Take back this outrageous piece of fake news at two of my state's national representatives. He's a nondescript bumbling idiot, she's so funny and such a gold mine of quotable lines (CIA crack cocaine, I was a millennial once, socializing ... wait what is it when the government runs all your companies?). So don't confuse a national treasure with Schiff. | ||

As a person in the middle, I see the right use it far more times than the left. You choose to ignore the right's usage on it, not going to argue with you there. | ||

I dunno, I'd probably also fall in the middle? I just don't think that calling someone an idiot is the right's insult of choice. Liar or crook seems to be more common. | ||

I am pretty sure that even if you think you are in the center, a bunch of people are gonna call you a "regressive leftist" or something along those lines. From what i have seen over the last few months, everyone but the most right-wing of right-wingers are "leftists", "regressive leftists" or "the left" | ||

The people I approach about name calling can't even back their own "facts" or sit to debate without getting mad, aggressive, and this is on both sides. But I've definitely have had more issues with right wingers because they choose to believe in their narrative without accepting new facts, where lefts choose to believe their narrative, and accept new facts. | ||

After all, it has long been established that educational achievements and intelligence are broadly correlated. The right don't dispute it, they simply view it as a reverse correlation. | ||

Two people in the middle disagreeing on who uses it more. A pretty big tell that you're in the middle lol. Go back in the thread and research the beginning of the acrimony and see which parties were involved. Actually, let me know what parts of the (historical) Republican platform you agree with. | ||

McCaskill and others announcing their support for the Iran deal mere days after secret meetings with Russian officials. Waiting for the probe of what really went on behind closed doors. But I'm well aware of things that were fine in 2015 turning sinister in 2016. Because you lost an election. Now, go contact Democratic Senator Ed Markey. Ask what really went on when he was partying with the Russian Ambassador at the French ambassadors residence. Or wait, that was 2016 so clearly they were at the same party and never met. Absolutely absurd, Senators are involved in treaties and ambassadors are representatives of foreign governments. With the Iran deal, Russia was on our "team", and we were coordinating with them. It was a 6 or 7 nation deal. Sessions meets with the Russian ambassador/spy at the worst possible time. And it's part of a pattern with team Trump. Pretty partisan to brush it off. | ||

Since that's probably the most reasonable way to interpret the Sessions issue. | ||
