True, but you didn't say "I don't know him". You implied that "because I don't him, he can't be important, and what he thinks doesn't matter".

Well, I like to think that is true. The world does revolve around me you know.

He said "I seriously don't care what he thinks, I had to google him to see who he was". Translation: he's a nobody, one shouldn't care what he says.

True of most celebrities regardless of the need to google them. Because some person can act or direct somehow that makes their opinion valuable.
 
BOO! This is WAY too rational a Trump tweet. About as presidential as we can possibly get from him. I want lashing out, wacky Trump, not this.



Guess I'll have to wait until he gets back at it tomorrow. Until then I'll reread this gem:



Now that's the guy I voted for!

Jones isn’t as liberal as some people may think. He might bring the Democrats more to the center, and that’s a good thing

Really? The Democracts have been centrists for at least 100 years. Once you're in the center you can't get any closer to the center.

I'm not up on 100 years ago, but I know that in the 1980 Republican primary debate, Reagan and Bush were battling for who could praise illegal immigrants the most.

Is the right to choose (legal since 1973) left-wing? Is legalized gay marriage (approved by the majority of US citizens) left-wing? Is a continuation of the progressive-rate income tax (established in 1862) to today's higher incomes left-wing? Is having an EPA left-wing?

I'd say the right-wing took a sharp right turn, right about the time that Fox news came into existence, around 1996.
 
Stupid media for a stupid society. The top part of the article below is the teaser, the bottom part is the story that comes up when you click on the teaser. The teaser says there was one reason, but the story clearly states two reasons.

Huh? I don't understand what your post has to do with mine.

I was agreeing with you. I was citing examples of policies representative of democrats, which have mainstream centrist support. I also cited an issue (immigration) for which republicans previously took a centrist stance, but now they are far-right.

Do you not welcome agreement?
