Dave Rubin had Andrew Klavan on his show. This particular clip speaks very much to what we've been discussing here in this thread:

This is a matter of perspective. We all have our own set of lenses. The vitriol I read/heard/saw during Obama's presidency was far beyond any I had seen before. I liked Obama and felt it unjustified in my opinion. Now Trump is getting similar criticism and his supporters see it as unjustified.

Who got what worse is not an objective that can be satisfied with a yes or no.

Maybe if you were reading QOs posts all 8 years, but on a mainstream level? Not even close.

The data even supports it.

Presenting scientific data to boogie is like handing a chimp a rubik's cube. It frustrates and confuses him.

That's probably at least as legit a pairing as Trump vs. Hillary. Odds are it'd get a much larger turnout at the polls, too.

IMHO it seems to me since I was a kid during Clinton years that each party who has not had the presidency has attempted to out do the previous minority party with their hysteria and outrage against the current president as bitching about the current president rather than attempting anything constructive has proven to help the minority party work back toward gaining power in subsequent elections.

Really the blame falls somewhere between the Democrats and their treatment of Reagan's judicial appointees and the stark change in politics that came with Newt Gingrich's speakership and rise to power when he was willing to cravenly screw George H.W. Bush. Each party that hasn't had the presidency has just dialed up these tactics to 11 over and over again.

I believe in science, but studies can can be fallible. I don't think people's perspectives can be scientifically quantified.

So we've gone from no evidence of collusion to at least a reasonable suspicion. Jonah Goldberg at National Review writes that Trump no longer gets the benefit of doubt...elements of Fox News starting to drop the cover for Trump....Krauthammer calling it collusion...Drudge fanning the flames that Pence is making moves behind the scene....some pro-trump conservatives suggesting an elaborate set-up by the Democrats (who are also somehow simultaneously incompetent)

Should be an interesting couple of months.

The Democrats are incompetent when it comes to governing. They are great at cheating.

So now we have a fox newscaster making anti-Trump statements. Is he speaking his mind or hoping to land a job at CNN?

It is probably a shock to people who buy into the memes, but Fox has had many anti-Trump analysts and reporters since he got elected, and throughout the campaign. Fox actually covered Trump a lot less than other networks during the Republican primaries.

And Shepard Smith is one of the best in the business - he's straight news.

Truth. A lot of trump stories have been at least negative about him.

Aside from Jr. clearly being set-up, being offered dirt on someone isn't proof of anything, much less collusion. Bad lack of judgement and it makes him look pretty stupid, but that's about it.

And collusion is not criminal unless it involves illegal acts you are knowingly a party to. That's why no reporter ever went to jail for breaking news on Watergate, Snowden, etc...

lol Women's March tweeted out their support of a woman who is on the fbi's most wanted list and who killed a cop. Love when these groups start as something worth while and get taken over by the "fringe" left. Unfortunately it seems that the "fringe" is becoming bigger and bigger.

It's this thread of 20 tweets condoning violence in response to people questioning why they wished happy birthday to Assata Shakur.

It will just be another disgrace that the left will sweep under the rug. Not surprised. Also those series of tweets pretty much attacked anyone who leans slightly right. So, can they just finally admit they don't represent and support all women?

How can you not be entertained with everything going on with the Trump presidency? Everyday there is something new to peak your curiosity. The only problem I have is there isn't enough hours in the day to take it all in.
Cuban is absolutely on-point that Trump might ruin it for another outsider.

And LOL at Bush.....Trump is an idiot, but I'd probably take Cuban over any of the clowns in Washington. Yes, leadership and policy matters - lawyers and career politicians are good at drafting legislation and pretty much useless for everything else.

Here's a joke you wouldn't hear today:

Jay Leno, about 20-some years ago (on CNN's show "The Nineties"):
"People are talking about Donald Trump running for President....Since then, he's had an affair, gotten divorced and run-up several millions in debt.....so I guess he'll be running as a Democrat"
