A bad habit of sniffing anesthesia

7. A co-worker today sided with Carson & against Samuel L Jackson because Carson is a brain surgeon.

This sort of thinking explains why the deplorables think 45 is smart because he is a "billionaire." There is absolutely no point in arguing with right wingers any more. It is a complete waste of time.
