I detest Dinesh.

thecarebear.bsky.social•90 days ago

He’s bogus. He’s a fraud and convicted felon.

Education does not provide guaranteed immunity from ignorance.

howdoipants.bsky.social•90 days ago

In terms for fraud targets, doctors are number one next to the elderly. Their education is extensive but it is narrow. It gives them a confidence in how smart they are which is easy to exploit by fraudsters.

hawkattack.bsky.social•90 days ago

I work in healthcare. If there were a litmus test that doctor's had to pass regarding matters unrelated to healthcare, at least half would fail. Many of them are the most clueless, self-absorbed dolts that you could ever meet.

What's worse, many have zero self awareness and practice until they're

hawkattack.bsky.social•90 days ago

FINALLY forced to retire because admin can't keep covering for them. We were just talking this morning about one of the surgeons that our hospital forced to retire only a few years ago, he's been in poor health for a while and would lean against the wall in the OR while Resident's performed surgery.

Brainwashing is real

paulytheism.bsky.social•90 days ago

ESPECIALLY their degree

cash4x4.bsky.social•90 days ago

All of these people now saying they lied or weren't given the proper information should not have a restful night the rest of their lives. I was going to say they should be ashamed but they have no shame.

lightloveandpeace.bsky.social•90 days ago

And should we make the argument that this “director”, since he knowingly pushed misinformation, should be responsible for any and all adverse consequences from the film? Might encourage more responsibility when making films or putting out information as “news”. Accountability is necessary!

sickofthis.bsky.social•90 days ago

Sometimes the most intelligent are also the dumbest amongst us

susassy.bsky.social•90 days ago

Very true!!!!

meidassiobhanog.bsky.social•90 days ago

Good thing that he didn't break out with leeches....

seanin60seconds.bsky.social•90 days ago

My aunt and uncle (kind, educated, successful people who I truly love) sent me ‘Hillary’s America’ for Christmas in 2016 and told me they “learned a lot from it.” I deposited it into the trash immediately and never brought it up again.

zestychinchilla.bsky.social•90 days ago

Oh that's it, NOW the jig is really up. Gonna hold my breath now for the consequences

unclepeneaux.bsky.social•90 days ago

Dinesh wants a job in MAGALand.

ogreporter.bsky.social•90 days ago

Nothing has shown me that dumb smart people can be than the post-pandemic world. The number of doctors who believe the crazy shit is just astounding.

secretoriginz.bsky.social•90 days ago

My mom's eye doctor is a vaccine skeptic.

angelanason337.bsky.social•90 days ago

It's disappointing to see such baseless attacks on doctors. The article's claims are likely biased and lack credible evidence. Propaganda can be insidious, but it's essential to rely on fact-based sources to make informed decisions.

gonky127.bsky.social•90 days ago

I had to change doctors a few years ago because I lost a job due to them sending 350 jobs to Mexico and laying off/firing everyone and my doctor went all in on how I didn’t deserve insurance if I wasn’t working, (it was an Obama care rant more or less.)

brianmwise.bsky.social•90 days ago

That's...

Not a funny story at all

I remember when everyone used to say "doctors know best" and the reality is they're a mechanic for your body.

Like all mechanics, sometimes they get it right & sometimes wrong, but if they show me jaw-dropping ignorance they don't work on my 1978 Olds.

brianmwise.bsky.social•90 days ago

Like they might have guessed right when it comes to my basic operation like "do you exercise" and "do you eat food that isn't basically churros dipped in beef tallow" but that's as basic a mechanic question as "do you change the oil" and "you know you should stop driving when brakes fail, right"

helenajmontana.bsky.social•90 days ago

Most consumers of propaganda do so with great enthusiasm and huge appetite.

live1619.bsky.social•90 days ago

I had a friend also push the 2000 mules and I just sent this article to him also to shut him the hell up. He is no longer a good friend by the way.

dewdrop5.bsky.social•90 days ago

My trumper sister told me I needed to watch this movie. She believes all the crap.

andreatwitmo.bsky.social•89 days ago

Oh Noooooooooo!!!!

😮😬😱😳😧🤯😟

humanisthound.bsky.social•90 days ago

Odd he didn't admit this BEFORE the 2024 election, when it could have done something.

Anyone who watched that trash heap with a critical eye knew it was all fiction, d'sousa continued to promote it and profit from it.

Dude is still a scammer.

jbry.bsky.social•90 days ago

Yeah, my dad nearly died of COVID because the first doc he saw prescribed him hydroxychloroquine. In 2022.

ferst60.bsky.social•90 days ago

Reminds me of an antivax nurse

artweber.bsky.social•90 days ago

2000 mules damage has already been done.

Please remember propagandist's guidebook:

* Tell SO many lies truth and falsehoods can't be distinguished
* REPITITION of lies becomes truth
* Tell lies that appeal to EMOTION, not intellect
* The BIGGER the lie, the better

Sadly, GOP has learned well.

kaymae.bsky.social•90 days ago

Hope your medical care is in good hands now. Yeesh!

latestdisgrace.bsky.social•89 days ago

Next Conspiracy - That's not Dinesh, It's an imposter!!!! 🤪

mskesha12.bsky.social•90 days ago

It shows how much ignorance has permeated America that there were so many dumbasses that bought into this bs.

mskesha12.bsky.social•90 days ago

That was obvious, he should've never been allowed to not face accountability for that BS based on lies about the I tegrity of our election.

usuallydope.me•90 days ago

I think it’s funny how’s he’s been rage tweeting the last couple days about Hunter, completely forgetting He himself was also pardoned by a president. 😂

immortal-kahn.bsky.social•90 days ago

Yup. My buddy is a doc with several clinics across texas...he bought his whole family trump NFT's for xmas...not this one...LAST ONE. That doc hasn't come around so good on ya.

shawnfoss.bsky.social•90 days ago

Sad part is MAGA folks still claim the movie is accurate, and that it was just this one instance where the video didn't match the cellphone data.

mary1804.bsky.social•90 days ago

You know the old chestnut, “what do you call someone that graduates last in their class at medical school?”

twoandseven.bsky.social•90 days ago

Do you know what they call the person who finished last in medical school?

"Doctor".

lasophie.bsky.social•90 days ago

Similar story: I had a beloved MD for several years, whom, at some point started to push prayer groups to me as a way to help my chronic illness...I found a new doctor right away.

jaimel.bsky.social•90 days ago

Doctors with shitty politics is like the least surprising thing ever.

cgfrangos.bsky.social•89 days ago

Ditched a dentist who had his writing room covered in trump crap back in 2016.

drbrapp.bsky.social•90 days ago

Lots of advanced degrees don’t require much critical thinking, and high income really warps your brain. Engineering has similar problem to medicine here

childlesscatperson.bsky.social•90 days ago

Wow. Just more proof that getting your news in a news silo, whether it be right or left wing, is pretty much just as indoctrinating as religion and turns some people into dangerous zealots even when the crazy stuff gets debunked by their own side.

kelvarnsen.bsky.social•90 days ago

Dinesh D'Souza, Trump fluffer extraordinaire:

actuallevi.bsky.social•90 days ago

Dude went to Princeton. That's how you know he's a liar.

kelvarnsen.bsky.social•90 days ago

Dinesh D'Souza is perhaps the most vile of all the cretins in the Trump universe.

Watch as he literally mocks and laughs at police officers who were injured defending the US Capitol:

mrcontrariwise.bsky.social•90 days ago

Just remember the old joke about what they call the guy who graduated last in his class from med school.

slammerog.bsky.social•90 days ago

2000 Mules influenced 77,000,000 voters.☹️

antonshadow.bsky.social•90 days ago

99% Of What Comes Out A Any Republican's Mouth Is Complete BS. And Courts Have Repeatedly Confirmed That Fact During DEFAMATION TRIALS/SETTLEMENTS... Just Ask FOX FICTIONAL NEWS...

downtheocshore.bsky.social•90 days ago

Really?? 😂😂 I’m shocked.

jenxpaige.bsky.social•90 days ago

well, that's a sad effin story

stanley14.bsky.social•90 days ago

Wow

fiz.bsky.social•90 days ago

My family med rotation was in VERY rural tennessee. The clinic doubled as a pain management pill mill.

The doctor literally gave his patient Chick Tracts.

ahuihou.org•90 days ago

conservative doctors consistently provide worse care for their patients than liberal ones. Don’t @ me.

jennyinexile.bsky.social•90 days ago

I'd love to see this widely reported, wouldn't you?

rowdyrody.bsky.social•90 days ago

I can safely say I know more than a few otherwise intelligent people who have fallen for right wing propaganda. I worry and am not sure how democracy can function in such a highly contaminated information environment 😕

susassy.bsky.social•90 days ago

I think a lot of us are worried about this and the fragility of our democracy

fairbanb.bsky.social•90 days ago

My dad, who died before Trump ran for office, was brilliant in many ways. He also believed that aliens built the pyramids and would share that idea with anyone he met.
Some people who are used to feeling special adopt stupid beliefs because it lets them keep feeling that way.

susassy.bsky.social•90 days ago

Interesting observation

rowdyrody.bsky.social•90 days ago

I agree that in essence feeling special is the appeal to conspiracy theories including Q variety. It allows people who feel dislocated or otherwise depressed to add what they believe is value to their lives by knowing something the “sheep” don’t know ñ. It’s hard to see how we break this cycle.

cherlundq.bsky.social•90 days ago

In your dad's defense, a book series came out beginning in 1968 with a book titled "Chariots of the Gods." That series argued that aliens built the pyramids. The book contained aerial photographs and detailed explanations. Even people who hadn't read it heard about it.

susassy.bsky.social•90 days ago

I remember that book and the conversations it promoted!

cherlundq.bsky.social•90 days ago

Yes! It was very popular. The picture I used was the 50th anniversary edition. I read it and at least one other, and no, I don't believe aliens built the pyramids, but his arguments are compelling.

meidaskiesha.bsky.social•90 days ago

jlg45.bsky.social•90 days ago

Some more gaslighting propaganda from the Great sultan of bull and snake oil salesmen

carolannete.bsky.social•90 days ago

Many smart people decide what they want to believe on emotion, then tune out evidence to the contrary and put a great deal of mental energy into defending their chosen narrative.

nothingbutbig.bsky.social•90 days ago

changed dentists for similar reasons. almost bit his fingers off while he’s 6” from my face breathing his anti vax speech into me.

northsleuth.bsky.social•90 days ago

It's not intelligence, it's how susceptible you are to Apophenia.

god229.bsky.social•90 days ago

It's disturbing to see such a blatant attack on a doctor's integrity. Credible sources like Medias News expose misinformation and disinformation, not perpetuate unfounded claims against medical professionals.

imaginaryerika.bsky.social•90 days ago

There are, sadly, a LOT of maga doctors out there.

withinthewire.bsky.social•90 days ago

I heard about how I just had to see this movie and that one about saving children more times than I cared to.

liveforpolitics.bsky.social•90 days ago

Wow- same here. My doctor in Chandler, AZ went full 2000 Mules on me. You’d think they’d be smarter 🤷🏽‍♂️

mark.tacular.social•90 days ago

Yep. Know an adolescent psychologist (MD) that was fully on board with all RW conspiracy theories.

The worst part - he was MD level at psychological warfare. It was fucking awful. And abusive to his gf/fiance. Happy ending though, got her to dump his ass & he destroyed all social credibility.

iamcooki1970.bsky.social•89 days ago

You can’t unring the bell.

fairbanb.bsky.social•90 days ago

You owe Dinesh a big thank you.
Any doctor to be taken in by such blatant lies is not someone you want to advise you on your health.
2000 Mules exposed him for the moron he is. I hope you found a replacement grounded in reality.

dolorosasantos.bsky.social•90 days ago

Laura Ingraham's former boyfriend.
