So now MSNBC and Dershowitz, famously Democrat and liberal, is "conservative media"?

Whatever dudes. Keep fapping yourselves silly with your delusions.

Fern

Dershowitz' opinion is absolutely immaterial.

Have you considered that the one fapping himself silly with his delusions might be the guy who is claiming that people are pleading guilty to things that aren’t crimes?

I love how your argument is basically ‘I know all those lawyers and judges actually working on the case are wrong because I saw something on TV.’

It's a function of Truthiness. He wants to believe it, so he does. And there's no way he'd believe it if it weren't true. At least in his own head.

Agreed. If you look at how Dershowitz has become the leading go to legal expert for conservative media these days, it's because in sum, he's basically argued that a POTUS can do whatever the eff he wants, and there is never any legal remedy for it, including impeachment. So it's no surprise that he doesn't think anything of these election violations. He doesn't think any POTUS can ever be held legally accountable for anything, period. He evidently thinks the drafters of the Constitution were lying when they said they didn't want to have a king any more.

Whether Dershowitz is saying this crap because he has become a Trump supporter, or if he's just trying to make himself relevant by being a contrarian, doesn't really matter. Either way, his legal opinions are not credible.

And then you consider the fact that if Dershowitz really believed in the presidential powers of Donny Don Don, he'd put his money where his mouth is and sign up with the guy. I hear there are several openings for council in the WH, nearly every day.

Yes, but you clipped out the rest of my comment, where I did address Facebook and Twitter. Like I said, they ban people for violating ToS. If more conservatives are making racist remarks which violate the ToS, then more conservatives will get banned. What I want to know is if conservatives are getting banned just for taking conservative positions like opposing welfare. If that is the case, then you'd have a point.

Granted, but the feedback I hear is not of banning per say, as much as their comments being deleted and/or shadowed.

It is "well established" among conservative circles that the tech giants have a bias against them. Right or wrong, Trump is playing that card. And the greater issue is, I believe, how conservatives should react to that treatment. Trump will play to fear and delusion because that is all he is, an orange bag of hot air, but I'm looking past Trump. Tech giants and Republicans do not play well together. That will have consequences.

If Trump could read a book it should be 1984 except he'd think it was a Very Good Book of Ideas for himself. In a functional society someone like this would be ignored but instead the idea may gain traction in Congress.

Discuss.

@Hayabusa Rider,

Study: Google Pushes Liberal News in Top 5 Search Suggestions
Across the four searches, fourteen news organizations ranked in the top five: CNN, Politico, Fortune, The Chicago Tribune, Business Insider, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, CNBC, ABC, Time, The Los Angeles Times, HuffPost, and USA Today. … Together, these outlets made up 79% of the total number of news recommendations suggested to searchers. The number of recommendations was unevenly distributed among these organizations as well, with the five most prominent outlets—The New York Times, CNN, Politico, The Washington Post and HuffPost—making up half (49%) of the 1,653 total recommended links.

So is Don a special kind of crazy, or is he simply getting his news from conservative sources who claim to know things that you do not? Mind you, Trump's approving ratings would suggest a solid 40% of the nation follows those same news sources. Does it count as crazy if some 50-60 million voters agree?

Still crazy. Just because ergot poisoning caused a lot of people to act crazy in the middle ages doesn't mean it wasn't crazy. Our right wing has accomplished the same thing with propaganda.

There's nothing normal about Trump as President at all. It's the product of decades of mind rot that got away from the GOP leadership. It's not like nobody tried to warn 'em, either.

Argumentum ad populum. A popular idea isn't correct or sane because you get a great number of people to believe in it.

Young Earth Creationism claims far greater numbers and I'd argue that they are nuts as a nutter in a nuthouse.

Also, a President that gets his ideas from an entertainment channel rather than his own intelligence people is most certainly fucked in the skull to the degree that he should be declared mentally incompetent.
