Trump cuts Medicare while Insurance Companies Pay No Taxes, Receive 1.7 Bil refund

Someone's gotta balance this place out. I wish I didn't have to, as I'd much rather be self aggrandizing ass than someone who has to explain things to everyone.

It doesn't seem to be taking, though.

What fascinates me is the absolute faith people have. The history of consistent failures means nothing. The incidents of overtly racist actions means nothing. The scandals mean nothing.

And I have no idea why.

We just came out of a presidency where a man was scrutinized for every little thing. Every aspect of his life was gone over with time and again with fine tooth comb.

Now we have a president who literally is everything Obama was accused of being and. . . nothing. Suddenly, we have to be even handed. We have to put things in to context. If there's even an instance of his actions occurring somewhere else, then the bizarre and sometimes criminal acts are just something we have to live with.

I'm not going to sit idly by while people deliberately spout half truths, propaganda, and out-right lies.

I have no problem holding a mirror up to them. Of course, they don't like what they see. Every spin piece, every slanted article is met with the same eye-rolls and jeers that I've come to expect.

I have no problem with conservatism. But that's not what they're supporting. There's nothing even handed or thought out about it. Many times, I log on here to find a new thread with a link to Fox News and some pithy line like "THIS IS BAD!". No thought. No consideration. No opposing opinions to it.

And should I ever point any of this out, I get the ol' "what about_____?", indicating that they're not even WILLING to consider it.

Whatever. Maybe one day they'll wise up and realize that the only reason I'm plastering this up here is because they're doing it first and won't stop being a bunch of little wieners about it.
