Freepers heads are spinning so fast, they are being launched into orbit

They cheered when Trump shut down negotiations.

They cheered when Trump said he'll immediately sign a stand alone bill for $1200

They cheered when Trump now wants a bigger package then what Pelosi and the Dems proposed.

They are just cheering away at everything.

It's kind of fun lurking over there now.

6. Yes. The tweet said Trump wants a 1.8t package, which is still smaller than 2.2b that Pelosi propose

1.8t is smaller than 2.2t, not bigger.

9. And he also says he wants a bigger on then what the Dems or Repubs are offering

"I would like to see a bigger stimulus package, frankly, than either the Democrats or the Republicans are offering. I'm going in the exact opposite now, OK?"

11. What he says and what the WH actually does are not often the same.

You are correct in what the WH has proposed. I was talking about what he reportedly says and how the Freepers react. They cheer everything he says or does even if it contradicts what he said or did previously. And they had cheered that to.

A barrel of laughs over there. It seems there are only a couple dozen of them, at best. When one steps out of line, he's massacred by the others.

Created in 2004 to try to tip the scales for Kerry, didn't quite work out. Still use it occasionally to stoke the crazy over there, always feel like I need a hot shower afterwards.

They are nutso.

14. They're cult members, and consider any disagreement with Trump to be blasphemy.

So, they have to perform whatever mental gymnastics it takes for them to enthusiastically agree with Trump, no matter what lunacy he spits out, and no matter who it conflicts what what they enthusiastically agreed to previously. That's what's going on. It's funny as hell to watch.

Tommy T over at First Draft usually posts a recap on Monday of these numbskulls that's pretty funny. Unfortunately, he's having some health problems (unrelated to wading through their idiocy), so I've missed by weekly fix. Thanks for checking in on them.
