      Even sadder than that is the fact that it is not by accident in my opinion. For Russia's purposes, Putin couldn't have asked for a better partner than D. J. Trump. Wonder how that ever happened?

          I see the usual posters still haven't gotten over their TDS. You guys still don't get it that years of Obama; the media and lefties telling folks how bigoted, racist and evil they are has inured them to your disapproval? Left wing politicans have set the bar so low that almost no-one cares if Trump plays too much golf or makes gaffes or says things that you tut-tut over.

          Nobody cares about your worthless moral approval.

              Well Trump is literally Hitler, and Putin is a Russian Communist so basically we have Hitler+ Stalin making an alliance. I guess the next step is Trump betraying Stalin, invading Poland, and then Russia. I'm mildly surprised that you can't see it coming.

                Please, Max, don't give the boy any ideas! He might get that confused with his weekly 'liberal talking points for dummies' fax.

                    I have come to believe that the US conservatives are irredeemably evil, and unsavable scum. I have largely quit TWeb because I no longer have any interest in dialoguing with the deplorables here, as I have learned they are so deplorable, stupid, ignorant, hate-filled, foolish and genuinely horrible people that dialogue is worthless. It's not a matter of one or two being a little bit bad, it's the whole bunch. They won't learn, anything, whatsoever, they just get worse and worse as people and even talking to them is nauseating. Their president will fail, their Republican party will fall apart, and their country too, and the bulk of insanely evil hate filled US conservatives will die of old age and the rest of the world will breathe a sigh of relief. Then the dems will sweep to power with supermajorities in 2020 and begin to gradually put the basket case of a country back together from the ashes.

                    There is nothing much more to be said, because as you rightly noted Maxvel, not merely did conservatives refuse to learn from or accept any of the corrections suggested to them during the Obama era, but they are now at the point where literally nothing said by anyone makes it into their head because they dwell in alternative-facts land within their crazed right-wing media bubbles. The need to be committed to the insane asylum. They have become pathological and beyond any kind of correction or censure, as you aptly note in your final sentence.

                        Thank you ever so much, Star, for those kind words.

                        There is nothing much more to be said.
                        But I'm sure that won't stop you from trying again. But, next time, try telling us what you really think.

                          So, after declaring "there is nothing more to be said", you say on!!!! Bravo!!!!!

                          Star, do you have fever with these fits?

                            It's a form of Groupthink. They reassure themselves by validating each others stupidity. If they can get their fellow deplorables to agree with them then they must be OK. Sad.

                            That's if the bombs haven't gone off thanks to the schoolboy recklessness of Kim and Donny.

                                Sorry, that's all the further I got before I burst out laughing.



                                Besides, nobody, is irredeemable.

                                Not even you.

                                Than a fool in the eyes of God
