We see things through different lenses. I'm not debating you anymore. It's a waste of breath and keystrokes for both of us.

I'm gonna have a blast watching your boy burn down to the ground though.

What's the record for the quickest Presidential nominee to have to resign their post? Flynn is going to smash it.

I didn't vote for Trump. That being said, that dossier sets a dangerous standard that will degrade journalistic integrity even more than it already has been. If something cannot be verified with hard information as opposed to this nebulous backstory that sounds like it came out of a bad James Patterson novel, then people shouldn't be running stories with sensationalist headlines that give credence to things that aren't true. Trump is the easiest target in the world: why use a dossier with inconsistent information as a card against him when the continued lack of any hard evidence only fuels his argument?

There's a serious possibility within the next two election cycles that someone is going to co-opt the Democratic Party (or perhaps the GOP) and take the opposite approach to Trump: they'll use money and influence quietly to use the media against the American public's best interests in the future. We were already on a slippery slope with Obama in that regard on some things. It's only a matter of time as social media becomes more and more prevalent in our lives. You think getting to the bottom of a story is difficult now? Wait 'til all the various media companies owned by people with a vested interest in the Democratic Party begin to leverage their positions in 2020.

It certainly is entertaining in a "everything he does is straight out of a Terry Gilliam film" kind of way.

Yeah because you don't have to live here in this country while it's happening.

The Batlord 02-11-2017 05:06 PM

It would be even more entertaining if he wasn't so ugly to look at.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 02-11-2017 05:40 PM

i agree with all of these things

The Batlord 02-11-2017 05:45 PM

Seriously, his hideousness stopped being funny a long time ago and now it's just tedious having to see his face constantly.

You can't blame it on the media. Blame it on all the stupid ****ing people that just eat the **** up. A lot of people that would never have voted for Trump ended up voting for him just because of all the lies the media put out there about him. Which is also stupid, but hey. Welcome to America where the GED is supposed to be the equivalent of a high school diploma despite it being 7th grade education. And people still struggle with the GED. But hey, doesn't matter if I actually learn this ****, just as long as I can pass the test so they don't cut funding to my school other wise they'll have to diagnose more children with ADD to make up for it.

Hillary Clinton could have been in any one of those pictures and been just as ugly.

Goofle 02-12-2017 03:10 PM

More ugly.

The Batlord 02-12-2017 03:12 PM

TBH not really

Chula Vista 02-12-2017 03:25 PM

What does aesthetics have to do with it at this point?

Indeed. Total parroting. Ant's losing more and more credibility with each passing day.

To paraphrase: Grasping at straws.

Most definitely. Hillary looks like she's been dead for 10 years.

I've not seen this but there's nothing more punk than mainstream partisan politics I'll tell you what.

Goofle 02-12-2017 05:46 PM

There's definitely an element to the right that is counter-culture. It goes against their typical education and the media bias as a whole. But I don't really consider it to be "punk", even when you consider the anti-government principles.

To be fair, my original post was built on the idea that I think most conservatives don't always feel the need to make themselves into a victim but if you say that's not the reality I'll accept it.
