I wish I had known that last night, I'd have slept better. Thanks for fucking up the start of the weekend for me.Troy wrote:Ok - i'm taking you all out of my imaginary Venn Diagram.

It doesn't matter how many people who had insurance now can't afford it. It doesn't matter how many people lost their jobs because of it. It doesn't matter how insurance plans provided by employers are now going the way of the dodo. It doesn't matter that employers started cutting employees hours so they didn't have to give them health benefits. Benefits they now can't afford because they work fewer hours. It doesn't matter how crippling this shit is to small businesses.GORDON wrote:I honestly have no memory of how I voted. "Worse than Carter" comes to mind. Considering some people have really shitty health insurance compared to 4 years ago, I might be a winner, too, according to some.
What matters is FREE SHIT!!!! Whooooooo!!!! Vote for us!!!!!!
Unless it comes out of Jake Tapper's reporting, I second source CNN, too.Leisher wrote:I'm glad the "real media" is there to be all unbiased...In other news, Nancy Sinatra calls out CNN for making up news.
It was an amazingly consistent speech to go with his campaign pitch. Facts be damned, but it was on message.TheCatt wrote:Based on the inauguration speech, I half expected Donald to turn into Batman and rid Chicago of crime.
I totally agree that the left has no sense of proportion, but with this statement I don't think you do, either. I remember the over reaction on the right in 2008 being just as stupid.GORDON wrote:This is way worse than anything I've ever seen about 2nd Amendment peeps worried about Obama coming to get their guns...

I saw that. I figured the Trump inauguration pic was not taken at the same relative point in time compared to Obama's. That being said, I figured Trump wouldn't get the numbers Obama did either. Both were true. The people lying about attendance (either by implication by photo or out and out lying) is stupid and exhibits low class.GORDON wrote:Did you happen to see the comparison photo yesterday, showing the difference between the attendance of Trump's inauguration versus the attendance for the woman march? It was showing the mall going up to the Washington Monument as about 66% empty, as I recall. The photo was supposed to illustrate that lots more people hate Trump, than not.
Here'a a gigapixel photo of the inauguration showing people packed in all the way to the Monument. People just can't stop lying. (Right click/new tab it, Leisher avoid)

Their new found realization that they have been slacking in their duties is rather maddening. Every time I want to jump to Trump's defense for them nitpicking something like the size of the inaugural crowd, Trump does something equally small and petty and doubles down on it in response.GORDON wrote:Oh, was there another going around showing Obama's inauguration? I wasn't referring to that one, didn't see it. Don't want people to think I am lying.
But on the other hand, it is kind of nice to see the media again nitpicking every little unimportant, non-newsworthy thing that comes out of the White House. It's been too long. I hope they keep it up and remember they aren't just extensions of their respective political parties.

Take the fucking Twitter creds away from him already.Every time I want to jump to Trump's defense for them nitpicking something like the size of the inaugural crowd, Trump does something equally small and petty and doubles down on it in response.
Early Sunday, Trump took to Twitter to lash out at the millions of protesters worldwide who came out for the Women’s March on Washington — before sending a much more conciliatory tweet later in the morning.
“Watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election! Why didn't these people vote? Celebs hurt cause badly,” Trump tweeted at 7:47 a.m.
President Donald Trump and his team are still fuming over evidence of a relatively small crowd for his inauguration
Alternative facts.another senior adviser explaining that the administration is offering “alternative facts.”
Doublethink is the act of simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct, often in distinct social contexts. Doublethink is related to, but differs from, hypocrisy and neutrality. Also related is cognitive dissonance, in which contradictory beliefs cause conflict in one's mind. Doublethink is notable due to a lack of cognitive dissonance — thus the person is completely unaware of any conflict or contradiction.
I wish they would as well. But I don't think they will. There are few in the media concerned with anything other than jerseys.GORDON wrote:And I'm serious about this... I hope the media latches on to his throat and doesn't let go.... but then... when a dem is in the white house.... THEY KEEP IT UP. Christ, what a bunch of worthless sycophants.
