I want to believe some of them post nonsense just to get a reaction. For entertainment. It seems impossible so many can suspend reality when it's staring them in the face. But I acknowledge most are too far down the rabbit hole to reach.Well, that's the problem. This is a true group pathology, and it's about far more than politics for them.
Imagine that you're literally convinced that you're saving your country against evil, against Satan. Literally. There is no communicating with someone like that, any more than you can communicate with a wild-eyed jihadi on the streets of Damascus. They are True Believers.
"a secret service official “familiar with the matter” told CNN Ornato denies telling Hutchinson the former president “grabbed the wheel or an agent on his detail”.When Tony Ornato, the deputy chief of staff, told Hutchinson what happened the Secret Service agent Trump lunged at, Robert Engle, was standing right there.
Hutchinson was asked if either of those people subsequently changed the account of what happened. She said they did not.
Well when you don't care about the subject it makes it so much easier for folks to poke fun at it.You folks are very good at posting silly pictures, and GIF's, and cartoons. Very good at snark and gratuitous insults and deflection. Not so good at addressing the subject.
Well, anecdotally, I can tell you that I have several Trumpster clients, and I can say for sure that when I look in their eyes, these people are full of absolute rage and absolute fear. So this "Satan" stuff, this "commie" stuff, is very real to a pretty significant percentage of them. And then I'll hear the latest conspiracy theory they've bought. Holy crap.I want to believe some of them post nonsense just to get a reaction. For entertainment. It seems impossible so many can suspend reality when it's staring them in the face.

The pathetic thing is that she's actually smart enough to know she's being played
Berg seems like a loyal minion.I have to agree that she's nothing like Berg.
No question the folks I saw interviewed on tape who were at the 1/6 rally turned riot are true believers. They appeared to be clinically delusional.Well, anecdotally, I can tell you that I have several Trumpster clients, and I can say for sure that when I look in their eyes, these people are full of absolute rage and absolute fear.

Hey, dumbshit, I'll ask you the same question I asked the other one.Well, anecdotally, I can tell you that I have several Trumpster clients, and I can say for sure that when I look in their eyes, these people are full of absolute rage and absolute fear.

Imagine being so whacked out of your fucking mind that you actually believe a president who encouraged a protest really encouraged an insurrection against the most powerful military in the world led by a bunch of old fat dudes armed with flags and crutches, imagine being so fucked in the head that you believe said old unarmed fat dudes were prepared to fight Apache choppers and trained militants.…hahahahaImagine that you're literally convinced that you're saving your country against evil, against Satan. Literally. There is no communicating with someone like that, any more than you can communicate with a wild-eyed jihadi on the streets of Damascus. They are True Believers.
I don't know, nor do I know why it matters.Hey, dumbshit, I'll ask you the same question I asked the other one.
What do Gerald Ford and Arlen Specter have in common?
Why did Nixon choose Ford to be his VP?
Okay. At least you're honest. That's good.I don't know, nor do I know why it matters.
You're welcome.
Okay. At least you're honest. That's good.
The answer, goes back to Joe McCarthy.
The answer, is also right here:
Yes, they were.Were they both on the Warren Commission?
Well we could use us a "El Hefe For Life".....Though I would prefer Rand Paul since he's younger.Tell me again why you don't care that Trump tried to overthrow the government?
Yes, the number of lies she spewed is overwhelming..........and growing.After hearing yesterday's testimony, how does one even begin to process all of what was said? It was teased as being a potential bombshell. It was closer to carpet bombing.
There were some things we knew about that Hutchinson provided more detail and color for. Like the timing of his tweet accusing Pence of not having the courage to help with the coup coming minutes after Trump was told the mob was chanting "hang Mike Pence." It was a mind boggling disregard for Pence's safety.
There were some things we didn't know, like this.
Trump knew there were weapons in the crowd, wanted to get rid of metal detectors before siccing crowd on Congress
Trump not only knew about weapons in the crowd on Jan. 6, but actually seemed to embrace that fact, Hutchinson testified. She focused on Trump’s rage upon learning that the immediate crowd area around the stage at the White House Ellipse — the part that was surrounded by metal detectors — was not full because people in the crowd had weapons and could not go through the magnetometers with them.
Backstage at the rally, Hutchinson said she overheard Trump say something to the effect of, “I don’t effing care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me. Take the effing mags away. Let my people in, they can march to the Capitol from here. Let the people in, take the effing mags away.”
The Craziest Moments Of Cassidy Hutchinson’s Account Of Jan. 6
Her testimony laid out a shocking pattern of both knowledge by Trump and others that the Jan. 6 rallies would grow violent, and a willingness to let that happen and even encourage it.talkingpointsmemo.com
I thought I had become immune to being shocked by the Orange Menace. That still shocked me. I was reminded of all the times he boasted about the size of his rally crowds. And of course who can forget Don forcing Sean Spicer to go to the WH podium and lie about the size of the inaugural crowd? Clearly, this was much worse. It would be enough to keep Faux having an apoplectic fit for years. All the other far right wing outlets would similarly be in meltdown mode. The story would infinitely reverberate around the right wing sound chamber. With Trump, it's just one of many outrages. Too many to count. Too many to elicit the appropriate amount of indignity or attention. He has once again flooded the zone with atrocity just as he did for his entire presidency.
