*They worship authority. Most likely raised in a male dominated, harsh, if not abusive family. Almost all limit-setting was punitive. Victims of abuse learn to “identify with the aggressor,” in order to survive. Not all abused children gow up to be right wing trolls, but most right wing trolls were raised like this.

* They are generally misogynistic and have rigid sex role identities. They never resolved their adolescent confusions about sex and sex roles.

* They overcome strong feelings of insecurity and inadaquacy by feeling superior to those they perceive as weaker than themselves such as women, ethnic and racial minorities, liberals, gays and lesbians, etc.

* They have very low or non existent tolerance for ambiguity. Grey areas in any moral consideration increases anxiety, thus “you are either with us or against us.”

* Trolls like self abuse. They provoke people into saying abusive things to them, which is why they visit sites where they are not wanted and are in a minority.

*Don’t hate trolls, have pity on them.

Kinda left that little tidbit out of your argument..eh?

The lefties are slinging well-deserved mud at corrupt politicians.

The righties are doing nothing in response but mocking the lefties in this thread (except for the townhall poster, whose post includes five blatant mistruths- more on that in my next submission).

The whole thing reminds of some of those family get-togethers of my childhood- angry adults griping about legitimate issues, while in the kitchen the children are all bitching about how stupid and poopy the adults are.

Progressives do best when they just ignore the ignorant, whether in this thread or when planning NOT to debate on Fakes News.

- sorry dude but it has only been since the civil war that this is true—-
they either reported to the secretary of treasury or to no one for 80+ years-

People in the US cannot begin to imagine how much the reputation of their country has
been damaged by all this. Millions outside the US who always looked up to your country
as a long standing beacon of fairness and a defender of the basic rights of man have seen it
being subverted by a cabal of criminals who have no regard for human life or dignity, and
are only interested in furthering the cause of Zion.

I for one, still refuse to condenm the American people for this for I know that ultimately
they will rise and remove these criminals from power and restore their constitutional rights
and a government that will truly represent the interests of all American, but please do it
quick before these mad people plunge us all into an abyss.

Please don’t insult little girls by comparing them to Mr. sosick Hatemonger.

Shane, are you serious?

Nice try but Durbin is my senator and he wasn’t in office then. So you’re down to 4 if those are accurate. So 4 is all you got.
Back to troll-free…3..2..1

Letting them completely disgrace and discredit themselves has been the best thing that’s happened in a long, long time, and it will be a long, long time before America will allow itself to be hypnotized by a cabal of overprivileged pikers such as these.

A person chosen by the president, and serves at his leisure, whose appointment must be confirmed by the Senate.

But Bush’s end run tried to end that. Did Clinton ever try to short-circuit the nomination process by fiat?

seperation of powers are at play here and it is the Democrats that are stepping over the line, as usual.

It’s not the dems who stepped over the line; or did you miss the 94-2 vote revoking Bush’s folly?

Congress has no say, why can’t you be honest enough and admit that this is pure and utterly politically driven, why?

yes, seperation of powers are at play here and it is the Democrats that are stepping over the line, as usual.

A President can appoint and fire US Attorneys at his leisure! it is in the law!

the same law that you claim to know so well. that is what part of being a political appointment means. you and the Democrats going after this are too desperate to destroy this White House and you don’t realize that this is all complete and utter hogwash and it won’t fly in a court of law. This is all going to the judicial branch and you will see how fast it is stopped there.

there is nothing here, but a political driven fishing expedition.

and do you think i care about your insults guy, honestly please. i am sure you know they are just words on a silly little blog. grow up.
