Since when did you Trumpites start believing what those in the msm say?

It's so funny to see a Trumpite believe the msm when they say something the Trumpite likes but it's always "fake news" when they don't like it.


Only Trumpites don't see the massive hypocrisy.

The terrible "balanced budget amendment" DIDN'T PASS but we can not ignore the fact that 233 Representatives in the House voted to steal $2.9 trillion from Social Security's surplus.

That's OUR money and we need to vote them out in November.

Vandals leave mysterious graffiti on Mississauga Wal-Mart

MISSISSAUGA — The spray painted slurs said “Kill all Republicans?”
Was this a message to President Donald Trump’s historic opening of the American Embassy in Jerusalem or just some disrespectful teens wreaking havoc for kicks?
No possiblities are being dismissed.
It wasn’t just the threatening and disturbing graffiti that shook up this normally quiet suburban neighourhood not known for high crime rates.
It was the timing of it. It was also the message of it, the size of it and the victim of it.
“We sure were surprised when we came to work early in the morning and it was right on the front of the store,” said an employee of the Wal-Mart store in the South Common Mall at the corner of Erin Mills Parkway and Burnhamthorpe Road.
The massage spray painted in giant letters said “To end the war, for peace and victory . . . Log is kill all Republicans.”
It also had other symbols spray painted, hashtags and messages on dates that appeared to be in code.
“We apologize for the spray paint on the outside of our store,” wrote Wal-Mart manager Joe Lupusella on a note pasted to the front door. “Unfortunately the store was the victim of vandals. We have notified police.”
Peel Police were all over this and sources say are prepared, if deemed necessary, to share information with federal agencies who would pass along any concerns as a courtesy to American diplomatic authorities.
The message seemed to be American driven and it does not get any more American than Wal-Mart.
“With it being just the morning after the United States Embassy opening in Jerusalem, where there was violence and carnage, it only makes sense to run down every lead,” said a source.
“It’s early yet but it’s not being treated lightly.”
Graffiti and gang messaging experts were also being sourced to help police determine what this was could have been about?
Police were not commenting further later in the day Tuesday. Meanwhile manager Lupusella put trees from the garden section to cover up the messages and immediately contracted a painting team to come in and paint over the offensive message — which happened in the afternoon.
Wal-Mart staff were confident some fast leads could come in.
“The camera is right above where they did this,” said one.

Why Republicans attack children

Radical conservatives have found a new target for their anger, scorn, and ridicule: Children. Conservative attack dogs have made a point of specifically berating, harassing and insulting the young victims of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida.
Eloquent young students like Emma Gonzalez and David Hogg, whose voices have captivated the nation, draw venomous responses from conservative pundits. Fox News host Laura Ingraham went so far in her attack on Hogg that she’s now lost most of her advertisers and may even lose her show.
Why do conservatives viciously target these young people who have already suffered so much? For one thing, it’s clear that the powerful voices of these young Americans express the truth in a way that resonates with tens of millions of people.
But there’s another reason why conservatives have such a negative response to the voices of young people — a reason deeply ingrained in the conservative political brain. Conservative political thought is governed by a very specific hierarchy, a hierarchy in which children must always be subservient to adults. So, the sight of young people raising their voices to call for change is an existential threat to the conservative moral hierarchy — just as the sight of women, people of color, or LGBTQ people standing up for their rights is always met with fear and derision by conservatives.
This hierarchy (see chart below) explains most Republican political thought. Nearly every piece of conservative legislation is designed to impose this hierarchy on the entire country and to return to some mythical golden past that was great for a few but repressive for the majority of Americans.
Many intelligent people are rushing around trying to figure out why conservatives support Trump, and what ideas unite conservatives as a political force. This was the exact question I set out to answer in the mid-1990s when I wrote a book called Moral Politics. The answer, after years of study, became clear. Conservatives and progressives have two very different concepts of our nation, concepts rooted in very different understandings of morality. And in the conservative system of morality, which I mapped out two decades ago, children are not allowed to speak up to adults.
When conservatives attack students like Emma and David, they aren’t just attacking them because they disagree with their stance on gun massacres. They’re also attacking them because conservatives don’t believe children have a right to raise their voices, period. And their reason for believing this explains nearly every other aspect of conservative thought.
It’s time to stop asking “why” conservatives think the way they do and start figuring out what the American majority can do to make sure their dominance over our political system comes to a swift and final end.
