Michelangelo you are AWESOME... this is so gratifying to listen to. The idiocy of the MAGA Trump supporters is unbelievable. They are so clearly brainwashed by Fox News propaganda. You are so strong and brilliant the way you listen to them, then slap them down. BRAVO! xoxo

Thank you Craig! It's true they are brainwashed. I realize these interactions won't change them but a) there might be some on the borderline who hear this and think okay I don't want to be that; b) it makes us feel good; c) I hope I help others in dealing with people like this in their lives.

Marty thinks the only thing that unifies the left is "hatred for Trump". Has it ever occurred to them that he's widely despised for a good reason>

Marty thinks we should consider the 1993 crime bill and hold Joe Biden's vote against him.

I'd be curious about his thoughts about Donald Trump's bankruptcies, his failed marriages, his advocacy for the death penalty for the Central Park Five (never recanting even after they were cleared), and the million other things he's done poorly, or never taken responsibility for.

Someone even wrote a book about him wrecking the USFL - here's a short summary:

https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a41135/donald-trump-usfl/

Joe Biden has a lifetime record of public service that we can pick over. The crime bill was horrible - I thought that at the time. He was against gay marriage.

But as Michaelangelo points out, people evolve. Politicians evolve. I challenge Marty to tell us one single thing that Trump has evolved on. The guy is still stuck in 1983.

Thank you for dismantling Marty, quite poetically. Marty lives in a "sick and demented reality". As do over a third of the country. It would be quite sad, if it didn't have such deadly consequences.

See you all at 3:00.

p.s: Extra points for calling him a "two bit information whore"....I laughed out loud.

Michael, good for you! Don’t waste your time giving these Trumppetts explanations. At this point, like Matt, you’re not convincing them.

I am so sick of these people, they are not only stupid, they are exhausting. I live with one of these trump cult members and I can't even talk to him anymore, all I can say is "wait for the election". I believe the Dems will keep the House, take the Senate and the White House, when I say that all I hear is, "you thought Hillary would beat trump". To tell the honest truth, I wasn't sure she Hillary was going to beat the orange shit stain and I did say that back in 2016, I wasn't thrilled with Hillary, held my nose and voted for her. I am sure Biden will beat trump, now that people see who trump is and see what he has done to this country, I think the Dems will have record voter turnout, the blacks (who stayed home in 2016) will come out this time, for Biden. My trumper son thinks the black community hates Biden and that he is a racist, not sure where he comes up with this garbage and don't care anymore.

The GOP hasn't done a thing to help their party, they seem to only care about pleasing the fascist pig trump, which is going to cost them. On top of that, McConnell and his cronies want to lower the fed unemployment from $600 a week to $200 a week, which is a HUGE mistake right before an election. The gop is OUT OF TOUCH so bad.

Thank you for the kind words. Life in my home has been very difficult. I grew up in a very political home where we taught to be pro-union and Democratic, and to always be kind to others. I raised my son the same, sadly he was sucked into the trump cult early on. My son will be 24 this week and voted for Obama the 1st election he voted in! We cannot talk politics in my home, my brother tried yesterday with my son and it got real bad when we presented facts. My son, amd now my UAW Democrat voting husband is falling for thr crap that our cities are under attack and burning to the ground. I live w/2 scared white men and its awful. After the disagreement yesterday, and a lot of ugly name calling by my son and husband, my brother left mad and insulted and I am not speaking to my son or husband today. These trump cult people never have the facts, and when you try to talk to them about the truth they get so angry and loud and then call names. People who call names do it because that's all their simple little minds have. I cannot wait for the elections to be over, I want a big "I told you so", I need it bad. I believe the Dems can win it all, and if trump cheats again and wins, the new Den Senate better impeach his rotten ass.

For now, I have my Progress radio and when I am in my car all alone I yell and scream at the trump signs, and flip them off, it feels so good! My car is my haven where I let it all out, I probably look like a nut, but I sure feel better.

Another “Cult Member” praising Dear-leader. Glad he got ass handed to him by Michaelangelo. Trump is a vile monster and so are his followers!

Problem is that this clown is probably all over the Whackosphere bragging about how he owned you. Basking in the upvotes . . .

Why are they always white guys?

I wonder where the “blacks for trump” are? Or any other “<insertgroup> for trump”? I never hear anyone call who ever tries to come at Michelangelo with what could be considered a rational argument. It is fun hearing trumpers get slapped down when they call though! :-)

Jerry Falwell Jr: what an idiot. How stupid to even take a picture like that let alone post it to Instagram. What is he 16 years old? What is it about those evangelicals that they have so many scandals? I grew up in the evangelical church and I saw a shit ton of scandals. You name it I saw it. That’s why I became a liberal Democrat. I just got sick of the same old shit. What’s crazy to me is liberty University prohibits every so-called vice you can think of. Yet Jerry Jr takes a pic like that and posts it. I guess the stupidity will never end with those clowns.
