This post reminds me of how well mainstream media works.
I just find it laughable to think Forrest fires are up a thousand percent this year because of climate change or that we should willingly keep throwing blank cheques of trillions at the Ukraine.

Until a social worker gets shot and killed, media would be all over that.

I'm with you, a social worker can solve a lot of the problems and they can be successful 100% of time until the one time something goes wrong.

Nobody has said the only reason that we have forest fires is because of climate change, but rather it is indeed a factor. Because......it is. Nothing to do with mainstream media, it's science.

'Blank' cheques for America to Ukraine make too much sense. You can help an ally defeat an old superpower without putting a single American soldier on the ground?

It's not even really rooting for Russia, it's just rooting for the opposite of everything the other team supports, no matter how ridiculous it makes you look.

Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee agreed to former Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro's request for a speedy trial, set to start on Monday, October 23rd.

Seems impossibly fast, and Trump and probably others are going to try and split from that trial.
