Schooled?
Facts ARE not fluid.

Flynn facts, or Kellyanne's alternate facts? Trump facts like the Media is the enemy of the people or Sessions facts like I didn't communicate with the Russians?

Facts haven't mattered to any of them so far & I don't see why they would now.

You tell it like you think it is. You live in a very large world with many differing opinions and perspectives. Open your mind. You may become enlightened... though you'll likely be called a snowflake if that happens. Proceed fully informed. But you'll be a better person for it.

I would prefer you change the "you" to "we" but whatever...

Because I share beliefs and values with many many many people? Hmm, it never occurred to me that to be truly unique I must follow Trump.

Alright, I'm in.

Phew, it was touch and go there for a while. I nearly lost my unique status. Thanks for the head's up. So, where do I go from here?

- Fill my heart with hate.
- Believe that because I'm white, I'm better.
- Fear everything/everyone that's not me or someone like me
- Have a top secret, full gender-reassignment surgery because... female.
- Believe in a God/Religion only in as much as it gets me what I want and discriminates/suppresses anyone who is not me or like me.
- Believe that the economy should work only in my favor.
- Believe that Education is only for the wealthy but then only pretend to get an education and sound stupid 100% of the time thereafter.
- Know in my heart of hearts that keeping everyone around me uneducated, unhealthy and poor is what will raise me to supremacy.
- Pretend to be superior but really be extremely insecure.
- Lie, lie, lie and make things up.

Well, the list goes on and on.

I give up, I'll stay me, my own special kind of unique... or should I say Younique. I guarantee if you knew me, you'd have no other way to explain me AND you'd be exceedingly pleased about it. Especially when I convince a room full of virtual strangers to fly paper airplanes at you for disagreeing with me about anything. I did that to a very Conservative person and we're the closest of friends to this day because of it.

Don't you wish you could say the same about yourself? It's super fun. I love being me! So few people can say that about themselves. Sea Ray? Do you love you? If you did, you'd really despise this Administration and it's Mustard Condiment topper.

No, it's not all about Trump...

We tell it like we think it is. We live in a very large world with many differing opinions and perspectives. Open our minds. We may become enlightened... though we may likely be called a snowflake if that happens. Proceed fully informed. But we'll be better for it.

I love that I misunderstood.

You just accused CNN of becoming a nakedly partisan attack dog for reporting something that no one seems to dispute is true.

Thanks for showing just how insane conservatives have become. Reporting facts means you're the enemy.
The "story" was that Trump lied, pretending to be for a path to legal status when he really isn't. CNN being a "nakedly partisan attack dog" comes in where CNN pretends to be a victim, thus finding a way to be horrified even when getting part of what they nominally want.

I totally agree about the righteous indignation at being lied to by Trump people. At this point nobody should be surprised.

I didn't say he lied. I said he messed with their minds, gave them false hopes which affected their pre-speech coverage. He didn't have to lie to engage in deception.
How very strange that a completely non-partisan news organization like CNN would get "false hope" over a Democrat position. /s

It was also the GOP position before Trump found exploiting race resentment to be more effective. I suppose it's fair to say CNN isn't a big fan of that strategy.
