Acts of resistance from inside detention centers show that, despite efforts to control and isolate immigrants, they find ways to fight back.

And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed -if all records told the same tale -- then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past,' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'

Media is awesome because it can show an organization trying to get rid a guy who is underwater with state Democrats by 50 points, undermines any Democratic policy, and is just completely off-putting to anyone who has to spend five minutes around him; and they phrase it as “seeding discord”

Republicans are the only ones who can get away with saying whatever the want and noting will happen.

The media will never ask them to apologize for anything. They don’t have to know what their own gov that they run is doing. Don’t even have to know how it works.
They can get away with anything.
