"It is CNN’s job to report the news, to explain the news, to make sense of the news. Providing a stage for a known liar to tell his lies is not journalism. It is a costly act of concession."

Mikey is the epitome of the "useful idiot". One thing we know about Trump is that he sees all of his base as a mob of useful idiots.

Of course in the opinion of Trump's first Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson...Trump is a fucking moron.

Wow, this guy is good. He deflects from his deflection with another deflection. All because I won't debate his "facts" (LOL) about Biden. trying to equate innuendo and allegations about Biden with the facts outlined about tRump. Here's another fact. Although he's yet to be tried for it, he pushed what he knew to be a lie about his election loss and fomented an insurrection that interrupted an orderly transition of power. The first by domestic actors in our nation's history. That was after he tried to interfere with the election itself. Those acts should preclude him from ever holding office again. As I said he hasn't been tried for crimes against the state so if he had any honor he would sit out seeking office until it's settled. Instead he's trying to get into office to use it as a shield against legal action.

Kind of mind boggling about the money they keep sending to his coffers.

Trump keeps bragging to them how rich he is, yet these bozos keep sending him their money which they can ill afford. In my experience, rich people tend to pay their own way.

So what is it? Trump not so rich or his supporters dumber than he is, which is already at the moron level which both Barr and Tillerson agree.

I have to give Donald some credit. He knows a useful idiot when he sees one.
