Also while dealing with being publicly groped by a PASTOR at Aretha Franklin’s funeral! This young woman’s life is basically female experience on blast.

I know, right? Totally amateurish. I’ve run tighter bake sales!

Amateur hour by the Billings GOP organization. Always carefully select and properly vet your rigged crowd! You could have planted those staffers right off the bat and avoided this whole mess.

As an exception, Kurt Vonnegut fought in WWII, came back to the US and raised 3 children with his wife, adopted his sister’s 3 young children as well when she died of cancer and his brother in law died in an accident, and was a consistent voice in criticizing the rising reactionary political Right in the US. Seemed…

Only problem is that the Senate Republicans are all like:

“Frankly, I’m surprised that Judge Kavanagh is not demanding that every document that he’s ever handled, be reviewed by this committee,” Dean added.

I love watching progressive idealist marks act as though pragmatism is the enemy of progressive change when the reality is that it’s the successful pragmatists that create the atmosphere where progressive ideas can eventually take hold.

Right because he could make Joe Lieberman vote for it how exactly?

All of these comments are goddamned Democrats eating their own. I hate my fucking party and it’s circular firing squads. JFC..........

Yep. I grew up with kids who were taught that smart people become truck drivers or farmers and that college is for stupid people.

Those people are just trying to maintain any delusion that allows them to avoid admitting they made a mistake.  

Dunno man... read the comment section at Fox (make sure you liquor up before you do this), his core supporters still thinks he’s playing 4D chess or something.

You know those people who Kimmel talks to on the sidewalk? The ones who cannot identify a single country - or even continent -on a map of the world?

THIS.

“Smart” to these people is “you agree with my naive, poorly informed, often twisted world view.”

Comfortable lies vs. uncomfortable truths and all that.

Scary. Tragic, and scary.

Also completely unsurprising.

Remember, these are much of the same people who believe that you don’t need to be a scientist to assess the evidence on climate change and that having an educashun is a pretty good sign of being a commie to begin with. “Smart”, for them, means sharing their opinions, because if they call someone “smart” who thinks as…

“As a representative of the President’s cabinet I can say l, without reservation, he is mentally unstable and a danger to the entire country that could result in many lives lost. Any questions?”

“He seems smart” wasn’t exactly what people told me. If I was stuck listening to a Trump supporter, it was usually, “Isn’t it refreshing that he doesn’t speak like a politician?” Or that he’s “more like me”. Note that smart or experience wasn’t a consideration.

OK, that explains him. Now, what about the nearly 63 million loons who looked at him and said, “He seems smart”?
