You cannot tell the truth anymore. If you do, you'll be attacked. Maybe it will be for "mansplaining".
For anyone not familiar, I like to use the scene from Star Trek to illustrate a point. Captain Picard is being forced to deny the evidence of his own eyes, and say what his captors want him to say.
The point? I think it more like the kind of dystopia that awaits us when we allow an entity to intimidate us into saying what the controlling agents wants us to say.
To resist may mean a lifetime of misery and loneliness. You might have to have some luck to be rescued at the last moment. The temptation to betray may be extreme.
How many people have betrayed in similar circumstances? Imagine having to answer that one if you are on the "hot seat".

There are indeed four lights.
Seems like deja vu all over again.
It is a shame that an obvious truth is now controversial.

If believing one's sex can be changed, even though that is impossible, then why is it hard to believe that AGW is a hoax? Furthermore, why is it hard to believe that these people want to get you to believe false things as a matter of principle?

What can make these people become honest?
Comment:
Even though the things we have heard about have been thoroughly debunked, they will continue with this until election day.
This propaganda isn't likely to end UNLESS it begins to go badly for them.
Impeachment does not have to be successful in fact to be successful politically. We are nearly in an election year anyway. If the Dems can tarnish the President enough, they could deny him a second term.

Again, everyone knows the mainstream media is biased. Outlets like CNN should just acknowledge that bias and stop pretending they're neutral arbiters. That they won't, and insist on this charade of being unbiased, is a big reason so many Americans hate the media. https://t.co/AHTQtqW4Xp— John Daniel Davidson (@johnddavidson) October 14, 2019
Lines are being crossed
Comment:
Consider this. They are meeting in Congress, and they are excluding other members from participation. This cannot be legal. If they want to have a PRIVATE meeting, they can. But this is on PUBLIC property. Washington DC, and the Capitol is on public property. They don't get to appropriate it for their own use at the exclusion of other members of Congress.
What can be done about it? Well, one guy is nothing. But there are more than 1 Republican in Congress. Where are they?
daily update:
Looks like Gaetz is not a member of that committee. However, the House Judiciary committee votes out the impeachment articles, and so he claims a right to be there. But he isn't being allowed in.

How can the Dems do this and claim that it is legal? Gaetz has a right to be there as any other member of Congress. Congress includes ALL members. https://t.co/jW5yrtwuCB— Greg Meadows (@BootsandOilBlog) October 14, 2019
Do you people know what you are doing?

I am no fan of corporations, but I would think long and hard before I would give power to a dude like this.
The government created corporations. Therefore, they aren't purely private organizations. You can be opposed to making them more like government, and not be socialistic.
What the socialists are attempting here is a trick. It is to seize private property and use it for their own benefit.
It does raise some serious questions, but their answers are not good answers.

Another dead horse to beat
Comment:
The following embedded tweet is satirical, in case you may be inclined to take it seriously.
But it is also a reminder to not give these people ideas. If they could lecture without limits they would.
Not that it would change anybody's mind. Even in totalitarian societies in years gone by, the people knew what was true, and what wasn't.
Let's hope we don't go that way any time soon.

Beating a dead horse
Comment:
For all the good this will do, these clowns will try to convince the public of something that they haven't been able to convince for nearly the entire length of Trump's term in office.
It's like beating a dead horse, all right. That ol' hoss is deader than a doornail, and ain't goin' nowhere.

Obligatory, 10.14.19
Yesterday was one of the few times I didn't post something here.
I got a shingles vaccine on Saturday, and this pretty much laid me out all day Sunday. I'm feeling somewhat better this morning. Back at 'em, I suppose.
You have to get two of these. I already had one, and so the symptoms were not unexpected. Evidently memories are short though. I don't remember feeling it this much the last time. But now that I've been through it, I'd say bad memories are forgotten quickly.
Was it that bad? Well, I googled it, and the symptoms for chicken pox are quite similar. After all, that is what shingles is, in case you didn't know. These days, chicken pox is rare. There is a vaccine for it, and the incidence of this illness has been reduced to a rarity. Maybe people don't know about chicken pox anymore. Who knows? I had it as a kid. I figured everybody got it. It is probably not far off assumption for those in my age group to assume that everyone gets it. But it is no longer the case, so there may be people whose knowledge comes only from reading about it.
So there's the explanation for not having any posts up yesterday. Any rumors to my demise were greatly exaggerated.
