Nut jobs on both extremes

Agreed. Our political climate is truly depressing, which is why I try to ignore it as much as possible.

It's why I'd prefer to not be bound to it as much as possible.

Well, he ain't helping. 

That said, it is not just him. It is a lot of folks on the far ends. Trump is just the easiest to blame as he is the highest profile leader. 

That and the fact that he can't keep his informal mouth shut.

He seems incapable of taking a win and just moving on. Either on his own or by getting prodded in some way, he'll give back the point he scored by not being able to ever STFU.

I'm convinced that it's the result of him having grown up with yes men all around him.  While that doesn't absolve him, since he's an adult, I can at least see how he's been pushed that way.

The partisans are both doing their NPC responses per their programming. Those who hate the two in nearly equal measure see a lone idiot (or very small group of idiot losers) who'll be in jail by election day.

This is something those on the Louie side of things could bring up more.  The NPC term is used almost exclusively to refer to lefties, but there are just as many bots on the right that seemingly lack the ability to form a single critical thought of their own.

Calling them the enemy of the people is a biiiit much. 

But, yeah, they do not themselves any favors and are not blameless. 

Trump did something that went a biiiit too far?  I'm shocked.

Boo fucking hoo 

your precuous trump doesn’t get any love from CNN. You cry more than the libtards you accuse of always crying. 

I actually read this as a missed opportunity to call someone a snowflake.

Is it true they did not even contain a detonator?  If so, is it still a bomb?

Is a gun without a firing pin still a gun?

I smell a nut job in the works.  

Oh, I think that much is clear.

It seems to means something to you when it's anti-R, since you immediately go to the "media bias" angle when that happens. I just find it funny when people who complain about media bias used even more biased sources for their personal news/entertainment.

In case you have been AWOL for a few years, shooting the messenger around here is quite common.

Well, all your cries about media bias whenever anti-R/Trump news show that you DO know this quite well.
