It's like the movie Shallow Hal. People on the right don't recognize or even comprehend reality. They just create an alternate one in their low capacity minds. I'm sure when you watched that rambling, unhinged press conference, you thought you were watching the Gettysburg Address.

This is a pretty good example of confirmation bias People who don't like trump saw what they wanted to see. People who like him saw what they wanted to see. It's entirely subjective, since it's a matter of opinion as to how well, or poorly, he performed

I dont think he did anything wrong. If anything, he did something right.
Were becoming a drug-infested nation. Drugs are becoming cheaper than candy bars. We are not going to let it happen any longer.
I was given that information; I dont know.
Well, the leaks are real. Youre the one that wrote about them and reported them. I mean the leaks are real. You know what they said. You saw it and the leaks are absolutely real. The news is fake because so much of the news is fake.

In talking to the Russians, he did do something right. How is that unhinged?

Our nation isn't drug infested? A kid can't get a prescription drug pill for a dollar which is less than a candy bar in a convenience store?

Honesty in a press conference must seem really weird after eight years of Obama.

The leaks that Flynn talked to the Russians were real. The idea that there was something illegal about him talking to the Russians is fake. You would see that in context but "yahoo news" doesn't devote much time to context.
