What is wrong with these people?


I'm trying hard to imagine the level of psychotic delusion it must take to be one of these women:






Now I don't know why CNN felt the need to put these weirdos on the air. I guess maybe a "holy fuck look how crazy these fucking idiots are" story might be good for ratings. But if you're going to insist on talking to these kinds of demented simpletons, at least you could ask a few questions about consistency.

Such as:

If President Trump's sexual indiscretions are not relevant to the job of President, was that also true for President Clinton? If not, why not?

or

If President Trump is chosen/ordained by God to lead the nation. why wasn't President Obama? Did got oversleep in 2008 and 2012 and forget to go to the polls?

You know, when I was a young fundamentalist boy, not so very long ago - no it wasn't. It was not that long ago. - when I was a youngster, I was taught in my fundamentalist parochial school that all authority figures were ordained by God. There's a passage in the New Testament where Jesus tells Pontius Pilate something along the lines of "you only have power because my Father [God] has given it to you." So from this passage, it was extrapolated that your parents were in charge of you because God had put them in charge of you. Not because they were older and wiser and knew things and made the money to pay the bills and were. therefore, paying the cost to be the boss, but because God himself had put them in that position. Likewise, the mayor was in charge of the city because God had put him in charge of the city. The Governor is in charge of the state because God put him in charge of the state and so on and so on from the local cop on the beat all the way up to the President of the United States.
So, if these deranged deniers of reality were applying that principle to the presidency of Donald Trump, then surely the same principle must have applied to President Obama, right? Right?

oh right. . .


Anyway, while it is impressive to watch these ladies go through the mental gymnastics to convince themselves that Micheal Cohn - MICHEAL COHN! - generously  paid off Stormy Daniels with his own money without Trump's involvement because he was worried that even a false rumor about Trump's sexual indiscretions would hurt his campaign's chances after the "grab 'em by the p--sy" tape hadn't hurt him a bit, I'm not sure I really see the point of putting these daffy dullards on the air.
I mean, when you can sincerely, with a straight face, look a reporter in the eye and claim that a porno actress is somehow less credible than a man who lies publicly an average of six times a day, http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-donald-trump-liar-20171208-story.html
why would anyone want to hear what you have to say about anything except to gape in wonder at the elaborate construction of your fever dream or to mock and ridicule you? Either way, seems like CNN  should have something better to put on the air.
I mean, I know they don't, but the should.

As a student of history, I always used to wonder how people could have been so gullible and stupid to believe Hitler's Nazi propaganda about Jews and everything else. I thought it could not possibly happen again, that today's people were much more intelligent and informed.

Pretty naive, eh?

Sadly, CNN lost its viability, along with its relevance and integrity, several years ago and I see no reason to watch what has become something of a media joke anymore.

I almost fell off my set laughing when one of them said “I haven’t seen any hard proof they had sex” - You couldn’t make it up could you?
