What the hell is wrong with you people?

"Manafort is a good person, he says. So are some Nazis and white supremacists and Al Capone was treated unfairly. Brennan is 'hysterical' and Mueller is part of a crime family and the FBI, CIA, NSA and probably the pentagon are all controlled by Hillary and the Deep State. Putin is a nice guy and an honest man and nobody knew about the Russian hacking until after the election. And we tolerate this. We think he's actually the president, that he's not the obvious howling madman he obviously is.

What the hell is wrong with you people?

He keeps admitting that he's trying to shut down the investigatio, that it's gone on too long and cost too much although we spent 8 years investigating Bill and 6 years investigation Hillary and that quivering mound of unclean flesh wants more investigation of HER. He's spent more on golf than we have on this and he's made hundreds of millions from using his presidency for personal profit. At the height of it's[sic] power, this country has to die because of pernicious and contagious madness?


Shame, shame, shame on you fools."

Fuck trump. Fuck the fools that are too fucking stupid to know that they have screwed themselves along with the rest of us. You are going to breathe the same air as us 'libtards' do, you will drink the same water as well. Oh, remember that hoax climate change? May you all roast in hell.

but about 10 years ago the astrologer who wrote for Vanity Fair cast the horoscope of the United States. It's fascinating to read in retrospect.

A planetary configuration not seen since 1776 is coming our way, heralding chaos, revolution, and rebirth. Let the stars guide you through the coming storm.

A country gets the leaders it deserves, and when we're ready to rise from the ashes of a fallen empire, we will find the leaders to help us do so. It will happen, but not in 2008. We have to go through the Pluto transit first

what became science with metaphor to interpret it, it becomes more interesting to consider. Lutin is a kick-ass astrologer. "Believe nothing, entertain possibilities." I remember reading this 10 years ago and was horrified -- but on some level it prepared me for what we are living through.

predicted the same during the time Bush was in office and said it would take until 2020 for the clearing out to begin...I challenged her on this quite strongly but now wish she was alive so I could say I was wrong and everything she said would come to pass has.

As to concerns on this plane... has Mueller's investigation passed the $92 Million mark...I bet not.

bow before it or pray to it. They look at it as a metaphorical system which tells you which way the wind is blowing and gives you a (timing) sense about when cyclical things will occur and finally be over. Things like the 7-year itch and the midlife crisis all come from astrology.

As to Mueller, I have the feeling that if he were to be shut shut down or not funded that his team would just keep on working...

shit really works!"
I once played a concert for a gathering of physics scientists on Lake Como, and had lunch with my accompanist and the lead physics guy, who was poo-pooing astrology. My accompanist drawled( in his rich Milanese accent): all I know is: if I decant my wine during the wrong part of the lunar cycle, it turns.
As for the Christians who say the Bible is against it: where does "as above, so below" and "on earth as it is in heaven" come from if not astrology?

Back in the day when DU first began, we had a resident political astronomer. She used to draw charts for the US, whatever nations were in the news of the week, the Bush Administration. Name began with an S.. Susan, Sharon... can't really remember . Any old timers around who remember? Used to read her posts and bookmarked her site.

trump is but a symptom of a deep-seated rot characteristic of the Repug party - in my memory since Nixon.

Sort of like taking the bandage off a severely infected wound. But, no surprise here because the patient has been running a bad fever for a long time.

We Democrats are the only antibiotic for this infection.......

that's why trump became acceptable while hillary became the most corrupt politician in history to them

by ignoring their talk radio stations and gods the left has committed the biggest political mistake in history

it's the talk radio that makes the difference. and after the manafort jury hangs we'll find out the mueller prosecutors should have excluded dittoheads

I hosted after church luncheons and most were repeating RNC talkings points. I am not accusing the pastors , it is the group think of the congregations. They might say a food blessing but their minds are on Fox not a bible. This happened over a number of years. It has turned me off to religion in a deep profound way. Some of the mean things they say are horrific. I had business from many churches and the mainline were not so bad, but the independents who don’t answer to a conference can be more political .

i'll bet the pastors hear it too and incorporate it on the weekends for better appeal

fox can't do the groundwork repetition need to sell a lot of these lies. it may break a story and it can put a visual on it but it's like the cartoon cliff notes of talk radio

fox also has direct competition - in most places people have choices a click away. not so with talk radio, which is the only major medium with no significant measurable (20-1) alternative on the other side of the political spectrum.

and talk radio stations can be coordinated by state gop and think tanks on the local level - to the particular range of a station. local fox can't say anything like those stations can, like screaming about kneeling athletes, full on support for trump, global warming denial - the hate and lies - etc - 15 hrs a day

i think mueller prosecutors need to start excluding jurors who regularly listen to rw radio - they clearly live in an alternate reality. in this all it needs for a hung jury is one juror whos a dittohead to ignore the evidence and continue to believe limbaugh that mueller and the deep state are capable of setting manafort up.
