2008 is fuzzy regarding her support towards Obama (hence no star), but this: Secretary Clinton -> not that damn hard to write out. Love her, hate her - she dgaf no more (and honestly neither should we), but say it right or have a seat. Especially after waxing poetic about President Obama - a man who ran against her,…

Outworked by Trump? Were you paying attention? Trump didn’t have to do shit - she got played by our need to be entertained, 30 years of politics mixed with 50+ years of Kennedy/LBJ blow back, and frankly white complacency.

They lost their shit mostly when non-white people started to edge their way into it. Is it a mess? Yes. Should it be reformed? Yes (am a Warren ethical capitalism stan). But they don’t fucking see what it looks like? Really?

Only applies to federal employees, not as much all elected officials.

Political apathy doesn’t help matters. This is what happens when we go “they both suck, why bother?” - few get in to uphold the rules and norms.

Never mind that the guy was a state actor, not independent agent, and therefore made things really uncomfortable without clear reason...

Between those two and Smirky McSmirk-Face it’s going to be a hum-dinger of an RNC for sure. Sigh.

Really aren’t paying any attention to the words that come out of her mouth: she’s good without an office. Cosign on the no shade to Sen. Harris - unless Biden tipped his hand to them she’s not psychic.

Lord. Let’s forget the political parties shifted in the ‘50s/’60s argument: Slavery was America’s fault - period. ‘Free’ labor that could be bred and traded like livestock was relished in the South and an accepted evil in the North with the boom of cotton and the trade of sugar, rice, indigo, tobacco, and other…

Hell, been swerving since the 1960s when instead of letting racists fleeing the Democratic Party wither and die on their own the Republican Party felt like it was worth picking them up and nursing them back to health.

Sadly all he’d have to do for much of what remains of Trump’s base is go “me like bible” and squint gravely and they’d still be hard for him. Because fuck everyone else.

If he gave that much of a fuck about birds we’d have better rail systems because planes and helicopters aren’t friendly.

I think he’s finally getting that world burning wouldn’t be that profitable for him

I really wonder if this is a symptom of traumatic brain injury after years of football, because he doesn’t seem like the only one to go full ass in their later years.

Care less about them and more about the woker-than-thou that they drag out to back them up with that fuck-shit with an extra fun layer questioning her blackness. Mostly as those useful jerks also get a lot of oxygen from folks on the right who dgaf about racial justice but will amplify the hell out of them to look…

That quote could be worked around: “in a perfect world we should feel that way - because there were reforms in policing in this country, because we would feel like the average officer will help you in a crisis because there is a crisis, not because you were existing while not white and offended them or someone else,…

At this point, these writers who continue to hunt Kanye down for quotes and these publications that continue to run these stories are just as complicit as those GOP operatives who’ve infiltrated Kanye’s camp to prop him up just enough to fuck things up.

They’re comfortable and feel that they will be OK even if they hate his guts. The religious enjoys how he and his pander while having hope that Pence will step it up if Trump croaks or actually does something reprehensible enough to really merit being kicked out. The racists enjoy how much he says the quiet parts out…

After seeing “it is what it is” used to limit Christianity in a ‘Beyonce is anti-Christian’ argument regarding the eurocentric paegan influences to how the religion is practiced I really have to stand and cheer with this:

Lord, the angst. I get the ire - cheese and crackers/bread with some sort of meat and briny thing is not special (unless it’s from an animal massaged daily and fed truffles and wine where the cheese is platinum-flecked with vegetables or fruit brined by one really old lady in Bumblefuck Italy with some special…
