President Biden keeps telling the truth about Putin and Russian War Crimes which makes Republicans mad

According to a new book, President Biden correctly labeled Rupert Murdoch and Fox, "one of the most destructive forces in the United States."  President Biden also correctly called Putin a War Criminal.  But, despite Joe's comments being 100% demonstrably true and factual the President garnered pushback from Putin's Poodles in the GOP and rightwing internet. 

One of the rhetorical tools Republicans have used for years is to claim President Joe Biden is a gaffe-machine.  The GQP found willing accomplices in the Corporate Media which was always at the ready to excoriate Biden for his misspeaks.

Well, now that Vladimir Putin's forces have committed documented War Crimes in Bucha, Republicans have fully descended into the QAnon abyss of lies.  Republicans are furious!  No not with the War Crimes!  But, that Putin's military invasion should be going so badly and making Republicans look so bad for defending and supporting a KGB Colonel for so long! 

Petulant Republican children Matt Gaetz and Major Traitor Greene s are so mad at Putin, that they've taken to yelling at US SecDef Lloyd Austin for President Biden's successful rallying NATO and providing Ukraine weapons and support to defeat Russian forces.

Obviously, the Republicans think bombarding the American people with non-stop rightwing agitprop and falsehoods about Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson or Pete Buttigieg or President Biden is a winning strategy and maybe it is... because they goal is to get Americans to believe the lies Republicans tell about Democrats and disbelieve the truth told about Republicans.  Conservatives listen to these Trump rallies which are 100% falsehoods and cheer. 

But, once you've begun to accuse your political adversaries of being child rapists (and it's still unbelievably galling the Party of child abusers Donald Trump and Dennis Hastert and Mark Foley accuses the Democrats) then there's really no backtracking.  There's no way the Republicans can work with Democrats after this.  And since 9/11 this is entirely what we have seen from the Republicans.  Increasing inflammatory rhetoric and a ratcheting up of the wild accusations.  So that now the Republican Party is a wholly fascist organization dedicated to destroying the Rule of Law in the United States and ensconcing a One Party Ethno-Nationalist White Supremacist Country.  The 2022 and especially 2024 elections are going to see a Manichaeist Rule or Ruin Republican Party.

Rightwing Pundit Glenn Greenwald

But, before the next elections Republicans are harming plenty of people here and killing plenty of people abroad.  The images emerging from Bucha in Ukraine are War Crimes.  But, the pushback and defense of Putin and Russian war crimes on-line and by elected Republicans and powerful conservatives in the media is a stark harbinger of the Fascist American future.  

Michael Tracey should have the common courtesy

to remain dead after Maxine Waters murdered him

Throughout this Russian military build-up, invasion and now documented war crimes the Biden White House has shared accurate intel and stated facts about Putin and the conduct of the Russian military; Yet the chattering class of Twitter Reactionaries were having a grand time in February chortling and chastising Biden as Chicken Little but, since the invasion began Twitter right-wingers transitioned to non-stop promoting of Russian War Propaganda.

And the Putin apologists haven't been mollified by the images coming from Bucha.  Every new day highlights how their previous day's twitter rants are 100% wrong, but there's no penalty for being an idiot on Twitter (Michael Tracey and Glenn Greenwald are just the biggest Twitter Propagandists, there are 1000's like them) and these people who were wrong yesterday, wrong today, get to be wrong tomorrow and continue on as though their previous errors don't undermine their current errors.

Do you want to know how dishonest Fox is? Even Fox Sports lies...

Jay Cutler has been very maligned as of late. Before getting to the perfidy of Fox Sports, here's a little about the beating he has taken in the last few years as the Bears QB. In the last 17 games, Jay Cutler has been sacked 63 times. Peyton Manning has been sacked 61 times in his last 64 games. Cutler has already been sacked 11 times this season and knocked down another 17 times, he's on pace to set a dubious NFL record for most QB sacks in a season.

8 months ago in the NFC Championship game Cutler suffered a torn MCL. Torn.

But, what did Fox Sports writer Jason Whitlock do? He wrote a column and stated this emphatically "I don’t need an MRI to confirm King Cutler quit".

Then Whitlock spent hours on 670 The Score yelling at Dan Bernstein and Terry Boers how Back when I played college ball he played a whole season on a torn ACL. Whitlock also told Boers and Bernstein if Cutler had been more demonstrable and more visibly in pain in the game or on the sideline he would have believed Cutler was injured. So basically, if Jay had acted more injured and feigned trying to gut through a bad injury it would have made Whitlock feel more convinced of Cutler's serious injury.

The entire "debate" about Cutler was despicable, but Fox always finds a way to surpass their previous dishonesty and shamelessness and continues the utter lack of any journalistic integrity within the entire Organization.

During the Bears victory over the Falcons on Sept 11, Fox Sports displayed the following headlines:

“Cutler Leaves With Injury”

“Cutler Lacks Courage”

“Cutler’s No Leader”

Then Darryl Johnston relayed “these are the actual headlines from the local papers in Chicago.”

Of course, they are not. The Chicago Tribune called Fox and got the following quotes from Fox Sports spokesman Dan Bell, "It was misleading." "The wrong word was used." "Our attempt was to capture the overall sentiment nationwide following that game.”

I don't know if someone over at Fox has a grudge against Cutler for demanding out of Denver or for failing their fantasy football team. But, the Fox Sports lies and maligning of Jay Cutler did not end with Week 1 but carried over into the Week 2 match up with the New Orleans Saints.

I don't listen to any Fox broadcast preferring Tom Thayer's erudite descriptions and Jeff Joniak's hometown partisanship over at WBBM 780.

So, last week when Fox Sports sent their #1 Team, I muted the tv broadcast from Where is Troy Aikman's Brain? and the inane blatherings of the overrated Joe Buck. So while I saw Fox broadcast I didn't hear what was being discussed until afterwards.

During the game as the Saints were beating the Bears, Fox showed several wide angle shots of Jay Cutler standing alone far away from the rest of the team. Joe Buck wondered 'I don't know why Jay Cutler is standing over there by himself' as Fox continued to hammer away at the Cutler is No Leader meme they have adopted. Finally, Troy Aikman had to halt the constant Cutler bashing by stating, he also watched the game far away from the bench so that he could see the entire field.

This is worse than misleading, this is outright fabrication and lies. But, then, Fox Sports is a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp. As Gregg Rosenthal wrote for NBC Sports over at profootballtalk, Why make up headlines when they could just hack into Cutler’s voice mail and create a real one?

Update:
I believe most Bears fans wish Cutler had responded to his critics thusly

Pray for Rain or Is it Warm in Here

In 1948 the Boston Braves had the slogan "Spahn and Sain and Pray for Rain" and in Baseball this was a reasonable plan for victory, but Prayer to fix weather conditions hasn't been a productive strategy since the Days of High Adventure...

Hysterical Raisins pointed out that last week Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin Asks Oklahomans to Pray for Rain on Sunday July 17; “I encourage Oklahomans of all faiths to join me this Sunday in offering their prayers for rain.”

Now, the response was a week of record heat across the entire United States. But, worse than the belief that we can pray for rain, is the work Faux News, the Republican Party and others are doing to undermine any effort to confront Climate Change.

As the temperatures soared last week and the drought deepened in Oklahoma and Texas, the cadre of snide climate change deniers were nowhere to be found unlike when Sean Hannity said, "Global warming, where are you? We want you back," after a large blizzard in February 2010.

Mother Jones has done the best at breaking down the Climate Change deniers and their varied throw up a screen of denial/skepticism/bullshit tactics:
A Field Guide to Climate Change Skeptics - by Kate Sheppard
The Dirty Dozen of climate Change Denial - by Josh Harkinson

Denying the fact of Climate Change is yet another litmus test for potential Republican office holders. Another No-New-Taxes Grover Norquist Pledge, another Vander Plaats Gay Marriage is bad and blacks were better off under slavery Pledge. And since confronting Climate Change poses the possibility that the GOP's owners, the Richest 1%, might lose some money from having to stop dumping tons of pollution and poisions into the environment it's easy to see why the entire Republican Party is willing to let the earth burn.

Additionally, it will be interesting to learn if the email accounts of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia which lead to Faux's months long expose of nothing were also hacked at Rupert Murdoch's insistence.

If Rupert Murdoch has nothing to hide...

Then all of his communiques, financial statements, personal emails, correspondence and all other data should be made available to the US Department of Justice. Along with every internal memo of Fox News and News Corporation.

If Murdoch doesn't make all this data available then I and the FBI can correctly conclude that Rupert Murdoch and members of Fox News are involved in a massive criminal conspiracy which needs to result in them being stripped of all assets prison sentences and a utter revocation of all broadcasting licenses. After all if Rupert Murdoch doesn't have something to hide then he would make that information available!

Murdoch's testimony overseas was a load of bollocks. Here are some of Rupert's sudden failure of perspicacity:

Asked by lawmakers why there was no investigation, Rupert Murdoch said: "I didn't know of it."

"I'm not really in touch."

"If we were to comment on anything now, it could result in guilty people."

"A lot of people had a lot of agendas in pursuing this hysteria."

"I'm sure there are headlines which can occasionally give offense, but it's not intentional."

"I don't know the details of what we're doing."

"I may have been lax in asking more."

"I think that we are more open than the United States."

"Most people say I've got crazy ideas and rise against me.

"I'd say, 'What's doing?'"

"I'm not sure what I said."

"This is not as an excuse, maybe it's an explanation of my laxity."

Rupert Murdoch is a criminal propagandist, whose tapestry of deception has planted the seeds of ignorance and division which will take a generation for America, Britain and every other nation who has been befouled by his pablum and lies to overcome.

And now we add Murder to Rupert Murdoch's list of Crimes?

Rupert Murdoch has been involved in an in-plain sight covert operation to undermine the United States and the United Kingdom. The scope of this dastardly plot is finally being realized with the uncovering of a massive spying and hacking campaign that Murdoch initiated at the behest of his Chinese Controllers facilitated through his wife.

Okay... That's a bit too much of The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, but what Rupert Murdoch has been engaged in is a decades long campaign to brainwash and dupe millions of people. He has felt no compunction in having his paid propagandists lie everyday to achieve his goals. The question we have to ask ourselves as a people is; What were those Goals?

The Prime Goal of the Ruling/Dominant Class has been to convince enough Americans to vote against their own economic self interest. And Murdoch's Propaganda Machine was highly effective at achieving that goal. Millions of Americans are so duped by Murdoch's lying that they support a political party Which Is Voting Right Now to eliminate Unions, steal Social Security, eliminate Clean Water regulations, destroy the EPA, OSHA, and do away with Medicare and Medicaid while giving Billions of taxpayer dollars to Banking Cartels, Private Jet Owners, and Oil & Gas Multination Corporations.

But, Rupert Murdoch's criminal electronic hacking and harassing operation is getting more and more insidious and sorted as the days go. And now... the prime News of the World whistleblower, Sean Hoare, against Murdoch turns up dead?

"The death is currently being treated as unexplained but not thought to be suspicious. Police investigations into this incident are ongoing."

And what does Faux News have to report on this issue? Why they blame the Liberal Media for "piling on" and purposefully confuse subject and object by claiming the Hacking Scandal carried out by Rupert Murdoch and his criminal underlings makes them the victim.


The Right Wing Blogs and major websites spent weeks and countless posts attacking Anthony Weiner's... umm... Weiner, but a criminal operation to invade the privacy of regular citizens, 9/11 victims, dead servicemen and 13 year old children? To harass them via electronic means and to blackmail officials orchestrated by Rupert Murdoch? Well, that gets no attention.

And why do the Right Wing Conservative blogs have nothing to say? Why are conservatives ignoring this story? Quite, simply because it involves something which does not conform to their alternate views of reality and the false conservative narrative they have crafted.

The false Conservative narrative has been a long effort to sow so much ignorance, hatred and discontent amongst the poor class so that the Ruling Plutocrats (that alliance of Politicos, Military Elites, Banksters and Industrialists) could more easily succeed in maintaining and increasing the transfer of wealth to themselves. And that is Rupert Murdoch's biggest crime, a campaign of lies, obfuscation and deliberate ignorance designed to bring about a Neo-Feudal World.
