Again a very likpatous story
Things I learned from Sean Hannity yesterday:

1) Who cares if Trump colluded with Russia? Collusion isn't actually a crime! You can't just magically turn collusion into a crime, you need to pass a statute to do that, but they haven't, so collusion isn't a crime and Trump can't be indicted.

2) Trump's approval rating is higher now than it's ever been and he's done a lot of great things but the liberal media won't tell you about all the great things he did. But people are getting sick of the liberal media and that's why Trump's approval ratings are at 50% now, even liberal CNN has Trump gaining 8 points in approval ratings.

3) Hannity saw a twitter thing comparing him saying it would be a disaster for Obama to talk to North Korea, and then him saying it's great for Trump to talk to North Korea, and implied that this was hypocrisy. Why, nothing could be farther from the truth! It's not hypocritical at all because Obama was bad, and Trump is good. Since Obama was so weak, it would have been bad for him to talk to North Korea, but because Trump is strong and manly and good at negotiating, that means it's a great idea for him to talk to North Korea. Not hypocrisy in the least!

I want to know what how they picture negotiations that this makes sense. I'm guessing they think it's all zero sum and you get what you want by giving the other party/ies as little as possible? Or is it that foreigners can smell fear?

lol, I love how easily his primary talking points can be batted away.

1.) Yes it is, moron.

2.) No it isn't, he's been at 50% on Rassmussen before.

3.) It's hypocrisy.

Comedian rants for a week about negative reaction to racial joke

quote:

A Catholic school won’t accept his donations, his son’s babysitter quit, and the town supervisor is publicly apologizing for letting him perform at the town hall. Nationally famous stand-up comedian Owen Benjamin responded with a week-long series of rants to his 100,000-plus social media followers and says he’s moving out of Saranac Lake.

If I has to take a stab at it, based on the picture, it’s “the Mexicans are coming to rape your (white) wives and put their undergarments in trees as a show of superiority.”

Remember that the Republican Party is basically an open white nationalist organization now and is recycling Nazi propaganda at this point. Minorities raping white women in an organized fashion, “demographic replacement,” “cultural Marxism,” etc. It’s all the poo poo they used to just imply but without the veneer of plausible deniability the Southern Strategy gave them.

Interesting. It’s significant to note that this article asserts that the rapes are happening primarily to the immigrants and refugees. The talking point as deployed by Republicans is clearly implying they’re raping primarily (white) American citizens.

Also “coyote” is a term I’ve never heard before, I legit thought you meant the animals were raping people. :stare:

I was going to say this is nothing new, but I confused my RWM assholes. I don't think I've ever heard Hannity really talk about Jimmy Kimmel before, but Rush talks about him all the time.

of all the methods to cross the border, border hopping is among the least frequent, because it is so dangerous. sexual assault, death through neglect or exposure, etc. are common

which is another reason the wall is dumb. only people who are very desperate hop the border. anyone with a chance just gets a visa and stays on after it expires

I feel like they might be misinterpreting the survey because these numbers don't make sense to me.

Anyone know the source for the data?

Edit:


https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_us_040218/

Trump versus Cable News

The Monmouth University Poll also finds that Pres. Trump is trusted less as source of information than three cable news outlets – except if you ask Republicans. Nearly half the American public (48%) trusts CNN more than Trump, compared with one-third (35%) who trust Trump more than CNN and another 13% who trust both equally as a source of information. The results are similar when Trump is pitted against the left-leaning MSNBC – 45% trust MSNBC more, 32% trust Trump more, and 16% trust both equally. The right-leaning Fox News also bests the president as a trusted information source – 30% trust Fox more and 20% trust Trump more, although a plurality of 37% trust both equally.

Yeah, that graphic is all kinds of confusing.

Its still saying that CNN and MSNBC are more trusted than Fox News and Trump by a wide margin. Just not really in the way they're saying. The odd part of that is that it means the plurality of the people trust Trump and Fox News equally but that could mean anything from "they both tell the truth" to "they're both liars." And based on the CNN and MSNBC numbers I'd assume the latter.

So seriously, what would you answer, given the following question and options:

I’m going to read you some names of information sources. For each pair of names I read, please tell me which one you trust more as a source of information, or whether you trust both sources about equally. First, Donald Trump and Fox News:

Trust Trump more
Trust Fox News more
Trust both equally
(Secret option, not provided as an option but accepted as an answer): Don't know.

Yeah, that's one of those poorly structured polls because two people can answer "Trust Both Equally" and mean completely different things. "Trust Trump/Fox News/Both" only adds up to 87% leaving 13% behind. By comparison the CNN one adds up to 96% and the MSNBC one 93%. So again I think that points to a lot of people just being "gently caress both Fox and Trump" and splitting their votes between "Trust Both Equally" and "Don't Know" because they couldn't find the right answer.
