Your notion of what is of “real importance” is not definitive, and you’ve given me no reason to think otherwise. If I tried to listen to everyone who claimed that “X is just a distraction from the *real story*,” I’d be in a state of constant confusion. As previously stated, Wonkette is a relativey small operation with limited resources and no obligation to discuss every topic. If you don’t find it a useful source for analysis and opinion (which is what it is; this is not reportage, as I’m sure you know), I suggest you stop torturing yourself and look elsewhere.

The internet is not a place to look to win hearts and minds, period. The way you change minds is over time, by developing relationships. If you pop in occasionally to condescend all over people, you shouldn’t be surprised when they respond badly. And if you don’t care enough about other people here not to treat them like equals, and you really are trolling, then find something more worthwhile to do with your time. We’re all frustrated; your frustration isn’t more important or special, and it doesn’t give you license to lecture others. Either come here more often and get to know folks, or stay away. Trolling is not appreciated or tolerated.

Don’t you have to read things to play Candy Land?

Nope. Just match colours. Still a bit of a stretch but probably within his skill set. Probably.

You'll fuck off, but not before trying to have the last word, right?

How long have you been reading the comments here? Is there any possible way you have read them all? (there are no comments allowed here by the way, and everyone knows that). Are you perhaps generalizing based on shit people say on a tongue-in-cheek mommyblog, shit that in no way encompasses the actual scope of their intelligence or learning?

And this is one small website with a small staff paid by Readers Like Us, so perhaps they don't have the staff or the ability to cover Issues You Consider Important, Which We Must All Now Consider Important in the in-depth way you might like.

And if you don't like the writing or the analysis, you are welcome, once again, to not read it and to fuck all the way off, because I have no idea what your credentials are that make you a good judge of that, other than being in possession of a thesaurus and haven at one point taken classes taught by professors.

The DNC favored Hillary because she was a long-time Democrat who raised millions for the party and supported other candidates, and Bernie uses the DNC whenever he feels like it (see also: the current primaries in Vermont, which he won as a Democrat, thereby preventing another candidate from running against him in the general; he will now discard the Democratic party again and run as an Independent. I like his ideas but he's not a great human being.), and he only caught his snap that he should be supporting other DS candidates after the presidential election. That is not rigging the primaries, as much as you might wish it.

And if you think that Wonkette thinks the DOJ and the FBI have always been awesome, that the staff and readers "love" them, then I dispute your claim that you have read much here. The writers have always been very clear about their distaste for the FBI and the like.

And you can retract whatever you like. I'm polite to them as what deserves it. Holier-than-thou pipsqueaks can take a long walk off a short pier. If you want to change hearts and minds, this is not the way to do it. I actually enjoyed the conversation up to the part where you started talking about everyone here like a bunch of unwashed morons. There's no excuse for that.

Trumpers believe McGahn is Trump's lawyer. He isn't. He is the lawyer for the Presidency. Not for the President. He has zero allegiance to Trump. 30 hours of interviews with Mueller is significant and it's likely more time than some of those Indicted. "The truth" doesn't require 30 hours.

Makes one wonder who attended Trump's Wharton School classes or who took his exams.

McCann knows who he works for. Just like Sessions. Poor Trump thinks everyone works for him.

They only wish they had that much power.

The only games he is familiar with are old-school board games. One day he hopes he'll be able to beat Barron at Candy Land.
