    Seriously. There is nothing bringing these ignorant shitstains back to reality. If you don't believe me take a fucking gander at the amount of people on social media who believed the photoshop of the flag being burned in the Seattle Seahawks locker room.

    An example from my own news feed from last year. Remember the picture being circulated of the large black dude in camo with a machine gun during the Dallas shootings? Remember how it turned out to be fake? Someone (since blocked) on my news feed shared that pic and another person corrected her and said it had been proven to not be the suspect. Her response? "Don't care." Yup. Summarizes it well. They don't care what the truth is bevauee they're damn determined to believe their own, just like their Daddy does.

    Some Trump supporters are people who made a bad mistake and are still unwilling to admit it. The others are just irredeemable. Social shunning is the only way to deal with them.

    Painting people with broad strokes is even more irredeemable.

    What broad strokes? Gee stated that some made a mistake and others are irredeemable. What other group did he miss? Are you arguing that it wasn't a mistake to vote for Trump? My God, nearly every day brings more embarrassment and division on our country. I voted for W the first time and I admit it was a mistake in my mind. But i would never accuse those that were happy with their vote irredeemable. This is very, very different however.

    Trump called San Juan’s mayor a weak leader. Here’s what her leadership looks like.

    On Saturday, Cruz dismissed Trump's tweets with a smile. She was dressed in combat boots and cargo pants as she oversaw the distribution of supplies from San Juan.

    "The most powerful man in the world is concerned with a 5-foot-tall, 120-pound little mayor of the city of San Juan," she said.

    Suddenly, many others were concerned as well. Cruz fielded calls all day long from U.S. senators and business leaders. Reporters mobbed her for interviews. And all day long, her criticism of the relief effort did not soften.

    "It's like a clogged artery," she said of federal government's bureaucratic hurdles. "The heart has stopped beating."

    When asked if there was anything political in her barbed remarks, Cruz denied it.

    "I don't have time for politics," she said. "There is a mission, and that is to save lives."

    Then in the middle of an interview, the mayor got a call about a generator catching fire at San Juan hospital. She quickly mobilized her staff, barking out orders like a general.

    And, within minutes, she was rushing once more out into her city.

    True. I'm sure many players will still kneel. And Trump will have a series of stupid tweets one way or the other. It's all he can do. Because he sure as shit can't do his job.

    I only paint people with broad strokes when I see them being jerkoffs 11 times in a row. Unfortunately, that happens all the time on social media.

    Also: Someone said the other day that Trump sounds like a kid giving a book report for a book he didn't read.
