I can understand how people can not notice, since she talks so fast. It actually is a skill to be able to string coherent thoughts together at that speed. Of course, while they are syntactically correct, her arguments are usually dumb. But she's not dumb.

BLM is the new KKK. I mean

And she is on the daily show and we are posting politics on the message board of a 90 loss baseball team.

this is the first official sign of autocracy, btw. presidents of democracies do not usually hold rallies like this.

sign two is the lack of press access except for friendlies. if the press thought president obama held too few pressers (he did), they're in for a hurting. state tv (FOX, Breitbart, etc) will be almost exclusively used. There will not be open challenging of ideas. dissent is not allowed.

the third will probably be continued threatening of private companies.

the fourth will likely be an attempt to prosecute someone opposed to the regime.

wealth & fame does not = value or intelligence

It's unbelievable that she has a platform to spout this shit. BSG should take over the daily show

I have a recent (renewed?) fascination with EQ and forms of intelligence other than what is measured with IQ. I don't think it's useful to dismiss people because they make flawed arguments, particularly so if those arguments are resonating with people.

BLM=KKK is obviously absurd, but some people nod their heads. Why?

i think she certainly has an aspect of intelligence that knows how to market herself and knows what lane she can exploit.

she's also wretched.

It's a deeper question than I'm prepared to answer, but my larger point is that there's a reverence for people that make public spectacles or rile up angry emotions in the masses and I think it's one of the baser & more troubling things about humans.

It's a perfect storm of confirmation bias and projectionism.

Yea. It's over.

108 billion in student loans are going to be forgiven in the first year after the 10 yr repayment plan that was created!!! Yay

OMFG - CNN collected some Trump supporters, which is a demonstrated what a clueless lot they are. I know the left has plenty, but these people are idiots. Complete morons.

Trump kids running the business OK, GOO, GREAT! They are great kids, raised right. Chelsea Clinton is corrupt because she is the product of government!

Trump disclosure has happened. He said that the has "the best" properties around the globe. (edit: WTF) They don't care about his taxes because he is a private citizen, but the Clinton and corrupt congress need to disclose because they are corrupt.

Clinton's only did things to get rich from government, like writing books and giving speeches. Trump doing the same is sharing his success!?!?!?!

Apparently this is before the Carrier details, but there were 'no intensives. No incentive. None, guaranteed.' Then there was some muddled discussion about saving US businesses. Of course, Carrier is a state gift to Carrier of ~$700/employee/year for 10 years (that seems like the settled low to me BTW).

Wow, these folks should be seen to be believed. I hope the video shows up on line. I damn near broke my coffee mug while I was washing it with the TV on in the common area. (funny story, since the election the TV has been on Fox news pretty often, versus almost never before).

Unemployment rate is 4.6%

178k jobs added in November

Wages up 2.5% this year

It's a hellhole, folks.

Unemployment drops to 4.6%... Trump camp is making noise that they have something to do with that. The Trump factor so to speak. Shameless.

Wikileaks is now targeting Germany and Angela Merkel with info they got from Russia. She has an election next year.

Nothing to see here.

The economic cycle is not lining up favorably for Trump's reelection chances, tbh.

KAC is such a vile person

One of my favorite comments from the session:

The strangest criticism of the media, however, was by Trump’s former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski.

His complaint: Journalists accurately reported what Trump said.

“This is the problem with the media. You guys took everything that Donald Trump said so literally,” Lewandowski said. “The American people didn’t. They understood it. They understood that sometimes — when you have a conversation with people, whether it’s around the dinner table or at a bar — you’re going to say things, and sometimes you don’t have all the facts to back it up.”

And, often, no facts at all.

Hollande has decided not to seek a new term as president. Things got much brighter in France as far as preventing a hardliner from winning.

so when does hero rapist Wikileaks go in on the French election?
