5. They certainly make Cheney and W seem like credible, honest brokers.

6. Yes

8. I just shared that with my special Facebook Friends!

So great!

2. What is needed is a weekly score card so it is possible compare one week from the next.

Possible categories:

Total fabrications of facts. AKA alternate facts
Insults
Tantrums
Betrayals

You might be able to come up with a aggregated number.

13. I've been hoping someone would do that.

I'm having a hard time keeping up. It's exhausting.

I thought it was the POTUS who aged, not We the People.

If we only had a real POTUS, and not a Pretender or a WannaBe Bannon.

3. Shameless pandering to Drumpf's base

Not to mention fucking obvious!

4. The famous Bowling Greeen Massacre was presented with Alternative Facts

from an Alternative Universe inside the Bubble of Viewers of Fox News who clearly remember seeing this play out on alternative TV sets across the Alternative Nation. It was truly horrifying for those living in their Alternative Reality.

7. Fire a reporter for tweeting about a bust he didn't see.

Don't hold Propaganda Minister Con Way accountable about her lie regarding a fake massacre and her next lie that she misspoke.

They know the meaning of the word hypocrisy.

They are just partisan hack manipulative liars.

9. I gather Ms Conway

wasn't closely questioned about the Bowling Green Massacre. I would certainly love to learn more about it.

[dmr]

14. No, it flew right over Chris Mathews' head.

He let her run roughshod. You know how he holds some people's (Democrats) feet over the fire?

I think he's afraid of Kellyanne, and he shouldn't have let her spew her bullshit.

I gotta admit, she's one scary hombre, or is it hombra?

My belief is she intended the massacre to be a part of our history. Something for Trump's backwash voters to cite in their discussions amongst one another, then use as a "fact" with anyone who is unfamiliar with the truth.

I suspect she's got plenty of whoppers stored up.

[brush]

21. You're right. She slipped that massacre bit right under Tweety's nose and he didn't even blink...

just moved on. He completely missed it.

Should've said: "Wait, what? What massacre?", then busted her right on air.

Hell, even Chuck Toad didn't let her "alternate fact" spew get by him.

Tweety's losing his edge, maybe time for MSNBC to pull the plug. That would have never gotten by Joy Reid. And she's working without a contract as they hire FOX retread Van Susteren and the glamor girl racist Kelly, another ex-faux noise operative.

But MSNBC won't pull Matthew's as he's perfectly willing to shift to the right just as they're doing. That way they can put Conway on to do trump propaganda.

Every wonder why Conway has never been on against Joy? I'm betting Conway knows to stay a mile away from sitting down with Joy Reid.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

26. I haven't seen the video of the exchange,

and what I seriously wonder is if Mathews' was evening listening to what she said, or was just thinking about the next thing he'd say/question he'd ask.

I occasionally notice that behavior in an interview, which is a large part of why you don't get the kind of follow-up questions that you should hear. The interviewer has a script, and will follow it no matter what.

[dmr]

27. You're right, & that irritates me to no end

Sometimes the guest says something so profound that it's unbelievably stupid for the host not question, or at least ask the guest to elaborate on their statement.

Chris Mathews and Chris Hayes just don't know when to shut up. Hayes is smart, but he doesn't know everything, and has a problem of talking more than his guest. He needs to listen more and talk less.

I agree with you, the host doesn't seem to be listening, and/or is focused on their next question or, (and I hate when) they say, "moving on" ... arghhh ...


Imagine what news they could capture if they were good at their job.

The best is Joy Reid. She knows when NOT to talk, and let the guest make news, or she let's them dig themselves into a deeper hole. Just like she did with the Trump surrogate complaining, and then predicting Taco trucks on every corner! Oh, that was fun!

10. the Amateur Hour continues

I was wondering what the hell she was talking about when she mentioned Bowling Green

[pansypoo53219]

11. kelly-anne goerbbels.

[brush]

22. A cut-rate one. She tries, what with the "alternate fact" thing and now the "Bowling Green Massacre"

She thinks she good but even Chuck Toad busted her with the alternate fact gambit.

She did get the massacre thing by Chris Matthews but he's not so sharp anymore.

Twitter followers pick up on it though and howled, which is why everyone who wasn't watching knows.

[dmr]

12. I tweeted this to that numbskull Trump

Hahaha!

15. This is confusing to me

As a gay man, I just can't seem to find any good reason to believe that immigrating large numbers of people
who are fanatical followers of a religion that has a principal tenet of punishment and even death for us
based on what we -are-, not even as a response to activities is a sane goal. This seems insane to me.

The most puzzling aspect of this issue is that many of the same people who advocate for equal rights for us
are in favor of increasing the population of those who want to kill us.

I really don't understand this, it's not as if there's any shortage of "christians" already in America
who would, if they thought they could get away with it, happily shove us back in the closet, lock the door
and pump in carbon monoxide. I see their hateful posts all the time in discussion boards.

What am I missing here?

[SunSeeker]

19. What makes you think the refugees are "fanatical followers of a religion..."?

They are just trying to get away from certain death in their home country. If they were fanatics bent on murdering gay people, they would not pass the rigorous 24-month screening process. Only 1% pass it. That is why no refugees we have accepted from any of the 7 countires in Trumps ban have ever killed an American in a terrorist act. They just want a safe place to raise their kids and live in peace.

[SunSeeker]

30. Seriously? You think muslim refugees that pass our vetting want to kill LGBT?

By the way, many conservative Christians, including those in the US House of Representatives, like citing passages in the Bible saying homosexuals are "worthy of death." http://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/bible-verse-homosexuals-heard-house-gop-prior-vote
Using religion to rationalize homophobia is hardly limited to muslims.

23. Are you serious with this, or just naive, having fallen for trump talking points, or maybe you...

Last edited Mon Feb 6, 2017, 09:20 PM - Edit history (1)

have an agenda?

FYI: Refugees from Syria and other countries from that region face an 18-24 month screening period by multiple investigative agencies, stiff background checks and interviews before they are allowed to come here.

We keep getting this crap about "letting terrorists in to the country" when the ones who are spreading those talking points, which are then regurgitated by people like you, know full well that immigrants coming from that region go through stiff screening.

Don't be so naive, or stop pretending to be.

[stonecutter357]

24. seems legit !

[Crash2Parties]

16. It's like they aren't even trying anymore.

[Mc Mike]

17. And the hits just keep coming from the dRumpf admin.

[Initech]

18. Meanwhile an actual massacre like Sandy Hook is not treated as a terror attack.

When it absolutely 100% fucking was. Instead it's treated as a false flag meant to take guns away by fucking dipshit lunatics like Alex Jones and Prison Planet. Sandy Hook was absolutely a terror attack, and the fallout from those fucking assholes made it worse. Child murder is no joke.

[Skittles]

20. EarlG, can you imagine if you were still doing the Top 10 Conservative Idiots

it would take you a week just to whittle it down to 10
