Don’t trust the conservative media, who I always refer to as the echo…I don’t even like calling them the conservative media, since their brand of conservatism has gone completely off the rails, now becoming more of an extremist nihilism catering strictly to their tribe. They’ve totally reshaped the GOP ideology & not for the better. The Trump/GOP/echo tribe, that radicalized Trump cult, is destroying rational conservatism & the GOP, which have become huge obstacles in making America great again. They’re enabling a president who is the single biggest threat to freedom in America we’ve ever seen! Keep this basic thought in mind, America will never be great again & surely lose whatever greatness we hold onto, if we keep electing presidents who are thoroughly dishonest, corrupt, immoral, incompetent, clueless, backstabbing & bullies others from the bully pulpit, plus somebody like Trump who we’ll also likely soon find out is determined criminally liable.
In recent years here in part 2, we’ve revealed literally hundreds of examples in these article links showing the pure deceptions & distortions coming from Fox & the rest of the echo (in all my commentaries, echo is short for the far-right conservative media). That so many Americans can immerse themselves in that Foxian echo on a regular basis & be oblivious to all the lying, I can only assume those people are beyond ignorant & too brainwashed from many years of echo-bombasts to even have the capacity for comprehending the truth. But if we can present TheVORACS & other real news reports to enough people, we have an opportunity to rescue some in that echo-bubble, the ones open-minded enough to recognize the honest facts when presented to them, helping them escape the treachery from the conservative media that had tricked their minds.
So your efforts in sharing this information can serve as a great favor to fellow citizens who were previously uninformed, while you’ll also be serving your country. The timing of sharing this info takes on added importance with midterms only a couple weeks away, with many doing early voting already. This is no time to be passive or complacent! Together, let’s all do our part to fight corruption, lawlessness & demagoguery! And warn people about the deception from the conservative media echo & Fox fake news, as here’s more vile language typical of the Fox prime-time hosts inside laura-ingraham-echoes-you-will-not-replace-us-nazi-chant-in-vile-segment-attacking-legal-immigration. And the sickening conservative media has a bone to pick with Rosenstein: rod-rosenstein-wall-street-journal-interview-republicans, since they’re determined to suppress the evidence coming from Mueller that their glorious leader might be found to be a criminal.
GOP Senator Ben Sasse had the courage to write what I’ve written about for years, that one man (besides Trump) is the embodiment of the destructive extremism behind the far-right echo. Yes, the worst of the worst is the insanity of Hannity. Read these excerpts below from republican-sen-ben-sasse-roasts-sean-hannity-in-new-book revealing the truth about the likes of Hannity, which off camera those associated with Fox (& conservative media in general) will admit it’s all a game for ratings. It certainly has nothing to do with cogent political viewpoints, since they’ll concoct any storyline to ratchet up their viewer’s rage. And as that delusional rhetoric has caught on with the conservative base, it’s destroying the GOP agenda & ability to be a force for good in America. Fox viewers & the wider echo audience need to be informed of the ulterior motives behind the garbage they’re feeding their minds, since it’s pure deception. Here we see those extremely valuable insights from Sasse, so please read closely:
Republican Sen. Ben Sasse thinks that much of what is wrong with political media today is embodied by one man: Sean Hannity. Over the course of twenty pages in his new book, titled Them: Why We Hate Each Other—and How to Heal, the Republican senator said the Fox News primetime star is the foremost example of how—in his estimation—media personalities willfully drive a wedge between Americans of different political persuasions. “He explained the core objective of his two different programs to the New York Times,” Sasse wrote, referring to Hannity’s television and radio programs. “It’s not to promote a particular conservative agenda, or to encourage American patriotism, or even to offer coherent arguments against liberalism. His core cause is to rage.”
Not many years ago, Sasse was beloved by conservative media personalities like Hannity. But President Donald Trump’s ascent to the Oval Office coincided with a deterioration of Sasse’s relationship with Hannity. The Nebraska senator has been a major critic of Trump’s rhetoric, earning Sasse fiery criticism from pro-Trump conservative media stars including Hannity, who has redefined himself over the past several years as an informal adviser and top cheerleader for the president.
Sasse dedicated nearly an entire chapter of his book, released on Tuesday, to describing how Hannity is a manifestation of political media’s downward spiral. Dubbing Hannity-like programming as “polititainment,” Sasse described in the book his Trump-era clashes with the Fox host as “unusually unpleasant,” and laid out several examples of what he saw as failures of Hannity to inform the public in good faith. The Nebraska senator said most storylines on the top-rated Fox News show could be broken down to a simple formula: “Liberals are evil, you’re a victim, and you should be furious.” “Hannity tells a lot of angry, isolated people what they want to hear,” Sasse wrote. “And he has the delivery down to an art form. We’d all be better off, as would our communities, if we understood the game he and his colleagues—on both sides of the spectrum—are playing.” Sasse continued to write that Hannity hypocritically criticized the Nebraska senator’s cyber-security positions despite conducting “fawning” interviews with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
He also knocked Hannity for politicizing the mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas last year, pointing out that the Fox News host never corrected a broadcast in which he cited a fake Twitter account to claim the social-media site’s users were overwhelmingly cheering on the possibility that mainly Trump supporters were killed at the country-music festival. “Having given his millions of viewers the impression that Trump supporters were killed and that liberals cheered it, he moved on,” Sasse said. “It was a grotesque distortion of reality. It was, quite literally, fake news.” Sasse also dished on several conversations he had about Hannity with Fox News employees and his fellow senators. One of his fellow lawmakers, Sasse wrote, described Hannity’s programming as “‘Hey-can-you-believe-this- shit?!’ messaging.” The senator recalled how an unnamed Fox News personality told him that “Hannity hasn’t been a conservative in years,” and that the Fox star “figured out long ago that teaching and defending conservatism is both harder and less effective than just hitting some crazy liberal.”
Sasse repeatedly emphasized that Hannity is integral to a dysfunctional media environment that rewards conflict and scandal. The senator claimed that “both sides” of the political spectrum are guilty of media exaggeration for political gain: He compared right-wing outlets’ penchant for obscure campus-outrage stories with left-leaning media outlet’s stories on racist comments made by relatively unknown Trump supporters. Sasse blamed media audiences for consuming such salacious content, which, he said, in turn drives media organizations to relentlessly focus on such types of stories. “The incentive structure in the media complex rewards pushing the gas, not tapping the brakes—or qualifying a point,” the senator wrote, donning his media-critic cap. “Celebrities, political big shots, and media outlets have junior staffers constantly tweeting and posting, giving readers new reasons to click—and the sharper-tongued the post, the better.”
But Sasse mostly singled out conservative media, which he said he has interacted with more by virtue of being a conservative politician and news consumer. He suggested that the right-wing media environment is driven largely by deference to an audience that tolerates only pro-Trump content. Sasse remembered how, after being “shellacked” on-air for his anti-Trump views, a conservative host told him it was “just a game.” “The hosts couldn’t afford to lose a quarter or a third of their audience, so they attacked any Republican who questioned President Trump,” Sasse explained. “They wanted to know if I was angry at their spin.” “‘You get it, don’t you?’ one of them said, smiling at me. ‘You understand why I have to hit you?’” Sasse recalled. “I didn’t.”
Fox Nonsense & Us Anti-Trumpers should stay the course
Here we see a CNN host weighing in on that nihilistic Fox prime-time lineup: chris-cuomo-fox-news-hosts-animosity. And here we find large advertisers don’t like the branding that comes from doing business with hardcore radicalism associated with the conservative media: fox-news-ad-chief-admits-advertisers-are-leaving-heres-whats-going. The contents inside this link republican-candidates-who-have-connections-bigoted-media expose extremist politicians riding the wave of the evil echo. Next, here are prominent politicians & media personalities who were anti-Trump & have since taken diverse stances: have-anti-trump-conservatives-benefited-or-paid-a-price-due-to-their-stance-the-results-vary-widely. Personally, I am clearly anti-Trump, but the GOP base have predominately gone over to the dark side. Us #Never-Trumpers need to hold true to our values, expecting those GOP supporters to someday find their bearings by rediscovering their moral principles & sanity, or they will self-destruct by relegating the party to the dustbin of history, at which point conservatives can start over with a clean slate & new party.
In these scary times, it’s up to the American people to contain him
And share with others good articles like seen in these posts from containing-the-catastrophe, since we have a critically-important election coming up!:
Anyone still unsure of how (or even whether) they’ll vote in the midterms should consider this: All three branches of government are now under the control of one party, and that party is under the control of Donald J. Trump. With the addition of Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court is as firmly Republican as are the House and Senate. Kavanaugh was revealed as a fierce partisan — not only the legal advisor who helped Kenneth Starr prosecute Bill Clinton and almost certainly guided George W. Bush’s use of torture, but also a nominee who believes “leftists” and Clinton sympathizers are out to get him. He joins four other Republican-appointed jurists, almost as partisan. Thomas, Alito, and Roberts have never wavered from Republican orthodoxy. Neil Gorsuch, although without much track record on the Supreme Court to date, was a predictable conservative Republican vote on the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit — which is why the Heritage Foundation pushed for him and Trump appointed him. Even under normal circumstances, when all three branches are under the control of the same party we get a lopsided government that doesn’t respond to the values of a large portion of the electorate.
But these are not normal circumstances. Donald Trump is President. Need I remind you? Trump is a demagogue who doesn’t give a fig for democracy — who continuously and viciously attacks the free press, Democrats, immigrants, Muslims, black athletes exercising First Amendment rights, women claiming sexual harassment, anyone who criticizes or counters him; who treats the executive branch, including the Justice Department, like his own fiefdom, and brazenly profits off his office; who tells lies like other people breathe; and who might well have conspired with Vladimir Putin to swing the election his way. Trump doesn’t even pretend to be the president of all the people. As he repeatedly makes clear in rallies and tweets, he is president of his “base.” And his demagoguery is by now unconstrained in the White House. Having fired the few “adults” in his Cabinet, Trump is now on the loose (but for a few advisors who reportedly are trying to protect the nation from him).
All this would be bad enough even if the two other branches of government behaved as the framers of the Constitution expected, as checks and balances on a president. But under Republican leadership, they refuse to play this role when it comes to Trump. House and Senate Republicans have morphed into Trump sycophants and toadies — intimidated, spineless, opportunistic. The few who have dared call him on his outrages aren’t running for reelection. Some have distanced themselves from a few of his most incendiary tweets or racist rantings, but most are obedient lapdogs on everything else — including Trump’s reluctance to protect the integrity of our election system, his moves to prevent an investigation into Russian meddling, his trade wars, his attacks on NATO and the leaders of other democracies, his swooning over dictators, his cruelty toward asylum-seekers, and, in the Senate, his Supreme Court nominees. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has emerged as Trump’s most shameless lackey who puts party above nation and Trump above party. The House leadership is no better. House intelligence chair Devin Nunes is Trump’s chief flunky and apologist, but there are many others. Now that Kavanaugh is on the Supreme Court, you can forget about the Court constraining Trump, either. Kavanaugh’s views of presidential power and executive privilege are so expansive he’d likely allow Trump to fire Mueller, shield himself from criminal prosecution, and even pardon himself. Kavanaugh’s Republican brethren on the Court would probably go along.
So how are the constitutional imperative of checks and balances to be salvaged, especially when they’re so urgently needed? The only remedy is for voters to flip the House or Senate, or ideally both, on November 6th. The likelihood of this happening is higher now with Kavanaugh on the Court and Trump so manifestly unchecked. Unless, that is, enough voters have become so demoralized and disillusioned they just give up. If cynicism wins the day, Trump and those who would delight in the demise of American democracy (including, not incidentally, Putin) will get everything they want. They will have broken America. For the sake of the values we hold dear — and of the institutions of our democracy that our forbearers relied on and our descendants will need — this cannot be allowed. It is now time to place a firm check on this most unbalanced of presidents, and vote accordingly.
We can learn from history how scary this is
I doubt many German citizens back in the 1930’s had a good sense of what was really happening to their country. Once they saw the horrors, it was already too late. See these excerpts from historian-christopher-browning-on-the-trump-regime-were-close-to-the-point-of-no-return, while clicking on the link will reveal the interview:
History can teach us many lessons about Donald Trump and his rise to power. As shown by his deeds, words and policies, Trump is an authoritarian and a demagogue who has, so far, been restrained by America’s weakened democratic institutions and norms. Trump has repeatedly shown contempt for America’s cosmopolitan, pluralistic multiracial democracy. He and his supporters would smash that order and a create a new one based upon white racial authoritarianism (as well as naked plutocracy) if, and when, they have the opportunity to do so. Learning lessons from history about the present requires a keen appreciation of context. The model of authoritarianism that Donald Trump, the Republican Party, their allies and voters represent will fit the cultural and political norms and institutions of the United States. This usurpation of American democracy will be both similar to and different from what took place in other countries and at other times. In all, history’s lessons must be learned carefully, and applied with even more care if we are to make better sense of the present and the rise of Donald Trump in the United States, as well as resurgent reactionary right-wing movements around the world. What lessons do the fall of German democracy after World War I and the rise of the Nazis and Adolf Hitler hold for the United States in the age of Trump? What role does an assault on democratic norms and traditions play in the rise of fascist and authoritarian movements? In what ways are “traditional” Republican elites like Mitch McConnell responsible for an “outsider” such as Donald Trump taking power? Is dissent being criminalized in the United States by Trump and his followers? What is “illiberal democracy,” and how will it do the work of authoritarianism in the U.S. and elsewhere? Is Trump a fascist, or is he better described using another label? In an effort to answer these questions I recently spoke with Christopher R. Browning.
The world has always regarded America as great
But instead of MAGA, guess who’s now destroying our brand. These excerpts come from donald-trump-destroying-american-brand:
In truth, every modern president has struggled to find the right balance between America’s lofty ideals and our strategic interests. During the Cold War that dominated the second half of the last century, Washington often came to see ruthless right-wing regimes in Asia, Latin America and Africa as necessary bulwarks against communism. It wasn’t a good look. And since the emergence of Islamic terrorism as an overarching threat, no country has tested this balance as much as Saudi Arabia. The Saudis repress women and dissidents, but they’ve also lent out their land for U.S. military bases, and they’re seen as a crucial counterweight against Iranian influence. Both George W. Bush and Barack Obama tried to walk that line between values and real politik in the region, and they mostly ended up talking about the former while ceding to the latter. Trump, however, represents a radical departure from his predecessors, Republican and Democrat. He makes no pretense of balancing moral imperatives, or even military objectives, against the economic agenda that is his only real priority.
There’s a problem with this formulation. It assumes that America’s economic interests have nothing to do with its moral imperatives. And in the long term, that’s just wrong. America’s most vital export isn’t cars or soft drinks or computer chips. It’s our culture. It’s our brand. American businesses thrived overseas in the 20th century not just because we made a bunch of stuff, but because the stuff we made signified the American creed. In every part of the world, they watched our cowboy movies and smoked our cigarettes because they admired us. They knew Americans aspired to moral courage and the rule of law, even if we often fell short of the goal. But he (Trump) doesn’t seem to understand the risks he’s taking with ours. He can’t seem to grasp that, unlike a casino or a skyscraper, America’s potential for profit is inextricable from its moral standing. Without the enduring legacies of Lincoln and Roosevelt and Kennedy and Reagan, we’re just another country growing soybeans. The American president should react at least as strongly as our bankers to the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, because we ought to stand for the right to dissent, and for the freedom of our press, and for basic humanity. That’s reason enough. But we ought to do so, too, with the clear understanding that there is no such thing as “America First” without holding firm to American ideals.
Trump doesn’t keep promises cause he’s a chronic liar
Don’t just take my word for it (although I must admit I am right), but see the info inside trump-promises-made-promises-broken & also these excerpts from trump-is-the-most-honest-president-in-modern-history-give-me-a-break:
Reading Thiessen’s list of kept promises, you might be impressed at all the things Trump has done that he said he would do, and he waves away any question of broken promises by saying “Only in a few rare instances has he backtracked on a campaign pledge.” But is that true? Let’s look at a partial list of the things Trump has said he would do but hasn’t done:
*Repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with “something terrific.”
*Provide Americans with “insurance for everybody.”
*Allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices.
*Build a wall on the southern border and make Mexico pay for it.
*Eliminate the “carried interest loophole” that benefits hedge fund managers.
*Pass a massive infrastructure plan.
*Officially declare China a currency manipulator.
*Bring back the use of torture.
*Sue the women who accused him of sexual misconduct.
*Release his tax returns.
*Appoint a special prosecutor to target Hillary Clinton.
*Provide six weeks of paid leave to women who have children.
*Eliminate the deficit and pay off the national debt.
Those are just a few of the promises Trump hasn’t kept — there are literally hundreds more, depending on what you want to include. And that only covers specific policy promises, not things such as Trump saying “I’m going to surround myself only with the best and most serious people,” then surrounding himself with a collection of charlatans and fools. It should be obvious that the idea that “When Trump says he will do something, you can take it to the bank” is patently ludicrous. But there is something absolutely perverse about saying that it’s fine for a president to constantly lie to the American people, literally thousands of times, as long as he follows through on some campaign pledges. What kind of morally warped standard is that? Would you accept it from anyone in your life — your spouse, your kids, your friends, your coworkers? Of course not. And we shouldn’t accept it in a president.
The Conservative Media Echo constantly dismisses the Facts
I think there must be some psychological issues going on with the echo & their audiences. With so many Americans in this modern era being so easily deceived by the Trumpian conservative media, this article inside enchanted-america-tries-to-explain-conspiracy-thinking attempts to scientifically explain why that is so, with the ending posted here:
But it’s the Trumpenvolk who are, relative to followers of other politicians, the most fearful and superstitious. It should come as no surprise that they were drawn to a man constantly raising fears of immigrant invasions, foreign terrorists, and globe-spanning conspiracies with anti-Semitic undertones. Oliver and Wood make it clear that when it comes to the question of Rationalism versus Intuitionism, they are partisans. “The Intuitionist/Rationalist split is not like other political divisions in the United States,” they write. “Intuitionism poses an existential threat to democracy. It is neither benign nor temperate. It bristles against open inquiry, is intolerant of opposition, and chafes at the pluralism and compromise modern democracy requires. It is prone to conspiracy theory, drawn to simple generalizations, and quick to vilify the other.” But they acknowledge that this area of study is not far enough along for them to have all that many concrete suggestions. Maybe the first step is for writers, pollsters, and all the other elites who remain confused about Trump’s appeal to better educate themselves about the Intuitionism scale, as well as other related constructs like conspiracism (what it sounds like) and need for cognitive closure (a preference for simple, straightforward thoughts without much ambiguity).
Absent these insights from political psychology, it’s easy to get caught in an endless cycle of befuddlement: How could evangelical “values voters” be so unconcerned that Trump is a philanderer and former supporter of reproductive rights? How could down-on-their luck working-class whites have such enthusiasm for a brash mogul, born into a rich family, who has endlessly ripped off people like them, and who has openly stated he will cut the welfare benefits keeping many of them alive and housed? How could white, educated suburban women vote for a man who has been credibly accused of multiple sexual assaults? Intuitionism can’t completely answer these questions, but it’s a start. It offers a concrete, promising foundation for better understanding Trump fans and others who don’t seem to have the same approach to facts and evidence that Rationalists have. And a better understanding of the genuine psychological underpinnings of these beliefs might, in the long run, bring with it better tactics for convincing the conspiracy-addled to rejoin the reality-based community.
More demeaning sexist comments from our jackass president
I don’t like to use the word jackass, but how else to describe someone who uses the word “horseface?” And I don’t care what people think of Stormy, when you’re the president (or just a normal human being), you don’t make such comments about a woman (any woman…EVER)! Maybe we should start calling all Trumpeters horseface by name & see how they like it. No wonder he’s about to lose the women vote by 2 to 1. It should be more like 100 to 1! See those despicable comments inside trump-women-insults & also president-trumps-long-history-of-mocking-the-appearances-of-his-female-critics-and-powerful-women.
Trump also does his jackass routine in Montana
As the world is hearing of the horrors of the brutally-murdered WaPo journalist, while Trump accuses the Dems of inspiring angry mobs, last night our prez actually praised a Montana congressional rep for body-slamming a reporter last year. Equally deranged, his cult followers at that rally were yupping it up!: trump-encourages-violence-against-reporters-and-his-supporters-cheer & also trump-praises-gianforte-body-slam-journalist & also whca-statement-trump-gianforte-body-slam & also trump-praises-gianforte-for-attacking-journalist-saudi. All these articles confirm Trump’s bullying/autocratic persona knowing his merry band of Trumpeters are all in, with a mindset so twisted it’s barely human. The reports in these next links are beyond tone deaf, this is sick & absolutely revolting!: trump-greg-gianforte-assault-guardian-ben-jacobs & also trump-praises-us-congressman-from-montana-who-body-slammed-reporter & also president-trump-greenlights-assaults-on-reporters & also we-knew-trump-doesnt-condemn-congressman-assaulting-reporter-now-he-celebrates-it & also donald-trump-greg-gianforte-bodyslammed-reporter-my-kind-guy. Yep, Trump is correct, those who attack journalists are his kind of people! Can you believe such demented words could ever come from an American President?
Echo so Evil they even Lie about the Murder Victim
So inside that evil-echo cult, they’re stooping so low as to try smearing the murdered journalist just to provide cover for Trump. And Trump may be trying to cover up for the crown prince. See those reprehensible echo-conspiracies inside conservatives-mount-a-whisper-campaign-smearing-khashoggi-in-defense-of-trump. Rubin gives these insights in excerpts from just-when-you-think-trump-and-his-apologists-couldnt-get-worse:
One can hardly fathom the twisted psyche of a president who, after acknowledging that Jamal Khashoggi, a contributing columnist for The Post’s Global Opinions, had likely been murdered, would go before a cheering mob to lavish praise on a U.S. congressman who physically attacked a journalist. “Any guy who can do a body-slam, he’s my kind of — he’s my guy,” Trump said in a Montana campaign appearance on Thursday, referring to Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.) who pleaded guilty to assaulting the Guardian’s reporter Ben Jacobs, who had the temerity to ask Gianforte a health-care question. “I had heard that he body-slammed a reporter. And he was way up. … I said ‘Oh this is terrible, he’s gonna lose the election,’ ” Trump continued. “Then I said, ‘Well, wait a minute, I know Montana pretty well, I think it might help him.’ And it did.” And his ghoulish fans ate that up. The Guardian’s U.S. editor responded with a statement: “To celebrate an attack on a journalist who was simply doing his job is an attack on the First Amendment by someone who has taken an oath to defend it,” said John Mulholland. “In the aftermath of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, it runs the risk of inviting other assaults on journalists both here and across the world where they often face far greater threats. We hope decent people will denounce these comments and that the president will see fit to apologize for them.” Trump won’t apologize, of course, nor will his devoted base hold his remarks against him. To the contrary, this is what they love about him — the contempt for a free press, the celebration of male thuggishness, the mindless emotional outbursts. Somehow it empowers them, to side with brutes and bullies, to revel in the silencing of a free press.
And in case you thought such moral depravity was limited to a few thousand fans, a concerted smear campaign against Khashoggi is underway. The whisper campaign comes not only from the fever swamps and usual talk radio know-nothings, but also from those who fancy themselves as foreign policy sophisticates at the forefront of efforts to counter Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional aggression. It is hard to know if this is water-carrying for the administration, panic over disruption to the administration’s already incoherent Iran policy or hatred of the mainstream media. Whatever the impetus, the lack of decency on display — the willingness to defame a reportedly tortured, murdered and dismembered journalist to deflect blame from a brutal regime that snookered both the U.S. and Israeli governments into adopting it as the key bulwark against Iran — should disgust people of good will, whatever their political or foreign policy views. Proximity to and reverential treatment of an amoral, congenital liar in the White House have disabled the intellectual and moral reasoning powers of many previously respectable Republicans. Whatever the cause, if you are falsely smearing a missing man, trying to diminish the horror of a thuggish regime’s alleged gruesome murder or yukking it up with a president celebrating violence against a reporter, it’s time to rethink your politics.

Please read Khashoggi’s last article by clicking on opinions-jamal-khashoggi-what-the-arab-world-needs-most-is-free-expression, which it’s ironic this would be his final message, a cause he gave his life for. The Saudi crown prince looks to have ordered his killing, which the song at the bottom of part 3 refers to a ruthless Arab leader.
