Now that the government shutdown is over (remember the shutdown-?, feels so long ago now), Tropical Soulvangelical wants to announce that he has "fired" both Colbert and the BBC partly for their biased appeasements leading up to and through the shutdown. After he was shocked and upset about Colbert being cancelled as of next May, it was shortly after that in interviews like with Jean Marie Pierre that he said he supported the apparently undemocratic coup ouster of Biden in 2024, so then TSV figured that he'd only be getting the rip-on-trump satisfaction of things via Colbert, and would still have to search for a podcast or something else to get the satisfaction of the Spirit Of 46. He's still looking. And then after the shutdown came to an end he glanced at both Colbert's and Kimmel's video thumbnails about how they thought that those Donkeys that voted to end the shutdown somehow "caved." (TSV's keeping Kimmel on on a "probationary" basis). TSV thought that was a biased appeasement of the ABCD line, the Anti-Biden Central Donkey line, and also didn't buy the notion that nothing was gained from the supposed cave. For what it's worth, you -do- get a vote on the extended subsidies, but TSV also found out that even though his premiums are going up next year like pretty much everyone else's, he -wasn't- affected by the debate over extended subsidies after all. He determined that that debate had to do with salaries -above- 400% of the poverty line with respect to a measure that -Biden- (btw) signed into law around 2022 and not about salaries -within- 400% (because TSV is so dirt poor, because he just doesn't "work hard enough" to earn a six figure salary) with respect to default subsidies via Funny Named Care. Nevertheless TSV also has determined that the ABCDs spun a conflation of both above-400% and within-400% trying to make people believe they're both one and the same, for the sake of "scaring" people into supporting a logically fallacious ABCD line of things. TSV will look at his premium notices in the months to come, but he's willing to wager that he's more right in his research than the ABCDs are in their spin. And of course he sees it as consciousness of guilt on the ABCDs' part that they can't deal with and instead use deflection and diversion from what they did to Biden in 7/24 when TSV figured, again, they can solve 90% of their internal strife by admitting wrongdoing and trying to make amends. The reason why TSV fired the BBC is because in reporting the deal to end the shutdown, it occurred to TSV that all the BBC was doing was reading headlines from the US press (in this case, the Attack Dog News Network) rather than doing their own original reporting like they used to. So where international headlines go, TSV has elected to follow the World page on the PNG National newspaper web site. Those use Reuters and AP sources, but among other things it gives TSV insight as to which headlines about the US PNG feels are important and which ones they don't. It looks as though PNG'ans are aware who Gavin Newsom is, but may not have heard of Bernie. TSV was hoping that Glenn Kirshner would talk about -trump- getting Pam Bondi to look into -Donkeys- who are associated with Jeffrey Epstein like Bill Clinton for example, because TSV would hope that someone else other than just him would point out an apparent logical fallacy. Sure it's classic diversion (ABCD kind of knows about that one), but -trump's- trying to tell people that if there are any -Donkeys- who might have attacked children through Jeffrey Epstein, that somehow automatically means -trump- himself is innocent. It's like Al Capone trying to get a get out of free jail card by pointing out in court how Elliot Ness got a parking ticket. There's the possibility of both -trump- -and- Bill Clinton getting implicated. One person getting implicated does not automatically exonerate the other person, but -trump- wants people to believe otherwise. But right now -only TSV can see through the fog-. He believes that since no-one else has pointed out the fallacy, they're automatically being swayed by it. In a larger society oriented by the scourge of personal corruption, TSV sees people just outright buying logical fallacies at face value, because why wouldn't they? Whereas if we all followed the righteous path towards principle, we would be more critically thinking. But TSV is only one of only 144,877 people or so making an effort to stay on the righteous path.
