I think all this “Drumpf SUPER DUPER screwed up this time” nonsense is starting to numb people. What was it last week, Trump was drowning kids in oil pipelines or something?

Not quite true though. Plenty on the left have jobs and money, via big tech, big finance, or big Hollywood. Most of them prefer to just outsource the protests to someone else and to just provide the bankroll. Let’s not underestimate our enemy.

I don’t mean that statement as admiration, any more than saying that we could learn about tank tactics by studying Rommel is admiration.

“After a few minutes of watching it, you have to switch channels.

Constant negativity isn’t good for one’s health or one’s sanity.

Just don’t watch it and you’ll be a happier person.”

But the delicious irony here is that the “people,” and I use that term loosely, in the anti-Trump media, are destroying themselves with that “constant negativity!” I expect to see one of them actually explode in front of the cameras with an apoplectic fit of rage. Let’s see, how about Rachel Madcow for starters? Or maybe Donnie Deutsch?

Indeed. CW2’s Fort Sumter will be a Dem-run city, and you won’t have to come 3,000 miles and pound the pavement to find out that it’s started.

This nice Aussie man didn’t spend time in Los Angeles. Good on him.

"Everyday Americans are mostly just getting on with things, as normal, non-obsessive people tend to do. The apparent civil war we keep hearing about just isn’t happening."

Its a little misleading.
I liken it to parents (no, Lefties, you're adults that haven't outgrown their teenage years) with kids. The parents don't always think the kids are paying attention, until the day the kids demonstrate they have been taking it all in and *surpise*, they know exactly what the score is.
Or, think of it as Santa and he's "making a list, and checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or nice". Except Santa's coal is like Hitler and the pineapple from that movie "Little Nicky".

Several US friends were “Never Trumpers” – conservatives against Trump – in 2016. Now, partly out of sheer revulsion at media bias, they’re committing to a Trump vote in 2020.

It was weird from the beginning; now it's simply grotesque. I tune most of it out because it's really stupid to keep dipping your fingers in bile. The media never really did come to grips with the fact that Trump's election in '16 was a referendum on them, and so will likely not understand '18 and '20 is likely to result in a few strokes. Hatred will burn you out.

Forget Russian collusion. All Trump needs to secure re-election in 2020 is more baby balloons and British baby babble in Trafalgar Square. If investigators look into the $60,000 raised to fund that balloon, they might even find a few donations from Donald Trump himself.

Those scammers turned a tidy 60 large for a party favor. It's nice work if you can get it. It wouldn't be the sort of thing you'd expect to turn up at a Midwest Trump rally, though, at least not twice.

I had a customer the other day try to engage me in a Trump discussion (he was anti-Trump, he seemed the type who was anti-anybody actually) I just stared at him silently until he ended his rant. I never engage in political discussion in the workplace with customers. (some exceptions apply)

I did, however get a lot of friendly at-a-boys for my LOCK HER UP! sign in my yard during the last presidential election! :)

Everytime there is this crazy media hysteria over nothing, i just tune out and watch movies or old sitcoms when I have the TV on, until it blows over. It’s way beyond tiresome and the lefties in the media look like loons.

One side has over 7 TRILLION rounds of ammo,

the other side doesn’t know which bathroom to use.
