No, I was not talking about joining the democrat lunatic fringe. The line I was talking about was someone other than Mitt Romney speaking up when he does something asinine.

There are numerous GOP leaders that were once critical of Trump in the past but now have turned into supreme ass kissers. Lindsay Graham is a prime example.
Lindsay Graham will tell the President when he doesn’t agree with him.

The whole time the POTUS was calling the Meuller Investigation a “witch hunt”, Graham was working with democrats to provide protections against the President firing him.

Trump was claiming the Ukraine was responsible for hacking emails from the DNC, Graham has stated on several occasions that “It was Russia, not the Ukraine.” He’s stood with the President on things he believes are right, but has had no issue speaking his mind when he doesn’t.

I’ve grown to like Graham a lot. He’s a funny motherfucker, too.

Does he think people are stupid? I mean, some are stupid enough to actually believe this shit, but the vast majority of Americans are watching this and rolling their fucking eyes.

I do think he thinks people are stupid.

But I think the real problem is that he's stupid.

My guess is that this didn't even register to him, because the agenda comes first, then you try to find facts to support it.

Yeah I don't think the idiot even realized it. You're absolutely right. Economy doing well, I need to prove that Trump has fucked the economy, now lets find a graph that I think fits my agenda. It's not about being truthful, it's about trying to disprove anything positive about Trump or the Republican side in general. And frankly he isn't the only one who does it. It's why you see such misleading statistics posted by idiots who don't understand the statistics they are talking about at all.

Also, what stood out to me about his statement was that "Disparity DOES matter."

I've never understood that. If my net worth doubles and Warren Buffett's triples, what do I care? All that matters is that I'm doing so much better. Why should I be upset if someone else does even better than me? I thought that was "hating."

Because you've obviously been victimized

Again, it's just bastardizing statistics. If the majority of people's positions improves than it's a good thing. It doesn't make it bad simply because someone else's position improves even more. Most dumb people will just hear it and assume they are getting screwed.

Because in the mind of these bozos, someone else having more means you have less. They think economics is a zero sum game.

I know, the concept of growing the pie doesn't exist to some. They think of it as if someone gets a bigger piece of the pie than everyone else must be getting less. But that's not how it works. Imagine if you can just have a bigger pie.

I guess he felt compelled to explain.

Trump can't even drink water with one hand and navigate down a ramp.

Yet I remember more than a few posts around here how Clinton was stumbling about.
