Why do people insist on quoting flaggy? Makes my ignoring him far less effective. Flaggy, like all who are of his persuasion, lies. Constantly. They lie when the truth will help them. It isn't a mistake. It is a tactic. Just keep repeating the outrageous lie and people might end up believing it. Those who employ this tactic don't care that they are lying. After all, they're liars. So it is a win for them. If someone eventually falls for the lie repeated time and again, that is a huge win. If not, what do they care? After all, they are liars.

When somebody like Flaggy lies, it is sad and pathetic and I can't figure out why they do it. When the trumps of the world lie, at least I know they are doing it because they don't care about the rest of us and are simply looking to enrich themselves. If there is a Hell, it has a nice corner for the likes of trump. I really want to believe that.

Sorry, every once in a while, I check a post out, and get angry all over again. Reminds me why I ingored the fool in the first place.

Maybe we all have an inner moron we need to face now and then.

I'm sorry. I've been trying to not quote him, but I had to take a swing at the easy fastball down the middle. :o
 
Re: POTUS 45.12: Dan, does it take courage when encountering the covfefe?

Sorry, I slipped up. The lack of logic was so glaring I couldn't help myself. I will do better.

Flaggy is our village idiot, and though he is eternally frustrating in his ignorance and gullibility, we would probably stand up for him if neighboring villagers tried to bully him. He's also useful as an example of the kind of person who can simultaneously believe that Sandy Hook never happened and that Ping Pong Pizza did.

Someday there will be a trump supporter who has been persuaded to see the truth. Maybe reading this will turn a few around, I don't know. Don't laugh, after 108 years the Cubs actually won a World Series.

Infowars says they didn't.

So there you go.

Just because Infowars sticks to political news doesn't mean it didn't happen. Also, do you recall any of the claims that the Indians should have won the World Series because they scored more runs in the aggregate? Reminds me of another argument...

Say goodbye to science at the EPA.

http://www.startribune.com/trump-will-overhaul-epa-scientific-advisory-panel/429716393/

The Trump administration is remaking a key scientific advisory committee at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, according to an e-mail sent Monday to its members, including two at the University of Minnesota.

The committee was told that, contrary to past practice, members would have to reapply for their positions when their terms expire — a step that caused many in the scientific community to worry that EPA Commissioner Scott Pruitt will place industry interests ahead of science.

“They are wiping it clean and repopulating it with their own selection of people,” said Deborah Swackhamer, a U professor emeritus who chairs the advisory board. “It’s very concerning.”

Worry that Pruit will place industry ahead of science? They can't be that naive to just worry. Done deal. All of Washington is for sale to the highest bidder or the one who licks Trump the hardest. So utterly embarrassing there are Americans who still are too stupid to figure out they are being sold down the river. Proud to be an American- the slogan for sheople.

What amazes me is the GOP is allowed to lie about their positions at every turn. I'm not aware of Obama or the Democrats lying about what they were actually doing. These guys just get away with it. I don't understand why that is and why the media let's them.

Deflection, deflection, deflection. WHile Trump is acting a fool, yapping about being accused, etc people are focused on his narcissistic, sociopathic self (he loves any sort of attention), the real leaders are systematically deconstructing gubmint. all the ijits who want less gubmint haven't figured out some type of Fed Gubmint is needed to keep the country functioning. By the time they figure it out we will be in 3rd world chaos. We no longer have influence in world events and don't seem to care.

Because they're louder. It's not who yells the most accurate information, it's about the loudest voice in the room. With bravado and gusto, they boisterously proclaim that they're right, everyone else is wrong, and you can go fu** yourself. And the plebs eat it up because the "plainspoken, straight shooter wouldn't swindle ME!"


The GOP is all "me, me, me," and empty promises to those being screwed of "someday this could be you!"

Edit: I'm slowly inching closer to agreeing with "241 years was a good run. Let's let the GOP burn it to the ground. Maybe then they'll learn."

I'm running the other way, "better sixty years of tyranny than one night of anarchy." Faith in democracy is like faith in a currency: it holds only as long as we all share it. I would prefer anything -- even a reign of GOP error -- to avoid an actual reign of terror with bodies in the streets. Giffords and Scalise could easily get out of hand, and a vendetta cycle once started is nearly impossible to stop by anything but mutual exhaustion after a war of extermination.

There are many forces now eating away at the foundation of people's faith in our democracy. From the left is our 2-generation long post-modern insistence that there can be no universal values and that every institution that exists from the army to the police to the government itself is a footprint of a power relation. From the right is the eternal adhan to contain and punish The Other, after which God will "clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire." (Matthew 3:12)

I'm not sure where we get the energy for a new flourishing of democracy, but the impetus is the ongoing slow motion overthrow of that democracy. We are in bad shape.
