I am driven by my emotions.

"Our opinions generally have emotional rather than intellectual roots, and indeed rationality largely functions as a post hoc justification. Our political opinions, ultimately, are what we feel about the world, not what we think about it. And in turn, our opinions about particular events have a lot to do with how we feel about the world in general. It’s not an exaggeration to say that most people’s views about the kind of things that happen today are extensions of concerns of their own ego. And consequently, invitations to change their minds because new facts emerge, or because old ideas are discredited by new evidence, are in fact a threat to the strength and even survival of that ego."

"But few people, especially those who have received a decent education, want to acknowledge that their views are based on emotion and not reason. They therefore try to argue".

@kajedro : sorry, I knew.

If a message comes with an adorable pre-captivity photo, that image will *always* show a Jew. Most of the Jews mentioned in such messages are not recorded in the online database (https://victims.auschwitz.org/victims). Some are, but usually with incomplete (and sometimes plain wrong) data. You'll not find any feel-sorry pre-captivity photo's in that DB.

IMO it is a horrible disgrace that holocaust victims are being abused for #Hasbara - most boosters and retweeters simply cannot believe that maintainers of a former concentration camp would be that traitorous.

@serge Regressive and inflationary. If your goal were to transfer wealth from the poor to the rich; divide society even further; create unrest among the population — then #tariffs are for you!

Seems like odd things for a US president to want. But totally understandable as policies born in Moscow and implemented here at the hands of #traitors.

Any politician in Canada that is an MP, MLA, party leader, premier and/or cabinet minister MUST pass the CSIS Security Clearance or RESIGN because they are compromised by an enemy state!

FFS, why isn't this already a law?

What orders did Traitors Smith and Moe get from their MAGA-Putin bosses when they just went to the MAGA meetings? How best they can surrender the AB & SK oil network to putin-trump?

Rubio is hiding in the shadows. A St Dept SPOX: vaguely justified this by insisting the program doesn’t serve “America’s interests.” Dept: admitted that this data & evidence: held by a subcontractor.

Why won’t the St Dept allow the contract to continue so its transfer to our European allies can proceed? #Rubio *authority to make this happen—won’t say. #Ukraine wants the return of kidnapped children to be part of any peace talks -harder to accomplish...

@TonyStark these Trump voters believed in a liar and a convicted felon. They voted for a thug and a thief. #stupid #stupidity. They voted for mass deportation and to hate the liberals not the economy. #racists #bigots #RepublicansAreTheProblem. They are #traitors to #democracy. Trump said he is a will be a #Dicktator on day. #dumbvoters
