I think you’ve confused resignation for anticipation.

Whether or not Lincoln was an abolitionist has zero baring on the large and robust Abolition movements ALL OVER THE FUCKING GLOBE in the 18th and 19th century. Is your ignorant ass aware that even other European slave trading states ABOLISHED THE TRADE?

Newsflash: Abolition was a thing. Slavery was no more accepted in the past than child trafficking is accepted today. We literally fought a fucking war over it. Also: Missouri Compromise. Tried and failed.

Surely we could get a kickstarter or something going to grab this guy another Charger. Don’t think it has to be mint

trump has been at that since the fall of the Soviet Union. Multiple floors of trump tower NYC laundered hundreds of millions of dollars of Russian money. Outside the Apprentice money, its his sole source of income for the last 25 years.  

I - me, angry lefty in SC with a shitty internet connection - knew who Manafort was before the campaign because of Ukraine. It was WHY they hired him.

Also, no matter how many Range Rovers the Russians give you through their people in Cyprus, we’ll still come for your ass. We see all.

Its an interesting question, to be sure. I think you can take a look at Turkey’s issues over the past few years to see what happens when allegiance to country vs following orders comes into question. Their coup was limited to a small faction of the army, went belly-up when they couldn’t get any support from the public…

So far, I think its only Louise Mensch, but she’s been surprisingly right about a ton of stuff

Close - the fighting will be in the streets and the cops will be on their side. But thats it. It will be the greater populace of the US against a small faction of armed whites and the police. Ugly? For fucking sure - lots of casualties. But the people have the numbers - when we have solidarity, we ALWAYS win.

Most fascists, worldwide, are pussies. That’s why they long for a strong corporate/government leader. Snuffing one of them, on Facebook Live/Periscope/Twitter, for all the world to see, would send that shit back to the history books for another 75 years or so.

Meanwhile over at Red State: they’re speculating that actually Mueller is investigating Hil’s and Obama’s ties to Putin through Podesta.

Hoping trump will do the right thing is an idiots perspective. Period.

Because of the dumb fucking words coming out of his clueless, privileged mouth

Indeed. When you see just how many Dems line up to defend unfettered Capitalism - when you have the poorest of the poor defending the Kochs and Mercers - the game is over. Revolution is coming. It might not go well for our side, but goddamn if the Guillotine God won’t get his share.

Uhm, you just described the US Shareholder model.

Shareholder Capitalism is a lost cause. See: now. Stakeholder model is the only thing that would stave off the revolution at this point, but bootstraps and stuff.

My good ol’ buddy Stig said point blank he wouldn’t give up his mortgage credit to help a poor - you’re expecting a CEO to? Marx was right - human nature means capitalism will ALWAYS turn towards the producers and holders of capital.

Being insulated from the realities of life is absolutely privilege. So nice celebs like him and Kimmel and can decide to pay attention anytime - then go right back to not. Fuck both

His heart is NOT in the right place. This is the take of someone whose privilege allows them to never pay attention. Because things like access to healthcare and education and income inequality are not nearly as important to them as being the first on their block to get a macha grinder
