    Default My eyes ears and mouth would hemmorahge if I had to lie like this

    Seriously! How much of a sociopath does one need to be to have the audacity to lie like these right wing members of Congress are? Who would want to die on a hill like Donald Trump regardless of how greedily they want to hold onto their jobs.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    I am not convinced that the worst liars are necessarily even members of congress. Although Trump is truly remarkable for the frequency and audacity with which he lies, prevaricates, and deceives.

    Message board adventures, and general life experience disclosed to me that there are an extraordinary quantity of subhumans who will lie relentlessly without conscience or remorse about public figures, about other posters, about anyone they harbor imaginary grievances against.

    I leave it to the priests, the psychologists, the theologians to determine how much damage that kind of unrepentant lying does to one's soul and mental health.

    "You know I hate, detest, and can't bear a lie, not because I am straighter than the rest of us, but simply because it appals me. There is a taint of death, a flavour of mortality in lies - which is exactly what I hate and detest in the world - what I want to forget.”

    ― Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

    Trump attracted a base that in large part reflects the sociopathy he represents.

    Not only that, but far too many of them also claim to be Christians and even quote scripture here! For some reason they get unreasonably enraged when you point out that "bearing false witness" is against one of the commandments. Many modern Xtians though seem to think of them as the "10 suggestions." Guess it's what you have to do when you worship a fellow subhuman who has broken every single one of them, except possibly the "thou shall not kill" commandment. And even that's fuzzy -- would ordering children to be held in detention centers where some of them have died lacking proper medical care be considered "killing" to most of us? We seemed to think so at Nuremberg.

    True., especially a good lot of the Reichwing company around here.

    Professionals in the mental health field are going to have a bonanza of research opportunities once these dark days have passed.

    Op feels exactly as do I. I do not recognize these republicans as the party I was in for 30 years. I do not recognize these people as humans who have been socialized in the same way as I have. They are a new tribe of amoral scoundrels. Wtf happened to them? Have they no shame? Did they not have moms? Wtf?

    I am always struck by how many self-identified Christians are comfortable with willful and deliberate lying on message boards.

    Let's chalk it up to them being phony Christian poseurs. The real, actual Christians I know in real life seem to try to make conscious efforts to cultivate moral character.

    Well you're a bloody mess then.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    There were former Ukraine officials and ambassadors interfering in our election in fall of 2016; expressed
    preferences for Hillary; did Yova tell them to knock it off? "No".

    Why do you care so much what they do?

    You don’t need them to impeach Trump. Do it now

    That's true for the ones I know personally, too. This evening the Reichwing lies will be flying like snowflakes in a blizzard both here and on Fox. I see we already have one of the Whores4Trump with a fresh load in this very thread! lol
