Yes, yes he is. Because admitting the truth would mean that they were wrong, and given the choice between feeling good and being wrong they choose feeling good.

They do the same thing with “He tells it like it is” to “That’s not what he REALLY meant”

Still, his approval rating being in the 30's three months in is unprecedented and very telling. But you can fool some of the people all the time so there will be diehards. You can generally count on a base of at least 40% to support you no matter what, on either side, and this has been the case going back to the…

I don’t think that’s true of all of the people who voted Trump, but it’s certainly true of the people who still somehow support someone who is objectively a failing and incompetent president.

It’s charming how quickly his backers can switch from “Donald is an alpha male silverback gorilla who will not shit from anyone” to “Donald is a precious little baby who is not accustomed to Washington, D.C., and must be sheltered from those nasty politicians”. Supporting Donald is a tremendously corrupting enterprise.

If Paul Manafort does not plead the 5th, then the guy will perjure himself. It’s a win win as far as I’m concerned. He will be asked about the millions he took from the pro Russian Ukranian former president; he will be asked about the millions he took in behalf of Putin’s regime; he will be asked about his role in…

Trump has “perfect genes” but unfortunately he’s unable to fit his fat ass into a par of jeans.

You forgot ‘Obama fucked up his health care bill, I will destroy health care! Death panels for all!!!’

That was amazing. It is absolutely clear it was news to him.

Just a friendly reminder that Hillary was saying all of this before the election and even on TV, but nah, her emails...

If this investigation doesn’t lead to trump being impeached, the little faith I have in our democracy will be completely dead.

We see the dueling influences of Bannon, the outsider who wants to destroy the system, and Trump, the total outsider who wants the system to be responsive to him, but has absolutely no clue how the system even works to begin with (and isn’t smart enough to figure it out). But yeah, it’s the kind of thing you see in…

LOL! Yep. You got it! They don’t care. Why do it? BECAUSE THEY CAN. When you sit down in a booth at a restaurant, do you automatically start checking all the decor to see if it’s bolted down or just resting there on display? Me neither. THESE GRIFTERS DO.

Exactly. For a man so fanatically, compulsively obsessed with image and appearance, I’ve NEVER seen anyone be so bad at projecting their desired image.

I was just ranting about this to my husband. Based on optics ALONE how do you not decide against this??

Some of the decisions this administration makes are just so in-your-face stupid, I can’t help but think they make them to actively spite the country. Tillerson’s office said he’s skipping his first NATO meeting, and will instead visit Russia, ON THE SAME DAY that the Congressional hearing on Russian interference in…

So funny!

Right?! I can’t look at her face these days. She bears no resemblance to the 1990s Gwen Stefani. I’d say she looks more like Heidi Montague or Malibu Barbie than Christina A., but she sure doesn’t look like herself.

Can we stop using Sesame Street as the PBS poster child? It’s an HBO show now. And the PBS cuts won’t affect it in the least. If PBS disappeared tomorrow, Sesame Street would still get made because its main funding comes from licensing and merchandise sales.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for defending Director-level and CEO-level positions in most companies - they’re often damned hard 70 hour+ weeks and essentially 24/7 on-call, at a level that is beyond the vast bulk of people.
