We learned not to underestimate the shocking level of ignorance and gullibility of the right. We knew it was bad. But who knew it could sink this low?

Yes. But those "intellectuals in the right places" are using the ignorance, latent prejudices, paranoias, and easy gullibility of the masses to advance their own personal agenda. They are not doing it because they think it will benefit you. You are just being used.

Yes. I used to look at countries like Venezuela, Nigeria, Iran, etc... and feel so privileged that I was living in a relatively enlightened and developed country which had "progressed" beyond such crass and myopic rhetoric and policies. This country became the beacon of reason, knowledge, science, and rationality when it was formed. It was going to be a beacon that would light the way for the rest of the world. Boy was I wrong. Now I am looking at the leadership of some of these countries with envy.

No, we know. We have a very large, ignorant, and easily manipulated underclass in this country whose primitive fears, superstitions, shocking level of ignorance, and misunderstandings are being manipulated by a handful of very powerful forces to advance their own agenda on their backs. And all they can say is "thank you sir may I have another?"
 
Quite right.
Rahm to Democrats: Get ready for a lot of losing
Ed Morrissey by February 9, 2017
Rahm to Democrats: Get ready for a lot of losing - Hot Air Hot Air

“Winning is everything,” Rahm Emanuel told a Stanford University audience in discussing the current political situation — and his frustration with fellow Democrats. “If you don’t win, you can’t make public policy.” And, Emanuel tells Democrats, they should plan to be in the wilderness for a while — perhaps quite a while. “It ain’t gonna happen in 2018. Take a chill pill”:


Aaron Blake at the Washington Post wonders whether Democrats can take Emanuel’s advice:
President Trump has promised so much winning that people will get tired of it.
But for Democrats, the question is whether they can stomach the amount of losing they’re in store for.
Despite the party base digging in for fights on Cabinet nominations and Neil Gorsuch’s Supreme Court confirmation, they’ve come up empty. And it’s looking more and more like the fight just may not be in Senate Democrats — or at least, not to the extent the base is looking for. …
Part of it is undoubtedly that reality set in. Democrats have a weak hand in Washington — even weaker than the one Republicans had when they were in the minority and after Democrats partly dismantled the filibuster in 2013. And as I’ve written, an unprecedented Supreme Court filibuster against a clearly qualified and likable nominee would just give Republicans a good excuse to do away with the rest of the filibuster. This would only further weaken Democrats’ ability to stop Trump, stripping them of their last real lever of power.
And even worse for Democrats is that the path back to congressional majorities isn’t apparent, no matter what they do today. Despite Trump’s historically bad image for a new president, the 2018 electoral map is a daunting one for Democrats, with very few good opportunities to win the three Senate seats they need and plenty of tough seats to defend. The GOP also retains its big advantage on the House map, which would require a huge Democratic wave to sweep Republicans out of power.
Right now, Democrats and the Left are on the express train to exhaustion, both politically and physically. There are only so many rallies one can attend to protest the result of an election, so many times one can turn the knob to 11 on outrage, before it just becomes noise. Emanuel warns Democrats about that, too:
“You’ve got to pick which ones you’re going to fight about; not every pitch has to be swung at,” Emanuel said. “We don’t have the power to swing at everything. So you have to pick what is essential.”
Right now they’re swinging and missing on everything, in part because they didn’t pick their spots. Had Senate Democrats not settled on near-total obstruction, they might have moved a third Republican by focusing on DeVos, rather than make the whole Cabinet a test of wills. They lost an election and now their credibility is dissipating into a kind of self-perpetuating hysteria.
Republicans should understand that this won’t last forever. In fact, Emanuel offers Democrats some keen advice that Republicans should heed:
Wedge. Wherever there is a disagreement among Republicans, I’m for one of those disagreements. [Laughter] I’m all for it. Okay? President’s for Russia? I’m with John McCain and Lindsay Graham, I’m for Russia. Why? Wedge. Wedges — schisms have to be wedges. Wedges have to be divides, divisions.
Republicans don’t have to march in total lockstep over the next couple of years — that’s in part what doomed Democrats, marching in lockstep behind what turned out to be an unpopular hard-progressive agenda. But Republicans and the Right do have to keep disagreements and different approaches from becoming schismatic. At some point, Democrats might actually take Rahm Emanuel’s advice … when they’ve stopped shrieking long enough to hear it.

This is like the angry bull at the rodeo chasing the red cape all over the field being told that he is being used for others' entertainment, and getting all indignant on us and telling us that we have no idea what we are talking about. To him, it's all about destroying that evil red cape, er... I mean... them evil libruls! Amiright?

Trump Voters Stand to Suffer Most From Obamacare Repeal and a Trade War - NBC News
Click to expand...

The repeal and replace of the failed Obamacare hasn't even been written yet, introduced as legislation yet, passed from legislation into law yet, and hasn't been signed by the president yet. Isn't the reporter kinda counting his chickens before they hatch?

Granted, the first run at it, aka Ryan's bill, didn't gain enough support to be viable. Fair enough. It wasn't the right thing at the right time to be so.

But it doesn't seem like Trump nor his administration, nor even GOP in congress, have given up on it yet. Let's just wait and see what they come up with and what consensus they can achieve with it.I

It's a marathon and not a sprint. Lets see how it ends up before passing judgement and spreading FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) - especially not for political advantage.

Wait, is this some kind of trick? That's just too easy:

"The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese to make US manufacturing non-competitive".
_Trump, to loud cheers of large masses

"“God’s word is true. I’ve come to understand that. All that stuff I was taught about evolution, embryology, Big Bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of hell. It’s lies to try to keep me and all the folks who are taught that from understanding that they need a savior. There’s a lot of scientific data that I found out as a scientist that actually show that this is really a young Earth. I believe that the Earth is about 9,000 years old. I believe that it was created in six days as we know them. That’s what the Bible says. And what I’ve come to learn is that it’s the manufacturer’s handbook, is what I call it. It teaches us how to run our lives individually. How to run our families, how to run our churches. But it teaches us how to run all our public policy and everything in society. And that’s the reason, as your congressman, I hold the Holy Bible as being the major directions to me of how I vote in Washington, D.C., and I’ll continue to do that.”
-Paul Broun (R-Georgia), to loud cheers, "Amen"s, and "Hallelujah"s on the campaign trail. They elected him to the House of representatives, where he served on the House Science Committee!

"Couric: And when it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this -- to stay informed and to understand the world?

Palin: I've read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media --
Couric: But what ones specifically? I'm curious.

Palin: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years.

Couric: Can you name any of them?

Palin: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news. "


" "Why should I go and do something like that? But the Lord says, 'Be submissive wives; you are to be submissive to your husbands." -Rep. Michele Bachmann, recalling in a 2006 speech at a Megachurch in Minneapolis that pursuing tax law wasn't her choice, but she did so at the urging of her husband because she was certain God was speaking through him

Alexandria is probably as close as I'm ever going to get to Bagdad though I do like Louisiana.

I knew an E-6 that I think was from Bagdad. His last name was Richard. Of course he pronounced it "Reshard". It drove him slap ****ing crazy when anyone referred to him as Sergeant Richard instead of Reshard. That being the case everyone made it a point to pronounce his name wrong just to spin him up. Which it did. Is everyone in Bagdad like that?

No and it never will be. It will go on for the next 4, or 8 years and the results will be the same as they are right now.

Where did you get repeal and replace? Trump said he would repeal it the first day in office. Any federal government involvement in healthcare is unconstutional, right? What ever happened to that? He found out his voters would be TOO hurt too fast. It will take a little time to turn up the temperature on the frog in the frying pan. If you do it too fast, he might jump out.
