These experiments show that when people’s beliefs are threatened, they often take flight to a land where facts do not matter. In scientific terms, their beliefs become less “falsifiable” because they can no longer be tested scientifically for verification or refutation.

Your delusions are getting worse and worse please seek help.

You guys don't get it. "Can't take a joke" is the same as "no sense of reality". "You're wrong" and if you prove you're right, "I was just kidding!" Relax. Every Trump supporter is not a true believer. Some just casually hang out on the speculative slope.

If or when Trump becomes removed from office, silence will hush across those who claim to support him now. Years later they will say they did not care for the man.

I've been doing some self reflection and obviously something is wrong with me.

I'm having a difficult time recognizing the greatness that is Trump.

I mean it's clear as day his policies are great for America. He's a decent and trustworthy man who PUTS AMERICA FIRST.

Just look at his cabinet. They're all about "DRAINING THE SWAMP".

His entire life has been about bringing people together.

I mean Obama was alright but he's no Trump in terms of intellect or policy.

To him they are black and brown people who can't vote for him and have no real representation in congress or the senate. Trump allows the archaic Jones Act to increase costs of most goods by 20+% including food. They use a euphemism of PR being a commonwealth but lets face it is a colony and a prize from American imperialism in the past.

A perfect example of the Trump/Pence candidate is Moore in Alabama a racist, christian extremist but maybe in the most red state in America will see the light and reject him. It is extremely unlikely but one can dream.

Moore caught in a big league lie about taking money from his own charity, over $1M.

I'd say tribalism will rule the day and the AL voters will overlook or forgive.
He's a republican for crissakes. I hope I'm wrong but I bet I'm not.

kinda far down on his list of reasons why Americans are indifferent to war

At regular intervals, Americans indulge in the fantasy that, if we just install the right person in the White House, all will be well. Ambitious politicians are quick to exploit this expectation. Presidential candidates struggle to differentiate themselves from their competitors, but all of them promise in one way or another to wipe the slate clean and Make America Great Again. Ignoring the historical record of promises broken or unfulfilled, and presidents who turn out not to be deities but flawed human beings, Americans—members of the media above all—pretend to take all this seriously. Campaigns become longer, more expensive, more circus-like, and ever less substantial. One might think that the election of Donald Trump would prompt a downward revision in the exalted expectations of presidents putting things right. Instead, especially in the anti-Trump camp, getting rid of Trump himself (Collusion! Corruption! Obstruction! Impeachment!) has become the overriding imperative, with little attention given to restoring the balance intended by the framers of the Constitution. The irony of Trump perpetuating wars that he once roundly criticized and then handing the conduct of those wars to generals devoid of ideas for ending them almost entirely escapes notice.


Yep, we get sucked in... this is my guy - he has good intentions even if his programs are unworkable.


It's Andrew Bacevich, a historian (not a pol). I'm not aware that he has 'programs'. He mainly points out the
folly of us continuing to ignore that what we're doing isn't achieving the goals we intend even
as it is bankrupting us.

Yep - read his book, The Limits of Power. Here is a synapsis of the book - guess you will get why I am onboard with his thinking:

As American power expanded abroad, liberty grew at home. But the country’s expectations soon exceeded its ability to satisfy them. At that point, Americans faced a choice: “curb their appetites and learn to live within their means, or deploy . . . United States power in hopes of obliging others to accommodate” them. You can guess which one Bacevich thinks Americans went for.


When I said we get sucked in... this is my guy - I am saying, that you can just insert your politician. We are tuned out and don't want to get into policy specifics. "My guy" has the right intentions - even if it is the wrong policy - he will make it right. We see how that turned out with Trump.

Absolute garbage to support anyone that is aligned with Steve Bannon. The only difference between Strange and Moore is that Moore is a lot more openly racist and homophobic. Americans need to do some serious soul searching as to why pieces of human excrement like Trump and Moore are attractive to so many voters.

The Republicans are too craven to put country over party. I think it's up to the Democrats to take control at every level of government. Use every dirty trick in the book to keep a minority of the population from driving the country into the ground.

this is not for the faint the of heart. 3.5 hours. Go!! get woke!!!! step into the light. reach for the answers!!



1(hour):07(minutes) Biddle talks about restricting the money supply to burden congress and the american people. just before that you hear quote from andrew jackson: "8,000,000 (over 2/3) of the stock in the 2nd national bank of america was owned by foreigners"

President Trump has made the American public murderers with his actions eliminating cost sharing reduction (CSR) payments. I feel sorry for you that have loved ones suffering from preexisting conditions or that you have those conditions yourself. This is more of a assault on American people than the horrific acts of a madman in Las Vegas. This is a cold and calculated plan to murder countless citizens and torches should be in the streets. The Republican leadership is as much complicit as the President is because the sit on there hands and not a peep. I guess they believe with prayer everything will be OK.

my only argument for learning, bro. you dont hold a monopoly on how to think. not sure why you are opposed to learning?

but you guys have to ask yourselves why does CNN, NBC, wash post, etc. so desperately want to stop trump who clearly has a nationalists agenda to benefit the middle (working) class citizens of america. you HAVE to ask yourselves why.

then you should ask yourselves why Russia, russia, russia? why the leaks? why are they intent on stopping his nationalist agenda?

we've been put on a global agenda since colonization of this country and since our birth we've been shaped in large part by european bankers to head for a global economy and a global money supply. why would we, americans, want that? how does that benefit every day americans? basically everyone reading this thread?

here's a few questions:

what if trump is not a racist? what if for the next months everyone of you looks for reasons to support trump not being a racists?

you know what really sickens me as an american? as an intellectual? that every 2-4 years the democrats, with little to no effective policy, come around and call everyone and anyone that opposes them, racists? I'm sick of it. The media gets behind them and somehow it sinks in to the collective conscious. It baffles me. beyond enrages me. You should be enraged too. democrats, the so called moralists, are frauds. this entire Harvey weinstein debacle is just another case. far left, rockefellor, bank of america owned, NBC would NOT print it. The story finally gets out to the point where harvery is going down and yet they still defend him. where's Jimmy Kimmel's tears!!!??? I know where , jimmy kimmel is just another fauxraging hypocrit!! 15 years ago on the "man show" he is abusing his power and seduction of fame to make 18 year old girls reach down his pants and fondle is privates. its on video!!! everyone knows about the hollywood casting couch and the music business recording studio chauvinists. Everyone!!!!! and these entertainers always come out in full force as the morality police? How are they the morality police!!?? ben affleck groping a reporter on MTV live. how is he the morality police? How are dems in general? Bill clinton had 3 credible accusers of rape. the clinton's collected over $75Million to their foundation (ie tax shelter) from the middle east where homosexuality is forbidden, even punishable by death!! and women's rights almost non-existent. yet the Clintons keep that money from these countries!!!??? yet have to give up the money from weinstein!!??? why are they not pressured into giving up that money from the middle east as well!! and then keep in mind that most of this money came in while hillary was sec of state negotiating the uranium one deal while bill was in the middle east doing "speech" tours and $500K per hour. these are the moralily police!!!!??

and somehow trump is the (lone) bad guy??? makes so sense folks. you're blinded by something. not sure what. not sure why. learning and having an open mind is completely gone?
like i said, its a full rebuild.

Republicans/Trump/Conservatives only care about the 1%. They don't give a **** about middle class, poor people or even anyone other than their donors. They couldn't even make a
dent on healthcare despite controlling all three branches of government and now they'll gladly let people die for no reason. The false equivalence about Democrats/Liberals need to end immediately. There's no way that Democrats could stoop to this level of cartoon villainy.
