It's funny how Trump and his lemmings have now become the snowflakes you once held in such utter disdain. No one dare speak the uncomfortable truth about your Dear Leader without you throwing a hissy fit.

Whell likes it when you call him names. He then gets to feel superior. In fact, it's the best way he has to feel superior. So, his game is to get people to call him names.
Calling us names is a good ways back as a source of whell-satisfaction, but it's not nothing....

He thinks he's getting under our skin, which is laughable. He's such an ignorant fool, one can only laugh.

It's not so much that he's ignorant. Or foolish. He may be both of those things, but it's hard to tell, because ACTING in ways that seem ignorant and foolish to us makes sense for him. Whell is very self-directed, playing his own game, and his game is not ours. We to a very large degree value truth, logic, fairness, and other nice educated liberal stuff. Whell mainly values feeling superior and not inferior, vis a vis liberals who think they are so smart. And he is so needy on that value axis that it totally drowns out all other values. In argument he is an utter amoral troll therefore.
He may or may not know that Trump is truly a lying authoritarian pig, and the greatest internal danger this democracy has ever faced. I can't tell. Because if he knows it, he'll never admit it. That would sabotage his personal fight, which is all that actually matters to him.

And now Manafort is headed for the can, making him more likely to flip. Line up Flynn, Cohen and Manafort as cooperating prosecution witnesses and you’ve got a prospect that explains the panic in Trumpland."

Nah, he's a Trump cultist like so many others and considers Trump's myriad delusions facts. He's from the Jim Jordan school of political theory (the idiot FreeDumb Caucus member from Ohio who claimed that he has never heard Trump tell a lie).

So, a lefty cartoonist wants to blame Trump for his termination. There's no evidence to back up his claims, other than his public statements. His public statements are at odds with the public statements of his employer. I point this out, and I'm an ass. And then some of the other fact challenged folks here pile on with posts that, while they agree with statements about me, make no effort at all to dispute the fact that the public statements of the paper are at odds with the public statements of the cartoonist.
How sycophantic of y'all.
