MSNBC: Trump's bold vision: Make America Hide Under the Bed Again
MSNBC ^ | July 22, 2016 | Steve Benen

Posted on 07/22/2016 6:01:35 AM PDT by Zakeet

Fear is a powerful instinct. Fear is so potent, and the innate drive to protect one’s self from harm is so overpowering, that it can override almost every other instinct, including those related to intellect and judgment.

Which is why Donald Trump desperately wants to frighten you.

The obvious problem with the Republican presidential nominee’s convention speech last night is that it was less a speech and more a series of strung together scary falsehoods.

[Snip]

Trump wants you to be afraid of criminals. And immigrants. And Democrats. And refugees. And government regulations. And quite possibly the monster that could be hiding under your bed.

In fact, as far as the Republican presidential candidate is concerned, the United States is already a dystopian hellscape, where the sun no longer shines, where few can experience joy, and where all hope is lost.

But don’t worry, Donald J. Trump can make America great again.

Just don’t ask him how.

Better than a mattress.

Oakland Effect: The hard facts of stray bullets

The researchers found that stray bullet shootings contribute to a neighborhood's sense of insecurity. Children, they write, "are taught to avoid crowds and people talking loudly, run when they see weapons, drop to the ground when they hear gunfire while outside, and take cover away from windows if indoors -- in the bathtub, if possible"
These are #Dark times

The media idiots are all full of themselves, having been fed ego food for 8 years by Big Ears.

I don’t like Big Ears. He ruined the economy as far as I am concerned. Their kisser-uppers should go hide their heads.

She is evil.

In the movie, a bucket of water was her nemesis, but theologically we need the use of the blood that this cat Jesus gave as a sacrifice.

"We’ve been so busy being the world’s nanny", because politicians found it much easier to sell our surplus weaponry and state secrets to other $hit hole countries and claim it's "spring" there without getting caught for doing so.

Easy money, laundered thru global political networks.

The liberal media is actually full of hate. They hate anyone who doesn’t think the same. Everyday they promote hate not the news.

I agree. Way too many negative Trump articles. It’s as if there is a purpose to it. FR is suppose to be all in now and motivating us to win in Nov, not be Debbie Downer’s.

They tend to be attention whores and don’t show much principle other than that.
