Saw "stable genius" trending on twitter. Actually had to go to Trumps twitter account to make sure it was true.
Don't do it. Just don't.
Maybe b/c the moron created 224K new jobs in June.I can’t believe this moron still has supporters!

I'm smack dab in the Midwest flyover country, and we've yet to see any jobs.
Why do you keep defending these guys, DF? I mean, they're clearly not good guys. Yeah, the Clintons were liars. So was every other politician. I voted for Romney vs Obama in '12. You know I'm pretty damn unbiased. But you keep taking it to the extreme...it's hard to hear or understand your points when all you do is bring up the same things over and over. We are demanding better from you!
Yes I know, first blame Bush and now give Obama credit. I never said anything about 4% growth Trump said that. It would be impossible to keep growing at 3% for the next 6 months.The MORON didn't create those new jobs, if it weren't for Obama and his policies we'd be stuck like parts of Europe in stasis. Give credit where credit is due. And where's the 4-6% growth you said Trumpski would do?

I spent some time in Mount Carmel, PA this past winter and there is an aura of morose depression there. It's coal country, coal is bad for OUR earth @Dancing Fire we should not be mining any coal, clean energy is what Trumpski should be pushing, maybe the EPA should have looked more into retraining the miners, maybe there should be HUGE tax breaks for companies who bring jobs to coal country, but not El Presidente, no no, stuck in conservative hell is what we are stuck in.
and @monarch64 I replied to you because I too didn't see much job growth in the wood workers in Maine or the coal miners in PA, so what are these new jobs that Trumpski is taking as started by him? summer jobs at the beach? Walmart? wages are STAGNANT and the rich are getting waaaaay richer, middle class is lost, poor people will probably soon lose any healthcare they could have had under ACA.. America, a crap country, run by pedophiles, elitists, losers, and cheaters, I would love Romney today (I voted for Obama) but I would be just doing my usual wanking about Republicans I've done all my life Romney is a good man, rich, but a good, wholesome man. Under this nationalistic, plutocracy, the rich companies are Americans too! the government I am scared truly I am. We look like bully's and we are. Not MY America.
No need to worry about healthcare. Just move to Ca. where everything is FREE!@Tekate,
Where is the fantastic healthcare plan Trump promised he would be rolling out when he became president?

I wish!Good question! I'll ask you, who's benefitting? I am but then again in the scheme of USA hierarchy I fall into the upper class in my state of Maine and I live on investments. Great for me! but how many people actually have funds and inheritance like I have? not many.
I wish!
White privilege!But do remember I am LILY WHITE, I'm 99.6% Northern European, I belong here.
Studies have shown that people who lack expertise in some area of knowledge often have a cognitive bias that prevents them from realizing that they lack expertise. As psychologist David Dunning puts it in an op-ed for Politico, “The knowledge and intelligence that are required to be good at a task are often the same qualities needed to recognize that one is not good at that task — and if one lacks such knowledge and intelligence, one remains ignorant that one is not good at the task. This includes political judgment.” These people cannot be reached because they mistakenly believe they are the ones who should be reaching others.
@AGBF This is the part that gave me an "Aha" moment: Science has shown that the conservative brain has an exaggerated fear response when faced with stimuli that may be perceived as threatening. A 2008 study in the journal Science found that conservatives have a stronger physiological reaction to startling noises and graphic images compared to liberals. A brain-imaging study published in Current Biology revealed that those who lean right politically tend to have a larger amygdala — a structure that is electrically active during states of fear and anxiety. And a 2014 fMRI study found that it is possible to predict whether someone is a liberal or conservative simply by looking at their brain activity while they view threatening or disgusting images, such as mutilated bodies. Specifically, the brains of self-identified conservatives generated more activity overall in response to the disturbing images.
These brain responses are automatic and not influenced by logic or reason. As long as Trump continues to portray Muslims and Hispanic immigrants as imminent threats, many conservative brains will involuntarily light up like light bulbs being controlled by a switch. Fear keeps his followers energized and focused on safety. And when you think you’ve found your protector, you become less concerned with offensive and divisive remarks.

White privilege!. Shame, shame,shame!
Pretty darn Hitlerian of him right? It explains why there are people who are more vulnerable than others to authoritarians. It also lends truth to my favorite pet peeve about organized religions being fear mongering cults whose members yearn for deus ex machina to save them from anyone who does not look like they do or believe as they do.So what this study is saying is that for these people, following Trump is completely involuntary as long as he’s feeding their fear response. He has hijacked their brains.
I grabbed it off a Facebook group and don't have any info about it. Sorry.Can you tell me where it was taken and when.
