same goes for their attitude toward the deficit or the filibuster or whatever.

whatever tools they use to support their side is fine, and any way you can run down the other side is also fine.
that's the extent of their philosophy.

well, that and the white nationalism....

We are so fortunate that we have honesty, truthfulness, kindness, empathy, and all the things that make life worthwhile, DJT and his allies have none of these.

The difference is with Clinton, Weinstein and Wiener is that they were either impeached, disgraced, fired, face possible prosecution or jailed.

YOUR admitted PED-ator became President . . . with the help of 51% of white women to boot.

THAT'S the difference.

I never comment. Not worth it.

I'm not quite understanding this obsession with Weinstein.

This one guy's page that I go to...hundreds and hundreds of posts within one week. The topics, in order of post frequency, seem to be:

1) Weinstein
2) NFL
3) How god installed Trump
4) Young black guys in hoodies looting somewhere

This guy takes many hours out of his day to post this stuff. He's not a bot either...I know who the guy is. Every 100 posts or so, he will post a video of a black guy doing some good deed, just to "prove" he is not a racist. If it was not so strange, I'd be fascinated.

BTW, there is nothing liberal about what he did, and your FB friend knows that deep down.

I try to keep track of the frequency of these scandals in my head. Many times, I don't research whether the perp is liberal or conservative...but I do know whether the person was a general jerk or not. The large majority of these people end up being people I've never liked in the first place and more likely than not, probably a "conservative". And they do tend to hide their dirty laundry. They latch onto any crumbs they can from our side, and then talk about it so much that it becomes the most heinous thing ever.

The guy is not a facebook friend, but he posts everything as public. And to be honest, as far as him not knowing this deep down, I'm not so sure. He's a nutjob, his friends and brother are nutjobs too. It's so bad that it looks like satire, but it's not.

or cons and they reason I do is they do not have a single fact in their brains about anything we would discuss.

The right is wrong on everything that the left and right disagree on.

I can prove it but it makes no sense to do that for someone who is not capable of learning.

I used to try to debate them. I'm not too bad at presenting facts and debating, but it is literally impossible with these people. eventually, it all devolves into libtard and snowflake comments. I don't post on facebook at all anymore, I just read.

Ya know what I wonder, how close of a relative does a deplorable have that they would object to trump raping them?

3rd cousin?

sister?


Would they even consider it rape if he did it?

potentially for the next 7 years! He's not a movie producer, powerful though that may be, he's the President of the United #%&*#$@ States of America!

And Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and everyone else has come out to criticize Weinstein. (Well besides Linsay Lohan). Yet Republlicans are fine with Trump's behaviour as "locker room talk", or that he's a rookie to Washington. But then they also overlook his nepotism, and his failure to divest in his business as well. If anything the President should be held to a much higher standard.
