Honest question.

I just watched Kimberly Guilfoyle's speech. It was nuts. Pure insanity. No speech at the DNC's convention was insane like that.

Trump was a further conspiracy theorist, who used that to elevate himself to Presidency.

Both parties have wackos in them, but only the Republicans seem to embrace their inner nut job. Why is that?

That's a DAMNED good question, Wally. They're allowed to be crazy and they get away with saying sht that Democrats would be run out of town for saying.

I didn't watch two seconds of the RNC fiasco, live, and don't PLAN to. But I caught some segments of it last night in a Stephen Colbert skit. I swear, for a moment I thought it was satire. And Guifoyle! (is that her name? don't know her from ADAM......)

It was BEYOND parody. There's NO SNL skit that could TOP it. And they wonder why we call them BATSHIT CRAZY.

It is a legit question though seriously. If Kamala Harris had yelled and screamed and ranted like that. WE ALL KNOW they would have had a godamn meltdown all over Fox News.

Michelle Obama talked about that in Becoming. Always being aware as first lady she had to be EXTRA nice, extra professional. Don Jr was no better looking coked out, and ranting.

Because the US mainstream media, owned by corporations spearheaded by rich white men, has always had a deference to conservatism. This isn't a knock on conservatism, it's just the truth. America has historically been a politically center-right wing country. The media, since the advent of television, has always helped to play a part in that.

It's just that now, the demographic shift is happening, which is shifting the US towards a more center-left political climate, and as a response, old school US conservatism has given way to far right wing batshit nonsense as white supremacists who feel like their grasp is slipping in this country have taken control of the GOP, and they are saying the quiet parts out loud. None of what you see from the Republican party right now is remotely normal. This is why you have old school GOPers leaving the party and endorsing Joe Biden. They know that their party has been hijacked by the fringe extremists that they used to dog whistle to for votes from the late 60s til 2015, and the train has gone off of the rails.

The media however, is still playing by the old rules of deference, and is treating everything as if it still normal, and it has been to the country's detriment, as we are now closing in on 200,000 Americans dead within 6-7 months from a pandemic, great depression levels of unemployment, and civil unrest in the streets.

It should be pointed out that none of the speakers at the RNC are conservatives. Kimberly Guilfoyle is not and has never been a conservative. They are conspiracy theorists and self dealing cons. All of the true government conservatives have left the room.

Maybe that used to be the truth but since 2008 the deference flipped towards the Democrats and since 2016 even Social Democrat Marxists aren't getting the unbiased scrutiny they deserve, they almost seem to be protected by certain media outlets who talk down or ignore their violent crimes.(Antifa, BLM & Social Democrats are all far-left Marxists)

Negative is aa subjective term, improperly applied. The coverage is accurate, Trump's actions are negative which is why the coverage appears negative. Truth is truth, shit always stinks, no matter how you report it.

I wonder who you trust to give unbiased information about your president?
I've guessing you prefer the biased (leftist) kind, right?

Have you ever stopped to consider that the reason why the coverage of Trump is negative is because he's a lying, racist ass hole who is fairly incompetent? It's always a scandal, always chaos that follows him. If he was actually good at his job, the coverage would be different.

Only bigots and/or whackos are in the party now. Exhibit A: The party now has no platform. It is the party of Trump. Full stop.

Right now the GOP has adopted some *core* principles:

- White men are better than everyone else.
- Men rule, women cook.
- LGBTQ people are weirdos.
- The president gets to do whatever he wants, as long as he’s a Republican. Otherwise...nah.
- Tan suits suck.
- Poor people can go fuck themselves — after they vote for us.
- Anything bad that happens is the fault of Hillary Clinton, Obama or George Soros.
- Anyone who votes Republican is by definition a “good guy with a gun.” Any black person with a gun is by definition a “thug.”
- The right to life ends once a baby is born in a ghetto.
- No health insurance? Go home and die.

And finally a brand new one:

- Actually, dictators are pretty cool after all.

Add to that he has absolutely NO INTEREST in doing the actual job and from day one, before day one really he NEVER HAS

I trust what I can see and the values of a lifetime. Truth is not hard to discern, when truth is what you are seeking.

The thing is, it's clear what is going on unless you trust the leftist corporate media to tell you the unbiased truth, they constantly lie and should be treated with enormous skepticism, remember most are corporate owned.

Considering that the President is neither a career politician or that until he was elected President never held a political office.

I think that hearing from people who know that President Trump was investigated for Russian collusion that dogged his first term. Yet career politicians who have been involved in politics for 30 or 40 years have had all the opportunities in the world to improve life for the poor, disenfranchised, tax the wealthiest citizens in this country, etc etc... but have chosen instead to line their own pockets instead.

I think you have bought into the idea that these career politicians actually give a rat's ass whether or not you live or die. When in truth they couldn't care less except for every four years.

The difference in the two are that President Trump doesn't owe any political favors, while career politicians owe their careers and souls to who knows who.

Conservatives want a free country, while far left want this country to become socialist. That is what is at steak in this election. Everyone wants free healthcare, but someone has to pay for it. Everyone wants affordable housing, but many want a house handed to them.

I'm personally still waiting on all the celebrities who were going to leave the country to leave. They were all self important bullshiters who just wanted the publicity.
