While liberals don't like to accept it, America is still a deeply conservative country, so much so that Donald Trump is now president.

Now that they're going to be at the mercy of the left, Trumpsters are worried about decency? Too late for that, assholes.
They're so desperate to make it disappear, they're spinning faster than an actual hurricane.
Can we please stop over-estimating Trump?
The "Intellectual Dark Web" is distinctly libertarian, distinctly atheistic (Shapiro asides), and firmly embedded in the notion that Judeo Christian civilization is the pinnacle of human achievement.

This demographic of impotent, easily-deceived nincompoops blindly accepts as truth everything and anything that Trump farts out of his overly articulated yapper, including his pledge to build an embassy in Jerusalem for $150,000.
Whatever John McCain, or anyone else for that matter, may have done throughout their life does not merit brain cancer, and anyone celebrating his imminent passing is psychopathically cruel -- a trait those on the far right and far left apparently share.
The moral of this story: if you're a white man, do not claim you know more about discrimination than any black person - especially a woman as powerful as Maxine Waters. You might as well argue with a tank.

If the dual motives of WMD and the global war on terrorism are in play, and there's no sign they're not, Trump might be prepared to attack Democrats with the same vigor the Bush administration and the GOP used against American patriots like Max Cleland in 2002.

A recent report in the Wall St. Journal indicates that Trump is so ill equipped to perform the basic functions of his presidency that his lawyers spent four hours walking him through two questions in preparation for a potential questioning by Robert Mueller.

Appearing on ABC with George Stephanopoulos, Rudy Giuliani's stock as a hotshot lawyer took what can only be described as a spectacular nose dive. And Trevor Noah's response was perfect.

Taibbi has now twice retweeted the work of crack pot conspiracy theorist Caitlin Johnstone -- a "journalist" who believes 9/11 was an "inside job", and that the CIA is funding The Washington Post and directing it to print false stories about the Seth Rich murder.
