    The problem is people believe it.

    The problem today is that people are too willing to believe whatever bullshit is placed in front of them.....especially if it supports their own personal narrative. Not enough folks out there willing to dig for the facts.....and that’s perfectly fine with both the Republicans and the Democrats. People in general are a bunch of sheep.....

    America is facing an epistemic crisis - Vox

    Ironic that you cite Vox (via apple news). It really proves your point (about bullshit...)

    If Mueller proves his case, I'd want Trump impeached and removed from office.

    How does that fit the narrative?

    My only point is that people believe what they want to believe....or what is most convenient for them to believe. It’s not restricted to political parties or individual ideologies. Leave it to you to make it a partisan thing. But then, you are so hung up in your pathological hatred for Hillary (along with a striking need to always be “right”) you’ve lost all objectivity. Kind of a one trick pony for the most part....

    I didn't make it a partisan thing. I responded to the Vox article that YOU linked.

    I wrote that it does matter.

    I think you're infatuated with making everything about me. I don't have that kind of ego.

    So you didn’t really read the article because it’s a “left wing” source.....got it.

    I read the article. Thanks for posting the link.

    I found it ironic that it exactly proved your point about believing whatever bullshit is placed in front of them (by Vox or Fox, it doesn't matter).

    Vox isn't making things partisan, right?

    That's from your link.

    As I made exceedingly clear right up front, it doesn’t matter which side puts out whichever fairy tale, people of all stripes, colors, genders and ideologies are only too happy to believe whatever lies support their personal narrative or story. It’s far easier than taking personal responsibility or holding those in power accountable. Vox may be (or not) partisan, but the meat of the article was inarguably factual. Get over it. Had Fox posted a similar article I would have agreed with the premise (while doing my best to ignore any right wing bias). It’s not like the interminable links you provide to back up your beliefs and assertions aren’t partisan themselves.......but then, by your reckoning, your links are the absolute truth......I personally believe the truth almost always lies somewhere in the middle......

    It seems we're in violent agreement.

    All I did was point out that Vox is claiming to be the authority on which narrative is right.

    It supports your argument.

    My links are not what YOU normally read. I read all the CNN and Vox stories I can. Nothing wrong with exposing you (and anyone else who cares) to a less biased view (toward what CNN and Vox paint).

    I guess that would depend on one’s definition of “less biased view”, eh.....? And you’d be very surprised at what I read.....where we differ is what we choose to believe despite exposure to the same “information”.......

    My belief isn't as complicated as you might think. It boils down to this:

    "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

    I see the claims but I don't see the evidence - not much evidence at all. Just wishful thinking.

    CNN saying "banana" all day.

    Is this narcissism or just authoritarianism?



    Imagine being a Fox News host and never having got a Trump interview. How left out you'd feel.

    You're developing so many verbal tics that pretty soon no normal person will be able to understand you.

    Spy magazine from 1992 produced medical records that Trump had a 'speed' problem dating back to the eary 1980s.

    A former NBC employee talked about Trump's habit of snorting Adderall (ON SET.

    This explains so much!

    I have smocking covfefe evidence that he's perfectly stable. He cannot, however, seem to find Pleasure on a map. Good news, he doesn't and can't read a map so it's a moot point. Whoops, I shouldn't use big words like moot just in case Trump tries to read this.
