“I was speaking to the man who had just run for the presidency and won the election for the presidency and who might have done so with the aid of the government of Russia, our most formidable adversary on the world stage,” McCabe said in an excerpt aired on CBS on Thursday. “And that was something that troubled me greatly.”

This is how cults work. They gradually alter people’s brains, attuning them to a singular voice, and weaponizing them against any dissenting opinions. To their manipulated minds, efforts to reach them with objective truth become acts of aggression against the one they see as divine—and trigger an ever-more passionate affection toward their leader. They will defend (even to relational death with people they once loved) that one person.

America is in a cultic crisis, and Trumpism is the cult. There is no other way to approach these days.

When you believe one man above Science, above our Intelligence agencies, above former CIA directors and retired generals and revered journalists—when you believe that one man above even your own eyes and ears—you are fully indoctrinated.

I dunno. Between cultists and the paranoid, it is a fun show to watch.

I had to laugh at "revered journalists" though. That was good.

thats because you’ve been brainwashed into thinking that they are “Lügenpresse”...

a common problem.

easily solved by reading, and truth.

Nice to know my brain is clean and free of the stuff that will rot it out. WOOT!

[Simon of the Playa]

yes, your brain is obviously free and clear.


i rest my case.

[Skuzzy61]

There was a case? No one told me!

Oh yeah some are just so deep in the kool-aid it’s nuts.

I guess if your politics is as bankrupt as a Trump casino, all you have left is to laugh like a second grader while your fellow degenerate dismantles civil society.

...and then add some feeb response with all the humor of a mooped pee jug.

Seriously, if you are going to defend Trump you have zero clue about literally any principles, including playa related.

I'll probably vote for Trump again in 2020.

I mean just to help keep this thread alive.

lol! It is a hoot.

I am just glad I do not get sucked into this stuff like some do.

EDIT: I mean when a topic reaches the point where responses are overtly absurd, it just gets to be hilarious. It's not like anything is being solved. It's just a bitch fest. hehe.

well, since you have nothing to contribute,

Sucked into what? Self awareness? No chance.

But at least Trump is moral, smart, and honest compared to his supporters...

Nate White, a writer from England, details a British perspective on Trump:

"A few things spring to mind.

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.

For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.

So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once, ever.

I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility - for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is - his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults - he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface.

Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront.

Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.

And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist.

Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.

He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.

He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.

That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.

There are unspoken rules to this stuff - the Queensberry rules of basic decency - and he breaks them all. He punches downwards - which a gentleman should, would, could never do - and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless - and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority - perhaps a third - of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
* Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
* You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.

After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.

God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.

He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.

In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish:

'My God… what… have… I… created?

If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set."

Just because I find humor in all this mess does not mean I do not read. Your failure to see it as a contribution is your short coming. I am the plucky comic relief.

Then again, you do a good job of providing giggles too. I am sure you do not intend to do so, but I can look at things in a rather twisted manner.

Feel free to ignore me. Won't hurt my feelings at all.

[lucky420]

“plucky comic relief”? Not really

[Simon of the Playa]

is it comedy if only the plucky comic thinks it’s funny?

probably not.


more like masturbating in a mirror.


but hey, YOU DO YOU, BOO.

[Skuzzy61]

Well, it is all a matter of perspective.
