the liberal press when trump hired most of these folks: "omg, those shady incompetent fringe staffers are a disaster, the sooner they're gone, the better."
the liberal press when the same folks leave the white house: "omg, trump is running out of staffers. what a disaster for his administration, how will he cope without them?"


Gotta get the bait clicks with maximum fearmongering.

Im hoping this is an adjustment period where people are getting used to technology, but based on what we see everyday its getting worse. And its making us more divided. Im not sure if there is a simple solution anymore when half the population wants the other half gone. There is a legitimate demand for outrage now.

Which regulations in particular?



Doesnt matter. The point is it gives him political cover. When the recession hits he can shield himself by saying he cut regulations to stimulate and attack greenspan for causing the recession. So hed win in 1992. The way he bungled it, he had no cover. He was fucked.

Wow, ranting against Buzzfeed and HuffPo...

Yeah, those establishments really are the pinnacle of left-wing journalism, lmao. The only thing people need to do with those is ignore and block. Just like Breitbart, Infowars and Fox News on the right wing.

Oh I agree that fearmongering is a problem. The part of the post I thought was just blatantly false was that one half wants the other half gone.

If I was a little unclear I'm sorry, I'm recovering from the flu.

np, i see what you were taking issue with now.
yeah it was hyperbolic, but referring to a very real and visceral division.
