    I love Tlaib's thoughtfulness and compassion when she isn't certain to which degree she loathes or whether or not to behead her peoples enemies. Her restraint too is most remarkable...the slow turn of the knife. And the joy peeking thru the background on her face thru it all, as if it were a pleasure or a labor of love.

    Well you could try to measure it, its just that it would be very very difficult for humans to do so accurately. Because to really do it, you would have to know with a large degree of accuracy what is actually in a person's mind. And trying to do that accurately, with a large group of people is pretty much impossible.

    That has already been done by Trump supporters, and Don continues to lose support while gaining no new voters.

    The left thinks that with their choice of president, everything would be ducky. It's like they don't have a minute of adult experience in life, still think like small children; if daddy mommy would jsut give me my way, I'd be happy. Life is far more complicated than children perceive it to be.

    What do you think of the dairy farmers in California, who are leaving the state or going bankrupt due to the incredibly stupid liberal democrat laws passed there? Capture the farts from your cows to save the environment, or be fined? Brilliant. After someone told the lawmakers cow farts contain methane, the immediate solution was to contain cow farts.... And with the solution in hand at that point, the thinking totally stopped. These are the kind of people that would drill holes in the bottom of a flooding boat so the water could run out. That's the kind of logic we used to see from the Three Stooges; no doubt the current inspiration for the liberal governments now managing to destroy great cities and states.

    Trump is an unconventional president, not a rubber stamp of the past. You would be wise to be grateful for that, and ignore your petty complaints of differences.

    This is true.
    So long as conservatives think we're still in the old path, where each party/ideology changes places every eight years or so, they will continue to sleep, or hope that 'something will turn up', or console themselves with some sort of après moi le déluge thinking -- let my grandchildren suffer so long as I don't have to.

    My request to all liberals here: please, please, please keep working on convincing conservatives that Trump is the last Republican president, and that the Congress and Supreme Court (eventually) will be majority progressive, and then more and more progressive.

    Don't be triumphant about it, mocking, jubilant. Be gentle. "We're coming for you, but you'll like it ... or your children will, because they will become us."

    Just present the inevitable demographic changes, the progressive control of the academy, of the press, of the schools.

    Maybe eventually they'll accept the reality. TS Eliot said that humankind cannot bear very much reality, but maybe they will finally accept this bit of it.

    Many of them are stupid, or there wouldn't be a democratic party today embracing ideas on the fringes of lunacy. Trump knows that you can't teach such people- they have to keep failing until they decide to think for themselves.

    Trump is a fraud.. He lost 100 million dollars a year for 10 years. He was ruined until he was reinvented as a "tycoon" on celebrity apprentice.

    Dangerous how and what harm has his 'stupidity caused so far. The economy is booming, China and their unfair trade practices have been challenged. Our border has gotten the attention it has long needed as has our immigration policy which has so far been an open door. All of our alliances have been served notice to pony up and meet their obligations.

    He did not solicit political assistance from Putin or any other foreign power.

    Those three ladies hate the Israeli government and actively work at cross purpose to it's interests. To say they don't hate ALL Jews is simply misleading because all Jews in Israel live under that government. Israel has the power to level the area in question and yet they do not. Now imagine if that power were reversed?

    Dude there is nothing logical about the left's positions on anything in fact it seems when dealing with leftists that feelings are vastly more important than anything else. It only matters to leftist when it feels right whether it actually is right is immaterial.

    And you are of course wrong. Latest zogby for instance indicates that Trump has actually gained more support among Latino's and African-Americans than he has lost Among Suburban women, and he's doing better among suburban men.

    I don't follow Trump at all. He's stupid and repulsive.

    As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

    Trump is too stupid to be president, and Republicans have been putting people in office since Ronald Reagan who have been rather shallow in terms of intellectual ability, with the possible exception of George Herbert Walker Bush. As dirty as he was, Richard Nixon could at least think and you could not accuse him of being shallow in that regard.

    While this quote is in my footer, I'd like to emphasize it here- and elaborate on it's message:

    " The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence."

    Thus, they never question their own conclusions once made, and when they are wrong- stay wrong, confident that thinking they are right insures they are not wrong...
    It's a twisted kind of thinking, but they think it's working for them.

    I would suspect that anyone who disagrees with your take on things YOU hold you in contempt, and think they are stupid.
    Only those who agree with you can be intelligent, right?
    Major and most common fallacy of the left- everybody's stupid except us, no matter what we do.

    Trump's lies can be proven every day but his cult still believes every word.


    THAT IS JUST STUPID! No rationalization needed.

    I have a very high IQ but don't need it to figure out trump.

    Guess what? The progressive/liberal movement aided by the Trumpian mess in our government supplemented by demographics ensure Democratic victory nationally and in many states next year.

    And as you know- that quote has nothing to do with regarding Trump. Despite lacking your endorsement, he won the election against the most powerful opposition in existence, against the most vicious media attacks and slander in political history, and he did it with 1/3 the money and 1/3 the staff of the opposition- a unprecedented feat considered impossible by the pundits and experts. Stupid?

    Or so far ahead he was lapping the pack, and letting them think they were leading the race- Until the finish line. Loved the look on Hillary's face at the moment of truth, the moaning, whining and crying of all the wise media people who made fools of themselves mocking the candidate that couldn't win. They are still trying to convince themselves they weren't wrong- and you have got to be stupid to do that after the fact.

    When you get your butt kicked like that and you don't learn, you still call the winner stupid.... you obviously need to repeat the class, get another chance to learn. Remedial education.
    Your next class number is 2020. Start studying now. Throw out the old books; give yourself a chance this time.

    And mine is probably higher than yours- Took me a lot of years to recognize how much of a handicap that can be. But when you think you know everything you think has got to be true, then all others opinions are lies, aren't they? That insures that you will never see the entire picture in full focus.

    I used to play in a band that was lead by an excellent female vocalist. By your logic, the 'singers' with Milli Vanilli are better singers because they sold more recordings. This is foolishness.

    Sorry Charlie, try again.
