I've found that smart is a very relative term.


well, take muffin, for instance. say what you will about him but he's not dumb. he went from supporting trump for fun because "LOLZ IT MAKES TEH LIBERALS CRY" to passionately defending every single thing trump does. it was pretty fascinating to see him transform into a diehard trump supporter in the freedom topic.

Muffin's had changing political views for years though. I'm still holding out for my prediction that at some point he will support Stalinism.

that's true, but i guess i just find it impressive how many people trump has brainwashed and how passionate they are in their love for him. muffin probably isn't as diehard as the r/the_donald people but he's pretty damn close.

Tl;dr - it's worded extremely vaguely and barely gives any direction. So trump wants to be rewarded for doing something... but he still didn't really do anything. He's just trying to get the media off his back.


The good thing is that people are so laser-focused on the issue, the scrutiny wont go away until there is actual evidence of change.

Its not one of those things like Syria where its so far removed from us that its hard to verify what his orders are doing/not doing.

I guess what specific examples have you found of him that you believe to be pandering only to get votes? I'm not saying your wrong, it jus never struck me as true (or more true than in regards to other politicians) for Doug Jones.

Yeah, sadly, he is probably more qualified than even most other Democrats, but being from Alabama (particularly in a presidential election year) against a non-pedophile candidate, he's doomed. He might keep it within like 10 percentage points, maybe, but he has zero shot of holding on to his seat.

The thing I found particularly crazy was "I would've done even better if it wasn't for the scandal!" I don't know if he genuinely believes that, but that's banana cuckoo nutso crazy talk.

I'm not exactly disparaging him, just to clarify. But the whole article came off to me as disingenuous, often intellectually dishonest, pandering, since he has to try to appeal to so many groups with different, often opposed, interests. I'm not sure how else you maintain a coalition like that, but at least be a little self-aware, ya know?
