Peter Wehner said there’s a reason why many of President Donald Trump’s most loyal supporters won’t turn on him. “It is almost like a hermetically sealed world,” Wehner said on CNN’s “Reliable Sources.” “Facts are like BBs, they’re just bouncing off of a brick wall. They just don’t penetrate.” Wehner, who served in the administrations of presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush and as a senior aide in the White House of President George W. Bush, said it comes down to a concept called the psychology of accommodation. “People decided early on for a variety of reasons to accommodate...

I was listening to Rush read the VD Hanson article about the freakshow parade that might result from an impeachment trial of Trump.

The only good thing that can be said about the U.S. propaganda media is that they aren’t the only ones who know how to BS people. Turns out our ‘good buddies’ the Kurds in Syria are pretty good propagandists too. If only that ogre Donald Trump hadn’t decided to pull American troops out of yet another failed Mideast dung heap.
