It's too easy to underestimate the desperation of people looking to make it in the world. They aren't dumb for falling for a scam like that. Smart people can still fall for scams. Especially when they're desperate. Nobody deserves to be cheated out of their money by a weasel like Donald Trump or those Pakistanis who call all the senior citizens in the world trying to take their money or any of the other scam artists out there. Trump definitely doesn't deserve a pass on being such a terrible person.

Make fun of.

I see it more as celebrating his death. <_<

By all rights, attack his opinions and policies, those are fair game! This takes it over the line though.

Part of me thinks Israel is doing this all on purpose at the behest of the United States. Other part of me thinks Israel and Iran have been fighting shadow wars for how long and Iran has threatened to wipe them off the map for how long so maybe this is just a culmination.

The McCain comic is how Republicans are. Step out of line, and you get bullied by the party for disagreeing. They're practically a cult at this point, with Trump as their leader. Their idea of making the US great again is to upset liberals. I think bipartisanship died when the Republicans refused to let Obama nominate a Supreme Court Justice.

i like the "democrats fall in love, republicans fall in line" saying, as if that somehow paints democrats in a negative light. yeah, god forbid people don't "fall in line" when their party turns out to be in favor of horrible shit they disagree with.

i've never understood the "i only consume stuff i agree with" mentality. i don't consume much opinion content anyway but when i do it's usually from people i DON'T agree with. i very rarely watch the young turks or whatever. why would i want to see some people say stuff i already think anyway? that's boring.

but yeah, i know it's anecdotal, but on this board it seems to be mostly the conservatives who primarily read stuff that panders to them. sephyg often links to the national review, vlado to breitbart, muffin to reason.com, etc.

You are hella wrong on that. All this topic is, for the most part, is a reassurance topic of thoughts.

When the FBI raided Cohen's office, Tucker Carlson's big story was; Pandas are sex crazed.

I mean CNN has some terrible stories too, but it's highly inaccurate to say that they're 80% the same stories just spun differently.

The biggest thing going on right now is Israel and Iran, and I am not sure if I have even seen it hit CNN's front page yet (their actual frontpage and not the 500 or some articles that fall on the main website).

I always think its weird that CNN gets lambasted for being biased when MSNBC does not, at least not to the same level.

CNN is not nearly as biased as MSNBC, its just really sensationalistic, bad journalism. MSNBC actually is biased AND it gets way more viewers, yet someone it escapes conservative scorn.

They do quite a bit. It mattered during the election. Not so much now. Mostly now it is pointing to hypocrisy when brought up with her.

It is to the point I could care less about her anymore.

About as little as I care about some stupid NDA agreement with Stormy Daniels that CNN has pounded on their website almost constantly.

It also was definitely their top story last night. Like I said, their website isn't bad!

Also, Cohen increasingly reminds me of Gil from the Simpsons for some reason.
