@cicerone imposter,
Did you hear him talking about how Hillary is going to allow 650 million illegal immigrants into the country in her first week in office? No, I'm serious. That's about double the present population of the whole country!

He's been let by with so much bullshit he now just says whatever comes to his addled mind.

@snood,
Trump is a dummy. What's more dangerous is Trump's economic plans. It'll destroy our fragile economy.

The US ranks #1 in the world today. Trump will destroy it, and bring recession to the world.

@blatham,
When I read that piece I almost laughed, I thought it was a comedian trying to be funny but trying too hard. But that was before I remembered who Alex Jones is, then I hit the wall. It is almost impossible to believe that these nut balls have a platform let alone followers. Have we become so stupid we can't even acknowledge crazy pants anymore. These folks aren't crazy amusing, they are crazy dangerous.

@glitterbag,
Plenty of us here acknowledge all the crazy pants storming the country. The extra weirdness, to me, is that facts and logic are tossed away in a manner I've never run into at this level much less so widely.

@ehBeth,
Trump brags he went to Wharton, but the faculty and students disavow him.

Wharton to Trump: You do not represent us.

I wonder if this is a first for any college?

Many people know that trump is full of **** but they choose him as the lesser of two evils. I do agree with them but I choose to vote for the best person to lead our country.

@reasoning logic,
It seems you are ignorant why Trump is being disavowed. When any group disavows anybody, it's because that person has many character flaws. Again: Trump is a liar, racial bigot, misogynist, narcissist, religious bigot, and a scammer.
Why any American would want him to be our president has no logical explanation.
It's easy to conclude why people like you supports Trump.

Yes, they are dangerous and this point in time acutely so. And no one has been more responsible for promoting Jones and InfoWars than Donald Trump. Those of us who have been attending to right wing media over the years have known about this guy for a long time but previously no Republican politician at or nearing a serious level of power and influence has acknowledged Jones or appeared on his show.

But the path to this is obvious. Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Coulter, Pat Buchanan, Phyllis Schlafly, Paul Viguerie, Michelle Bachmann, Murdoch's Fox, Gingrich, Mark Levin and many more have all contributed to moving things to where they are now. Warnings from the saner portion of modern American conservatism are certainly welcome but far too belated. I'm really not very optimistic that US politics is recoverable.

Yes. And those voices are not uncommon. Here are the stats for views of his site (be prepared to be frightened). The only almost-humorous element there is found under "Media Interests - TV" https://www.quantcast.com/infowars.com#trafficCard

The Paranoid Style in American Politics
American politics has often been an arena for angry minds. In recent years we have seen angry minds at work mainly among extreme right-wingers, who have now demonstrated in the Goldwater movement how much political leverage can be got out of the animosities and passions of a small minority. But behind this I believe there is a style of mind that is far from new and that is not necessarily right-wing. I call it the paranoid style simply because no other word adequately evokes the sense of heated exaggeration, suspiciousness, and conspiratorial fantasy that I have in mind. In using the expression “paranoid style” I am not speaking in a clinical sense, but borrowing a clinical term for other purposes. I have neither the competence nor the desire to classify any figures of the past or present as certifiable lunatics. In fact, the idea of the paranoid style as a force in politics would have little contemporary relevance or historical value if it were applied only to men with profoundly disturbed minds. It is the use of paranoid modes of expression by more or less normal people that makes the phenomenon significant.

Of course this term is pejorative, and it is meant to be; the paranoid style has a greater affinity for bad causes than good. But nothing really prevents a sound program or demand from being advocated in the paranoid style. Style has more to do with the way in which ideas are believed than with the truth or falsity of their content. I am interested here in getting at our political psychology through our political rhetoric. The paranoid style is an old and recurrent phenomenon in our public life which has been frequently linked with movements of suspicious discontent.

@bobsal u1553115,
I'm usually on your side but don't assume that by hollering with big language makes like it's swell. Loud bold face stuff, your link, more hollering.

James Fallows at the Atlantic has been documenting Trump for nearly half a year in a series of 152 "time capsule" pieces. Today is his last and it includes links to a lot of really top notch writing on Trump, the modern GOP and the really dangerous point in time we find ourselves in. Quite a few of these pieces I've linked earlier here on various threads. Every one is more than worthwhile.

Haven't you heard of Quantitive easing? Creating billions to prop up Wall street's problem gamblers with drug addictions. It seems to work. The Fed won't let you starve, CI.
