Well I would never disagree with that. But we could certainly do away with the pandering to elite, wealthy liberals and actually cater to the lower and middle classes. They used to be the bread-and-butter for the Democrats.

while i cannot definitively say that, i can say that 60,375,961 of my fellow americans voted for the right to not get any smarter.

Not really. We can stand to lose the White nationalists to Trump. That’s fine with me.

You think we’ll all get dumber listening to Trump speak the next four years?

“Democrats should not waver on our core beliefs and principles... the core set of values that are not up for debate.”

But we’ll have tons of rallies to throw adulation at our dear leader!

I don’t think he’ll have the health to be president. Trump looks like he’s a quadruple bipass surgery away from giving the keys over to Pence. I know, I know, Pence is much worse, but at least he knows how the government works.

We won’t see a presidential press conference of this caliber once Trump takes over.

you know what i will miss most about obama?

I didn’t get to listen to the entire press conference but during all the parts I did hear, I noticed that Obama avoided mentioning our president-elects name, except for once. He specifically used “incoming president” or “president-elect”. He must have taken a cue from his wife, which made me happy. Let’s all do the…

Can’t say I blame him for being careful, especially when those assholes can destroy everything he worked 8 years to build.

well written.

Yep, and it’s fucking everywhere, not just in America. Not just this election.

This is one of those memes that gets posted a lot whenever something horrible or fucked up happens, but this week is the first time I’ve ever meant the words literally.

The tomato splattered on the wall is how Rockwell chose to include the ugly mob. They are not in frame but you know what is happening, and Rockwell expects you to understand someone has thrown a tomato at her just seconds ago. One other thing that I never realized, but the viewer is looking at Ruby from the vantage…

For many years, I taught Melba Beals’s Warriors Don’t Cry. (Back in 1957, when she was Melba Pattillo, she was one of the “Little Rock Nine,” a group of nine African American students who attempted to integrate Little Rock Central High School in September of that year.) If you’ve never read the book, I recommend it…

You can read her thoughts right now. She is published and she is still alive.

She wasn’t unaware one iota. I was the only black child in my school at the age of six, immigrated here from the Caribbean. I assure you that experience has scarred me for life.

I disagree. Rockwell actually altered the picture to ONLY include Ruby. He also cut off the heads of the white marshalls escorting her, for emphasis.

Grown people screamed and fought, in fear of a child in hair bows and ankle socks. And here we go again.
