Touch grass, man. You are quite literally going out of your way for the sole purpose to get triggered. That makes zero sense for any normally functioning human being.

Not really. I actually enjoy the show, its hosts and guests (possible exception of Mika). I watched it way before Trump came on the scene.

I hear you, and both understand and respect your perspective. Still, I think that there is very little useful to be gained by consuming that kind of stuff. I understand the idea of wanting to know what the “enemy” is saying, but I still am highly skeptical that the negatives of swimming around in that kind of nastiness and muck and subjecting one’s mental health and well-being to it, outweigh the positives of knowing what the “enemy” is saying.

And ramrouser isn’t trolling anyone here, because he isn’t intelligent, creative, or clever enough to successfully troll anyone here. This is a man so profoundly stupid that he believed that Adolf Hitler was a left-winger, and that American Eagle sold $300 million worth of blue jeans in a single day, among many other stupid things he believes. Getting responses from us does not constitute successful trolling. It may mean that we – and I include myself more than anyone else – are idiots for not ignoring him, but speaking for myself, I have a personality flaw that causes me to find some twisted enjoyment in telling stupid people that they are stupid.

I started listening to conservative radio to get an understanding of what had changed my dad and his brothers. It became clear a few years ago that I do not share the same reality with them. It was sad to see such a dramatic shift in their personalities and hear their vile thoughts on everyone they had been programmed to believe are their enemies.

I only listened until the first commercial or until I thought “this is absolute horse shit” so 5 minutes at a time max. It wasn’t healthy. I don’t know how people spend hours of their day every day in that fever swamp. It was enlightening though.

I think of it as McDonald’s for the mind now. It’s poisoning the people consuming it, but it’s also deliberately crafted to create an addiction (those fries are SO good). It’s always selling something whether it’s the commercials or the personalities.

Something I found fascinating was the dislike of trump leading up to the primaries. Once it was clear he was running away with it everyone was back onboard the trump train. Seemingly in an instant the arguments against trump they themselves had just been using were lies and comepletely wrong because it’s what the left was saying about trump.

The right wing media machine is amazing at what it does. I think we all understand that that machine is going to become horrifically more efficient at what it’s doing with the rise of AI.

I watch Morning Joe to get an early read on what the Dems’ message and/or attack for the day will be. It’s highly coordinated with the AP/NYT/Washington Post/NPR leading the way.

Interesting. So have you ever stopped to wonder why Joe (who used to be a staunch Republican) made the switch?

I love going to brick and mortar bookstores. Just wandering around I see books I have never heard of but immediately want to read. Then I buy the digital copies. Yeah, I feel like the scum of the Earth every time I do that. But you are right about the average age in bookstores being well below my age. If I see someone even approaching my age in a bookstore, then they are usually wearing a tag with their name on it. Lately I have found myself studiously avoiding looking at all the young women in bookstores. I figure the absolutely last thing any of these young women want in their lives is some old fart like me ogling them.

Depends on your financial status and proclivity to be generous with it. Young folks today have no shame in their game.

'Embarrassing for them': MAGA called out after Newsom 'exposes their humiliating behavior'

A progressive analyst fired back at President Donald Trump's supporters, who are calling on a prominent Democratic lawmaker to shape up his online behavior. For the last several days, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been trolling Trump online by imitating his syntax, diction, and capitalization...

From Fox News host: “…and you think that we don’t get the joke, oh no, we get the joke, it’s just not funny.”

I’m sorry if folks can’t see the humor in all of this. I’ve always heard “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”. Trump and his team should be flattered. They should be head over heels that Trump is being imitated. It should give him and his side a sense of pride and accomplishment to have a leading Dem and Governor of the great State of California doing exactly this.

Trump and his childish, sophomoric, bullshit tweet game, and his mean meme game is sadly not funny - and imitating same can also seem unfunny… I get that.

But let’s be perfectly clear, this “imitation” is NOT flattering… it’s mimicry, not imitation. It’s parody and NOT placating. And it IS INDEED FUNNY AS HELL! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Ummm, I used to listen to conservative radio a bit while I was driving to get a sense of what the crazies were currently raging about. Right around the debate last year I was reading a maga message board. The day before the debate there were a lot of social media links to “stories” about immigrants in a small OH town eating peoples pets. It was a circle jerk of maga social media all saying the same thing. I bet a friend that trump would somehow bring up immigrants eating pets. For some reason I didn’t expect it to be as absurdly ridiculous as it was, but how could something like that be anything but absurd.

This small experience gave me insight into just how fast maga gets on board with conspiracies. It only took a couple days to be used by trump.

I saw a MFer on Twitter who commented on a tweet about Madonna, specifically how bad/old she looks. He said it was the lack of adrenochrome. I had to look that up. Apparently there is a QAnon conspiracy theory which revolves around Epstein using his island to harvest adrenochrome from young children and that's why Madonna looks old. (Nothing to do with her being 70 and her MULTIPLE plastic surgeries)

There is NO reasoning with that kind of crazy.
 
Gavin probably should have been Joe Biden VP pick instead of Harris…I don’t know if Trump would have beat Newsom..It definitely would have been closer…

He "went native" living in Georgetown among the urban liberals.
His relationship and eventual marriage to Mika B. (both divorced their spouses).
Probably following orders and directives of his bosses at MSNBC.

Remember he and Mika flirted with Trump in 2015 where Trump was a frequent guest on their show. They broke from him before the election but after the election they tried to get Trump to let them be his media advisors. They famously appeared at Mar a Lago on New Years Eve to try and take a meeting with Trump but were turned away. Trump subsequently tweeted about it noting Mika's bloody face from plastic surgery.

The rest is history.

Any chance you "went native" after years of getting paychecks signed by Ray Smith?

Newsom would have been a MUCH stronger pick. Live by the DEI die by the DEI.

Of course the butts of the joke don’t think it’s funny (especially when they never had a sense of humor to begin with).
