Not knowing you're thoughts and emotions are controlled by the media is what they want. Another useful sheep, Dollyosis.
Weak ass excuse that doesn't hold water. Unlike your cankles.
The genuinely embarrassing thing for you isn't that you still support a failure of a politician who has openly lied to your face and you just sit there and take it. It's that you have become so invested in defending him and deflecting from facts that you can no longer distinguish between evidence and excuses, between a rebuttal and a distraction, or between being right and desperately needing to believe you're right. A therapist could help you out.
