But I do follow along. There's an investigation of the Trump campaign and a number of his closest associates are pleading guilty and/or cooperating. It's great observing American justice in action.

Agree. The sooner we find out how many votes the russians got for Trump the better

Damn you never fail to educate. I didn't even know that's what they are seeking to determine. I only knew they concluded tat the Russians meddled in our election but, per usual, Iz the Genius tells us what else they are looking for. I gotta start taking notes.

What do you think about the FBI people fired, leaving, under investigation?

Makes me happy that we seek a clean and unbiased investigation.
Remember what Sarah Sanders said? "If you're attacking FBI agents because you're under criminal investigation, you're losing."

And just like Nixon, there are still suckers that believe t and N are not crooks.

After seeing the Watergate Hearings and hearing all the evidence, I don't know anyone foolish enough to think Nixon wasn't a crook.
But there are a a few suckers who would not have confirmed Kavanaugh with nothing more than a last minute accusation and vengeful hope...

What a stupid and irrelevant question. I know she wasn't president. I know she wasn't forced out of office. Why would I compare her to a president? Just look at who's been locked up so far and keep watching the findings of wrongdoing.

Are you in first grade? So a question is asked and you wont answer it because it will make you look bad. You guys crack me up. Go back to drinking... you do that better then following questions.
 
Hey kids, who’s in jail? Looks like you guys are freaking out and you just want to talk about Hilary. She must be reallly powerful because she’s all you talk about.
Settle down. Trump already told us that he’s in the clear, remember?
Fun!

I must be drinking, you're right. I thought I just read where Trump's campaign manager is in jail? And his own personal lawyer is going to jail?
That can't be right. That must have said Hillary's lawyer and campaign manager, right? LOL!!!

Yup. I just wanted to hear about how many votes the russians stole to hand the election to Donny T. Otherwise we're just talking about the inferior marketing arm of team Hilz who felt the Bern in 2016.

You have a serious case of A.D.D. Show me were I even brought up Trump. Can you say paranoid? Do yourself a favor and check in to Betty Ford...

Trump's base mindset/cult and the Dunning-Kruger effect

In the past, some prominent psychologists have explained President Donald Trump’s unwavering support by alluding to a well-established psychological phenomenon known as the “Dunning-Kruger effect.” The effect is a type of cognitive bias, where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they don’t have enough knowledge to know they don’t have enough knowledge. Or, stated more harshly, they are “too dumb to know they are dumb.” This simple but loopy concept has been demonstrated dozens of times in well-controlled psychology studies and in a variety of contexts. However, until now, the effect had not been studied in one of the most obvious and important realms—political knowledge.

A new study published in the journal Political Psychology, carried out by the political scientist Ian Anson at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, not only found that the Dunning-Kruger effect applies to politics, it also appears to be exacerbated when partisan identities are made more salient. In other words, those who score low on political knowledge tend to overestimate their expertise even more when greater emphasis is placed on political affiliation.

…

While the results of Anson’s study suggest that being uninformed leads to overconfidence across the political spectrum, studies have shown that Democrats now tend to be generally more educated than Republicans, making the latter more vulnerable to the Dunning-Kruger effect. In fact, a Pew Research Center poll released in March of this year found that 54 percent of college graduates identified as Democrats or leaned Democratic, compared to 39 percent who identified or leaned Republican.

Perhaps this helps explain why Trump supporters seem to be so easily tricked into believing obvious falsehoods when their leader delivers his “alternative facts” sprinkled with language designed to activate partisan identities. Because they lack knowledge but are confident that they do not, they are less likely than others to actually fact-check the claims that the President makes.
