That is why NONE of those investigations against her found any wrongdoing.

The Orange Shitgibnon on the other hand is a dirty, slimy psychopath and evidence of his Russia collusion keeps piling up.

Fuck anyone who said she was the best of two bad choices, or that she was flawed, or that they'd "hold their noses and vote for her". We could have had her, but instead we have him. The nazis would have walked the street if she had been elected too, but she would have handled it completely differently than the shitheel we have now who blames both sides while using KKK dog whistles like "cherish our history" while he does.

They would have protested because they would have been incensed - and scared. Scared because she actually had plans to work against discrimination. Because she had plans to work against the hate. Because she had plans to make people's lives better. And they weren't just promises to give everyone the moon and to part the seas - they were detailed, realistic plans that could be done. And that scared the shit out of a majority of white America, who preferred to vote for Trump, or Johnson, or Stein, or write in Sanders. So fuck white America - anyone who's white who sits down at a Thanksgiving table with their racist relatives without giving a clear message that racism won't be accepted and who are not willing to get up and leave if their relatives/friends/neighbors start talking about how affirmative action is reverse racism, how Mexicans are rapists, how more Black people kill than are killed and other nazi talking points, are aiding and abetting this. If white Americans put family peace above the safety and well-being of Black children in America, they're supporting this. And that makes them as bad as the nazis marching in Charlottesville this weekend.

I read that phrase from old somewhere.

By turncoats, I don't mean Dems, necessarily. I mean anyone who voted for or allowed Trump to win, even by not voting (if it wasn't there fault). This was a critical election.

The point is that she's the only one they've had to grind to the dust because she was flawed. She's the only one they hated for being flawed. They might have thought Kerry and Gore were flawed, but they didn't hate them for it. They didn't actively work against them to the point of calling them murderers and warmongers and wh¤res for it. They didn't buy into pizza parlor pedophile ring conspiracy theories and fatal illness conspiracy theories with glee because they thought Kerry or Gore were flawed, yet they did with Hillary.

Sun Aug 13, 2017, 01:55 AM

However, there are two schools of thought, linguistically, when it comes to swear words. Since I have three university degrees, one in linguistics and two in modern languages, I have actually studied this. Swear words are what people use when they have no other words in their vocabulary to express what they mean... And swear words are what people use when they have no other words in their vocabulary to express what they mean.

You seem to be of the opinion that swearing is sign of poor vocabulary, that people swear because they don't know enough words, that it is a sign of word poverty. However, I am of the opinion that swear words have specific meanings which no other words can adequately express, and that in some cases, only swear words will do to convey what you mean.

Dismiss me if you wish, but the truth is that the US is on the brink of destruction. It will never be what it once was, of course, but now it is in danger of being completely destroyed - and it will take a lot of the rest of the world with it. They'll talk of 2017 as they now do 1939. And 1945 is perhaps never going to happen for us. If that doesn't deserve swearing, I don't know what fucking does.

Ps: Nice tone argument, by the way. How very progressive of you.

David Duke: Charlottesville protests about ‘fulfilling promises of Donald Trump’


Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke appeared at the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Va. prior to Saturday's violent clashes, saying that the event represented fulfilling the promises of President Trump.

"This represents a turning point for the people of this country. We are determined to take our country back, we're going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump, and that's what we believed in, that's why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he's going to take our country back and that's what we gotta do," Duke said.
