I think you are correct about Hannity being right, but you should have said far right wing to distinguish that meaning from another that means “correct.” Hannity is almost never correct in the sense of being factually accurate.

I agree. I don’t care much for Hannity.
really, boys! I take umbrage at you daring to compare HANNITY to any kind of girl…mean or otherwise, a really mean girl would have HANNITY crying in the locker-room…where the mean boys would put ELMERS GLUE in his undies.

Thank you, S.O.B. Sean.
It’s no easy task, for sure. I think we’re seeing signs of it in the form of lots of new local election campaigners who were motivated by the rise of Trump. Stuff like Tom Perez being shoehorned in as chair of the DNC was discouraging, and I’m not a big fan of the old school pro-corporate Dems, but I have been heartened by what I have seen in terms of democratic voter turnout and young people becoming more engaged than ever. I’m one of them and along with my peers more of us are paying attention now than ever before. Protesting, voting, encouraging people around us to be engaged. “Elections have consequences” feels real now after Hillary lost when she wasn’t supposed to.
During the Obama years there was a sense that there are adults in the room, that things are mostly taken care of by professionals… we’ve now become disillusioned of that belief, and feel a sense of personality responsibility now that I don’t think existed on a national level in the youth consciousness a few years ago.

“Liberal Joe” isn’t liberal. He barely acknowledges the push for economic justice while consistently pushing for traditional Republican policies, even after he has relabeled himself as an Independent. The fact that “traditional Republican policies” don’t include concern for the poor doesn’t concern Morning Joe.
I’m sick of “Morning Joe” and his unwarranted prominence in our national discussion of policy. He’s not paid to think things through, and he doesn’t.
We don’t have a health care problem in the US, we have a health care PAYMENT problem. THAT is the problem that Obamacare never solved, and still needs solving. If the GOP could bring themselves to rationally governing, they might solve that. Morning Joe doesn’t go there, it’s all about winning/losing, never about deep thought on policy.
We don’t have unfair taxation on the wealthy in the US, the wealthy in the US enjoy the LOWEST TAX RATES of any major civilized country. At one time, during a Republican presidency (Eisenhower), the most wealthy US citizens had a tax rate of 90% (look it up). That was the greatest period of growth in US wealth we’ve ever had. Look it up. Morning Joe? Bupkis. Never discusses this.
What’s Joe’s position on climate change? We’re facing major worldwide upheavals on this topic - mass migration, starvation, and worldwide warfare, according to even the DoD’s assessment. And Joe’s too busy wallowing in his newfound prominence to ever mention it.
We don’t need Morning Joe on TV at all. We need a fair, honest, realistic, thoughtful assessment of public policy. I’m not sure that’s even possible from someone who “leans conservative,” like Morning Joe.

Your remark about the liberal principles of the founders having nothing to do with modern liberalism is a tenet of rightwing belief. However strong your faith, there is no evidence for it. It’s just something you have recited so many times that you think it’s true. We liberals are part of the long tradition of promoting the general welfare. We leave corporate welfare to the modern Republicans, who truly have no relation to their mid-19th century progenitors.

That is 100% false—just as we expect from someone with your limited intellectual grasp of the facts.

Nope.
But it is the founding principle of the modern Republican party.

Scarborough is no day at the park, but I’m not sure it’s fair to call him Hannity’s counterpart. A pile of horse manure being swarmed by flies and stinking in the summer sun is Hannity’s counterpart.

Russia is a mobocracy. Lots of us think that is a bad thing, and we don’t like the idea of having a president who is in hock to the mob. Trump has been laundering money for Russian mobsters since the 1980s. He refuses to disclose anything about his finances. He surrounds himself with people whose interests are in making money by any means possible.
Another tenet of Trumpite belief is that all this brouhaha about Russia is bogus because the Soviet Union fell. The problem that they do not see is that what replaced it is just as bad. For us, it’s worse because they want to come over here and corrupt us.

Typical right wing authoritarian follower.
All you ‘see’ and all you hear are products of right wing fever dreams which bear no relationship to reality.
Everyone, on both sides, are talking about Russia (in case you haven’t noticed). I’m old enough to remember when conservatives would have been outraged instead of supportive (you remember, the ‘good old days’).
Hillary lost and the election was compromised.
But you go ahead and tell us what we’re thinking and talking about…it’s quite entertaining.

Yes that is one the things that is wrong with our society - this infantilism that has emerged over the last 30 years or so.
