Last Week with John Oliver: Republican National Convention ("Feelings")

A candidate can create feelings, feelings = facts, candidates can create facts. (Just put "In Feelings We Trust" or "Saying Something Makes it True" on the dollar already.)

To me, hearing a politician say "I feel" is worse than hearing fingernails scraping a blackboard. It means nothing where the facts are concerned.

you know you're talking to an idiot. The only proper response is "Don't you know" anything about that?"

I'm so sick of propagandists convincing dimwits that emotional thinking and magical thinking are equivalent to factual thinking.

No, Donny, you aren't going to sit at a clean desk, swan around to DC cocktail parties, and be an idea man. You only get new carpeting and drapes in your office once every four years. And yes, you are going to have to do the job.

Morons!
