Conservatives are having a meltdown right now over the Super Bowl commercials

I love it. They are freaking out about all of the pro-diversity, pro-LGBT, and pro-refugee commercials. The one that is really making them flip out if the Lumbar 84 one that showed DREAMers crossing the border into America

This Super Bowl is amazing!!!

Not all non-Trump votes were cast for Hillary.

Granted, the Hillary votes were the only ones that really mattered when it came to who won the general election, but the fact remains that 11 million more people voted for Trump to go away then voted for him to go to the White House.

I liked the Budweiser commercial, mainly because it reminds people of a time when whites discriminated against each other, but also because rednecks love Bud.

Right now I am having a small meltdown of my own. Just reading that Trump is furious that no-one explained to him what he was signing when he signed the executive order making Bannon a part of the security council.
First of all - I thought executive orders came from the prez, secondly' I am now convinced that Trump cannot read.
What kind of peril do we face if Bannon is now acting president. Trump is a fool, Bannon is a dangerous maniac.

Mon Feb 6, 2017, 05:49 PM

When we must allow into our midst those who find the very idea of kindness and decency repulsive.

Worse, we allow them power.

We (that is our whole society and in fact the whole world) need to start thinking about lines that should never be crossed.

The 1st Amendment is important, yes, but we can't let terrible things constantly be done to others just because someone has an opinion.

Hitler had an opinion about the Jews.
