Why has RT registered as a foreign agent with the US?

jamie

#RussiaToday (RT) is US News from a Russian perspective. As long as you understand that fact…that this is the #PutinApproved US News…when you are reading it, what’s the problem?
I mean, That is no more invalid than #FoxNews from a #GOP perspective or #MSNBC from the LIberal perspective. You just have to take the information in perspective. Sure, #RT doesn’t spend much time criticizing #Russia, in the same way that #Fox rarely criticizes the GOP (#Trump being a notable new…and increasingly frequent…exception). So what?
RT often covers our news without censorship…something OUR media has forgotten…which means you get news THEY don’t want you to see. You also get pure #propaganda pieces, and everything in between.
Know thy enemy. That’s what they say, anyway. Not that Russia need be our foe, but doesn’t it make sense to hear their side of the story anyway? America doesn’t need our media to protect us from “fake news”…we need to educate ourselves to recognize it. The best way to do that: Read EVERYTHING…not just OUR government’s “Approved” versions of the news.
Here in America, they can’t force you not to read foreign news like they do in Russia. All they can do is discredit the sources that dispute their “version of the truth”, and convince you that you are wasting your time reading anything except what The US Government and the approved news media outlets tell you is OK. Sounds like a recipe for a disaster to American Democracy, if you ask me. But it does explain why this political tit-for-tat move, forcing RT to register as a “foreign agent” goes deeper than first glance.
And yes, #Russia is doing the same to our media now too.

Senate One Step Closer To Allowing Drilling In Fragile Arctic Wildlife Refuge

jamie

Big frowny face. Call your Senators. Make this stop.
We HONESTLY don’t need that oil or gas. We DON’T. Ask the energy traders…oil supply is being ARTIFICIALLY LIMITED TO PROTECT PRICE by OPEC. Big Oil Companies just want to SELL as much as possible before the bottom falls out of the market, as alternative energy takes over. This is purely an obvious “last blast” attempt to gouge as much money out of the market before it collapses…and they want to destroy pristine wilderness and displace wildlife to do it.
It MAKES NO SENSE. Make it STOP!
#DumpBigOil ! (someplace else besides our oceans, please)

Kimmel Asks People if Hillary Clinton Should Be Impeached

jamie

There’s two right here.
Can we vote for it? Does our Constitution allow for National Referendums? It should!
Fuck Congress, give power to the people. So we can educate ourselves and teach the world about REAL Americans, instead of dropping bombs on their children, from faceless, unmanned drones. That Shit…THAT says something about America, and it’s not something good. #StopKillerDrones #FireCongress #EducateToEmancipate #Resist

Why do people still think the Earth is flat?

jamie

Because there are fucking idiots on our planet, that’s why.
Thank a teacher. Or a school district. Or a flawed public education system, that fails to prepare our children for life as productive members of society.
Doesn’t anyone understand how important it is to have the BEST schools in the world? At least you can see the importance of NOT having the WORST schools, right? Because schools teach this stuff. #Science…it’s about finding #Truth. Science isn’t a matter of opinion, unless you don’t understand the science behind things.
And we’s definitely raisin’ us some fools, who don’t get the science of ANYTHING. I mean, we’re talking about people who deny the world is round, while gravity is holding their ass to the couch cushion as they watch DirecTV…you know, from a satellite…in space…orbiting around…our planet. Which they think is flat, so…I’m sure there’s an interesting explanation for how THAT works. Seriously…these are the same morons who believe lies from a blowhard like #Trump.
They are the undereducated and the ignorant. They are the product of our leaders trying to keep us all stupid…to their benefit, and the benefit of their wealthy, invisible sponsors.
$700 BILLION to drop bombs on our “enemies” around the world. Our entire 2017 budget for #Education, not even 10% of that at $67 Billion. #WTF??! Who has OUR priorities up their asses?
Tell #Congress to properly fund #Education before it’s too late…if it isn’t already. #resist
