I don't want that asshole being the face of American foreign policy.
Oh I totally agree. I was just correcting what I think is an incorrect statement.
I think the ironic thing is Trump is a conspiracy theorist who talks out of his ass all the time, but I've seen him become the subject of many conspiracy theories and people speak out of their ass about Trump at a sort of crazy rate. There is some sort of interesting psychological phenomenon where when somebody doesn't like someone's politics they are willing to believe anything negative about them. A good portion of the Snopes page on Trump gets repeated on here like it's fact. If you are going to criticize someone, you have to remain grounded in reality. Like Trump being the most right wing candidate ever, not just currently, but ever. I know Lemon retracted that, but I bet there is a good chunk of people who believe it. You'd have to believe he's to the right of people like Pat Bucannan, Barry Goldwater, George Wallace, Ted Cruz. etc etc etc. I mean, what??
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
