Apparently [Sean Hannity is feeling the butthurt](https://www.mediamatters.org/video/2017/06/28/sean-hannity-furious-people-are-swiping-left-trump-supporters-tinder/217092) because there are people on Tinder who don’t want to date Trump voters. [QUOTE=Sean Hannity] people will ask straight up do you vote for or do you support Trump. And if you did boom, that’s it…You’re off. Trump voters please swipe left and go to your room and think about what you have done on Tinder. I mean where is this hatred coming from? [/QUOTE] People don’t want to date people whose values are radically different from their own. Who knew? But apparently that has poor Hannity in a lather, when it’s his kind being rejected. ---

As I said elsewhere, I could not date someone who was an avid consumer of Fox News just because of their overwhelming levels of bullshit. In the January 2015 review of Fox News, only 10% of their news was rated ‘True’, with a solid 60% ‘Mostly False, False or Pants on Fire’. What kind of idiot considers that a source of truth? ---

Some time ago I went on a couple of dates with a woman who wrote for Newsmax. It probably would never have worked out (and she knew it too), but I didn’t want to just rule it out! Now, no way (if I wasn’t married, of course). ---

Oh wow, that made no sense. I meant, the kind that is _saying_ what he wants to hear. ---

I understood you as saying the person was only listening to what they wanted to hear. Made sense to me. ---

Gosh, not like there are Conservatives out there who would freely admit they could never date someone who voted for Obama or Hillary. :rolleyes: ---

These days, Fucks News is just one of many, unfortunately. Just yesterday I saw a car with two bumperstickers… _“InfoWars”_ and _“9-11 was an inside job”_ What. The. Fuck. ---

Who would believe that a fine, upstanding man like GeeDubya would lead an administration that lied us into an ruinously expensive and futile war? But it was true. So they simply refused to believe that truth. Because it was ridiculous, it couldn’t be true. Not that big a leap to believe something that is both ridiculous and untrue, once you get the hang of it. ---

Who knew? But apparently that has poor Hannity in a lather, when it’s his kind being rejected. I’m reminded of a list I saw years ago on the differences between Democrats and Republicans (Democrats read\* their porn alone at home. Republicans form Decency Leagues and read it in groups.) The one apropos here is: Democrat boys date Democrat girls. Republican boys date Democrat girls, too. They intend to marry a Republican girl but want to have some fun first. \*I _told_ you this was a long time ago. ---

What’s the difference between Republican women and Democrat women? A. Republican women give their heart to Bush.
