What the actual fuck. “Oh it’s fine. Just a little arsenic and mercury.”

Jesus fucking christ.

If they were racist it would be one thing, but they generally aren’t, not are they significantly homophobic, they just want everyone to stfu and sit the fuck down.

HA. Okay, sure.

Never compare the Midwest and the south.

I’m gonna.

Midwest is ABSOLUTELY not about hate.

They just want to be left the fuck alone.

You mean they don’t want to deal with the social issues the costal cities have dealt with.

I mean, presumes facts not in evidence.

Okay, but there’s no intellectual debate in those instances. The king said attack (or the equivalent thereof) and the soldiers did their jobs.

In Brooks’ case he willingly ignored all the evidence of his eyes and ears, and the pleas of whoever he was undermining to support war criminals, racists, and bigots. For decades. And now, the final glorious result of all his work turns out to not be to his liking? Great. Here’s a shovel, David. You suck. Now get to digging. And no, we’re not renewing your column next year.

Yeah and good for him, but he’s not getting a cookie. So he can get in the back with the rest of us and chant or whatever his thing is, but you know as soon as he gets his wish to get rid of trump he’ll be right back to propping up the next trump for the same morally bereft intellectually dishonest reasons.

Again that’s just a weird focus since the ‘hurt people’ thing applies to your other examples, but - fair enough. It’s not a contest.

Given that the midwest, southwest and mid-atlantic also voted majority trump that seems like an odd focus, but okay.

So we’ve consolidated China-russia. Noice.

5D chess, demented rapist.

Rubio is a horrible sack of shit. What an unctuous turd.

I assume headline writers want clicks.

Yes, and It’s This.

One of several relevant points:

Cambridge Analytica worked on campaigns in several key states for a Republican political action committee. Its key objective, according to a memo the Observer has seen, was “voter disengagement” and “to persuade Democrat voters to stay at home”: a profoundly disquieting tactic. It has previously been claimed that suppression tactics were used in the campaign, but this document provides the first actual evidence.

These stories are starting to feel like the “Trump could be in big trouble now” headlines where nothing ever fucking happens.

Hilarious and pathetic.

Like Brexit.

When people say “you used to be able to have honest debate with the other side,” David is the only one who in my lifetime that may have been true for.

Well, no, because honest debate recognizes truth and Brooks has fought The Obvious Truth for decades so he can perch in his comfy conservative cheerleader costume.

His bullshit has been nasty for decades and PBS happily smeared him all over their news broadcasts for just as long.

I won’t have any part of either now, because of that. Hooray he’s vaguely cognizant that Shit Do Be Fucked but holy god man, what a complete fool.

We don’t want things to go “back to normal”. We want REVENGE. Heads must roll.

He’s no convert. He’s a conservative commentator. i.e. a grifter, a fool.

See I still remember when I didn’t have to scan my face to get a machine to do something. And that’s the way it will always be. For me.
