It really sends a strange signal. Like they are making this move in the name of "decency" but I guess they have no problem with a guy defending taking healthcare away from millions of kids + poor people because he wears a suit and a bow tie and a three dollar grin. You can peddle any kind of indecent hatefulness so like as you so do it with civility. Or something.

A lot of people have pointed out that Ted Nugent was rewarded with his violent comments about President Obama and Hillary Clinton with a trip to the White House. Nothing matters to a lot of people nowadays except "what team are they on."

Not gonna say who said it, see how long it takes you to figure it out

I mean, OK, full benefit of the doubt: He knew what he was saying there. The people who matter (to him) knew what he was saying there. It was completely intentional and makes sense to those for whom it should make sense.

Fair enough.

Sooooo why did he delete it?

Oh I dunno, it's kinda fun having a look inside the minds of crazy people. Know thy enemy and all lol. I definitely don't bother trying to argue with them.

I don't really watch TV news, but wouldn't it be beneficial to have someone on like that just to have him constantly get destroyed by more educated people? Kinda like what Fox News does but destroying them with facts and arguments instead of yelling and insults?

See you would really think so. But it's part of the authoritarian playbook. People like Lord add small bits of trivia and misinformation and confusion to the argument, they don't actually add any real information. By putting him on an equal plane with Anderson Cooper for example, it sends a signal to the audience that he's an expert or at least has opinions worth listening to. This is a dangerous thing when I know, you know, and CNN knows that he's just talking out of his ass almost constantly. It's just one more reason for low-information voters to not trust the media and tune out completely, and when that happens Trump wins.

Oh you are definitely making the right call there. That board is an echo chamber, by design. Dissent is not allowed. It's right there in the sticky (and I'm paraphrasing).

Phenomenal article on Trump that is both beautifully written and the best take down I've ever read.

I may walk down and see what pops off.

You sure its not DS?

Good Griffin is easily the worst thing on tee vee. Never liked her.

What has Israel ever done to help/benefit the US?

mitt romney comes out in support of the paris deal. and of course elon musk says he will withdraw from trumps business advisory board (or whatever it is) if he withdraws.

Why do 45* and his droogs want to leave the Paris agreement? I've been searching for a coherent argument against the accords, but can't seem to find one, other than GLOBALISM BAD.

Probably kept Europe from sinking into another hole that might as well been equivalent to a major catostrophe with global repercussions. The. EU was a bad idea, Germany kept it from being an earth shattering idea.
