Yeah this was actually really on point.
I'm getting so tired of watching a few conservative media machines destroy our country by spilling out endless lies and conspiracy theories just to keep their ratings high. And I don't understand why people keep going back to them even after time and time again they find out the things they were being told were lies. Obama DID have a birth certificate. The ACA did NOT have death panels. Climate Change IS real. Trump DID have extensive relationships with the Russian government and mafia. Obama did NOT wiretap Trump Tower. There was no spy planted in the campaign. There is NO evidence the Democrats colluded with Russia (to lose the election, apparently). Trump's crowd size was NOT larger than Obama's. Trump did NOT fire Comey because he was "too mean to Hillary Clinton".
It's this endless spew of garbage, and it genuinely twists and warps people to the point where they won't trust objective facts anymore. It's like talking to anti-vacc'ers. They've been trained to distrust the medical industry- which is the only industry that can produce the facts and information to disprove their fears of vaccines- so there's no actual way to change their minds. Fox News turns its viewers into the conservative version of that- making conservatives paranoid about all nonpartisan media outlets and even fact checkers (which is INSANE). So there's no way to use facts to change their minds.
Because facts had nothing to do with their beliefs in the first place.

Another one who breaks ranks but only because he's also retiring. The GOP is chock full of cowards and their base is nuts.Rep. Tom Rooney (R-Fla.) on Wednesday went after President Trump for his repeated claims that the FBI planted a spy in his campaign, suggesting the president spread the theory despite knowing it was false.
"What is the point of saying that there was a spy in the campaign when there was none?" Rooney told Politico.
"It’s like, ‘Lets create this thing to tweet about knowing that it’s not true,' " he continued. "Maybe it’s just to create more chaos but it doesn’t really help the case."

"Obama did have a birth certificate"
"The ACA didn't have death panels"WASHINGTON
Two supporters of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign reportedly shared the claim that then-rival Barack Obama was not born in the United States and thus was not eligible to be president.
One was a volunteer in Iowa, who was fired, Clinton’s former campaign manager said Friday. The other was Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal, according to a former McClatchy Washington Bureau chief.
The issue arose Friday as Donald Trump finally acknowledged that Obama was born in the U.S. Trump, a leading champion of the debunked “birther” conspiracy theory for years, attempted to blame Clinton for starting it when she ran against Obama in 2008 for the Democratic presidential nomination.
"Climate change is real"Buried deep within Obamacare is a provision that takes away health care from you and your doctors, by taking away payment for critical health care that may be needed to save your life. It is called The Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB).
The board will be independent of you, your doctors, your hospitals, Medicare, Congress, the judiciary, the democratic process, ultimately even the Constitution itself. As the Cato Institute tried to warn us five years ago, IPAB is “independent in the worst sense of the word: independent of Congress, independent of the president, independent of the judiciary, and independent of the will of the people.”
IPAB is to be composed of 15 unelected bureaucrats appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. But the board and its powers are so dangerous that even President Obama never made any appointments.
Starting next year, if Medicare spending is projected to grow faster than the rate of economic growth per capita plus 1 percentage point, IPAB is empowered to make a proposal that will cut Medicare spending at least to the targeted growth rate. IPAB will be proposing such Medicare cuts every year starting next year because historically, Medicare spending has grown every year by per capita economic growth plus 2.6 percentage points.
Of course climate change is real, man made climate change is not.
"Russian Collusion"
Trump is still your president.

Oh, look! It's Parkbandit calling someone else "flailing in ignorance" while pretending that Trump didn't go on national television and admit, explicitly, that he fired Comey in order to obstruct the Russia investigation.
Isn't reality just inconvenient, shit-for-brains?
