Liberals never tire of displaying how bigoted, intolerant and ignorant they are. US "progressives" are doing a great job proving they're the biggest fascists in the world today.

Conservatives are never far from their trailer-trash roots! Ignorance and stupidity are the hallmarks of modern conservatism!

It's time that people start to get vocal about what this really is: an attempt to manipulate and control. It's about selling people on propaganda. It's about silencing criticism and deflecting accountability.



I see through this bull**** that you're trying to spread everywhere through sycophants like Conway and Spicer, who are paid big money to lie. People are going to catch onto this game and the tide will turn because they are not as stupid as you think - and people ultimately believe that there are facts out there that support an objective truth.

Let's start calling out this trend made famous by Trump, Trump shills, and conservatives at large: it's BULLSH*T. Plain and simple.
Nah -- let them drink their kool-aid.....the votes that won Trump aren't part of their swill drinking brigade..we are good.

Look those people that won the election for Trump were the folks who thought he was going to make a difference. Not sure they were expecting this difference. They aren't stupid-- just down on their luck. Unless Trump and gang can pull a rabbit out of their hats soon...it will be okay.

What proof do you have of conservatives or more importantly Trump supporters doing what you said? That's the rub, you incorrectly identified the wrong group for your false accusations.

Your OP is BULLSH*T

Bull**** lol.

Just yesterday MSM was hysterically reporting the so called FACTS that the Russian investigation was being obstructed, that Comey asked for and was refused funding for said investigation and that the Deputy AG was threatening to resign over the Comey firing.

Then.......oh what a surprise, we learn that none of those things were true and both the acting Director of the FBI and the Deputy AG testified they were false.

Libs are as stupid as we think. They believe anything the liberal MSM reports via their made up anonymous sources.

The rest of us wait for the actual facts to play out, because we can no longer believe anything the MSM reports.

Funny you don't mention all the left's paid internet trolls, paid protesters, fake websites, fake news stories from the mainstream media, fake AGW data, etc.

Remember when the Russians hacked the Vermont power grid? Then it turned out, it was just a lap top, not the power grid. Then it turned out it was just a 10 year old version of malware available on the internet & the Russians weren't even involved? Remember when the shocking Trump dossier? Remember how he was doing golden showers on hookers on a bed that Obama slept on? Then it turned out that was all just a hoax? Remember when Trump's attorney Michael Cohen was secretly meeting with the Russians in Prague? Then it turned out he'd never been to Prague & was in fact in California scouting colleges with his son. Remember those? Remember when Jeff Sessions was having those scandalous secret meetings with the Russians? Turned out he met with the Russian ambassador once. As he had with 30+ other ambassadors. In his congressional office. On the record. With witnesses in the room. Remember that? Remember when Trump purged the climate change website? Then it turned out it was a standard thing all admins do during a transition? Remember when that bastard Trump had the bust of MLK removed from the White House? Never happened either. Remember the bombshell that Trump had photo-shopped his tiny hands to look bigger? Then it turned out that was nonsense.

On and on and on I could go, but you get the drift. If you were half as intelligent as you arrogantly believe you are, you'd have a modicum of self awareness and realize what a tremendous hypocrite you're being in ignoring all the fake news that suits your agenda.

You started posting anti conservative threads years ago. Glad to see your feigned outrage is alive and well.

Mayor Ed Koch once famously said "I'm a liberal with sanity" - which tells us a lot about the his mindset toward the modern liberal (progressive)
