    It honestly doesn't seem like the vast majority of the human population can handle the truth. They simply don't look for it. Their objective is to reinforce their existing worldview with comfortable thoughts, completely independently of the truth.

    It's a very strongly built in bias that completely screws over us as a species as far as making progress towards actual knowledge. As far as I can tell it has absolutely nothing to do with being civilized. That's just the difference between ignorance and willful ignorance.

    It's not believable. It's such phony outrage. It's so utterly transparent.

    Just all about the virtue signalling.


    First world countries are vastly superior to third world countries and countries full of corruption, poverty, and misery.

    Why is this so shocking and offensive?

    Right? Anybody who thinks any single place in US is remotely comparable to the third world are crazy.

    A hillbilly still likely has access to plumbing, warm and cool air. Comfortable clothing / furniture, and food to eat. As well as some basic luxuries.

    That alone makes them have a vastly higher standard of living than many parts of the world.

    You'd be absurdly wrong then. It's absurdly hard to immigrate to the U.S.. One of my high school friend's both her parents were Doctors and you'd swear they were what most of the right imagine lazy do-nothing types who's only goal in life is to pump out babies for more welfare. In fact it's thanks to immigration, and the AMA, there's specific programs that help a lot of the assholes crying about they turk ur jerbs have doctor's in the area by saying hey you can move to America if you work in X for Y.

    In the case of Refugees/Asylum checkers the interview/background check process is extensive and any contradictions in the multiple interviews can mean you're fucked.

    For example the amount of terrorist acts commited by people who went through the refugee program is like what 3? And all were stopped before attacks. Since 9/11. Can't remember exactly but in terms of success rate it's about as perfect as humans can get.

    Worth the infraction.
    It sure does feel good to insult folks you don't like and think are stupid, just like Trump does.

    I'd say that statement applies to a great many things given your post history.

    Fulfilling his role and spewing his unnecessary comments in private? Would sure help, but i think he is too childish for that; but we can hope.

    His roll? 1/4 the US likes him spewing stupid rude shit, another 1/4th wishes he would stop breathing, and the rest just dont give a damn. Besides, considering the folks the US has had in the oval office over the years, trump is just the latest bit of shit to stain the white house.

    Never let a good Trump bashing moment go to waste man, everything he does needs to be mocked, folks might forget what he is...

    Can you really not see that Trump is extraordinary? (not in a good sense) - I never like Bush' politics, and i think he was a bad president, but never did i think he was actively sabotaging the presidency itself. This is important, because after 4 or 8 years, there will be another person on that chair and we can have a different direction. Trump is actively destroying the institution of the presidency. You closest ally don't want to have the most powerful man to visit them.

    If you don't think having a manchild sitting on the most powerful military/nuclear capacity is just fake outrage. yeah... i don't know what to say...

    that’s nice dear.

    Anyway next time in a new moon when he vaguely alludes to something I agree with He will be blessed with my 3rd credit I’ve ever given him.

    This is more or less what OP is talking about for those who, like me, were lost.
    Wish they'd let us dump him into a volcano but we'd probably get in trouble for improperly disposing of toxic waste.

    Honestly, i don't care, he makes Republicans look bad for supporting him and pisses liberals off to the point that minor shit like this is somehow important making them look foolish. Thats a win win for me since i dislike both parties with a passion. Hes absolutely a crass asshole, who never should have been president, but he is and that in itself is hilarious. As to defiling the presidency? Were you alive during the whole Bill Clinton thing? The dude was using his position to have sexy time with women IN THE OVAL OFFICE, you want to tell me that what Trumps doing is somehow going to lessen my image of presidents hahaha nice.

    I will indulge the Whataboutism - Clinton. Yeah - Clinton did stupid stuff and i think he should have been removed from office. And yeah, probably this was the first step to enabling someone like Trump becoming president. Does that excuse anything? Does it make Trump cranking it up to 100 anyhow better? I'm not a big fan of american hegemony, but i prefer it over the alternatives - personally i just think defiling the presidency of the US is dangerous for the whole world.

    But nice work equating consensual, though improper, sexual relations with Trump, a racist sexual predator.
