I was going to tell you about the #ZeroHour demonstration which went on today with all the kiddies, but, it apparently failed so badly
OMG today’s “action” is non-stop hilarity! I noticed their live feed only points at the podium because it sounds like there are about 30 people in the crowd. Thank goodness we’ll finally turn the corner on climate change today!

that no one seems to be covering it. Not MSNBC, not CNN, not even the hyper-Warmist UK Guardian. So, let’s go to Chris Cillizza at CNN
What is ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ — and do you have it?
“Some people HATE the fact that I got along well with President Putin of Russia,” he tweeted. “They would rather go to war than see this. It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome!”
Worried you might have Trump Derangement Syndrome? Wondering where it came from? I’m here to help!
Let’s start with what Trump Derangement Syndrome means.
Urban Dictionary offers up this handy definition: “Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason.”
Anyhow, Chris goes through a bunch of stuff, even how this all started as Bush Derangement Syndrome, and ends with
We no longer live around, work around or pal around with people who think any differently than us. We watch cable news that affirms what we already think. We read ideological “news” sites that tell us how good our side is and how bad the other one is. And on and on and on.
Is it any wonder then that we are increasingly willing to lump those who disagree with us into the “deranged” category? To say that those who don’t share our views are mentally deficient in some way?
What does it say about a President — and about a country — when the standard response to those with whom you disagree is that they must be crazy? Nothing good, for sure.
Here’s the thing: not every Liberal has TDS. But, the amount of insanity emanating from the Democrats, and liberals around the world, is gigantic. And it’s not from the fringes. The thing about palling around? That’s mostly a Leftist thing. Conservatives weren’t threatening to leave the US if Obama was elected. We weren’t hanging Obama in effigy. Sure, we made fun of him. We weren’t apoplectic over every single thing he did. We didn’t loathe the man for who he was, but for his policies.
And, let’s not forget that the Left’s standard response to people with differing views is to call them Nazis, KKKers, racists, etc. And that this, along with TDS, involves the Credentialed media and elected Democrats.
