<\/p>\nRepublicans pulled a fast one for DST. And according to them, everything wrong in the world is the Democrats’ or Biden’s fault.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
First, one more piece about DST.<\/p>\n
Washington Post, Dana Milbank, 18 March 2022: The Senate accidentally agreed to move our clocks forward. Blame Putin.<\/a><\/p>\n This piece claims that the vote was rushed through so quickly, most of the senators didn’t know if was happening (they were distracted by worrying about Ukraine, is the point of the headline). Rubio and Sinema pulled a fast one.<\/p>\n \nThe Senate approved legislation<\/a> making daylight saving time<\/a> year-round. There were no hearings, no discussion, no debate, and no vote. It just happened, because nobody objected \u2014 in large part because many senators didn\u2019t even know it was happening<\/a>.<\/p>\n It took just 14 seconds to approve an order<\/a> moving Americans\u2019 clocks an hour ahead, permanently. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) rose, requested that S. 623 be \u201cdischarged\u201d from the Senate Commerce Committee, which hadn\u2019t approved it, then said: \u201cI ask unanimous consent that the Rubio substitute amendment at the desk be considered and agreed to, the bill as amended be considered read a third time and passed, and that the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table.\u201d<\/p>\n Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), the presiding officer, was complicit in the scheme. She quickly declared \u201cwithout objection, so ordered\u201d and then, in her latest <\/a>breach <\/a>of decorum, stage-whispered<\/a> \u201cyes!\u201d into the microphone and pumped two celebratory fists.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \\\\<\/p>\n In contrast to the above, Republicans, their MAGA followers, and Fox News reflexively blame Biden or the Democrats for everything.<\/p>\n Medium.com, 6 Feb 2022: Fox Report Literally Reverses the Facts<\/a><\/p>\n This is about a Fox News report about the “Top Ten Most Unhealthy U.S. Cities” in which the graphic identified, among others, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Diego, and Denver. Even, of all places, Irving TX.<\/p>\n The reporter, Dan Bongino, blamed the Democrats. \u201cLet\u2019s look at some major policy areas, right? The economy, healthcare, education, public safety. Where are economies struggling right now? Inner cities run exclusively and monopolistically by garbage Democrat politicians who don\u2019t give a damn about people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n First of all, Fox labeled Irving TX on its map when their source data said Irvine CA. That’s quite a difference.<\/p>\n Second, the report they made their map from, here<\/a>, listed those cities as the *healthiest* places to live in the US. Fox got it completely backwards.<\/p>\n Are they so blinkered by ideology they make up their minds to blame Democrats for everything that they misread what the evidence actually says?<\/p>\n Later, Fox removed the graphic but didn’t, by the time of the Medium article, correct their report.<\/p>\n \\\\<\/p>\n Similarly,<\/p>\n
