Something that is not lost on Trump (although he wouldn’t necessarily understand it in these terms):

Yeah, Megan Garber actually had a really great article on Megyn Kelly’s firing this morning. Megyn Kelly started off her show by saying that she was done with politics . . . in September, 2017.

Maybe the 3rd year of bitching about purity tests will convince them i was right”

In total and complete fairness to NBC, my guess is that they were trying to ride some kind of conservative, reactionary wave to what they doubtless assumed was an Obama 3rd term Hillary Clinton presidency. Had Hillary Clinton been elected, I have little doubt that at the moment, Megyn Kelly would be getting

Yeah - instead of being based on fact, the truth is a narrative crafted by whatever a person wants it to be. I keep feeling like this particular problem is escalating but hard to tell whether it’s just my anxiety escalating. I feel like a year ago, it might have taken a day or two to get to this. Now it’s just where

This is the inevitable result of a media ecosystem where what “side” someone is on matters more than the facts or details of a given event. Any event must be parsed to fit a pre-existing worldview, in the case of these cretins that’s “leftists are bad”.

It’d be funny if it wasn’t so fucking infuriating.

It’s almost like unfettered capitalism is a bad thing! That relying on a centuries old system of mercantilism that could never have predicted the rise of a global economy, asymmetrical power systems, communications technology, and the rise of devices that allow us to actively deceive one another could somehow go

. . . I get that Megyn Kelly seems to have problems with basic social interaction, and she has trouble reading people, so I’ll help her out with a handy example.

Is your troll ass really trying to argue German grammar with a German publication?  

Anyone who supports Trump, regardless of reasons, is no better than the “nationalists” who claimed they were just “following orders” or “being patriots” at Nuremberg...and that defense didnt save them from justice and the hangman’s noose.

And he grabs ‘em by the posse?

This works because the President is insane and also a clown.

“Fuckin’ science; How do it work?”

Perhaps the same nonchalance won’t be afforded to the Democratic candidates for 2020, or maybe more likely, scandals like these are just the new normal.

Exactly, so stop giving a fuck what republicans and their base think.  Stop trying to fight for moderates that you will never get.  Follow their example and play to your base.  

I can only muster so much rage, so I’m not going to act like this infuriates me or anything. Chuck Schumer is who he is: a used car salesman who dreamed of more. He’s a schmoozer, and if he comes off as a bit greasy, well, in other times and circumstances, we’d need greasy schmoozers in order to get deals accomplished

Ughghghgh. If we take control of the Senate (unlikely for this time but eventually), who are we rooting for to replace ol’ Chuck? Because fuccccckkkkkkk thissssss.

Conservatives literally accuse the left of doing everything they’re guilty of. It’s a way to try to nullify the truth when they get caught.
