A religion is just a business that sells a moral code. Under that definition, the left and right are little more than 2 rival religions peddling their moral code to the masses, each one denigrating those outside of the faith as sinners. People don't turn on Fox news or CNN to get news, but to get their daily sermon from the priests of their faith on what to believe and who to shun.

I suppose there are advantages from never going from campaign mode to president mode.

He's kept no promises. He can't deliver.

Does anything matter anymore? Trump is just bringing postmodernism to politics.

Part of me does relish, however, knowing that the evangelical religious right of the 2000s was truly phony all along. Just another exploited GOP social issues-based populace. I had my doubts before, but seeing them cling to Trump like flies to shit... it’s quite special.

What we’re seeing here reminds me of a Zakaria article I read. He was surprised when, upon emigrating here, people would complain about the government. In most other countries, he contends, governments are often corrupt and inefficient. Here it actually typically works as intended. I’m not sure that’s as much as the case anymore.

so according to some rando (D) Representative, people shitposting in support of Barnie Sanders and Jill Stein is as bad as the attack on Pearl Harbor. That’s a good campaign slogan

even Chris Hayes was aghast at the accusation:

Quote
He reckons the indictments that were handed up Friday against 13 Russians are “absolute proof” that we were attacked. “Imagine if FDR had denied that the Japanese attacked us at Pearl Harbor and didn’t react,” the solon said. “That’s the equivalent.”

Chris Hayes, the MSNBC host to whom Mr. Nadler made this declaration, reacted with newspapermanly incredulity.

“It’s a bit of a different thing,” he offered.

“No it’s not,” Mr. Nadler promptly snapped.

“They didn’t kill anyone,” Mr. Hayes protested.


:rofl:

Completely ridiculous. Their meddling was/is a serious issue, but to compare it to 9/11 or Pearl Harbor is insane.

I do agree with John Brennan though when he said that if the Russians actually changed votes or corrupted the process in a significant way, it would basically be an act of war.
