The Hegelian Dialectic. Formulated by German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, the Hegelian Dialectic provides that the human mind cannot understand anything unless it can be split into two polar opposites, i.e. the Left/Right. It’s why this nonsense doesn’t matter.
Lionel’s take on Weinergate II and Hillary’s self-inflicted October surprise.
We go to Standing Rock, North Dakota, for an update on how hundreds of police with military equipment raided a resistance camp Thursday that was established by Native American water protectors in the path of the proposed $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline.

In 2014 as he was discussing the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, CNN rodeo clown Don Lemon, reported and reputed to be the stupidest human on television, discussed the chance of something “supernatural” happening and actually asked panelists about the possibility that a black hole was involved.
