I was a bit surprised with the networks coverage of the protest marches. They aired some signs that were fairly obscene.

However, Madonna did get her spiel bleeped quite a bit.

good old Madonna. You can always count on her when you're looking for thoughtful political opinions.

Agreed.

It is weird how people look to singers, actors and reality TV stars for political insight. Anyone who things they are going to get something valuable from the likes of Madona, Matt Damon, or Donald Trump is an idiot.

Quick point of order: do you think fascists aren't racists?

That was really sly there, how you slipped in Trump as a celebrity. As if the entire nation hadn't already decided that he should be our leader.

People that voted for Trump: 62 million

Population of "entire nation": 324 million

Even if your statement wasn't false, it hardly contradicts what I said.

EDIT: Btw, kioshk, I realized after I posted this that you were probably one of those people who voted for Trump. So I did the math for you, 62 million is 19% of the "entire nation".

But there is that rare moment when they really surprise you. e.g. Awhile back I heard Lady Gaga speak. She was very articulate and gave thought out intelligent answers.

even lady gaga can sound smart

well played

She's the smartest mole-woman around. Can I link Bad Romance in this thread or is that type of wacky hijinx verboten here.

Birdman, I think that pussy hat you're wearing is cutting off blood to your brain.

Why does the idea of a pink hat upset you so much?

kioshk fears and despises women. This isn't news.

kioshk hates women almost as much a MB hates the transwomen

I don't hate anyone bar Nazis and coastal liberals bro.

Did you know it costs $2.1 million a soldier per year to fund a soldier in Afghanistan?
The daily cost of the war is $100 million per day.

The current accrued cost of the War in Afghanistan = $750 billion that excludes all of the trailing costs of maintaining veterans post conflict.
This is a greater spend than the Marshall plan even adjusted for inflation.


But, remember you cannot afford universal healthcare or free college education.

I love the ladies, and the ladies love me right back.

In fact, Trump has concluded that not enough is being spent on the military and he intends to increase spending.

We really shouldn't be dividing off into sexes and races anyway. We need to stick together as Americans.

I tell you what, if I see one more meme about how "classy" Obama was, I'll spew.

Highwaymen used to say please and thank you and kiss the hands of ladies, but they still robbed and murdered.

We are talking about a politician whose two great achievements were to expand the reach and income of health insurers and to massively increase wealth inequality.

Also, **** me, Occupy Democrats. How can you combine Occupy with the Democratic Party? And this is the biggest liberal organisation? Someone posted a thing where Melania didn't have her hand on her heart when the anthem was playing. And it was all, blah blah, Fox News would be going off.

Well, so ****ing what? This is what your cause is? Proving you are better than fools who watch Fox? That's not a high bar.

Fox News doesn't matter. We work within a frame where what matters is that Republicans lie. Well, they lie. But that's not what matters. What matters is they lie and win ****ing elections and then they **** minorities hard and shovel money uphill as hard as they can.

Lord isn't totally wrong about the "left", so long as he means Master not Birdman. People who waste their time crying about how Republicans are hypocrites are worthless to progress. People who spend their lives telling each other how much better they are than the "stupid" people who believe Republican propaganda are worthless to progress.

And who's stupid? You think a man who presided over the casualisation of millions of jobs, who betrayed working people at every turn, who colluded with Republicans in austerity, is the new FDR.

The only "classy" memes I've seen in the last week have been about Princess Melania. Ya know, and how its so nice to have an elegant and classy Flotus finally!! Nude model/professional trophy wife of questionable educational and immigrational background HUGE upgrade from Harvard educated lawyer, advocate for children, and role model for women, Michelle Obama.

And the above has totally nothing to do with Princess Melania being white, or like.. whatever

An erect dick always points in the right direction. Melania for Queen.

I'm pretty sure i want to see Kellyanne Conway make a run in 2020 if Trump is too old or something. I just watched her mtp segment and she's going to be great.

I actually attended the march in Washington on Saturday and it was nuts. I'm not sure how much it accomplished. But there were so many people.
