Saw the picture and thought, oh no, the BB is back, phew, maybe he's gone for good.
After the bantering he gave us he should stay away in shame!

For example, this tautology ignores the fact that the Cold War was not won by one president — certainly not by Ronald Reagan, a figure who has been undeservedly elevated to sainthood in American political culture — but because of a continuity in foreign policy across both Democratic and Republican administrations.


Quite true. The 'cold war' was not won by anyone in particular, but it was 'finished' by one man in particular:

"Mister Gorbachev, Tear down this wall!" is a line from a speech made by US President Ronald Reagan in West Berlin on June 12, 1987, calling for the leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, to open up the barrier which had divided West and East Berlin since 1961.

It was Ronald Reagan who made the call to end the 'cold war' and restore the united Germany we see today, but he was not alone. The entire western hemisphere stood with him, and he was smart enough to recognize the 'opportune moment'.

"[A] figure who has been undeservedly elevated to sainthood"? I wouldn't say that exactly. He is revered, but then many are revered without being 'saints'. Truth is, if there was a movement within the church to elevate him to sainthood, there would be many compelling reasons to do so.

Most of the people who have a thought know that Fox news is a propaganda and fear network owned by a non-American.

Can that fact live with the rise in anti-immigration and refusal to accept truths because they never come form Fox?


Writing about Oscar Wilde, David Friedman observed that a celebrity is someone who is famous for being famous. This logic applies to the Republican Party and how it has presented itself in regard to national security. For example, this tautology ignores the fact that the Cold War was not won by one president — certainly not by Ronald Reagan, a figure who has been undeservedly elevated to sainthood in American political culture — but because of a continuity in foreign policy across both Democratic and Republican administrations.

The Republicans’ claim that theirs is the party of national security and that they are better than Democrats at “keeping America safe” is gutted by the legacy of 9/11 and George W. Bush’s imperial misadventures in the Middle East, which taken together constitute one of the greatest foreign policy failures in the history of the country.

Trump voters and other American conservatives have been subjected to a several decades-long disinformation and propaganda campaign, led by Fox News and the broader right-wing news-entertainment media. This has created an alternate reality that exists separate and apart from the empirical, fact-based world. As shown by recent public opinion surveys, Donald Trump supporters hold many false and bizarre beliefs. As a recent essay by Salon’s Bob Cesca summarized Public Policy Polling research conducted Dec. 6 and 7, here’s what Trump voters said they think about a series of top-shelf issues:


40 percent of Trump voters insist that he won the national popular vote.
60 percent of Trump voters think that Hillary Clinton received millions of illegal votes.
73 percent of Trump voters believe that George Soros is paying anti-Trump protesters.
29 percent of Trump voters don’t think California votes should be allowed to count in the national popular vote.
67 percent of Trump voters think the unemployment rate went up under President Barack Obama. Only 20 percent accurately believe it went down.
39 percent of Trump voters think the stock market went down under Obama. And 19 percent are unsure.
14 percent of Trump voters think Hillary Clinton is connected to a child sex ring run out of a Washington pizzeria. Another 32 percent aren’t sure one way or another. Only 54 percent are certain that Pizzagate is a myth.
Conservatism is a type of political religion and cult; Trump is now the leader of that cult.

Will the right wing ever listen to truth and facts?

I doubt that very much...

You're just f---ing nuts! You are a classical result (I refuse to use the word victim because of your willing participation) of traditional Marxist programming which says if you tell a lie often enough and repeat it constantly the simple minded will believe it. Have you never noticed that Democrats (Marxist) all repeat the same talking points almost word for word? You're a programmed non-thinking lost soul.
