So fun to see the right wing at war with itself

over Donald Trump and Megan Kelly & FAUX News. People that were big fans and defenders of Kelly & FAUX are now denounced them because they love Trump more.

The whole Trump thing has really become the cult of personality rather than any rational discourse based on issues or even ideology. Unfortunately this seems to be the state of out politics of late. Many republican friends I have are fairly moderate and even liberal on most issues. But they don't like President Obama. They don't like Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. They don't like most of the people and groups that make up the Democratic coalition (minorities, gays, women, etc.) so they are republicans instead.

I know it has to be ugly there at times, but I want nothing of it.

Thankfully, due to Trump's Trumpiness, I think the GOP inner-strife has pretty much dominated the national headlines. Our squabbles are more of a local headache.

Fux was about facilitating hate and rage for ratings. Hang out with dogs and catch fleas - they all deserve each other. Fugg 'em!

Poor Scumbaugh doesn't know which way to turn. I'm lovin' it!!
