Today's quiz: Who said: "I alone can fix it"

and proceeded to fix nothing and break everything?

What if there was a certain someone who just by mentioning this person's name could cause a

MAJOR UPROAR in the liberal and progressive and Democratic Party community, and ONLY in that community.

What if this person knew very well their actions and comments were causing the "left" in America to be in a constant state of uproar, disagreement and anxiety and yet not only did nothing to make it better but everything possible to make it worse?

What if that was happening?

What could we do if that were to happen? Would we even be able to TALK about it?

I wouldnt be crazy about if Joe or Jane Blow journalist called me

stupid, fat, dumb, weird for being str8t, or any other god damn thing, but as long as they are ANTI rump and everyone else out to help Rump and Putin, I would support them completely.

Maybe in the best of times I would apply my liberal standards and not support them, but that is in the best of times. Maybe even in the not so best of times I would not support them, like the W administration (though that would be a tough call.)

But while a nazi fascist is in the WH turning away women and children to certain suffering and possibly death, at the border, while THAT is going on I will stand behind ANYONE who is ANTI that fascist nazi and everyone who supports that fascist nazi.

If you need to be outraged by something, and you have NO track record of

LOUD and IN YOUR FACE support of the LGBT community then you probably will come off as a HYPOCRITE if you are outraged about something Joy Reid said 10 years ago or yesterday, for that matter; or if you have no track record of being outraged at the filthy fascist NAZI'S in our WH including the spokeswoman who went to a dinner over the weekend and their actions, then you might just want to keep the focus on her makeup and NOT the women and children they are trying to KILL at our border.

Nearly 200 asylum seekers, many traveling with children, had decided to apply for protection at the crossing at San Diego, organizers said.

Wearing white armbands to identify themselves, the first 50 people tried to enter the San Ysidro port of entry in the afternoon, at the end of an expedition that started more than a month ago and 2,500 miles south of the U.S.


Filthy fucking fascists.

And the problem is a comedian telling the truth about the fascists, NOT the fascists?

I just alerted "personal attack" or whatever that thing is and I did it so fast I clicked on

a paragraph of agreeing to something?

I cant get it to open now since I just did it

What did I agree to when I sent that?

What did we learn today about what it means to be a rank and file republican voter?

That the head of HUD can change policy making rich republicans richer like Hannity and Kushner.

To be a rank and file republican you will endorse this, even if it means more poor people are homeless or dead.

That is what today's line is you have to cross to be a republican.

They are gonna bring down both parties & USA if you arent careful, because they work for Putin.

Not just Trump, others. Not just republicans, either.

They need help though, they need willful followers who will trust them even when they are being lied to and used.
Again, could be talking about multiple people.



You think the past 50 years the KGB and the Putin's of the world have been building roads and creating economic opportunities for their citizens?

These fuckers never do that stuff. What they do is send over deep cover agents, some of them BORN HERE, to do their dirty work for them. They are all over the place. THAT is WHAT the KGB does, dont PLAY their game and call them by another name, by the way.

The Soviet Union leaders and institutions invest in war and taking from others, THAT is what they are doing NOW.

Then add bots, millions of bots. Holy fuck, Batman!


Come on, this is common sense, it is happening NOW.

ANYONE who says "Russia isnt what is important, jobs are" is either one of them, yes, one of them, or just very blinded by the bullshit. Not by the light, the bullshit.

Seems many Americans are very inventive but many are also unable to discern bullshit when they hear it.

We need a permanent thread of the not hundreds but THOUSANDS of HORRIBLE things this

administration has done.

A recent one is Ben Carson is looking to TRIPLE the rent for poor people using HUD, which will lead to homelessness and death.

Each person can add a law, bill, action, EO that has been done to GREATLY harm our nation and world and we can update the thread daily.

TAG you are next!

If every gay person permanently turned away from every person who EVER in their lives

said or thought anything homophobic, they would have very few friends left including less gay friends left, which is why gay people dont do that, surely not the ones I know.

No, this is not about her vs the gay community AT ALL and we all know that.

Gay people realize that straight people ESPECIALLY those born before a certain time, had cultural shit thrown at them from day one about gay people that often resulted in ignorant comments or thoughts.

Hell SOME, not all, gay people themselves have said shit about gay people under the pressure of the shit culture most of us grew up in.
