If it makes you feel better most of your tax dollars pay for either threatening to bomb, actively bombing, or debt for bombs we already dropped on brown people.

That probably didn’t make you feel better but at least this lady isn’t really involved with that.

The amount of time I spend online is entirely irrelevant to the question at hand. Your focus on that particular point, which I never disputed, is pretty odd. You can find the information I’m referring to in a 30 second Google search which pretty much everyone does on a regular basis for things they care about. The problem is that a good chunk of people don’t care enough to find out whether or not they’re being lied to by the media they consume. I don’t think it’s necessary to excuse that level of ignorance but you seem insistent on doing so. That’s not being understanding it’s justifying idiocy for no good reason.

You don’t need to be terminally online to know that Donald Trump is a piece of shit. You’re trying really hard to justify intentional stupidity. Empathy is good but you don’t need to employ it to the point that you force a reason to let these people off the hook. In fact, I would argue that nothing will change until we all accept our role in educating ourselves. It’s not anyone else’s job to do that.

Many of them through no fault of their own weren’t reached by the message.

That’s where we disagree. Media bubbles exist but the internet makes it so easy to find opposing viewpoints that failing to do so should absolutely be considered a personal failure. They’d rather believe a comforting lie than confront the truth and that is how shitty people live their lives.

Why don’t you save everyone some time and say it yourself?

While “the media” certainly has its issues, it’s more of a convenient scapegoat than the root of the problem. Enough of us have access to all the information we could ever need to know this man was bad news and we decided it wasn’t worth the effort. You can blame the media for not making it easier but ultimately we didn’t do our jobs and become educated voters. That is our collective fault and no one else’s.

What freedoms are infringed by joke telling?

You said what I said using more words. Call it different if you must be contrarian but the conclusion is the same so why bother.

Don’t try and rationalize what Trump’s plan is. Whatever you think he’s doing, it’s not that. Your brain and his operate in fundamentally different ways. Logic can’t help you understand the intrinsically illogical.

Putin could not possibly have any dirt on Trump that is worse than the publicly available knowledge we have of his personality and activities. If he’s working with Russia it’s because he wants to, not because he’s being coerced.

Obviously it’s Fox

Never seen someone give up on the last sentence they were writing like that

What is looking like more of an idiot than he already does going to accomplish? He’s the most idiotic politician in living memory, by far, and there are some absolutely colossal morons on that list. The people who haven’t figured that out are never going to. They will be praising him until the day they die.

Good for him. I’m staying here. Not because I have to. In fact, there are several relatively easy paths available to me if I wanted to leave. I’m staying because I refuse to let these fascist fucks have my country. Leaving is the easy personal solution but it doesn’t help anybody else.

I hope you don’t genuinely expect that to happen

If it’s Putin’s fault then no one in the US can solve the problem. If that isn’t the case then there’s no plausible way to avoid accepting that this is our problem to solve internally. Some people aren’t ready to face that reality so they choose the comfortable oversimplification instead.

Hmm, I think there’s a name for that. Something about being fashionable I believe.

You can lock other file formats too though

PDF is a pointless file format that should not exist. Come at me.
