    Nope. I stopped right at the part where you said, "all liberals."

    Because it's fucking stupid.

    You are vastly overstating this.

    Ninety-nine percent of people aren't "liars." Or even "hypocrites." They are rationalizers. Very simply, people in America pick a political side, and they then find a way to rationalize the actions of that side in nearly all circumstances. "Liberals" aren't "lying" when they "defend Bill Clinton's record of abusing women." They find a way to believe, in all their heart, that it could not have happened.

    Democrats invented the game of personal destruction and identity politics? Do you have a source on that? Even a fake news source?

    Look, politics is a dirty business. No one who gets things done will do it without pissing someone off or leaving people disappointed.

    But it's also a matter of degree. And, for myself, when I see Trump make all kinds of false statements and promises and contradict himself without a care, I think that is hard to shrug off with a "Hillary lies."

    I'll take your Harry Reid and raise you 25 years of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh.

    Plus, Reid's whole thing could have been avoided had Mitt shown his tax returns.

    You really don't think the fake news sites are a problem? And you really think that the 2012 landscape is the same as 2016? These things are an epidemic. The fact that Harry Reid issued a one-off mistake in 2012 is just your usual misdirection. This is very different. Web sites are creating salacious news stories out of whole cloth and circulating them as real news, and Americans believe it and spread them around. It's a serious problem, and I wish you'd put away your knee-jerk reflex for a moment and recognize it. You get mad when the damn New York Times uses an adjective you don't agree with. But this you're OK with.

    Now that Hillary lost, I wonder how many more time the Republicans will investigate Benghazi?

    Great point. You didn't say "all liberals."

    So again ... my question remains. When you say:

    ... did you mean "All liberals"? "Some liberals"? "Most liberals"?

    Now you'd advocating reading the entirety of a message? Does that now include tweets?

    Point remains, having said all that during the election, you won. Game over. THis is getting to be the wrold's longest in your face end zone celebration. On to 2017. Have an inauguration dance at the ball and get to work. Stop whining about media bias and every slight since Watergate. You. Fucking. Won. Act like you've been there before
