Sadly, other people think she is smart. So fucking vapid, and completely not understanding the concepts she is arguing against.
They do?

Hearing Miley Cyrus' "witticism" about Bernie Sanders supporters wanting to bankrupt every business while that guy cackled like Ernest Angley convinces me that there is no hope.
I can't speak to this particluar Cyrus comment, but it's probably important to recall that we were all fucking idiots back in the day, too.

I should have been more clear - that pundit's voice reminded me of Miley Cyrus as "Hannah Montana."

As far as I know, the real Ms. Cyrus' opinions on the 2020 Democratic contenders are well informed and coherent.

Koch brothers to intervene in 2020 GOP primaries to unseat Trump

Yeah, because we live in a democracy and George Soros is the evil mastermind.

Do the Kochs realize that doing this will only help Trump? No one is going to beat him in a primary (I strongly agree with the take below) and it’ll just bolster his fraudulent “outsider” image.

Yup. Gotta love how the House Dems are up in arms about criticism of a far-right leader who repeatedly bashed Obama, vociferously cheered Trump’s election, and has been Trump’s biggest supporter of any other global head of state.

I don’t think there would be a much bigger trap question right now than asking conservatives which comments by Omar offended them.

There is so much bad shit going on and media manipulating nonsense, that kidnapping children and putting them in cages doesn't get enough attention. I suppose there is too much to get upset about, but this is the scandal that drives me crazy.

I flip my shit over day to day nonsense at work for things like "You have to take the optional safety survey so that the unit gets credit for it. Sure it says optional, but that's not the point."

I'd be blowing a gasket daily with things like "inhumane treatment of people" if I were in Congress.

This is really a great example of what a lot of you guys rail about in terms of why we lose to the GOP so frequently. Absolutely outrageous that so many are calling her comments anti-Semitic. Criticizing Israel, specifically Netenyahu's Israel, is absolutely warranted and the knee-jerk reactions of so many in this country is dumbfounding.

Especially when much of the criticism is coming from Republicans who looked the other way when their colleagues were aligning themselves with people who call themselves Nazis.
