Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Pansy ass pearl clutching Kumbayah hippies like Daily Kos are WHY LIBS LOSE.

I just hopped over there and guess what are two of the hottest topics in the comments?

1) It's beginning to look "unseemly" and like a "feeding frenzy" to "continue to kick Trump while he's down." "It looks like we're trying to run up the score."

2) It's "unfair" and "sexist" to attack Melania Trump on the immigration or plagiarism stories "because spouses should be off-limits."

Kuuuuuumbayyahhh, Kuuuumbaayyyah!!

 

I'm not going to look, but I'll bet anything those are not the two hottest topics.

 

I'd love to know how Starman would describe this place to someone.

 

Envy of others, and the need to blame someone or something for one's failures in life. For some, chalk it up to mental illness.

 

Paging Sunshine and his acronym.

Yeah, maybe.

The problem is bigger than them, though. It's nothing short of the problem being the money and the Internet. It is an endless rabbit hole of political clickbait, outright lies, purposeful demonization, you name it. You have Web sites being underwritten and paid for by thinktanks and rich donors to push out garbage daily. You have people who get a charge out of a posture of total defiance. You have a guy running for president who's using sarcasm - that is, insincerity - as a defense.

People don't see "disagreement." They see a hero and a villain. That's purposeful. I'm not sure how it so easily changes. They don't know what's true.

And let's be clear: It's way more the GOP's problem than it is the Democrats' problem to this point. But the Sanders movement indicates it is coming to the Democrats, too.

 

It's back because the right wing donors, media and blogs bring it back, and most Americans who are weighed down by the Internet just go with what they're told.

 

God forbid we make professors pulling down $500K a year actually teach a class or two.

 

Well, I just got back to the computer. I note that much like I said, your post notes that ISIS really started to grow like a cancer the past six years.

 

That's a really nice strategy.

Everyone has to abandon Trump for staying outrageous things. No one should abandon Hillary for DOING outrageous things.

 

I am really, really, really skeptical that there's an epidemic of college professors making anything in the vicinity of $500,000.

 

Only two professors make more than $300K, and guess which departments the highest-paid professors are in? I suspect it's one of those bastions of left-wing thought.

It's funny when o_t claims people aren't pulling their weight, since he's either jobless or not doing the job he's being paid to do.
