Your mistake was the attempt to engage him in thoughtful discussion surrounding politics. There are some things he can/will genuinely discuss, his remarks to cajun on volunteering were accurate and well spoken. But once politics enter the discussion his eyes glaze over and he becomes a LOL GOP bot. It just isn't worth the cyber ink.

Why do you find that funny? You have to admit that there is an alarming pattern of abuse around this WH.

A former top aide to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) accused President Trump’s White House of protecting abusers Thursday after former staff secretary Rob Porter resigned over domestic abuse allegations.
“The bottom line of this is that they protected an abuser,” Amanda Carpenter said on CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper.” “And guess what is a job qualification to work in this White House? It’s to protect someone who talked favorably about sexual assault on the 'Access Hollywood' tape.”
“There is a pattern of behavior,” Carpenter continued. “They kept Corey Lewandowski on staff as a campaign manager after he bruised a reporter. This is the same president who laughed along with Howard Stern as he says disgusting things about his daughter. … They protect abusers; there’s no way of getting around it.”
“If you tolerate people who do this to the people they save they love, what will they do to the people they don’t know?”

Roger Ailes, Bill O'Reilly, Roy Moore, Rob Porter. Public praise and support, no acknowledgement of credible accusers...call it a pattern or don't, but there's certainly a common theme there.

Another White House Staffer Resigns Over Domestic Abuse Allegations.
If it's not a pattern, perhaps it's a prerequisite. At this rate there's not gonna be anyone left.
Like Amanda Carpenter says, protecting abusers "is a job qualification of this White House."

Much like Trump turning a blind eye to these assholes, 57 similarly does the same for HRC...
the pattern seems to be the horrifying disease of extreme partisanship

I really don't see how it's controversial to suggest Trump has a tendency to support people that are probably guilty of the things they'd been accused of, and that it fits in with his fetish for loyalty. That need for loyalty, while maybe a positive in some contexts, is one of the uglier parts of his presidency for me and has led to many of the issues he's run into.

This is a clear pattern whether some here like it or not and Donald Trump, per his own words and public actions, is as guilty of it as anyone and deserves to be held accountable like anyone else.
Kelly said to have offered to resign. The White House denies everything. I think Kelly issued that statement about Rob Porter being "a man of true integrity and honor" knowing it would backfire tremendously. He had to. He wants out. Another rat abandoning the ship.
