In a sane world we would have affordable Healthcare. But we have fox News here, so we don't. Literally fox News is responsible for 90% of our problems bcz some stupid high percentage of republicans only get their news from Fox, and they've demonized any kind of socialized medicine.

I was subjected to that shit today, and you know what they were 'losing their minds' (knowing it's all fake outrage) over? Joe biden getting "too much ice cream."

I fucking kid you not.

~~And you know... Fox news is Disney. Which is Marvel and Pixar and...~~ I talk bullshit.

Actually no. Disney bought 21st Century Fox but without Fox News, Fox Sport and a few others. Those were spun off into the Fox Corporation (owned by Murdoch) or sold off to Sinclair and Comcast.

Fox News ended up in the Fox Corporation.

I was wondering about why left-leaning Disney would host far-right fox news. So I googled and it turns out they don't.

Upvotes for admitting you were wrong and not removing it. Being wrong isn't a big deal. Not being able to own up to it or hiding it really is.

Fucking republicans not one redeeming quality from any of them.

Fox News are scumbags, no doubt, but most republicans are for med for all. Our scumbag politicians on both sides of the aisle are the ones who are fucking us over.
