I think it may be that Boomers are still manipulating everyone (unless they are in their mental decline), but considering the rise of conservative talk radio in the 80s, anyone younger than that might just be a conspiracy-ridden psychopath. 

As Charlie Pierce has mentioned htere now exists a strain of conservatives that no longer understand the con, they believe this stuff wholeheartedly because the con has been going on for decades now.

These days I can’t tell if these Republican politicians are cynically manipulating the useful idiots or are one of the useful idiots that got elevated somehow.

What a piece of fucking shit. Bevin visited my workplace when our company relocated to Kentucky — I was getting off the elevator when he and his aides were waiting to get on. It took every ounce of my strength not to flip him the bird and tell him to “fuck off” right to his face. If I wasn’t wearing a jacket with my…

Would love to know Bevin’s thoughts on other key players in the 2008 crash...

In addition to being necessary for the end times (and I mean, the whole moving the embassy to Jerusalem thing lines up with that) these are also the “good Jews” who are busy oppressing brown people.

It’s odd how Republicans always alternate between their seemingly undying love for Israel (which is actually just a pawn in their play for the end times), and anti-semitic dog whistles that have every neo nazi nod with approval.

I remain intensely baffled about how George Soros, who admittedly and openly has helped to finance democratic revolutions against autocracies all over Central and Eastern Europe, and thus is legitimately feared by every democracy-hating autocrat in the region (such as, say, Putin), has somehow ALSO turned to be feared…

Kentucky (sorry to all of you who live there, but your voting record sorta speaks volumes) isn’t a fan of ‘the Jews’ or ‘the Gays’ or ‘the Blacks’.

How much is Soros paying people these days? I could surely use some extra cash.

The funny thing is Trump was the one who decided to let the press stay after the photo op, apparently thinking he could suck up all the oxygen in the room and outshout them. The even funnier thing is he won’t learn from the experience - he never has before - and will do it again.

Saw the entire video. Once he crossed his arms (won’t even mention the toilet slump), his body language screamed, “NO! NO! NO!”  Not surprised he had a hissy fit.  Pretty sure he called Pelosi and Schumer a lot of 4 letter words, especially Pelosi.  Don’t understand how he doesn’t have a stroke.  

Those people are truly delusional. 

That’s why the “Trump throws tantrum about meeting” narratives going around are pretty naive—-Dump never, ever accepts that he lost a debate, so that tantrum was all an act.

I think I have an allergy to Weastasian cuisine. Something about the Weast doesn’t go down smoothly.

Not dutifully playing along with his idiotic spastic made-for-teevee act is the surest way to get the waddling orange feeb’s temper stoked. The gasbag thought he’d use his television carny skills to humiliate “Chuck & Nancy”, they didn’t bite, he broke out in flop sweat then stormed off like the overgrown infant he…

Trump was made to accept responsibility for something negative. He hates doing that. He only wants mindless adoration from his clueless followers. Obviously he’s still going to blame the Democrats when it does come to a government shutdown, but for a few brief seconds, he admitted that the buck stopped with him.

Wait, but I thought that Nancy and Chuck were going to crawl into the meeting and give Trump $25 billion and promise to help build the wall themselves. At least that’s what was going to happen according to the top notch analysts on this website.

How did the bill go from 20B to 5B to build a wall? Is this a down payment?

So republicans are saying trump won this. Ugh. Talking to an acquaintance who at least used to be reasonable and he was giddy about this meeting. Didn’t care about a shutdown (because he’s a moron apparently) and said that Schumer couldn’t even look at Trump and Pelosi really wanted to get off camera as soon as…
