Too bad he wasn't watching old "Star Trek" or "Twilight Zone" about the rise of fascism or maybe even reading the dystopian literature of the early and mid twentieth century.

Oh, he read literature about the rise of fascism, alright. He just learned all the wrong lessons from it -- such as how to emulate it. Trump used to keep Hitler's speeches by his bedside.

Well they can't have it.
The ACA was never designed to work, it was designed to destroy the private healthcare system so that a 100% government controlled system would have to be implemented.
All of the goodies were front-loaded and all of the costs were deferred. It was no coincidence that the program's collapse was scheduled for after the 2016 election.
This was very well played by the Democrats. Now the Republicans have to take sommething away. Politcally, it would be best for the GOP to do nothing and let it die on its own. That way they can try to avoid the blame and make the case that something is better than nothing.
The right thing to do would be to govern responsibility and dismantle Obamacare in an ordely fashion. However, they will get killed politically over it.

If it is true that Rex Tillerson wanted war criminal Elliot Abrams to be his Deputy Secretary of State, Tillerson should be fired right away. Who is his second choice? Dick Cheney? Meanwhile, the Dems have some good news and some bad news. The good news is they have elected a replacement for interim DNC Chairwoman Donna Brazile. The bad news is that they had the lying sleaze bag in the position in the first place. The next time you complain about Trump remember that Brazile told Hillary debate questions for her CNN townhall debate with Sanders. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/10/us/politics/trump-wall-21-billion-dollars.html
Wingnuts are a dangerous, anti-American bunch of traitors. In Arizona they want to criminalize legal protests. In Kentucky they are forcing bible study into public schools. They consistently subvert the will of we, the people for their own ends.
In South Dakota the voters passed an initiative to have an independent watchdog keep an eye on politicians because the whole wingnut apparatus is rife with corruption and people are being killed because of it. So wingnuts decided they know better and voted down the independent commission and made it harder for the people to use initiatives and resolutions to have their voices heard.
"The good news is they have elected a replacement for interim DNC Chairwoman Donna Brazile. "
This is actually bad news. Ellison had the vision to lead the Democratic Party back to relevance. Perez is an insider who had his hands all over the failure of 2016. This is a slap in the face of the party's most loyal constituency.
Real Mouth sez even Democrats knew ACA was crashing. Prove it, Homey.

North Korea, Iran, China, Zimbabwe, Uzbekistan, White House press briefings."
As many people have noted, at this point, being invited to a White House press conference means you're not a credible media outlet. Trump only wants liars who will flatter him and help him spread his propaganda.
I don't know what is wrong with people who don't see that democracy is breaking down in this country. Legitimate regimes don't behave like this White House; dictators do.
"being invited to a White House press conference means you're not a credible media outlet."
Eight years of enabling the crimes of the Obama administration by lying and covering up the truth have destroyed the credibility of fake news outlets such as CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, the NYT and the Washington Post.
Donald Trump’s war on the media is a war of liberation to save America from the oligarchs who have destroyed democracy. The same media organizations who began to scream hysterically as Trump eviscerated them in public Feb. 16 are the ones who for 60 years have pushed every anti-citizen, pro-corporatist narrative that furthered the oligarchy's agenda.
Brigade Fifteen is a pathetic bootlicker who wants to defend the six media coporations that control 90% of news content seen by the American people against alternative voices.
Kyle said... "The Democratic Party proved yet again they learned nothing. They chose corporations over the people."
The decrepit, rotting carcas of the Democratic Party just got even rottener. The very people who are responsible for historic, sustained failure have been rewarded instead of penalized. Classic mark of decadence.
Amazing how fast wingnuts trash Obama's recovery as not fast enough growth to suit them. 75 straight months of growth and millions of new jobs and the sheep baaaaa the economy is ruined. Even the wealthy made out like bandits, but wingnuts want only the wealthy to make out and fuck everyone else. Then they repeat talking points how it is all Democrats fault that korporate amerika screws the little guy. Fucking morons, they be.
The Dems picked Hillary supporter Perez for DNC chair over Sanders supporter Ellison. Some people thought that Perez would be Hillary's VP pick. But as Wikileaks revealed, Tim Kaine had been picked a long time ago, apparently for getting Hillary's campaign manager at the time (in her run against Obama), Wasserman Schultz, in to replace him as DNC chair. They never learn.
"Brigade Fifteen is a pathetic bootlicker who wants to defend the six media coporations that control 90% of news content seen by the American people against alternative voices."
The Democrat Party, its Media serfs, and Social Justice Warriors like Brigade Fifteen are outraged because we uppity normals are again presuming to rule ourselves, and their agony is delightful. Less delightful is how, in the process of trying to claw their way back into power, they are incinerating the norms and rules that preserve our political order. That stuff Hillary babbled about honoring the legitimacy of elections? Yeah, no. There’s an invisible asterisk only liberals can see that explains that the norms and rules are void when liberals lose.
We know where the leftists want it to end, with us silenced and subservient forever, toiling to pay taxes for them to redistribute to their clients as they pick at, poke at and torment us. You look at the things Trump stands for and all of them are about lifting the yoke off of us – cutting taxes, slashing regulations, guaranteeing the Second Amendment, protecting our religious liberty, and safeguarding us from terrorists and illegals. But everything liberals want, everything Hillary ran on, is about clamping the yoke ever tighter around our necks – raising taxes, issuing more regulations, disarming us, limiting our religious freedom, and putting us at risk from terrorists and alien criminals. The whole leftist platform is about putting us down and keeping us down.
They are certainly not going to risk us ever being able to repeat November’s rejection. California’s decline lays out their tyrannical road map. When the Democrats took power here, they “reformed” the election laws to lock-in their party, co-opted the “nonpartisan” redistricting process, and changed the ballot initiative system to make sure we will never see another unapproved proposition. They ensured there is no way to stop illegal aliens from voting because they want illegal aliens voting.
Do you think Hillary Clinton or whatever aspiring Hugo Chavez they offer up next is going to protect us from violent leftist thugs, or encourage them? Remember how Obama weaponized agencies like the IRS against conservatives? Multiply that by a thousand. Think about the “hate speech” rules used to silence conservatives on campus; imagine them as federal law. That’s coming, just like in Europe – it’s now a crime in France to speak out against abortion. Do you imagine leftists don’t dream of doing that? No, once back in power they will ensure we will never be able to challenge their rule. One man (or woman or other), one vote, one more time, then never again.
This massive resistance campaign against everything Donald Trump has done and a lot he hasn’t done is one way for them to accomplish this. The media’s liberal advocacy and tsunami of fake news is another; the press is now just one more partisan political player campaigning to restore the establishment to power. These same liars who fantasize about Trump silencing critics will cheer as the next Democrat commandante does it for real. Remember how they said nothing when Democrats voted to repeal the First Amendment so Congress could control speech during elections?
The left’s combination of evil and stupidity is the driver straightforward from here. With the grim understanding that they hate us, we need to accept that there may be no easy return to peaceful coexistence. Our goal in electing Donald Trump was to remove the left’s hand from our throat, not to put our hand around blue peoples’ collective windpipe. We don’t care how they live their lives, but leftists care very much how we live ours. Their goal is to lock both hands around our throat and squeeze until we submit to leftist tyranny or die.
We must defeat their ideas now or we will have to fight for our lives.
GTFOH! Moronic conservatives like to paint themselves as "regular" or "normal" and they somehow how a god given mandate to rule when in reality they are spoiled assholes who selfishly want to control others. Notice the gloating from this asshole Kurt. Hillary won the fucking popular vote and liberals have just as much right to live the way they want without being harassed by jackasses. Fuck you Kurt we are as "normal" as anyone one of you but you are just too fucking arrogant to admit it. Go back to whatever hate site you crawled from with your delusions of being some superior group. BTW go suck Putin's dick as your type seems to be doing so much of lately.
KS-do you morons ever read the shit you people write? Do you pay any attention to what your fearless dictator is doing? Do you not pay any attention to what he sez and the many times surrogates have to walk him back from the brink?
Of course you don't or you wouldn't write such stoopid pap.
Yeah Shitlicker, the right has all of the good ideas. Get rid of the EPA, privatize social security, get rid of regulations on wall street and banks. Just fucking geniuses. Lemme guess, you have an IQ of 150 too right? Conservatives have no fucking clue as to how to govern which is why they have to keep Obamacare because they have no idea of how to replace it.
Fauknee kristians-aka wingnuts have gotten their homosexuality and gospel just backwards. Instead of going into their closet and praying to god-the only one who needs to hear them, they bray like jackasses in public and hide their homosexual shame in their closets. Wingnuts never get anything right.
Obamacare gets more popular with Dems and Independents. The pansy party of Depends-wingnuts- not so much. It has gotten more popular since Krus....Putin was appointed US potus.
Some of us don't want you meth/testosterone fueled gunslingers waltzing around in public stoned and armed to the teeth. Some of us don't want to be dick-tated to which bathroom we use. Most of us don't want to be hassled walking down the street because your pastey white hides don't match the color of our skin. Most of us would prefer not to be hassled by cops and certainly prefer not to be shot for being black. Most of us don't want to be forced to put up with the religion you claim to be but ignore in your daily lives. Most of us don't feel we need to be treated as second class citizens and having to prove we are Americans in our own country. Most of the females would prefer wingnuts mind their own business and not dick-tate who shall be forced to be a baby incubating machine against their will.
Obamacare would have survived natural disasters but not dedicated enemies like the entire wingnut cabal of wingnuts. ACA wasn't perfect, but it didn't need much to improve it. Wingnuts would not even give in that much. They wanted it dead from the outset because it was part of Obama's legacy which wingnuts stated early on he wasn't going to be allowed to have.
However, the wingnuts may have backed themselves into a tight corner because their constituents don't want to lose their insurance. And wingnut replacement plans guarantee millions will lose healthcare. And it will be far more costly because wingnuts can't govern and they can't do math.

You are so completely unaware of yourself you just proved the whole point of liberals wanting to control everyone else's lives.
Keith Ellison is deputy DNC chair, so not only does he get to have a hand in running the party, he doesn't have to give up his seat in congress. DNC chair isn't that important of a thing, and all of the people who want to use it as a chance to re-litigate the primary can go fuck themselves. In the eye. With a sheep.
If you think folks are making too big of a deal of Trump's authoritarian leanings, read this:
"Which is why his 3.5% growth assumptions in his budget outline are bullshit."
3.5% per-capita wouldn't be difficult, just get rid of the least productive capitas. Like low-skilled immigrants.
"he's trying to deport the pool of workers he would need for such outside-the-box performance."
The economy exists to serve the nation, not the other way around. Throwing out a million fake refugees (19 out of 20), their children and chain-migrated families would remove a huge burden from our welfare systems. Government expenditures would sink like a stone and per-capita productivity and wealth for Americans would go up.
Apple/Foxconn is talking about building a 100% automated iPhone factory in the US. That's economic growth, and it would be built by American workers.
"I thought we agreed"
See, that's your problem. You can't comprehend simple written denials and refusals. Maybe if I just said "fuck yourself" you'd get it, but I'm not normally that crude.
"The Democrat's Flight From Black continues: Tom Perez elected DNC chairman."
Even the DNC is having to admit that we've passed Peak Negro.
"Wingnuts are a dangerous, anti-American bunch of traitors."
What he actually said was “You don’t have an obligation to obey a government that considers you to be less than human", but even at the time Cibil Rites, employment and education law considered Black people to be MORE than human so he was talking utter bullshit.
I'm fine with Ellison and all other Africoon-Americans refusing to obey the laws of the federal, state and local governments of the US. They are free to do that from Liberia.
"Some of us don't want you meth/testosterone fueled gunslingers waltzing around in public stoned and armed to the teeth."
But when we stop & frisk on the streets of Chimpcongo to stop that, you yell "rayciss". Make up your mind. Oh, wait... you don't have one, just a bunch of knee-jerk reflexes and demands that the rules which civilization requires to run be suspended for you, and you alone.
"Some of us don't want to be dick-tated to which bathroom we use."
The rest of us don't want people with dicks in bathrooms with little girls, because it's inevitable that child-molesters will claim to be transgender if it lets them get access to them.
"Most of us don't want to be hassled walking down the street because your pastey white hides don't match the color of our skin."
You wouldn't get hassled or even looked at funny for your skin color if you just stayed among your own hue. So why do you want to be among White people anyway?
Oh, right. White areas tend not to have drive-by shootings, gang beatings of people who are from the wrong camp or neighborhood, burglaries, robberies, rapes, stabbings, shootings and everything else that makes Blackistan a living hell. They don't have this because White people abhor such behavior and turn the police loose on anyone who commits it.
You, OTOH, cry "rayciss" and say there are too many Blacks in jail if anyone dares to try to crack down on such mayhem. Then you wonder why you have so much mayhem. Failing to grasp the simple connection proves that you are abysmally stupid.
Nobody cares about your skin color per se. What they care about is the social pathologies you carry and the personal danger you pose to everyone around you. The fact that you're neatly color-coded for easy identification is a handy shortcut.
If you don't like that, behave yourselves for a couple generations and get rid of the reputation. You have nothing to lose except everything holding you back, but you'd rather make excuses.
Hey James, why don't you and your trailer trash ilk behave yourselves for a while? Stop ODing on heroin, smoking meth and having sex with nuclear family members. Also you need to stop calling yourself Bold as you have done nothing to deserve that name. Remember, you are now James Bitch. Now as the rest of us negroes you debase everyday go to great careers and lives you can just wallow in your misery as you collect welfare and father inbred children.
"What he actually said was “You don’t have an obligation to obey a government that considers you to be less than human", but even at the time Cibil Rites, employment and education law considered Black people to be MORE than human so he was talking utter bullshit."
Preach it James. These fuckbones don't realize they are the favored ones.
Don't believe what James writes, he steals information from 10th grade term papers that he finds online. He is a useful idiot though, he is proof positive that white supremacy is a myth.
Glad we don't have to hear anymore of James' stories about struggling with simple math problems. Can't you just imagine him as a big headed homeschooled inbred trying to fugure out 2+2? And his ass thinks he's superior to someone. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Obama didn't force any nuns to get birth control. They had to provide that option on insurance policies, but, they had the option of filling out a single page government form and they could have been exempt. They chose to sue and claim filling out a single page form was too much of a burden and they found a court that agreed with them.
Funny how no matter how many hurdles wingnuts throw in front od poor women seeking abortions, wingnut courts never see that as burdensome for the poors.
Correction for above post- Nuns were already exempt by law from having to provide contraceptive insurance. Religious non-profits were the ones required to fill out the "Accomadation" form or send a letter to the government stating reasons for exemption.
How come none of you moron wingnuts aren't bragging about how Drumpf lowered the deficit by 12 billion dollars in his first month and he didn't have to do a thing to make it happen?
You didn't know about it? Or did it finally dawn on your stoopid selves that Drumpf is full of shit and has no idea what he is doing?

ReplyDeleteIn South Dakota the voters passed an initiative to have an independent watchdog keep an eye on politicians because the whole wingnut apparatus is rife with corruption and people are being killed because of it. So wingnuts decided they know better and voted down the independent commission and made it harder for the people to use initiatives and resolutions to have their voices heard.
"The good news is they have elected a replacement for interim DNC Chairwoman Donna Brazile. "
ReplyDeleteThis is actually bad news. Ellison had the vision to lead the Democratic Party back to relevance. Perez is an insider who had his hands all over the failure of 2016. This is a slap in the face of the party's most loyal constituency.
Real Mouth sez even Democrats knew ACA was crashing. Prove it, Homey.
ReplyDeleteThe next time you complain about Trump remember that Brazile told Hillary debate questions for her CNN townhall debate with Sanders
WTF? Is this even a thing? What does a townhall debate have to do with the orange shitgibbon, pathological lying, misogynist, narcisist, racist, homophobic piece of shit Drumpf? I believe this is the world's longest streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch ever.

As many people have noted, at this point, being invited to a White House press conference means you're not a credible media outlet. Trump only wants liars who will flatter him and help him spread his propaganda.
I don't know what is wrong with people who don't see that democracy is breaking down in this country. Legitimate regimes don't behave like this White House; dictators do.
The Democratic Party proved yet again they learned nothing. They chose corporations over the people.

Wingnuts can be funny as hell if they weren't determined to hurt so many poor, elderly and handicapped.
Trump is trying to drag America back to the brutal primitivity of the mid 2010's when men couldn't use the same bathrooms as women!
ReplyDelete"being invited to a White House press conference means you're not a credible media outlet."
ReplyDeleteEight years of enabling the crimes of the Obama administration by lying and covering up the truth have destroyed the credibility of fake news outlets such as CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, the NYT and the Washington Post.
Donald Trump’s war on the media is a war of liberation to save America from the oligarchs who have destroyed democracy. The same media organizations who began to scream hysterically as Trump eviscerated them in public Feb. 16 are the ones who for 60 years have pushed every anti-citizen, pro-corporatist narrative that furthered the oligarchy's agenda.
Brigade Fifteen is a pathetic bootlicker who wants to defend the six media coporations that control 90% of news content seen by the American people against alternative voices.
Fuck them all.

ReplyDeleteFor the J Burtons of the world.
Amazing how fast wingnuts trash Obama's recovery as not fast enough growth to suit them. 75 straight months of growth and millions of new jobs and the sheep baaaaa the economy is ruined. Even the wealthy made out like bandits, but wingnuts want only the wealthy to make out and fuck everyone else. Then they repeat talking points how it is all Democrats fault that korporate amerika screws the little guy. Fucking morons, they be.
Keith Ellison was defeated by a billionaire-led innuendo campaign slurring him as an anti-semite. That's the Democratic Party for you.
ReplyDelete"Even the wealthy made out like bandits"
ReplyDeleteCorrection: Only the wealthy made out like bandits.
The Dems picked Hillary supporter Perez for DNC chair over Sanders supporter Ellison. Some people thought that Perez would be Hillary's VP pick. But as Wikileaks revealed, Tim Kaine had been picked a long time ago, apparently for getting Hillary's campaign manager at the time (in her run against Obama), Wasserman Schultz, in to replace him as DNC chair. They never learn.
ReplyDelete"Brigade Fifteen is a pathetic bootlicker who wants to defend the six media coporations that control 90% of news content seen by the American people against alternative voices."
ReplyDeleteThe Democrat Party, its Media serfs, and Social Justice Warriors like Brigade Fifteen are outraged because we uppity normals are again presuming to rule ourselves, and their agony is delightful. Less delightful is how, in the process of trying to claw their way back into power, they are incinerating the norms and rules that preserve our political order. That stuff Hillary babbled about honoring the legitimacy of elections? Yeah, no. There’s an invisible asterisk only liberals can see that explains that the norms and rules are void when liberals lose.
We know where the leftists want it to end, with us silenced and subservient forever, toiling to pay taxes for them to redistribute to their clients as they pick at, poke at and torment us. You look at the things Trump stands for and all of them are about lifting the yoke off of us – cutting taxes, slashing regulations, guaranteeing the Second Amendment, protecting our religious liberty, and safeguarding us from terrorists and illegals. But everything liberals want, everything Hillary ran on, is about clamping the yoke ever tighter around our necks – raising taxes, issuing more regulations, disarming us, limiting our religious freedom, and putting us at risk from terrorists and alien criminals. The whole leftist platform is about putting us down and keeping us down.
They are certainly not going to risk us ever being able to repeat November’s rejection. California’s decline lays out their tyrannical road map. When the Democrats took power here, they “reformed” the election laws to lock-in their party, co-opted the “nonpartisan” redistricting process, and changed the ballot initiative system to make sure we will never see another unapproved proposition. They ensured there is no way to stop illegal aliens from voting because they want illegal aliens voting.
Do you think Hillary Clinton or whatever aspiring Hugo Chavez they offer up next is going to protect us from violent leftist thugs, or encourage them? Remember how Obama weaponized agencies like the IRS against conservatives? Multiply that by a thousand. Think about the “hate speech” rules used to silence conservatives on campus; imagine them as federal law. That’s coming, just like in Europe – it’s now a crime in France to speak out against abortion. Do you imagine leftists don’t dream of doing that? No, once back in power they will ensure we will never be able to challenge their rule. One man (or woman or other), one vote, one more time, then never again.
This massive resistance campaign against everything Donald Trump has done and a lot he hasn’t done is one way for them to accomplish this. The media’s liberal advocacy and tsunami of fake news is another; the press is now just one more partisan political player campaigning to restore the establishment to power. These same liars who fantasize about Trump silencing critics will cheer as the next Democrat commandante does it for real. Remember how they said nothing when Democrats voted to repeal the First Amendment so Congress could control speech during elections?
The left’s combination of evil and stupidity is the driver straightforward from here. With the grim understanding that they hate us, we need to accept that there may be no easy return to peaceful coexistence. Our goal in electing Donald Trump was to remove the left’s hand from our throat, not to put our hand around blue peoples’ collective windpipe. We don’t care how they live their lives, but leftists care very much how we live ours. Their goal is to lock both hands around our throat and squeeze until we submit to leftist tyranny or die.
We must defeat their ideas now or we will have to fight for our lives.
GTFOH! Moronic conservatives like to paint themselves as "regular" or "normal" and they somehow how a god given mandate to rule when in reality they are spoiled assholes who selfishly want to control others. Notice the gloating from this asshole Kurt. Hillary won the fucking popular vote and liberals have just as much right to live the way they want without being harassed by jackasses. Fuck you Kurt we are as "normal" as anyone one of you but you are just too fucking arrogant to admit it. Go back to whatever hate site you crawled from with your delusions of being some superior group. BTW go suck Putin's dick as your type seems to be doing so much of lately.
ReplyDeleteKS-do you morons ever read the shit you people write? Do you pay any attention to what your fearless dictator is doing? Do you not pay any attention to what he sez and the many times surrogates have to walk him back from the brink?
ReplyDeleteOf course you don't or you wouldn't write such stoopid pap.

Lemme guess, you have an IQ of 150 too right? Conservatives have no fucking clue as to how to govern which is why they have to keep Obamacare because they have no idea of how to replace it.
ReplyDeleteFauknee kristians-aka wingnuts have gotten their homosexuality and gospel just backwards. Instead of going into their closet and praying to god-the only one who needs to hear them, they bray like jackasses in public and hide their homosexual shame in their closets.

ReplyDeleteObamacare would have survived natural disasters but not dedicated enemies like the entire wingnut cabal of wingnuts. ACA wasn't perfect, but it didn't need much to improve it. Wingnuts would not even give in that much. They wanted it dead from the outset because it was part of Obama's legacy which wingnuts stated early on he wasn't going to be allowed to have.
ReplyDeleteHowever, the wingnuts may have backed themselves into a tight corner because their constituents don't want to lose their insurance. And wingnut replacement plans guarantee millions will lose healthcare. And it will be far more costly because wingnuts can't govern and they can't do math.

Pretty hard to attend a party full of people you've officially told to go to hell.
I'm actually surprised he hasn't been formally disinvited from the other end.
Keith Ellison is deputy DNC chair, so not only does he get to have a hand in running the party, he doesn't have to give up his seat in congress. DNC chair isn't that important of a thing, and all of the people who want to use it as a chance to re-litigate the primary can go fuck themselves. In the eye. With a sheep.
ReplyDeleteIf you think folks are making too big of a deal of Trump's authoritarian leanings, read this:

"Which is why his 3.5% growth assumptions in his budget outline are bullshit."
ReplyDelete3.5% per-capita wouldn't be difficult, just get rid of the least productive capitas. Like low-skilled immigrants.
"he's trying to deport the pool of workers he would need for such outside-the-box performance."
The economy exists to serve the nation, not the other way around. Throwing out a million fake refugees (19 out of 20), their children and chain-migrated families would remove a huge burden from our welfare systems. Government expenditures would sink like a stone and per-capita productivity and wealth for Americans would go up.
Apple/Foxconn is talking about building a 100% automated iPhone factory in the US. That's economic growth, and it would be built by American workers.
"I thought we agreed"
See, that's your problem. You can't comprehend simple written denials and refusals. Maybe if I just said "fuck yourself" you'd get it, but I'm not normally that crude.
"The Democrat's Flight From Black continues: Tom Perez elected DNC chairman."
Even the DNC is having to admit that we've passed Peak Negro.
"Wingnuts are a dangerous, anti-American bunch of traitors."
Keith Ellison: Black people don't have an obligation to obey the government.
What he actually said was “You don’t have an obligation to obey a government that considers you to be less than human", but even at the time Cibil Rites, employment and education law considered Black people to be MORE than human so he was talking utter bullshit.
I'm fine with Ellison and all other Africoon-Americans refusing to obey the laws of the federal, state and local governments of the US. They are free to do that from Liberia.
"Some of us don't want you meth/testosterone fueled gunslingers waltzing around in public stoned and armed to the teeth."
ReplyDeleteBut when we stop & frisk on the streets of Chimpcongo to stop that, you yell "rayciss". Make up your mind. Oh, wait... you don't have one, just a bunch of knee-jerk reflexes and demands that the rules which civilization requires to run be suspended for you, and you alone.
"Some of us don't want to be dick-tated to which bathroom we use."
The rest of us don't want people with dicks in bathrooms with little girls, because it's inevitable that child-molesters will claim to be transgender if it lets them get access to them.
"Most of us don't want to be hassled walking down the street because your pastey white hides don't match the color of our skin."
You wouldn't get hassled or even looked at funny for your skin color if you just stayed among your own hue. So why do you want to be among White people anyway?
Oh, right. White areas tend not to have drive-by shootings, gang beatings of people who are from the wrong camp or neighborhood, burglaries, robberies, rapes, stabbings, shootings and everything else that makes Blackistan a living hell. They don't have this because White people abhor such behavior and turn the police loose on anyone who commits it.
You, OTOH, cry "rayciss" and say there are too many Blacks in jail if anyone dares to try to crack down on such mayhem. Then you wonder why you have so much mayhem. Failing to grasp the simple connection proves that you are abysmally stupid.
Nobody cares about your skin color per se. What they care about is the social pathologies you carry and the personal danger you pose to everyone around you. The fact that you're neatly color-coded for easy identification is a handy shortcut.
If you don't like that, behave yourselves for a couple generations and get rid of the reputation. You have nothing to lose except everything holding you back, but you'd rather make excuses.
Hey James, why don't you and your trailer trash ilk behave yourselves for a while? Stop ODing on heroin, smoking meth and having sex with nuclear family members. Also you need to stop calling yourself Bold as you have done nothing to deserve that name. Remember, you are now James Bitch.

ReplyDeleteBwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Obama didn't force any nuns to get birth control. They had to provide that option on insurance policies, but, they had the option of filling out a single page government form and they could have been exempt. They chose to sue and claim filling out a single page form was too much of a burden and they found a court that agreed with them.
ReplyDeleteFunny how no matter how many hurdles wingnuts throw in front od poor women seeking abortions, wingnut courts never see that as burdensome for the poors.
Correction for above post- Nuns were already exempt by law from having to provide contraceptive insurance. Religious non-profits were the ones required to fill out the "Accomadation" form or send a letter to the government stating reasons for exemption.
ReplyDeleteHow come none of you moron wingnuts aren't bragging about how Drumpf lowered the deficit by 12 billion dollars in his first month and he didn't have to do a thing to make it happen?
