Hey, Republicans - A Word to the Unwise

In keeping with what we now know to be true, it would be in your own best interests to restrict your inane babblings to FOX-News.

There isn’t a person with even a modicum of common sense who believes a word that comes out of your mouths, or out of the mouth of your “pResident”.

FOX-News, on the other hand, doesn’t have a single audience member who has a modicum of common sense.

If you were smart – which, apparently, you’re not – you would play to the only audience that believes anything you have to say, instead of making complete fools of yourselves on news shows that attract people who know you’re lying idiots (and really bad liars at that.)

Why be laughed at, when you can instead enthral the brain-dead? Why hold yourself out for ridicule by intelligent people, when there’s a whole network that caters to viewers who have no intelligence whatsoever?

It just strikes me as a colossal waste of time to put your efforts into trying to convince well-informed Americans that what was said was never said, that what happened never happened, and that extorting the president of Ukraine for personal gain – and at the expense of our own national security – was “perhaps inappropriate” at best.

Here’s a clue for the clueless: If all you’ve got to sell is a truckload of shit, you should be targeting the people who are already lined up with their wheelbarrows, ready to buy.

Have 35% to 40% of Americans always been this misinformed, gullible, hateful, and racist? I think the answer is yes and that they kept it mostly to themselves until they were given permission by * to say it all out loud.

It is hard to understand why someone would choose to be that kind of a person.

It is so depressing.

The willfully ignorant are always there and like their orange leader can be bought with compliments. The orange faced menace also likes cash.

going to admit that they ARE dumb - and truth be known, they don't even KNOW that they are!

Thus the pairing of "Faux Spews" with "the dumb" is simply a very natural thing with two objects seeking out their own level of comfort.........

You're correct. Next strategy!
