As are the claims by flat earthers and anti-trumpers that they still have a case. And the diehards in both cases actually honestly think they have a case. So I'll give them props for sincerity.

What IS still fun for me is the articles and videos showing the blatant anti-trump bias of the dying MSM. But the shine is starting to fade even on those.

It's why I don't come here as often as I used to. To quote Mark Twain (and others) "It's hard to win an argument with a smart person. It's virtually impossible to win an argument with a stupid person."

And let's be honest, if you are arguing with a stupid person, it is really two stupid people arguing.

Using your own argument, will a smart person vote for a Felon?
So people who willingly vote for a Felon are stupid. Q.E.D.

"Blatant anti-Trump bias"

The article I quoted was from the darling of the right wing Republicans, Fox news. Perhaps you missed that in your rush to call anyone who doesn't believe in Trump "stupid"

What's with Mag-a-Lardo Mussolini and his obsession with Arnold Palmer's penis?
Try to imagine any rational candidate using that random line of logorrhea in a campaign speech.
His signature hyperbolic con-artist fabulist oratorical style has always been Donerrhea, oral diarrhea, with same product and result as its namesake.

Many don't understand that those of us that consider his felony "conviction" to be a badge of honor believe that because we understand the details of the case, and why it truly is "lawfare". We also find it comical that those behind this are afraid he is going to do the same thing to them when he regains power.

That is called projection.

We consider his "conviction" to be high comedy. Similar to his two impeachments. It just proves, once again, that he is over the target, and they are using what little they have to try to stop him. And it almost always backfires.

Like the trump supporting middle aged woman being "live interviewed" on NPR said during the 2016 election, when asked about the "grab 'em by the p***y remark" said, "I'm voting for president, not husband.".

I don't consider Fox News to be right wing. I never have. They just are not nearly as biased as CNN and, especially, MSNBC, which I consider to be closer to satire than news.
And to be clear, I DO consider many of the FOX analysis programs to be right wing. But that is not what your link is quoting.

And NBC? fuggitaboutit.

That is what now makes Trump "fun" for me.

I believe I've mentioned this before: I was temp banned twice on my favorite conservative forum (freerepublic.com) for complaining about trump during the 2016 campaign. And it was because of what he said and how he said it. I used to joke that a local store had a sale on the word, "very", and he cleaned them out.

But then he became president, and I LOVED what he actually DID as president. And that was when it hit me: I was not applying to trump the rule I normally apply to all politicians: Ignore what they say and watch what they do.

That changed everything. I now consider him to be the best president in the last 100 years. And I continue to ignore what he says. Or, at the very least, cut him slack in his less than articulate speech. Vance runs circles around him in that area.
