Feelings Don't Care About Your Facts
pjmedia.com ^ | 9/24/2018 | Jim Treacher

My fellow Americans: I feel like I need to say this.

A lot of you are angry. You're concerned about what's going on right now, and you're worried about the future. You're disgusted by the actions of your political opponents, and you feel hope and anticipation whenever there's the slightest possibility that their goals will be thwarted. You're filled with dread when they're winning, and you're lifted into paroxysms of joyous schadenfreude when they fail.

Good news: Those feelings are all you need! If there was ever a time in American history when it was worthwhile to pay attention to facts and evidence, those days are over. Thanks to the cutting-edge technology of the early 21st century, choosing to go with your gut has never been easier or more effective. Name the outrage, and you're just a click away from the corresponding mob.

Yeah, well isn't that the real issue? How strongly you FEEL? Screw that fact there is ZERO evidence. What does evidence have to do with it? From the article:

".......you really wanted Hillary Clinton to be elected president in 2016. You didn't care what anybody said about her, because that just proved they were terrified of a strong, independent woman who blazed a trail through American history by marrying a guy who later got elected president. You were devastated when she lost because it confirmed your belief that this country hates women.* The pussy-grabber defeated the pussy-possessor, and it plunged you into despair."

You didn’t insult anyone so I don’t see why you’d be “jailed”.

Possibly "naughty" words/phrasing. Of course it wasn't in the main body so I could get some slack. 👹🍿🍻👍🏼

There are much naughtier word that I’ll hit “Abuse” on. Since the Billy Bush circus, it’s kind of difficult to avoid a certain phrase.

Frankly, the real objective is to take down the white man, aka, patriarchy. It’s just that ‘sexual improprieties’ has emerged as their silver bullet.

I’ll bet it surprised even the feminazis how easily and quickly they could make the hated white male go away - even when he claims innocence! Corroborating evidence? Ha! Innocent until proven guilty is so...yesterday.

Dominance, oppression, and eventual subjugation is the game plan. Kavanaugh, et. al., are simply cannon fodder.

Sometimes. ;-)

Actually, I hit "Abuse" when one poster called another one the "c" word. Out bounds!

Downright great article - gives me cover to totally ignore the character and accomplishments of this Kavanaugh guy - so what if he’s got a fine legal mind, an unblemished record on the bench and a fine life as a husband, father, mentor and all ‘round citizen - I’m going to feel so good about myself, so righteous, so much better than everyone else when I decide that this Ford woman - whether she’s lying, misremembering, or is so psychotic that she has to believe the Judge did something to her to save her own version of reality - really is the victim in an episode no one else can confirm - my feelings over all.....

Jim Treacher(ous) lets his own egotistical animus toward Trump affect him far too much.
