Now That Trump's President... (not any more!)

all types of racism = on both sides

I can already see how that space force thing is going to play out.

Hadn't heard about this, seems to be getting some traction. Definitely facing opposition, but with the seemingly reasonable face of it, could easily see it taking hold and turning into something serious.

Kavanaugh was staff secretary to Bush W from 2003 to 2006. Kavanaugh would have been well-placed to weigh in on some of the Bush administration’s most significant moments, including the Iraq War and its aftermath, the Abu Ghraib scandal and other torture-related policies, and the reauthorization of the PATRIOT Act

i wonder why the house judiciary committee is refusing to allow records of that portion of his career to be reviewed for the confirmation process

when the republicans demanded all records imaginable for kagan and sotomayor, the democrats obliged them

ooft that's pretty frightening. here's hoping this is just one of those flash in the pan shitty ideas that fizzles out. the whole 'the socialist marxists are taking over' talking point is such a lazy excuse, if you're going to change it you'd better have a damn good fkn argument with loads of great points about what this is doing and how it will benefit people but this seems to be the easiest way to win over the masses so why bother.

 

it's pretty sad to see the same mentality that has maintained and exacerbated inequality over the years turns and points the finger at the people with the ideas and policies that actually aim to support others, and blame them for the problems they created in the first place. and it works, goddamnit it. these are people who explicitly don't give a fuck about disadvantaged people because they think a completely chaotic and complex system is infallable and every single person who is in a poverty deserves it because they weren't good at playing by the rules of the system. you would have to be the biggest arsehole to be that shallow and arrogant and yet somehow we let these people make rules that dictate how society should function. yeah that sounds smart, good job everyone.

BOMBSHELL TO FINALLY DESTROY PRESIDENCY. TRUMP ETERNALLY BTFO!!!1

BIKERS ARE RACIST, MORE NEWS AT 11.

Putin did it first, and better

god those bikes are so retarded.

actually I'm really glad "biker" cunts stick to those types of bikes cultishly. they have no business being anywhere near a Ducati or Triumph or any respectable European or Japanese brand.

It's like they've tried their hardest to stop the brain from doing any work so have found the most simple code to live and die by.

They fired Strzok on Friday. Were supposed to just demote and suspend him for 60 days, but it seems someone decided otherwise. Curious to see the ramifications, if it's tied back directly to Trump/etc.

The ᛋᛋ is probably the USMC sniper scout bullshit, or will be likely presented as such. Of course I can't think of a decorated veteran sniper who has actually defended that ss crap and it seems to be a recent (i.e. post-'Nam) trend.

Anyway, another example of this normalization of military veterans, and by extension, bikers, as rough but patriotic "good people" post-9/11 by default. No one should be shocked that racist neo-Nazi assholes have served in the military and in combat.

I wonder if it will even really matter if tapes are released with Donnie using the N word...nothing else seems to affect him so why would that? Maybe he was right...he should go ahead and shoot someone on 5th avenue and find out.

^^^ yep

 Federalist No. 68

  Quote

 

The process of election affords a moral certainty, that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications. Talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity, may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single State; but it will require other talents, and a different kind of merit, to establish him in the esteem and confidence of the whole Union, or of so considerable a portion of it as would be necessary to make him a successful candidate for the distinguished office of President of the United States. It will not be too strong to say, that there will be a constant probability of seeing the station filled by characters pre-eminent for ability and virtue. And this will be thought no inconsiderable recommendation of the Constitution, by those who are able to estimate the share which the executive in every government must necessarily have in its good or ill administration. Though we cannot acquiesce in the political heresy of the poet who says: "For forms of government let fools contest That which is best administered is best,'' yet we may safely pronounce, that the true test of a good government is its aptitude and tendency to produce a good administration.

or not

The nazi eagle on the neck makes it more likely that this is a nazi instead of some sniper BS.

Is the SS arm photo even from those guys? Doesn't seem to be at first blush but I sure haven't researched it beyond looking at the photos y'all posted already.
