You don't get to skate free of the moral responsibility for your action by saying that you weren't really that enthusiastic about it when you did it, because you still did it.
      Did I say anything about moral responsibility? I am morally satisfied that I helped keep Hillary Clinton out of office. I am not all that happy about Trump, but better him than Clinton. Oh, did I mention I am not now and never have been an avid Trump supporter.

        I helped keep Hillary out of office. I deserve a pat on the back for that.

              It’s anazing how a clueless NZ liberal continues to show his ignorance of how things in the US works. Funny thing is failures to follow laws and standards are a major factor in many mass shootings. The latest shooting is a string of failures where police didn’t arrest a kid that was known to be a problem that had made numberous threats towards his school. If the police did their jobs he would of had a criminal record that may have prevented him from obtaining the gun he used. Likewise, armed officers didn’t react on time and may be responsible for further deaths. The Texas church shooter had a felony record that simply wasn’t reported that allowed him to obtain his gun. Yet, we’re supposed to trust these fools with our safety when their incompetene is a leading factor in mass shootings. Okay, whatever you say... I sleep quite well at night knowing that I don’t trust these idiots with my safety.

                Actually you deserve a slap side of the head or something to wake you out of your stuper. Though if this first year of Trump hasn't snapped you out of it, then apparently your condition is permanent.

                    It would be 'stupor', Jimmy, not 'stuper'. The Union is secure, Jimmy - there are checks and balances in place. But it's fun watching the extreme leftist nutters like you commiserate so. It's entertaining.

                        CNN, MSNBC, not much difference.

                          Still better than FOX or Brietbart by miles.

                            To a liberal, sure. Just the opposite direction.

                              CNN might be a little better than Fox News, but I think MSNBC is legitimately worse than Fox News at this point in terms of bias, and that is not something I say lightly.

                              I'm not sure how I'd rank Breitbart. It's certainly more biased than either, but at the same time it wears its partisanship so much on its sleeve that it's at least up front with what its biases are. MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN try to present themselves as nonpartisan, at least nominally, despite how skewed they are.

                                Its target audience seems to take it as unbiased truth as best as I can tell so I don't know if this is a mitigating factor.
