This came across my F acebook feed today. I’m not a republican or a democrat. I’m kind of a libertarian but not really. So when I saw this, I chuckled and it clicked it. What I didn’t realize was how funny that click would be...

My options are... Great, Good, Okay, and Other. I’ve created a few surveys in my day and I can say that without a doubt, THIS IS NOT HOW YOU WRITE A DAMN QUESTION.

It’s the living emobodiment of pre-Late Night Colbert:

“Great president? Or GREATEST president?"

yep, blue dog with libertanian tendancies, (and a healthy dose of Scandinavian, “I don’t believe a f’ing word you are saying” for good measure.)

yes, that is how you write a damn question, when you want to funnel all of your respondents into the answer you desire.

It’s easy to win when you stack the deck in your favour.

The only thing worse than a lying racist adulterer are the people who support lying racist adulterers.

  I’ve been getting these emails for months - why, I have no idea.

What they’re really after is donations.

Ie, money >>>> truth ( shocking I know)

As the stable genius himself said, he loves the poorly educated, and they will eat this up and cling to it.

While I won’t disagree with your statement as a general point (not sure anyone likes lying racist adulterers?), I’ll refrain from making any political statements about the president. This was really just the absurdity of the survey.

The US has a lot more “I don’t believe a f’ing word you are saying” than people give us credit for. Particular the middle of the country and south who have been repeatedly kicked in the teeth for the better part of the country’s existence. People on the coasts generally don’t realize how good they have it - not having to take their orders from Monsanto or eat fast food as a non-optional source of sustenance .

I probably tend to lean the opposite side of libertarian than you, but I’m a little sensitive to anytime someone says we need more government to fix a problem. It usually ends up making people more poor.

Well that’s respectable of you, I suppose.

Lots of old white people seem to support a lying racist adulterer. https://www.businessinsider.com/exit-polls-who-voted-for-trump-clinton-2016-11  

So p lenty (but not the majority) of people do.

If you do NOT support lying racist adulterers, now IS the time to make political statements stating such.

I honestly hope so - (my experience with relatives between the coasts have largely been stereotypical...)

Yeah, I’m just not going there. How people exercise their right to vote is up to them and I’m not one to throw around the r word. There are real rac ists out there who pale in comparison are a much larger problem.

Way too many are living in a r eality distortion field these days. 

This is a clip show, but holy crap...

The 404 message for Trump’s page is even better:

Even though there’s an incredible amount of bullshit on Fox, there’s an incredible amount everywhere else as well. Be careful what you believe. You can’t get the truth without getting exposure to all arguments.

Listen to this montage then go watch Trump’s 4th of July speech.

It’s a good point. Plenty of bloviating on both ends of the spectrum.

FWIW, I don’t get my news from the people in that clip, either. 24 hour infotainment channels fighting for eyeballs and ad dollars has really thrown everything into a complete mess of shouted opinions, light on facts (if not just bold-faced lies).

It could be argued that Trump managed to stay on script because of the threat that his campaign would have to pay for everything if he turned it into a political rally...

I hope he and Clinton both end up going down and becoming complete cultural pariahs in relation to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

It’s a bit of a rathole, but I think if Trump was going to go down in the Epstein scandal, he wouldn’t have run or would have gotten ahead of it. There was a clip from before the election of someone asking him about Epstein and his response was “Clinton’s in trouble there.”

Now, that doesn’t keep the 24H news channels from trying to find something that probably doesn’t really exist for the next 6 months in search of eyeballs.

If Clinton & Trump both hadn’t already proved themselves to be such huge slimeballs, it’d be a whole lot easier to believe that they had no knowledge of , or worse, participation in this...

I’m going to assume you’re talking about the Omar comments. Assuming yes, I would read this WSJ oped before getting too far into it: https://www.wsj.com/articles/can-ilhan-omar-overcome-her-prejudice-11562970265

About 8 years ago, I was at Brown University’s Israel -Palestine Peace Conference as a videographer. Several times over the course of the day, fists nearly flew as otherwise completely reasonable academics went from talking about peace to needing to be physically restrained by their colleagues. It’s a road you simply don’t want to go down. Trump got completely played by his own comments when the media was able to twist the story to be about Omar being the single victim of his initial tweet when she wasn’t named.

I’m being careful here because there’s a tendency to lean too far back one way or the other on this issue . There are so very many agendas at play here and making things Muslims vs Trump is bad for EVERYONE.
