Agreed. It seems that Philip Cushman's warning against the epidemic of Empty Self has become pretty widespread.

I know your gimmick is to pretend you speak for THE PEOPLE, but when someone says "most people", you can't disagree simply because of your personal desires. And that's not even going into the sheer volume of links you post to right-wing-biased blog/news sites that do confirm your beliefs and opinions. Man, sometimes I really do think you're a smartass left-winger who took inspiration from Colbert to create an over-the-top right wing persona designed in an attempt to make conservatives look like reality-detached loons.

Ok, here's MY conspiracy theory!

The hosts of Morning Joe were actually quite friendly with Trump before the election. Now they are simply deranged about him and he of them.
I think... Joe and Mika got leaned on quite heavily for palling around with Trump and had to change their behavior once Trump was elected or probably lose their jobs. Trump got resentful of them bailing out on him so then he threw a fit and started twittah wars with them.
And that's where we're at now.

Wouldn't surprise me, since as I recall, Joe said his breaking point was Trump insulting that one judge. Before then, Trump insulted any number of other people, often in more vicious ways, with no complaint by them.

I don't pretend.

"We the people" : Republicans :: "We are the 99%" : Democrats

Okay, so you're either delusional to the "seek help. now." level or just a troll.
