http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/11/politics/glenn-beck-hillary-clinton-moral-ethical-choice/index.html I put "endorses" in quotations because he isn't actually endorsing her but he IS endorsing her being elected lol. I feel for you Glenn. Can't believe this is where we are.
I feel for him too. I can't vote for Trump and I will not vote for Hillary... Not that my vote will matter in TX but the result will likely be that Hillary is elected and we are going to have to live with that.
For Beck and the usual suspects in fauxtrage-industrial complex, HRC is a godsend for them to keep up the 24-7 hate, preach deliverance, and most importantly, keep getting rich off the rubes by scamming their audience with gold coin schemes and reverse mortgages. They'll be partying like it's 1999
I will say it was strange to listen to a Bloomberg radio interview last week with M. Moore and his anti-particle G. Beck. They sounded identical, talking about the rise of the angry, unhinged right wing and how we need to get back to listening to each other. And yeah (^^), they both benefit from some version of status quo. By the way, Bloomberg radio is pretty hilarious and entertaining, as a "news" channel. Not giving the Grand Cheeto much slack these days, LOL.
I think that just about anyone with any credibility would have to do the same.....and this isn't new. I don't see how someone could call themselves a "conservative" or "someone with a fully functioning brain" and still vote for Trump. I get that some people are just Republicans so they'll support anyone that the party throws out there, but I can't see anyone else in the country voting for Trump.
[QUOTE="B-Bob, post: 10720812, member: 6273" By the way, Bloomberg radio is pretty hilarious and entertaining, as a "news" channel.

Positive or negative, a Trump administration would be a wild card. You couldn't plan for it.
People still care what Glenn Beck thinks? Who does Alex Jones want me to vote for? Or Pat Robertson? Or Oliver Stone? Or Ron Paul?
I feel for David Brooks, Peggy Noonan, Paul Ryan and any other conservative to who informs their political reasoning with either an appreciation for societal and economic diversity or the concrete responsibilities of a government leadership role. I empathize and identify with Beck as a grown adult who cares enough about American history, economics and global conflict to consider everything that can go wrong with a genuinely dysfunctional Executive branch, but "FEMA camps" helped spur this on like all the other fringe goofballs, and with little more of a mandate than maximizing page hits and late afternoon ratings to line his pockets.
I wouldn't mind getting their signal up here, the local NPR station doesn't do BBC overnight or any talk shows after the morning stuff, just classic music and likely because any place with hand-painted "abortion is murder" signs lining the highway does not have the stomach for moderate or leftward commentary.
**** Paul Ryan. He's a warmongering, anti-choice, race-baiting, poor-hating piece of crap - and that was all *before* his flaccid handling of the Trump situation, with his non-committal commitment that places party above country. I get that the Republican party is shattered and broken; but this idea that there are "good" ones because they're not rolling around in the mud with Trump is ludicrous. Ryan, Pence, Kasich - they're a whole different kind of bad. But make no mistake: still bad.
Good or bad they're not going anywhere. They'll probably keep their majority for the same reason Democrats did through McGovern and Mondale.
In 2017 Beck tried to rehab his image and warned against Trump being a danger to democracy... then when his website lacked traffic and he was broke, he decided to jump right back into Trumpland. Proving he stands for absolutely nothing but making money. Trumpers should be real honored to support such a principled man. It actually speaks to how stupid the right wing propagandists think their audience is.
