You get it. It’s astonishing to me that at this point so many people still don’t see it. I keep saying that once you peel back all the layers of bullshit, there’s nothing there at the center of trump. All he is is bullshit. To one degree or another this is true of all narcissists. They deal in personas, exclusively.…

I’m surprised because the Intercept’s response to his allegations is so catty. I figured they’d love it here.

I half-suspect they kept Sanders around as long as they did because they knew on some deep subconscious level people were repulsed by her. You put all those lies through that personality in that face and you create maximum revulsion. It was all part of the trolling. They were basically daring liberals to criticize her…

Amphetamine psychosis. Just sayin...

I think I commented about this at the time, but the mismatch in reds really makes my eye twitch.

Megyn “Ju-on” Kelly.

I don’t know if they’re explicitly christian, but when I was growing up they were the sort of ultranationalistic that took for granted that america was christian. The kind that uncritically swallows that old school interpretation (“under God is in the pledge!” sort of thing).

I always give serious side-eye to anyone who unironically welcomes any republican to “the resistance”.

Thanks for the explanation. I guess part of why it’s so weird to me is that he’s so insufferable (and I loathe his voice).

He’s the sort of crusty democrat who feels like he has to project an image about being “tough on crime”. It’s not the first time he’s jumped at the opportunity to flex on that - sticking his foot in his mouth in the process.

I did not know that any Latino group liked Morrisey. How weird...

“Professional bald-faced liar condemns man who lied to her.”

Exactly. “Small government” has always been a smokescreen while republicans further restrict our right to self-determination. Even if you look at it in terms of the actual size of the government, it’s fucking bullshit. Who created DHS? Who consistently bloats the military budget? “Small government” is just a way of…

That actually makes a lot of sense if we think about it in terms of neural plasticity. We find it much easier to learn new things when we’re younger, and this tapers off as we age. It’s not that we’re incapable of learning when we’re older, but rather that it takes a more concerted effort to do so. In general, humans…

People tend to become more conservative with age not the reverse.

A huge, empty, blank book is the perfect metaphor for a trump presidency.

I think a lot of leftists are just sick of the snarky centrists claiming Biden is a progressive, or that “we can push him left” once he’s in. I don’t know how they can continue to claim that with this bit of news, though. And the message it’s sending to the left is basically “fuck you”. So, there’s that. There’s a…

He’s been poisoning discourse in america since the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine. Well, he tried a few times before then, but Reagan unleashed him. 32 years of hate. I hope it hurts.

I have no doubt that he was actually having fun. He and his followers delight in cruelty.

I’m quite disappointed that this isn’t already a thing - not just in this particular instance, but rather in general when countering right-wing propaganda. The right is waging all-out information warfare, and the democratic party is just taking it, more or less. Where are all the think-tanks? What happened to…
