Trump's republican party: America's greatest con artists. 64136.jpeg

The late magician and skeptic James Randi had two great quotes that fittingly describe today’s America: “Those who believe without reason cannot be convinced by reason”; and “No amount of belief makes something a fact.”

The Republican conmen

 

 Fucking Unbelievable POWER

Among television news sources, Fox News holds outsize influence, particularly among Republicans. Currently, 15% of Americans cite Fox News as the television news source they trust the most to provide accurate information about politics and current events, which is roughly equal to the combined influence of broadcast networks like NBC, ABC, and CBS (16%), and larger than that of local television news (12%) and CNN (11%). Fox News is by far the most trusted outlet among Republicans (40%), with the next most trusted source, local news, trailing distantly (14%). Just eight percent of independents and four percent of Democrats most trust Fox News. Among religious groups, Fox News is most trusted by white evangelical Protestants (36%), by nearly twice the proportion of all other religious groups.

Scott Morrison Has Chosen An Odd Year To Take A Year Off

Running the country hasn’t grabbed Morrison’s attention in the same way that, say, using a sexist trope to name a group of chickens has

 1.5 million Aussies out of work and the immigration solution 

With 1.5m Aussies out of work, the Morrison Government may attempt to stimulate the economy by opening the immigration floodgates?????

Sweden faces massive surge in COVID-19 cases, surprising absolutely no one

So much for Swedish exceptionalism... Remember how Andrew Bolt tried to convince us that this was the right approach

 

FAKE NEWS

U.S. President Donald Trump reacts to a question during a news conference in the Briefing Room of the White House on September 27, 2020 in Washington, DC. Trump is preparing for the first presidential debate with former Vice President and Democratic Nominee Joe Biden on September 29th in Cleveland, Ohio. (Joshua Roberts/Getty Images)

TRUMP (KIND OF) CONCEDES. ORDERS TRANSITION. TOO LATE

As close to a concession as you're likely to get: "Donald Trump says he has authorised the GSA, the agency responsible for signing off on the presidential transition process, to begin 'initial protocols' that would recognise Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election. But the President also said his legal challenges... would continue." And fail.

 Andrew Bolt is such a swinger isn't he? He like weather cock in a storm. 2016 'not a Trumper" 2017 -2020 ' am a Trumper' and now he appears to be setting himself up to do a Trump ready to say  'I always told you I was never really a Trumper'. 

This is Trump's contribution to 'opinion and news' and it as fake as. It isn't exclusive news it could be found without subscribing to anything Bolt. Don't waste your money. It appears Bolt it just treading water and has been for over a month before hiding in isolationville feeding magpies and growing tulips. He won't be celebrating Xmas in the Netherlands this year will he. It will be in seclusion here where doesn't want to be. I wonder whether he'll be touting for subscriptions in his spare time to impress Rupert for the next two months. After all Rupert has lost having angered his Golden Goose in America. Trump has threatened to walk away from the Trump/ Fox News partnership and the relationship they have shared for 4 years.

Will we see an imminent divorce between the Trump/Murdoch/ Republican marriage. If there is how will it impact on News Corp, Foxtel and Sky down-under? After all they have kept Bolt in whiskies with his mates.

I have always been fascinated by movies and television shows depicting the exploits of con artists. Many of these have a "Robin Hood" type of theme...
