Arendt suggests that they have been systematically lied to, so they have given up trying to know what the truth is, they start seeing the issues in terms of a personal emotional reaction of the moment. Like guys at war, not knowing the big picture, they are limiting their concerns to themselves ,maybe the guy next to them, and maybe the team they fight for. The other team is demonized ,dehumanized , and this excuses any abuse, any crazy act. They think they are exhibiting socially accepted virtue. Just ask! them ...if you need to . It's that obvious. We know it as....TDS.

“The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world—and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end—is being destroyed.” ― Hannah Arendt I would offer , that if one could arrange a civilized discussion with a panel of TDS victims , and explain at length and with great patience, the argument for supporting Trump, and present all the evidence and logic , that it wouldn't amount to a hill of beans, and it would scare the bejeezus out of them into understanding that talking points are not of use for people who have lost touch with their moral center. Twenty years ago , I doubt that you could even get a 51% percent majority of women to legalize killing babies in the third trimester. And - That if you presented the thousands of homeless in LA , and suggested that the city should become a sanctuary for yet more desperate people , who are not even from here, and give them all free health care , they would ask if you were out of your mind.

By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Monday, June 24, 2019 A top Google executive was caught on hidden camera declaring that the federal government should not break up the tech giant — because then it would be more difficult to prevent “the next Trump situation.” A Project Veritas undercover video released Monday shows Jen Gennai, head of Google’s Responsible Innovation team, which seeks to ensure “fair and ethical outcomes” via artificial intelligence, disputing Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s antitrust push. “Elizabeth Warren is saying we should break up Google,” Ms. Gennai said. “And like, I love her but she’s very misguided. That will not make it better, it will make it worse, because now all these smaller companies who don’t have the same resources that we do will be charged with preventing the next Trump situation.” She added, “It’s like a small company cannot do that.” The video, part of a Project Veritas sting operation into Silicon Valley, provided fodder to conservatives who have long charged Google with manipulating its search engine to promote a left-of-center political agenda.

Yep , I agree.

Unfortunately its their conscience that is the problem. The Dems. have realized that if the media doesn't expose them , they can run their cities states and country into the ground.. and the voters wont be feelin' it.. so they can win , despite having no solutions. They can say Well have you been better off under Trump ,or have you seen only chaos and divisiveness? They happily benefit from destroying the public situation , and the voter thinks they are doing the 'right' thing. This is why they do not care if they make bad law,,,, outlaw hot dogs , big sodas , babies and clean sidewalks.

I don't think we can really get an honest read on where folks will sit when the election rolls around , the Dems are kidding themselves that they have policies that their base wants , but it just may be that the ploy of demonizing the Pres. has been more effective then they think. Just like we may be kidding ourselves , that they will see reason enough to vote properly in their own interest. I believe Pelosi has been a Chair of the Dem committee since 1981 ( wiki) and has a net worth over 26 million, now she is speaker of the House , and meanwhile, California has been going down the tubes . One would think that all the folks out on the west coast would have to do , is look around themselves to decide if that leadership has been working well. Like you can look at The 'sanctuary cities' and notice the homelessness feces and drug needles everywhere, and decide that -Even if I am not a genius, this is clearly not good , and we should give the other side a go at this, if for no other reason, it is to punish the wicked. It could all be a strategy , to keep all the cards close to the chest , so as to spring the ammo at the right time, but meanwhile , the enemy has dug in , and continues to reinforce the echo chamber , to the point where the voters cease to listen, and its embedded. They have no doubts because they have been given no reason to seriously doubt. Its all just stories and fabrications that can be dismissed. Again , I have heard no actual indications that the spying and deception of the FISA court and the purchase of foreign propaganda , and the destruction of emails , and the defiance of all sorts of laws, is in fact going to be prosecuted and result in actual punishment. From yourself either! its just a hope. It probably is legal to buy propaganda if one has an intermediary. The FISA process is probably just a formality. The governors and Mayors of Sanctuary cities may be within their purview to defy federal mandate , and the way Biden conducted his business overseas is out of the Jurisdiction of American laws. The only redress is at the voting booth.

Your peers will play the cards dealt to them ,just as we will. Few, if any,of us washes up on the shores we were swimming for. The better message of Daoism is not to Enact being spiritual or driving after the label, to please ourselves with one,, but to learn to make an ally of the way things work , and understand virtue enough ,to live well. If You do not do the 'living well', you missed the point, didn't get the hang of it, or so forth. Nobody is perfect.

This contention, about the nonexistence of body, has two assault corridors. If the body intrudes upon the mind,( you stub a toe take a drug) Then your body exists for you, or in conjunction with you. If anything exists ,all things that exist, do,, And if nothing actually exists, then the definition of existing Is misconstrued to be describing a trait which fits none of the stuff that comprises the universe. The idea is to rattle the paradigms we hold rigid , but it can also turn folks off the path, because it's an untenable assertion.

I'm starting to think that even the good guys aren't telling the whole story. Nunes ,Jordan etc, .. and that the whole of the story is that they are just digging at talking points. Yanking our chains just like the Dems. do. The check is in the mail, ...Honest!...and it's going to be so stunning when you get it that you're gonna be sorry you doubted. Oh Look! A squirrel!

Disprove ,That no one is going to be held accountable. Dawei's assertion that he thinks Nunes is being 'slick', ,,is a guess without a supportive argument. And even following his guess, he agrees that it's not likely. So to me, it appears he thinks HIS own assessment isn't likely either. Gimme a reason to expect jail for any of them , like,,, any single lawmaker in a position to know, saying outright, that someone is going to jail. It seems, At worst, the guilty will be pointed at, so they can write a book from the pov of a bad boy. I see some hopeful suggestions in the news but .....

NY Times By Michael D. Shear, Eric Schmitt, Michael Crowley and Maggie Haberman June 20, 2019 Iran’s ability to target and destroy the high-altitude American drone, which was developed to evade the very surface-to-air missiles used to bring it down, surprised some Defense Department officials, who interpreted it as a show of how difficult Tehran can make things for the United States as it deploys more troops and steps up surveillance in the region. ................................................................................... To do this( evade missiles) , they fly at altitudes of up to 60,000 feet–– almost twice as high as a commercial airliner. At that height, the drone can see beyond the curvature of the Earth. .............................................................................. Techdirt And we can't even say Obama's reporting requirement was great while it lasted. It went into force July 1, 2016. By the time the first reporting period rolled around in 2018, a different president was in office. As Charlie Savage points out for the New York Times, the new order simply codifies this administration's failure to publish the first required report. Mr. Trump’s revocation of the disclosure rule amounted to a belated acknowledgment that his administration had already changed the Obama policy in practice: The director of national intelligence never put out a report about bystander casualties in 2017, even though the Obama-era order requiring one remained on the books last year, when the report was due out. Trump's order claims the reporting is redundant as there are other drone strike reports already mandated by law. But this revocation gives the CIA -- an agency that has "acquired a taste" for deadly drone strikes -- complete opacity. The reporting requirements left untouched by Trump's order only affects Defense Department drone operations. The CIA's operations -- often carried out away from areas declared war zones by the US government -- will continue to operate under the radar, safely shielded from the eyes of the public. ........................................................ So its reasonable to assume that the drone was flying below its safe altitude in CIA secrecy in a part of the world where mysterious drone strikes are happening in Saudi and Iranian airspace , am mysterious mines are exploding on oil tankers , and Iran is not thought to have the capability to shoot these drones down. The excuse given , was that the Iranians are tricky ,, So tricky in fact , that they can fire missiles above their effective altitude ! So we sent a relatively cheap , secret , slow , big , lumbering surveillance drone , at low altitude , through a tight passage in a political hotspot , where odd drone attacks have been reported .. with an AWACs plane following behind just for good measure.

I agree 100% , but I am not now believing the paint is going to become dry , at all.

that No one is going to be held accountable , and he knows it , and he has a prepared deflection , to say we are going to get to the bottom of the scandal instead of being forthright.

How did they get footage of the drone being shot down? AWACs ? flight crew of 4 +13-19 flight specialists - appx 23 people ( on an E3) How did they know to be there? How do we know, that the Iranians removing a mine from a ship , were not removing something that someone else put on there , to start an engagement? perhaps the party taking the vid. Bolton is a democrat war hawk , Trump is not, and the retaliation was aborted. Biden extorts the Ukrainian government with US money , boasts about it , and continues with his election bid, if I was a small country , I would be thinking about this kind of ethics displayed by the US, thinking real hard. Because in this country , that kind of thing is normal. And if I was Iran , I might remove a mine from a tanker. Comey , when confronted with the Fisa issue regarding the president ,said that it was in fact normal , what this indicates is that the FISA court was a complete formality , because the warrants already in hand , (with the two hop rule) already covered just about anyone they wanted to spy on. Heck ! its Likely that three departments ( minimum) were all spying independently of one another , NSA CIA and FBI. Hillary gets or sends 30000 Emails , and the CIA, who can monitor the entire US , doesn't get wind of it? The FBI doesn't charge in , in the middle of the night , and seize the hard drives, instead Hillary is told what emails to destroy , which she promptly has done , and the other copies are hidden. Why isn't anyone in jail ?, its all normal folks, SOP. Squirrel!

I wish someone would post convincing argument why I am incorrect, I really do.

I wish you had left the rest of your post, but, to answer you.... This is the third time Nunes has dodged the question , that I have noted. Nobody in a position to know has contradicted the point , that I have seen. Barr said No American colluded. The IG let the few naughty Folks he found ,off the hook. I can go on but essentially ,they just let the whole thing drop. So the only reason to keep digging is to justify this travesty, sell books and play politics. So , as usual, we have the sleight of hand, a drone is shot down , in this case, and we are all baited to look elsewhere. Iran.

On Hannity,,, Nunes still keeps evading the question if those who were responsible were going to be held accountable. This is very very bad. Instead, They keep to the mantra about getting the truth out to the American people. Do they really not understand that we know more than enough , and it's not translating into the justice we deserve. The spin continues, and the perspective that our FBI CIA DOJ is kosher ,ain't happening, if Nunez is being predictive. If the investigations are having any purpose ,the bad actors need to do the time. Conversely, if you aren't going to do anything,, you might as well whitewash the whole thing. Why should we give a crap that there was a second dossier if the KnowN signatures on the FISA application isn't plenty! You've already got New York abetting fraudulent voter registration while they hand out undocumented drivers licenses to illegal aliens ,so they can get to illegal employment , and deliver their kids to failing schools paid for by working Americans , no doubt all the Sanctuary cities/states are going to be doing the same. You've got states signing a pact to obviate the electoral college. And Meanwhile, not only are committers of KnowN crimes walking free, but the entire Constitution is being undermined by communists ,, and they can't assert that anyone is going to be held responsible! Squirrel !

Tens of People Show Up at Impeach Trump Rallies Posted by Kemberlee Kaye Wednesday, June 19, 2019 at 11:00am A whole 15ish people showed up outside of the White House this past weekend to encourage impeachment of the president The protest effort to support impeachment of Trump is going swimmingly. A whole 15ish people showed up outside of the White House this past weekend to encourage impeachment of the president

Too bad , so sad .. you've decided you're a wet noodle ,, but notice this is now , about you being weak , not ....... You -being a caregiver with your abundant excess energies. I doubt there is a magic answer , .... you know ,.....It's the one where you say , " Oh! is that all I have to do ? piece of cake! All I have to do is click my heels together! " But in the end , You're going to have to decide to act , with intent , to do something you do not want to do OR , you close your eyes and 'Get out the back , Jack'. It will indeed suck.

Fake it till you make it, take the action and live with the emotions later. burn the bridges On D- day the backs of those Higgins boats would open up , those big ol ramps would bang down , and the entire thing was exposed with the Germans firing right down the throats of them , there was no place to go but forward , and those that didn't ..... didn't. American command knew this would be so , as did Tsun Tsu ... you should read his stuff. Not every situation has a happy ending many would-be heroes fail - or never had the chance

Both true , ones mind can be the sneakiest of adversaries Take my word on this , I know what I am talking about, when it comes to dysfunction

Actions write the story in stone , mental gyrations evaporate into the ether.

Don't forget it works the other way around too , which is to say, you can endlessly play victim here , because folks want to help you. Doing that , you can tell yourself that you are 'working on it' , then you can 'log off', and play either the caretaker, or victim ,at home. The summary of your sentiments is going to be expressed in what you actually do to make the change. The advice you get , the support , the time typing, and the good intentions .... mean precisely zippo , until acted upon. Actions write the story in stone , mental gyrations evaporate into the ether. 1) The spiritual world is played-out , upon the physical stage. 2) true humans learn fast , but it is not true , to say all the things we learn , serve us well.

AOC , ,, The Hyde amendment isn't about abortion .. 😆 No, no it is.

Now, Booker condemns people for being an example of working together. Who's next ? To tell Americans they cannot, and should not find common ground, as is needed for functional democracy. Hopefully nobody, it's reprehensible.
