Niki1 2 #2 September 30, 2017 He just says shit that is blatantly false. "The health plan won't hurt anyone", "The tax plan won't hurt the lower income people". If you tell a lie often enough people will believe it.Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

Phil1111 1,193 #3 October 1, 2017 By endorsing other "winners". I usually include a quote from the story but the whole article about nutty,nut Judge Moore from Alabama needs to be told. How this guy ever got elected to be a judge is beyond me. No concepts of psychology, interpersonal relationships, group dynamics, group think, mass delusion, can explain this nutjob. "crackpottery" just dosn't meet the smello test for this guy. Yet he won. https://www.salon.com/2017/09/29/roy-moores-victory-and-the-republican-feedback-loop-of-crazy/ This story has a bit of a description that address some of the illogical psychology of his "win". Yes. I am aware of the populist rage afoot in the land. I did not need Hillbilly Elegy to tell me about the alienation that working-class whites—especially in rural, economically challenged areas—feel toward the sneering, culturally blue swaths of the nation. (That said, the book was a ripping good read.) I am all too familiar with the bubbling stew of racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, nationalism, antisemitism, anti-intellectualism, anti-establishmentism, anti-governmentism, anti-mediaism, and revanchism that Donald Trump has ushered center stage in American politics. But seriously, Roy Moore? https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/09/the-lawlessness-of-roy-moore/541467/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch And a wheel on the trackAlways remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Phil1111 1,193 #5 October 3, 2017 How Trump turned against gun control When attempting to interpret Donald Trump's statements on firearm regulation, and how they could shape a presidential policy response to the Las Vegas mass shooting, the key is to note when he said them.... From then on Mr Trump - in his statements and on his campaign website - largely echoed the NRA's hard line on firearm issues. The group would end up spending more than $30m (£22m) to support Mr Trump's presidential bid. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41478293 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
