Again can't make this up.

(5,324 posts)It was about these people lost in a maze of parallel universes, where superficially everything seemed normal, but there were fundamental aspects of reality that were totally different.
I was thinking that if I had the stomach to watch Fox News I might get a realistic taste of how those people would have felt.

(5,611 posts)repeat the same talking points (apparently given to them by the White House) about how the whole Russia thing is just a conspiracy (now Soros is involved!) AND that Russia isn't that bad and that Trump is just a 12-dimensional chess player who is working with them for all sorts of important reasons. I can't even imagine the damage this has done to our country. I MEAN WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK. Surreal.
They must be getting their stories from Alex Jones now. So many of them are just brushing this off like it means nothing.

(16,858 posts)First of all, if the Dems were really behind this, does any thinking person really think they would have held on to this bombshell for a freaking year without using the information??
Second, this reminds me of the Dateline exposes where they set up stings for online pedophiles and catch them on camera. "Oh I didn't intend to have sex with this kid...we didn't have sex, you set up this sting...there's no crime". Give me a fucking break. They got caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

Right Wingers love to talk about Soros like he is some mastermind to the Democratic Party or progressive movement. I know who Soros is and understand that he supports a number of progressive causes, but to think that there is a "mastermind" to the crazy, cat herding known as progressive politics is insane.

(58,724 posts)Washington, D.C.: it can be a nasty place during the week. So when Congress is out of session, the movers and shakers get together and have a good time, most recently, in the Hamptons.
That was the case over the 4th of July weekend, when Lally Weymouth, former editor of the Washington Post (the paper her parents, Phillip and Katherine Graham, once owned), hosted her annual star-studded annual party in the Hamptons.
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were in attendance, rubbing elbows with public foes like Senator Chuck Schumer and George Soros. Steven Spielberg, currently putting the finishing touches on a film about the Posts decision to publish the Pentagon Papers, was also in attendance.

Sorry - it was the Hamptons over July 4. The current Sun Valley vacation is with other ultra-rich folks (like Bill Gates).

(11,736 posts)I think they see politics as sport. They argue and sling mud, but at the end of the day, they are rich so they party. Then on Monday out come the rubber mallets again.
