gosh I wonder ****ing why

I'll do it for Snyder and I'll do it for you, simplicitus, and for the US of A. But I'm still cringing from Harris' postelection postmortem.

Rearden was in Atlas Shrugged but I don't know if he had a cameo in Fountainhead.

Same difference though and, yes, yes he is.

Talking about Howard Roark (main character of The Fountainhead). I've never heard Roark in any other context until now.

Karl Rove on Fox about Merkel & the trip:

"We've had disagreements with other countries before. These things come and go. Our relationship with NATO is stronger now than it was a year ago, mainly because of Trump saying 'I value our relationship enough to make sure everyone pays their fair share.'"

Reality doesn't seem to set in at Fox News.

Fountainhead was with Gary Cooper. Atlas Shrugged movies were 1-3 and very atrocious.

Oh, lol, the twit I quoted has a Randian name as well.

Hey so uh, the the local Portland GOP is explicitly calling for the Republicans to employ paramilitary security.

Also,
Literal ****ing brownshirts. 2017.

tRump acting like a 4th grader on the world stage.

Unbelievable

Quick, before Fox takes it down. Go to 3:27 and watch Trump defend Putin in 2014. These are the good old days, when Republicans knew Russia was an adversary.

Actually what Merkel said could be more accurately translated as "to rely on" (or "to trust in") than "to depend on".

BREAKING NEWS

MAVERICK Senator John McCain has weighed in the issue of Donald Trump's son-in-law trying to establish clandestine communications with Russian diplomats hostile to US interests!

The concern, it is deep.

I almost posted that there may be a translation issue. But either way, Merkel's comment wasn't "ludicrous" or anything remotely like that. It was a nitty criticism, and at least two bad posts.

So sick McCain will not tolerate this level of slight annoyance.

Given a large eniugh sample the improbable is probable.

Why do you think he was picked to be on the panel? It certainly wasn't for his nuanced and unique take on healthcare.

My thoughts tonight are that a really key part of the GOP strategy is separating out the worries of the well-off liberal (coastal elites or whatnot) from the worries of the working class liberal. Look at how the GOP has savagely taken down labor unions over the last forty years, and what has the mainstream media establishment had to say about it? They weren't worried about losing their benefits at the NYT newsroom while all this was going on. Even now, over at MSNBC the intrigue of the Russia story still takes precedence over the gutting of our healthcare system and continued stripping away of the social safety net, as well as the revamping of the War on Drugs through Jeff Sessions. As long as liberals continue to play into this, the GOP will continue to win. Things will get much worse before they get better.

The next big thing, long-term-wise, is the dismantling of the public academic system. Restrict it to where mostly only people with money can take part in the system, and see how far they can push that. They need a very uneducated electorate in addition to massive voter suppression if they want any kind of prolonged electoral success, and I think that's exactly what they're going to push for.

Will the mainstream media call out the Trump administration for their blatant racism and attacks on civil rights? They know if they do, they will get the normal "civility" attacks from the right and it will be very annoying. Also it doesn't make them look very neutral to say that one party is attacking civil rights!

I was being a bit facetious there. Here are my earlier thoughts on the black trump electorate:

Lost in translation. What she said would normally be translated with "trust/rely" other then depend.

Speaking of civil liberties; Portland's mayor is seeking to disallow a pro Trump rally. All the liberals here okay with that? I have absolutely nothing in common with a Trump supporter or someone like Ann Coulter, but silencing people we don't agree with is not good. It's also un-American. Lastly, it's why we're in this mess in the first place imo.

Are you ****ing kidding me? Are you really this dumb?

Black people and civil rights activists often weren't allowed to protest, and on top of that beaten to a pulp when they did, and you're crying for lily white crybabies.

Silencing opposition has always been the American way. McCarthy did it the commies as well.

What do you consider old? I can give you black males (and couples) in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who voted for Trump. Granted, they're all at least upper middle class, anti-drug (in that they all think illegal Mexicans contribute to this country's drug problem and are for the wall), and are afraid of another 9/11 happening here.

Here's how one black female client put it to me over over lunch while I was picking my jaw up off the floor upon hearing how she's gonna vote for Trump. "I want a man who's successful, decisive, and makes me feel safe and secure".

You think she's an *******?

One last question: You think it takes a bigger ******* to be black and support Trump or a female? What about a Jew or someone disabled?
