Trump spoke at CPAC

Trump spoke at a conservative conference for 1 hour and 45 minutes … about himself.

How’s that “conservative”?

He claims to be able to end the Russia Ukraine conflict in one day when he gets elected.
(He said that Mexico would pay for the wall to be built when he was POTUS- it never happened)
He said that he will make NATO Allies contribute more irrespective of the size of each NATO member country.

He probably mentioned other stuff to but none of it was worth remembering.

Jesus, guys. Don't you get tired of being fed bull sh** for each and every meal?

@Graylight It's a dopamine addiction.

@DrWatson I have a dopamine issue, and all of that BS just makes me stomach hurt. Can't they just find something fast to drive?

@Graylight I have a dopamine issue as well. For some people, the pleasure centers of the brain are stimulated by hate.

Long before anyone understood what dopamine was, there was an expression "erotic hatred." It did not imply that hatred was sexual, but rather that the person delighted in hatred in a manner analogous to how people react to sexual stimuli.

@DrWatson You're right, and it's so complex. Dopamine doesn't judge. Pills, booze, horses, women, speed, danger...all the same package to dopamine. I'd be naive to think I haven't benefited from a jolt of that particular vintage, whether it's sparring here or just stirring things up out of boredom.

@Graylight I understand. I'm starting to limit how I participate in political discussions here, partly for that reason.
