I'm gonna go out on a limb here and ask a very specific question......
What the **** are you talking about?

I never slink away.
Trump is not my champion but he has proven to be the lesser of the 2 evils presented us on election.
He has for the most part stood up to his promises and it is now obvious to many who "THOSE" people are and who is manipulating us.
I would love to see this play out in the open for all to see but it will be manipulated/twisted/made into sound bites and drop terms just as it always does.
They will ask how many body doubles the president has, and if the one in the film has been fired yet.
You seem to have a very cynical view of the people who disagree with you. Jonathan Haidt conducted an experiment where they gave people a questionnaire, which gave several moral scenarios and then gave multiple choice answers for how moral are those scenarios. People were asked if they identify as left, right, or moderate. A random portion of all the respondents were asked to answer the questions how they would react to the scenarios. Another random portion were asked to answer as they thought a person on the left would answer. And another random portion was asked to answer as they thought a conservative would answer.
They found that the moderates and conservatives were able to predict the answers of progressives far better than the progressives were able to predict conservatives’ reaction to the various scenarios. Haidt explained this through his moral foundations theory, without explaining the theory here, of the 6 moral foundations he’s identified, progressives prioritize care/harm far above the others.
I’m not sure that’s the whole story. Progressives have a deluded view of conservatives. For example, they say things like, conservatives have the blood of slain students on their hands because they oppose “common sense” gun laws, as if they don’t care if kids die. Of course that’s delusional nonsense.
I think it’s related to the over-prioritization of a moral foundation over the others, but it’s not that only progressives have this problem. For example, in my own experience some conservatives have a skewed view of progressives’ motivations, particularly when it comes to loyalty, another of Haidt’s identified moral foundations. People who value loyalty above all else will think some pretty ****ed up things about people who prioritize other moral foundations above that.
I know you think that you have some conservative views. But I also think you’ve been wrong enough about the motivations of people on the right that it seems apparent to me, something prevents you from imagining their true motivations. I’m a lot more confident that if there were undeniable proof that the president was a kid****er, Trumpers’ reaction would be far less ****ty than you imagine.
But it’s a retarded scenario to put forth in the first place. Whoever asked that question, work out your own morality before you go around testing others’.
Polls to me are right up there with guessing how many jelly beans are in the jar, someone will eventually guess correctly, but what does it mean?
Others will say they are lucky and still others wish that they were them or they are in awe of their abstract thinking abilities. Meanwhile the "enlightened" person says to them self, "wow, I don't believe I pulled that one out of my butt..."
I got it. It's hard keeping up with the Riddler without wanting to counteract with some humor. It's either that or WTF? Like Dead Duck.Ya know, sometimes I think humor should be so obvious that purple isn't necessary.

Epstein “injured” in jail, early days, but apparently not seriously.
I vote he pulled a stunt trying to get released to a psych ward of his lawyer’s choice.
I think he has too much ego and too little conscience to off himself before the end of trial and appeals, and if his jail “friend” (with his history) had attacked him he'd be dead.

He shouldbe protected, kept alive, if only for the slightest chance for more info.

Strange. Most of Clintons' friends commit suicide by shooting themselves in the back of their head.
Posing a question, if he's legally labeled insane, regardless if he is or not, doesn't that muddy testimony he might give against other pillars of leadership?
