Then go find some corner to pout! Kinda wondering why you spend your time here instead of some alt-right conspiracy forum where you'll have more consensus with your views? Maybe that’s where he gets his views.

It's not about anything more than intentionally being a dick. Some people aspire to more. Some don't. I don't get it, personally, but when one cannot get noticed for positive reasons I guess this is the next-best thing?

I never understood the need for attention regardless of the type, positive or negative. that is one possibility. the other is that some people seem to thrive on getting on the nerves of those who don't share their perspective. I never really have gotten that. I want to make people comfortable, not uncomfortable.

Looks like the citizens of Michigan can blame their Governor Opening her mouth causing the problem, If they have "CONTRACTS" with a company, the company fails to deliver on the terms of the "CONTRACT" the problem is between her and the company!

Trumpian level braggadocio you could say. “Super boy” took you all the way for a brief glimpse of the Heaven you won’t be going to later. So stop lying now or come up with better material in rebuttal.

Trump chips away at Congress' role in coronavirus relief oversightPresident Donald Trump intends to ignore provisions in the newly passed $2 trillion coronavirus relief bill intended to shore up Congress' oversight of the massive rescue program. The legislation establishes a "special inspector general" to review and investigate loan decisions made by the treasury secretary as part of the coronavirus relief effort, an accountability measure that was a central part of Democrats' demands to shore up transparency in the bill. The provision requires the inspector general to notify Congress if he or she is "unreasonably refused or not provided" any information. But in a signing statement issued shortly after he approved the bill, Trump says he'll be the last word on whether this provision is followed. "I do not understand, and my Administration will not treat, this provision as permitting the [inspector general] to issue reports to the Congress without the presidential supervision required" by Article II of the Constitution, Trump said in the signing statement. Trump also indicated he would treat as optional a requirement in the bill that key congressional committees be consulted before Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of State or U.S. Agency for International Development spends or reallocates certain funds.

Trump's version of pass the bill, then you'll find out what is in it? And I'll do what I want to do as usual. 1/2 trillion dollars to large corporations! whoo---hoo #MAGA

I think it was mentioned somewhere in this thread as a possibility: Medical Expert Who Corrects Trump Is Now a Target of the Far RightDr. Anthony Fauci, the administration’s most outspoken advocate of emergency virus measures, faces a torrent of false claims that he is mobilizing to undermine the president. ... An analysis by The New York Times found over 70 accounts on Twitter that have promoted the hashtag #FauciFraud, with some tweeting as frequently as 795 times a day. The anti-Fauci sentiment is being reinforced by posts from Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, a conservative group; Bill Mitchell, host of the far-right online talk show “YourVoice America”; and other outspoken Trump supporters such as Shiva Ayyadurai, who has falsely claimed to be the inventor of email. ... In an interview, Mr. Fitton said, “Dr. Fauci is doing a great job.” He added that Dr. Fauci “wrote very political statements to Hillary Clinton that were odd for an appointee of his nature to send.” The conspiracy theory was soon shared thousands of times across Facebook and Twitter. It was also taken up by messaging groups on WhatsApp and Facebook run by QAnon, the anonymous group that claims to be privy to government secrets. On YouTube, far-right personalities began spouting that Dr. Fauci was a fraud. By Tuesday, the online and television mentions of Dr. Fauci had declined but had become consistently negative, Zignal Labs said. One anti-Fauci tweet last Sunday read: “Dr. Fauci is in love w/ crooked @hillaryclinton. More reasons not to trust him.” www.nytimes.com/2020/03/28/technology/coronavirus-fauci-trump-conspiracy-target.html?algo=top_conversion&fellback=false&imp_id=341763894&imp_id=914829748&action=click&module=trending&pgtype=Article®ion=FooterI guess it is at their own peril that they disregard what Dr. Fauci has to say.

Before mankind left the savannah these are the people that would have been eaten after accusing the elders about a lion in their midst of dealing in "fake news". Thus eliminating their stupidity from the gene pool.

Before mankind left the savannah these are the people that would have been eaten after accusing the elders about a lion in their midst of dealing in "fake news". Thus eliminating their stupidity from the gene pool. I have a theory that once the basic requirements for survival (food, clothing, shelter) reached the point of widespread availability to the general populace, society transitioned into a state of reverse-Darwinism, or survival of the unfittest, with the recent accelerant being the advent of the internet and more specifically, social media which allows the stupid to share their stupidity far and wide, and "smart" devices which allows the rest of the herd to receive such stupidity in real time. Hence...
