But I find myself hoping that these fuckwit excuses of human beings haven't procreated.

That's almost the most irritating thing about this election. You can't fix stupid. There is no cure for this. And I find myself wishing the most horrible, terrible things on perfect strangers.

When the one dumbass kept repeating the bused in voter lie, and lying, then changing his story 2-3 times about how many buses, no wait, cars, no wait, the other guy saw them. no wait, he saw...

CARS WITH OUT OF STATE PLATES!!!!???? Clearly, evidence of illegal voters if ever their was any.

Another guy about the Ford deal.

And the others...

Anything that's gone wrong isn't his(trCHUMP's) fault.

It's everybodys fault but his.

If you read his book you would understand.

I'm going to eat an apple then go to bed.

I wish she had asked them about all of the flights to Florida and the golf. I'm sure they would have excused it as "needing a break from working SO hard" even though they probably excoriated Obama (as tRump himself did) any time he ever took a day off.

Please post tomorrow's clip too. I'm very curious how they will excuse actual TREASON. I'm sure they'll find a way to pin that on Obama as well.

They make excuses like my teenager when he's home late for the 3rd Friday night in a row. It's almost comical - if it wasn't so scary and borderline pathetic.

I can find no compelling reason to reach out to them. Lord Dampnut's dishonesty and failure as a leader are now as flagrantly obvious as the sun in a clear sky - in fact, they were perfectly clear before the election - and they won't admit they made a grotesque mistake.

Our efforts should be twofold - making sure Democrats and like-minded people turn out to vote, and reaching out to the reasonable people who voted for Trump either because they didn't like Hillary Clinton or because they got schnookered in by Trump's alleged business prowess, and who now realize they got a raw deal.

When the guy said Ford is keeping jobs here now because of tRUMP, why didn't Camerota say that, that decision had already been made during the Obama administration??!! The media has come a long way since tRUMP got elected, but they can't let things like this slip by!

They just blindly swallowed all of Trump's toxic lies as if they were candy! If Trump is a pathological liar to whom lying comes as naturally as breathing, we must remember that there appear to be those who just live to breathe in the lies that Trump breathes out as if they were the very breath of life. You and I here at DU find it hard to fathom how, after 70 days of abysmal failure, Trump's approval rating could be even as high as the mid 30s. Well, here's your answer. One thing I noticed was that it was extremely hard for the reporter to remain entirely unbiased or open ended in the questions she was asking them, to elicit their true opinions. Was that her mission, or was it, as someone else said, to call them out on their BS?

Yet I see almost daily how quickly fact-free speculation gets debunked right here.
VS the alt/right lies that runs our current presidency.
But we all must adapt to the consequences of the Murdoch/O'really/Hannity created alterverse.
Obviously these nutjobs were hand-picked to embarrass the alt/right, but I'm willing to bet that half of this ardent group will eventually realize how badly they've been screwed before Frump's term is up.

The problem is the media - two decades of lies on conservative media have brainwashed these people.
