Is this something?
Scott Adams talked about this on his Periscope video today. He made this point: This might be something important ("something that could dent the universe," as he put it) because people aren't citing policy reasons for their #WalkAway from the Democrat Party.
He believes (as I do) that logic is a slave of the emotions, and what we call "logical analysis" is really just the part of the brain that thinks it's in charge making up a post-facto justification to explain what has already been decided by the emotional, primal part of the brain.
Anyway, he thinks it's important that rather than citing policy reasons or logical stuff like that as the reason for the #WalkAway from the Democrat party, people are citing the feeling that the Democrat party is manipulating them with fake, ginned-up fear.
That kind of thing runs deeper than logic, the feeling that someone is conning you.
So who knows, maybe this is something.
Juan Williams is now claiming that it is "being reported" that ICE is running "black sites."
Suspend him.
This bit of #FakeNews comes, it seems, courtesy of the Socialist/Democrat loony-tunes candidate that just won against Crowley:
Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed on Wednesday that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is running "black sites" at the border. During an interview on CNN's "Newsroom" with Poppy Harlow, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez explained the difficultly that reporters and members of Congress have gaining access to some child-holding facilities, creating a "secretive nature" that justified the term. She said the agency has extrajudicial structure "baked in," which allows them to get away with running these sites.
She offered no evidence for this, because she's making it up and also insane.
Juan Williams likewise offered no evidence for this, or that there were "investigations" into it, apart from this radical leftist rabble-rouser's own personal "investigation."
Fox News previously suspended Andrew Napolitano (I won't call him "judge;" he's a commentator) for making the unsubstantiated claim that British spy agencies eavesdropped on Trump.
A claim, I think, likely to be resolved in his favor at some point.
Juan Williams must be suspended for his own #FakeNews.
Suspend this stupid, ignorant f__k.
Rep. Ron DeSantis to Rosenstein: You're more conflicted in the Mueller Probe than Sessions was/is. Why haven't you recused yourself?

92% of Republicans think the media just flat-out makes up #FakeNews; but 72% of people overall think that, including 79% of Indepdents.
Axios highlights the "Republicans" part of the finding but ignores that fact that Independents think the media deliberately makes up #FakeNews at almost the same percentage as Republicans.
Here's an example of why America believes the media makes up news: This NBC story claiming that Trump began a "pilot program" for separating children from illegal immigrant parents in... 2016.
I sort of think someone else was president in 2016. But "Trump continued program started by Obama" doesn't get as many Outrage Clicks. So they just lied.
72% of the public think that social media companies censor views they don't like. Because they do.
George Will is a ridiculous puffed-up cuck.
BTW: A friend made up a new insult. Instead of "Acela Corridor Republicans," he's calling them the "Incela Corridor Media" or just "Incela Republicans."
Happy Friday Night!

Americans unite; “Leave the Democrat Party before it’s too LATE”
No, it is the Communist Party USA.
I don't care if they come over to our side, just let them stay at home on election day.
I wonder how many people on this website walked away from the democrat party? I walked away when I was 24 years old. The union had its hooks in me for 3 years by then. It made me start paying attention to what was going on. I watched the union take my money and give it to democrat politicians I disagreed with. The democrat party made it easy over the years with all the corruption and lies. Today you have to be a socialist moron to be a democrat in good standing.
Years ago there was this Meme going around that went something like;
“The difference between Conservatives and Progressives?
Conservatives, Know that Soylent Green is People”
I would update it.
Leaders of the Progressive/Democrat party KNOW that Soylent Green is people and they don’t care and they don’t want their followers to know the truth.
At the end of the day, when you break it down;
Conservatives will not be lied to.
Leftists are willing to be lied to.
Apparently, this “Walk Away” movement has found some former Progressives that don’t like being lied to.
Democrat party= Global Warming cult.
Actually, walking away from progressives?
“is not very hard at all,
what’s hard is making it feel hard”
Then they discover that it’s an;

Ace of Spades is always spot on, and funny as hell. I check it often.
Perhaps I need to read more of what these #walkaways are saying about themselves, but I just don’t see it. The anti-Christian abortionists, and marriage perverts never lied about anything. The open-borders anti-Americans never lied about anything. The tax and spend wealth transfer leftist Democrat party has always been perfectly clear on their positions. If these people are “leaving” the Democrat party, it can only be to join with the Rino’s to take productive people’s money.
What am I missing here?

Very interesting observation.
I’ve said early in 0bama’s administration that he was in fact the most transparent regarding his intentions to “transform” etc..
The left that supported him never paid enough attention to what 0bama was really talking about and the MSM would never explain it to them.
I think it’s these lies that this #walkaway movement is talking about. In addition, it’s the lies and the narrative the MSM/Dems have been painting of Conservatives that is being exposed to them.
The left runs a massive propaganda machine and has been for many many years and we can all agree on that. These Walk Away folks are finally realizing this.
I, for one, support their awakening and welcome them to their new journey for truth. Make no mistake, it is a long journey in which they have only taken the first step.
But it’s a step in the right direction. A step that, for many, has no return.
