(just imagine 4 years of Clinton right now and how their propaganda machine with all the obstruction would've made it look)

Now instead we get the idiot at the top of the church of stupidity right front in the center, and we get to see him naked in his worthlessness, and the emptiness of the far right and the soullessness of the GOP again

A rough few years as a blessing in disguise imo
I do feel this way sometimes, particularly if you take the long view. He's just so incompetent and such a great avatar for the GOP: a stupid, fat, gross cheater who believes in nothing but himself and actively shuns knowledge. It just seems so clear to me that this is a real opportunity to make him the face of the GOP for a generation.

Counters:

1) Real people are going to suffer very hard over the next few years.
2) SCOTUS
3) Nukes and all that comes with that.

Then Trump sends out this witness tampering/intimidating tweet this morning. Then the WH tries to get all the Republicans to cancel today. And now the tweetfest above.

Trump is hiding something TREMENDOUS in the Flynn/Russia story and everyone needs to keep the pressure on (until we push Trump to use WW3 as a deflection of course).
There is no end to the rage I feel for these people.

Trump just reposted all of those tweets on his POTUS account too. THAT is a rarity. One tweet here and there every 2 days maybe, but all of them? CLEARLY SHOOK!

Listen bro, I looked at 'the evidence,' and didn't think that Flynn had done anything wrong; but he did lie to Mike Pence, so I asked Flynn to resign, even though I think he's a great guy.

While 18 days of him gobbling up top security intel is reasonable, did you have to coincidentally wait until right after the story got all public to fire him? Makes you look bad even though you're innocent of everything.

If you want to stop someone from say, stealing, you can go ahead and call him a no good dirty thief. But if you really want him to stop stealing, it might help to first figure out why he steals. Is it because he's hungry? Is it because he feels entitled to things that don't belong to him? Is it because he doesn't know how to acquire what he steals in a legitimate way? Is it because he doesn't have the tools or resources to do so?

Calling him a thief solves nothing. Teaching him how to acquire things in a legitimate way, might. And it might not. A certain percent will always remain incorrigible. But I'm willing to bet that most people can and even want to be rehabilitated. This is what our prison system was supposed to do, but instead, we've turned them into places for pure punishment and vengeance.

I disagree. Calling him a thief raises awareness.

Like the goal isn't to help Nazis see the error of their ways. They're way too ****ing stupid to ever understand. Nothing is happening in their frontal lobes. I think the reason for that is the GOP suppresses education, but I digress.

The goal is to keep other people from becoming Nazis. And also to inspire people to get off the sidelines and start kicking Nazis in the balls. Calling racists racist is an effective way to do that.

You know what makes a lot more sense after today?

POTUS: Do NOT recuse yourself from Russia Jefferson.
AG Sessions: I recuse myself.
POTUS: NOOOO YOU ****ING IDIOT!!

This was not at all what I meant. I don't think politicians are gross as a general rule. I do however believe creating a huge direct monetary incentive to get into politics will expand the pool of gross actors in politics and do little to combat graft, especially when compared with other measures. The revulsion expressed was at the actual phrasing that the "small" six figure salary of politicians creates a "need for graft." I hope any non-crook would be offended by this.

Checks out.
Eta as written, the statement itself is untrue.

Black Lives Matter is a perfect slogan because to America, they don't. That's all black people want, an acknowledgement of our shared humanity.

So no, y'all are being entirely too charitable to the #AllLivesMatter crew. That's not their issue. They aren't concerned BLM is saying other lives don't matter, that's disingenious after the fact.

No, their concern is far more straightforward. They straight up disagree, they don't want black lives to matter, because policy brutality is a ****ing positive to them. BLM, in fact, acts more in accord with the idea "all lives matter" than the actual ****ing pro-police dip****s bitching about how the name hurts their feelings.

Lestat aches for the catharsis of the jackboot of authority on the underclass.

You don't get a ****ing vote here, buddy, you're the opposition. When and if you switch sides you can contribute your input, but from where I'm sitting you got madder over Donald ****ing Sterling losing his NBA franchise than any single goddamn black person losing their ****ing life.


And so no **** you don't want the perpetrators identified. You know you're one of them. That can change, but you have to want to change.

That new twitter banner of trump is quite the epitome of authoritarian white supremacy.
05-08-2017 , 10:05 PM
That banner change. I mean give me a better example of shook from any point in time, in the history of everdom. You're the president guy.

I would argue that people who back #BlueLivesMatter are indicating they think cops not being in jail for murdering people is more important than black people not being murdered

The scary part is that's actually what they like about him! He was just one of 17 chumps until the stars aligned for him when he decided to just speak his mind. IIRC calling Mexicans rapists helped his ****ing poll numbers!

He should've just admitted that he sexually assaulted those women. He probably would've won the popular vote then.

Best dem strategy for 2020 should be to label Trump a secret liberal.

Incredible how they just leave after they asked their crappy questions
05-08-2017 , 10:24 PM
The crazy part for me wasn't the racism--it was the grab them in the pussy talk didn't even phase women. They mostly were "so what?" at least around my realm of the rural midwestern US. I was absolutely stunned b/c I know nothing about women obviously.

So the hearing narrative is Clapper said there's no evidence and that's proof there isn't any, case closed! (he didn't say that, and 2) what?) Trumpers are all over it though from what I can tell and actually do believe cruz crushed yates. This is all very sad what's happened to us.

Trump winning white women 52%-43% is still one of the most surreal things I've ever witnessed.

Those 52% really really really really hate Hillary Clinton. Those people would vote for the guy who killed their family before voting for her. You know this already.
05-08-2017 , 10:43 PM
Not one non-white person in that banner?

It's a bit deeper than that. Jesus, the unborn babies, and conservative controlling fathers or husbands play a big role.
