Looking for intelligent conversations once again. Was using the same moniker @chuckmcatee on that other platform. You're MAGA? You're blocked. You’ve proven you have no interest in a conversation. Oh, yeah, cat pictures. Always looking for cat pictures
!["The most effectual engines for [pacifying a nation] are the public papers... [A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers. This suffices with the mass of the people who have no means of distinguishing the false from the true paragraphs of a newspaper." --Thomas Jefferson to G. K. van Hogendorp, Oct. 13, 1785.
