That's because we are naturally smarter. None of us drank the kool-aid.

Visceral disappointment with Podesta, Schumer, Mook, Pelosi, Wasserman-Shultz, Perez, and Hillary does not automatically imply support for Trump. In fact, quite the opposite is possible.

You know that's how religious thinking works as well, right?  That there's some unknown variables, and they make a bunch of assumptions that they can't justify, that always happens to lead to confidence God exists.

Isn't it weird how the answers are always what you want them to be?

you are so wise

CNN for the last 18 months or so seems like at least once a week been posting in big red text on the homepage how some event is going to be the end of the Trump presidency.  And every time that happens, someone posts in politics about the newest headline, with "Get ready for Jail Donny!"  But then a few days pass, and it's over.  And at no point during this 18 months has anyone taken a step back and said "Hmm, I think CNN may be sensationalizing these headlines a bit."  

Do you recognize the disconnect in what you guys thought was going to happen, and what actually happened with all of these incidents?  And that it keeps happening over and over and over. 

Remember Donald hasn't paid taxes since whenever.  And then they leaked his tax return to Maddow, and Rachel was like "Yup, he paid some taxes" as her big reveal?  And then that story about him never paying taxes disappeared forever and was never mentioned again?  The fact media was strongly implying something that was false never really got addressed. Just onto the next thing.

Just blink twice if you recognize on some level that you're being manipulated into some probably unjustified opinions.

Bernie Goldberg noted in the early 2000s that homelessness was a big issue during the Bush41 administration and again during the Bush43 term. And despite consistent and comparable rates during the Clinton42 era, media reportage of the homelessness issue nevertheless plummeted then. Bernie also discovered pointing out that discrepancy had some significant (negative) consequences for his career.

So what's noted here isn't exactly a new thing.

You're not really addressing his point. Calling him a Trump whore isn't defending your position.

Anomalocaris doesn't really matter.  They're just a caricature.  I was more curious in what Fireball had to say.

Remember when Nixon supporters were as delusional as Trump supporters are now?

Just wait until the BLUE WAVE in 2018.

He's too cool not to support. Go Trump!

I doubt that it really surprises anyone to learn that a mob connected real estate developer is crooked as shit.  What might have surprised some is how swiftly the republican overton window has shifted.  Here I was thinking that spineless cretinism was a dem thing.  Who knew.  

Meanwhile, while that window shifts, and as people see what they almost certainly knew before we ever figured out exactly how many ways the president was crooked....some start to think that stories go away.  As if Donny had suddenly stopped evading his taxes...,for example, lol?

Hey Donny, how much is that golf course worth? 50m
How much does the county asses? 30m
How much will donny pay for? 15m

Let;s all have a round of applause for the incredible shrinking billionaire. Guess who pays the difference? We do. Is anyone surprised?

Speaking of ongoing idiocy......looks like we want back into the TPP, after we shit all over the board and fucked our privileged position.  Who was it that did that, somebody remind me?
