The thing is -- Trump is a symptom. What happened to scoop out those who helped get him there?

pompous clueless elitist. YOU are the reason for getting trump here.

Thank you for your carefully reasoned response.

Maybe huddle with Greta, tamika, RO and BoscoX -- people on your own level.

Of course you do. That's the point.

Don't think that at all. I DO, however, think that thinking things through gets better results than partisan reactions.

It's a global world. And no amount of denial and circling the wagons is going to change that.

We can work with reality . . . or we can struggle against the consequences.

Tell yourself whatever you need to in order to feel "right."

There's not a long view from a particularly low horse.

Here's the thing.

If you want to have meaningful conversations with me, you'll need data, analysis, facts, fresh perspectives, not zingers, snark, and striving to get the better of posters -- that's what puts you in that group.

I love seeing the world from new ways well-supported. But "nuh-un" and "well what if" and "you're not a policy expert so there I'm right even though I don't know shit about it" isn't going to rise to a discussable level.

Hence the shit show we're mostly reading here.

Leave me out of it. Just click Hide. There you go. No horses at all.

Again your high horse. You throw out your own share of snark and zingers as your mood suits you. We all do. Stop thinking that you're better than everyone else, because you are not. You have never once demonstrated the ability to add your own new viewpoint to anything. You are only capable of parroting back headlines. No original thinking there. I thought 5 years ago what people are just starting to talk about now. So go meditate on that for a while.

Easy enough claim to make, and so impossible to prove.

However, you do have a nice way of posting the same basic bullshit produced by a number of conservative talking heads and columnists.

tamaka, when I first joined 2-3 yrs ago, this guy was one of the very first people to play the obnoxious pompous ass. (I suspect you wouldn't have too much of a problem picking out the 2nd and 3rd).

he was going on about some logical fallacy that apparently I had committed. I didn't even know what I had recently posted, or what part of what I had posted, to which he was referring.

when I said as much, he took great delight in gloating "I know." despite multiple attempts to get him to clarify the communication, there was only a doubling-down.

my first experience with him notwithstanding, when you talk about him being on a "high horse," you are rightfully nailing him.

Instead of indulging your fascination with me, anything to share on the topic?

Otherwise, just hire someone to post "I don't like you" on every thread every few days.

Boring. But about what you're posting now.

* yawn *

Indeed, you, Bozo, tamaka and Greta are peas in a pod. And you demonstrate it continually.

So desperate to try to appear superior.

No one cares. Including me.

and the saddest part us they actually think they are intellectually and morally superior. They are not. At all.

Yes well i knew him 10 years ago and he was no different them. He is only as good as what he can read with no ability to think beyond what he is told to believe at any given moment. I understand he is limited in his abilities to sense, perceive and judge anything outside of the box presented to him. Unfortunately, this is the kind of 'Intellectual ability' our tax dollars are wasting on educating our students. Pathetically limited and sad... and the saddest part us they actually think they are intellectually and morally superior. They are not. At all.
