How to Vet news

This just in: I have a certain way that I check on news to see if its real. See if you can pick it out.

Democrats believe that Trump tried to overthrow the election. They base this decision on interviews with people that we in the room and from both parties and they made this information public.

Republicans say the election was stolen from them. As proof they offer “Well, we didn’t win.”

I’m with the Democrats on this.

Another…

Democrats believe that infrastructure spending is not only good for the country but that it will pay for itself by higher taxes on the extremely rich. This perspective is backed by the obvious decay in our infrastructure, the strain on families coping with healthcare, daycare and eldercare. For economic proof they offer a letter signed by 15 Nobel Laurates in Economics that strongly support this idea.

Republicans don’t even want to pay for the $7.8 trillion dollar debt they ran up the last time they were in charge. As evidence, they say, “We are not going to raise the debt limit which allows us to pay for bills we have already created.”

I go with the Democrats again.

For decades…DECADES…the Republican Party has seen government as a grift machine to be used for self enrichment and the enrichment of their donors. They have virtually no interest in governing. They have not passed a single bill that benefits the American public in years. They have lots of meaningless phrases like “Communism” and “Government takeover of healthcare.” None of these have any effort behind them that exceeds what it took to cause air to pass over their windpipes as they spouted this nonsense.

If you vote Republican, and I don’t mean to be harsh, you are either uneducated or you are longing for a White, Christian nation, (aka racist).

On a completely unrelated front: Today’s big headlines are the congressional report detailing how Donald Trump and the Republican Party tried to overthrow a legitimate election AND how the Republican Party is refusing to pay the bills that they ran up during the Trump years hoping that you will believe spending by Trump from 2016 to 2020 was somehow actually done by Biden.

Time to save the world.

Up, up and away…
