:

Occupy Democrats
Bipartisan Report
Winning Democrats
PoliticusUSA
Blue Nation Review
IfYouOnlyNews
USUncut
The Freethought Project
Addicting Info
LiberalAmerica
Newslo
Politicalo (almost anything that ends on lo; these sites specialize in taking accurate statements from politicians and then adding false quotes to them that are much worse than what they actually said)
DailyNewsBin
American News X
Being Liberal
The Other 98%​

The author, Ed Brayton, compares them to Breitbart, NewsMax & WND. The Observer, by the way, is published by Jared Kushner, Trump's SIL, so if the featured headlines weren't enough to give it away, that should be.

I find Occupy Democrats to be questionable at times.

But NY Times, Washington Post, Politifact, Fact Check.org, Snopes, and quite a few others are good.


Now Breitbart is a joke of a site and so is Info wars/

Snopes has been good for intercepting some of the smear campaigns that have come up in recent years.

I joined The Bipartisan Report page on FB, and I was expecting to hear from both sides like with Independent Voter. But I would oftentimes see the same headlines on their articles that I did from left wing sites.

Somehow my dog got on Trump's mailing list. They've really ratcheted up the appeals this last week. Even after unsubscribing, she's getting five - seven appeals a day.

From Eric Trump:

Tomorrow night’s deadline is your last chance of the entire election to get your name on our official FEC report.

I will be giving my father a list of everyone who stepped up to make a contribution at this critical moment in our campaign.​

Oh my, she'll be on a list that will be shown by Eric to his dad who will surely be grateful and remember this patriotic dog.

My father loves our small-dollar machine, because it perfectly represents our movement.

I mean it. During the second debate, he even took a moment to mention how proud he is of our grassroots donors -- and that our average contribution is only $61.

Our movement is powered by the hard-working American men and women that have been abandoned by our politicians for decades.

While Hillary calls you deplorable, my father calls you a patriot.
​

Ah, us little people and dogs. How heart-warming. This reminds me so much of Jim Bakker - my cat used to get mail from him and Tammy Faye.

 

[FreeinChrist]

Well, your dog could make an interesting donation.
Wouldn't be wise though.

I get Jon Stewart Humor on FB and that can be really funny.

Yeah, I miss him, but Facebook is too messy for me.

With everything else going on in this turbulent world (like the chaotic US presidential election, world hunger, poverty, thousands of native and non-native people fighting against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline) some people are all bent out of shape over the defamation of Trump's Walk of Fame star. They just rant on and on about it. It seems to me that a lot of people need to rid themselves of their celebrity fascinations and get their priorities straightened out. I mean seriously. SMH.

I have been getting stress relief from the election by watching old Marx brothers stuff on you tube. I always like Harpo:

My favorite Groucho line:

They're begging for money while bragging that they'll be spending millions?? Does anyone else see anything wrong with that? But yes, the great cheeto will personally see your name on a list. LOLOLOL. OMW. Does this stuff work? They couldn't get me to donate to Hilary if they said that. I'd be like yeah, right, whatever.

The Marx Brothers ... I have every movie. I raised my kids on Marx Brothers.

Somehow, I'm not surprised.

 

[stamperben]

In a bigger fan of Karl myself.

 

[FreeinChrist]

Karl?

 

[stamperben]

Karl?

The Marx who wasn't in the movies.

 

[FreeinChrist]

ahhh, so not Gummo or Zeppo.

I'm off to go vote.
