Russian Connection

THE RUSSIAN CONNECTION🐸🎶🇷🇺 - Randy Rainbow Song Parody

Randy covers several aspects of the Trump-Russia connection in ways that only Randy can. The parody starts with an "interview" with Trump where Randy asks him about the firing of FBI Director Comey. When Trump says the he's a "showboat" Randy takes off with it: "A showboat, well those are pretty harsh words coming from the Titanic."

When the subject turns to the administration's incessant lying, Randy starts in with the song, The Russian Connection, sung to the tune of The Rainbow Connection from the finale of The Muppet Movie.

The video wouldn't be complete without some sort of reference to Sean Spicer in the bushes, and Randy delivers. Enjoy!

Preconceived Notions

(from the Vocabulary.com Dictionary)

---

We all hold preconceived notions, often based on what we've seen in the past or on what somebody else has told us. It is all part of our brain's process of reasoning and decision making.

The internet and the digital age in general have made preconceived notions a huge problem, though. Any idea, no matter how outlandish it might seem, can be planted into the heads of millions in a matter of minutes and generate preconceived notions. The threat that holds for the free world is dire. Let's consult an expert ...

It has happened before and it is happening right now in the United States of America, folks. Some of what is going on follows the known formula for fascist takeover as if it came right out of a textbook. The relentless assaults on the truth, the use of the Christian religion to divide us, the blowing the perceived Muslim threat out of proportion using cherry-picked and even completely false information, the constant distractions , the bashing of the free press, the barring of the free press ... what have I missed? 

This isn't some wild-assed conspiracy theory - it is what is happening, right now. And the planting of preconceived notions is playing a major role. People, many of whom are fiercely independent and value their freedom, are being brainwashed with a bucket of lies and half-truths being spread on the internet.   

The internet also has the capability of undoing some of the damage that it has helped to bring about. The video below is a good example of how the internet can debunk some of our preconceived notions:

How many of these did you get right? Do you think that any preconceived notions you had played a part in your choices?

Let's all try to be aware of what our own preconceived notions are and wary of those who are trying to generate new ones.

Our Democracy depends on it!

Think!!!

Reality Check

If you think you have a right to an opinion that is based on "alternative facts" or out of context cherry-pickings, think again. 

Yes, we all have a right to our own opinions, but if an opinion is based on lies, it is not an opinion. It is a joke, it is a show of ignorance, you have no right to spread it around as if it was fact, and anybody who has checked the facts has every right to cross you on it.

This applies to both left and right, but the bulk of the "alternative facts" epidemic has come and still comes from the right. We desperately need to get out of our black hole of ignorance. Every single thing we see and hear via every type of media (radio, TV, print and especially online) needs to be verified to see if it is reality.

Too much work to check a story out before you share it? Keep it to yourself, then. Here are a few tips about posting. I'd be glad to list other tips, too, if you have them.

• If the article you want to post is mainly speculation but you'd like to put it out there to discuss it, identify it as such in your post. Don't put it out there like it's something that is for sure going to happen. It makes you look like a conspiracy-theorist idiot.

• If the headline is extremely misleading or false click-bait, even if the article checks out, don't post it.

• Is the article undated?  Red Flag!  No reputable media outlet will post something without dating it. Don't post it unless you thoroughly check it out, and then only if you state that you thoroughly checked it out.

• If it is old news or it is referencing old news as if it just happened, don't just post the article without stating the relevant date in your post.

• Look on the site you are re-posting from and make sure that it is not a satire or hybrid (part reality, part satire) site. Don't make yourself look like a fool by getting up in arms about a piece of cynical humor.
• "But it goes along with my views! I want to post it!" Don't post it unless you check the facts, especially when it is something that people know fits right in with your views. Keep your credibility; check it out first.

• "It's a free country - I can post whatever I damned well please!" If you want it to stay a free country, realize what a threat the spreading of false information is to our democracy and in turn, our freedom. Stick with facts!

• Be careful what you believe! Many political entities have an agenda, and that agenda is to get you to think the way they want you to think, any way that they can do it. Step back and look at the possible motives behind an article. Take the blinders off, hold it up to the light and question it with an open mind. That's not called being a liberal, it's called critical thinking.

Manipulating the Free Press

NPR: Spicer/White House Lash Out
Trump, Spicey, Bannon-Himmler, Miller-Goebbels and Conway and all of the alt-right media are calling things that have been witnessed and recorded by the entire world "false stories and inaccurate facts." Things we have seen with our own eyes and heard with our own ears are being called false. The press is being "mean" because they criticize things like this administration's trying to push its way through the checks and balances that exist to protect us from exactly what they are doing. To Trump, anything that doesn't fit is schoolboy agenda is called "fake news" and rejected. The supposed leaders of the free world have been blatantly and purposely delegitimizing the free press. 
Now they are starting to bar entities of the free press that criticize them. We aren't even on a slippery slope anymore - we are flying down the slope. WAKE UP, Trumpers! They are blowing smoke up your ass because they know they can - you have allowed them do it. Trump picks up a cookie and says it is a hand grenade or Spicer points to black and says it is white and you believe them. It has got to stop! You guys have got to open your eyes and start standing up to it!

The survival of our DEMOCRACY and the rest of the free world hangs in the balance.

Swedengate: Trump Mind Games

Trump Says, 'Look What's Happening In Sweden.'

 Sweden Asks, 'Wait, What?'

This is what Trump and his insiders all do - they throw what they KNOW is bullshit like this Sweden thing out there on purpose as fodder for Trump's followers, knowing that even if they retract it later on, it will have already become fact in the alt-right world.

Trumpers, can you NOT SEE this game that they play with your minds? Lie after lie after lie - open your eyes! It is the same shit that the Nazis did. Read your history books! 

NOTHING happened in Sweden. "The most recent terrorist attack in Sweden, according to The Associated Press, happened in 2010, when an Iraqi-born Swede carried out a suicide bombing, injuring two people and killing only himself."

Several media outlets discussed Trump's faux pas about Sweden. The above video is a conglomerate of the different media reports.

On a lighter note, people in the know say that this group of terrorist thugs was plying their wares in Sweden on Friday ...

Berating the Free Press

Trump's "Fake News"

Wow, even Fox News is disgusted with our man-child president. Holy shit - look at Fox anchor Shepard Smith go after him.

Guess what Drumpf - the "news" you watch on Fox and read on Breitbart are what is fake, not the mainstream media. But of course, I think you know that. You are just purposely trying to delegitimize the free press for your own agenda.

According to an article in Variety:

Shepard Smith, the Fox News anchor, on Thursday afternoon seemed to have had enough of Donald Trump’s slams at the media as peddlers of “fake news” — or, when it comes to CNN, “very fake news.”

"It is crazy what we are watching every day, it is absolutely crazy," Smith said. "He keeps repeating ridiculous throwaway lines that are not true at all and sort of avoiding this issue of Russia as if we are some kind of fools for asking the question." Smith then started to look into the camera and added, "Really? Your opposition was hacked, and the Russians were responsible for it, and your people were on the phone on the same day it was happening, and we are fools for asking those questions? No sir, we are not fools for asking those questions, and we demand to know the answer to this question. You owe this to the American people."
