Okay, the census pisses me off!

This question:
Select one or more boxes AND enter origins. For this census, Hispanic origins are not races.

The origins box is not optional. I'm offended and disgusted. What difference does it make my origin? Is that going to qualify my community for more or less federal dollars if I am black, brown, white? WTAF?

I put human.

They know...

I am no longer able to believe that the Republicans, officials and citizens, that support Trump are unaware of the evil. They know. They know and maybe those with any moral fiber left are just waiting for someone else to call it out. The others don't care. They know he is evil. They know he is destroying our nation and our way of life for generations to come. They know, but they don't care because they think they are profiting or they think they will benefit in some way. We need to just call their evil out, call out the fact that they know they are supporting pure evil and corruption. Look them in the eye and tell them, "You know this administration is evil, murderous, corrupt. You know and even though you deny it, you will one day be called to account."

They don't pass up an opportunity to attack even the most minor offenses of any Democrat in office, but there is nothing a Republican can do that doesn't warrant their praise, no matter how cruel, blatantly corrupt or vile the act. They pretend they don't see this disparity, but they do. They see it and they know they are propping up pure evil. Trump is the vehicle and they are the engine of his evil. They know he is evil but he makes their own evil feel justified. They know. Look them in the eye and tell them you know they know.

One of many reasons I reject Christianity...

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/03/watch-baptist-preacher-dismantles-meagachurch-leaders-boast-were-winning-during-coronavirus-crisis/

The preacher that got pissed off is upset because he believes the foundation of Christianity and God's purpose is for people to hold onto their faith even through their suffering. To me, this is sick. This is like staying in a marriage where you are abused, neglected, tormented, just because you're supposed to, just to prove you're worthy of existence. Screw that and screw any God who can't do better than that. Where is the comfort in such a religion? Such concepts provide a model for sick relationships. I reject this crap. GET THEE BEHIND ME!

Ok, did Rachel and Lawrence have a spat?

I’ve never seen them engage in such a terse and rapid hand off. “Thanks you, Rachel.” “Certainly.” And that was it! Wonder what that was about?

Trump is the most powerless president ever...

If you listen to the right wing media, that is. I found this infuriating article in my local paper.

Apparently Obama is the MOST powerful president ever because even though he left office more than 3 years ago, he is responsible for everything that goes wrong in the nation while Trump holds office. Trump, on the other hand, is the least powerful president because even though he's been in office more than 3 years now, Obama is still in control of everything.

As a matter of fact, Republican presidents of the last 30 years have been mighty impotent, according to the right.

Boomhauer!

James Carville on the Democratic primary...sounds exactly like Boomhauer from King of the Hill.
