    In a world with time4funs and cwolffs shrieking massive retardation all over the place and trying to turn everything about society upside down, there will be people on both sides who would rather Trump even if he's guilty of everything than anyone the left would put up.

    TLDR: People like you and time4fun are why no one cares.
    I think it’s more than just that. People are realizing that liberal policies are BS. They don’t produce what is promised. A party that is solely based on identity politics will eventually turn on itself.

    The best entertainment is watching liberal vs. liberal. The recent Starbucks debacle is a good example.

    The time4pulsingwithrage and butthurtswithwolves of the world will eventually just turn on each other.

Most importantly, the truth. "We hold these truths to be self-evident," right? Truth is the fourth word of that sentence. That's what we are. And if we lose that, if we lose tethering of our leaders to that truth, what are we? And so I started to worry. Actually, the foundation of this country is in jeopardy when we stop measuring our leaders against that central value of the truth.

    So we're back to being upset over words?

    It isn't spin, and it isn't blowback. In the cases you cited, where warranted, we have the legal system to take care of what needs to be handled accordingly. Otherwise yes, they're just words.

    Nope. It is blowback and its happening all over. Any little dictator we come down on and he can claim, "Fake News". They already do.

    There will be other unintended consequences of this presidency. We haven't begun to feel the repercussions.

    People can claim whatever they want. It wouldn't stop, say, a special counsel from doing their job.

    Calling Trump a dictator makes you look more ignorant and retarded than normal.

    That feat is extremely difficult to do, given your posts.

    Well done.
