I get not liking information that doesn't jibe with your perspective, we've all dealt with it. But to put aside real evidence, incontrovertible data/information/proof in an effort to feel comfortable in your bubble...how the fuck can you live like that. Ignorance isn't bliss, it's a tool to support delusional behavior.

Asshats...

same way north korea, USSR, cuba, iran.....and the rest of the closed dictatorships live/lived. you make up what you want to be real, and you don't allow any other information in.
 
(from CPAC, pence talking) “This is not a government of the elites, by the media or for the establishment. What Nov. 8 showed, even if they didn’t listen, is this is still a government of the people, by the people and for the people.”

what the fuck is he talking about. they ARE the elites. they ARE the establishment. they ARE the corporations. this Admin. bears about as much resemblence to "the people" as cheese does to the moon.

WHAT THE FUCK IS HE TALKING ABOUT? :mad::mad::mad:

He's talking about 60 million people who put him into office, and who support this agenda.

dumpster just said... "I'm against the people that make up stories and make up sources. They shouldn't be allowed to use sources unless they use somebody's name. Let their name be out there," Trump said. "Let there be no more sources."

so he's AGAINST himself. he IS the biggest purveyor of fake news and fake statistics in the nation. and doesn't SOURCE any fucking thing.

Ancient history. Trump won. Getting him out of office is the priority for progressives now. The people who voted for him in the general election, which is the only election that matters, are happy with their choice.

that was supposed to be the final general election tally. i grabbed the wrong one.

we'll see how all those people who voted for him feel when they have no health insurance, because the gop doesn't have a f'ng clue what or how to "replace" ACA. many many many people who voted for dumpster are NOT rich and cannot afford all their health care out of pocket.

One of the saddest parts of that graphic is O'Malley's position. The only person I'd put above on that list is Bernie...and I didn't mind Hillary (despite being a conservative Democrat/liberal Republican. Trump and Cruz being so high (in addition to even more horrible fact that Trump won) is still so scary to me.

His whole administration and a terrifying amount of his supporters are basically against the First Amendment. As I've previously stated, it is the literal foundation of our nation. It is the only one that is in its place of importance. But these fuckers will gladly toss it aside to keep their guns and minimize their interactions with the brown people of the world.

I still can't believe how this regressive mindset is so strong in so much of our population. It's frightening. And that Russian Trump flag thing...I don't really have the words...

I'm interested to see how all this deregulation leads to the states doing it themselves. Trump rescinded LGBTQ protections and nearly immediately New York and Connecticut Governors established them in their states. I'm guessing this will only continue.

Common knowledge that isn't helping or helpful. I've never yearned for something to be an alternative fact as much as that.

We really are turning into a variant on Idiocracy...it's just added overt racism, xenophobia, and misogyny to the mix.

Better invest in some Brawndo...it's what plants grave

It's incredibly helpful knowledge. It let's you know what you need to do for yourself, and what strain of activism you'll take part in.

Indeed I did...but it's more like gender-phobia. Their twist on religion is so fucking bent too. For a group that largely claims Christianity they readily throw aside the gospel to suit their feelings.

Just a generally shitty bunch of folks. I liked it better prior to Trump starting his shit when they were too afraid to speak their pathetic little minds.

the only way to get him out now is if he gets caught doing something quite illegal and prosecuted by DOJ.
getting caught alone will not do. this house of reps will never impeach him and the senate would never hold the trial.

and even if he could be kicked out, then we're left with pence, who is far far far more dangerous.

The GOP is using him for his diversion to push through their agenda. Pence is in on that anyway. Trump will finally do something so egregious that the Senate can't hold on any longer. He's got 47 months left. That's plenty of time.
