Faux news has argued in court that they are not news, but entertainment. It’s how they get away with spewing bs and hiring actors to come on the show to play the characters they need to tell their lies. They need to be sued for false advertising.

Most people in this country vote against their best interests most of the time for one reason. They are susceptible to bullshit. Why? They were preconditioned to accept myth as reality by religion.

Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"

There are people who work three part time jobs who can’t get enough hours from employers to get coverage who are on Medicaid. Universal healthcare would save lives and save small businesses a lot of money.
