Coon says what?

He won re-election with over 60% of the vote. Amazing. While we should be happy that there is another African-American in the Senate, as the amount in history is such a small number, this guy is just so backwards and seems to have no concept of the legacy of civil rights that made an appointment and election of…

What a fucking cuck Scott is.

I’ve taken an approach that helps with my sanity: if they broach the topic, I’ll shut them down. There’s “reachable” and then there’s “WAY the fuck too far gone.” When your mom is reading Tomi Lahren tweets to you, apropos of nothing, and after having been told that you hate Tomi Lahren, they’re in the latter…

SIDEBAR: I found myself in the “not going to bother talking politics with family” boat, though I couldn’t give less of a shit regarding whether the Obamas or Clintons speak out.

Yes, this x1000. Which version of the truth are you planning on backing up with your integrity if we confirm you to the position you seek? Not petty at all.

See, it seems petty... But also it’s a basic fucking litmus test too. “Can you, when pressed by the United States Congress, speak the literal truth? Or are you a deluded lunatic 100% of the time?”

I mean, I can see where he’s going with it in his follow-up.

I’m not convinced that the Russians didn’t in fact hack voting machines in certain counties in certain states to give Trump the win. They wanted their puppet in the White House and imo were prepared to do anything to put him there.

Where in God’s name is this ridiculous talking point coming from? It’s pure gibberish. And the EC exists solely to stop the public at large from electing a madman or someone manifestly incompetent. It obviously failed at the one thing it was put in place to do, so it’s an anachronism that has to die.

Until we learn how to counteract the billions the 1% have put into turning our country anti-government, we ain’t gonna change shit.

You also forget the rampant voting rights fuckery thanks to voter ID laws, clearly put in place to disenfranchise voters on a partisan basis.

You speak about political legitimacy as though it’s a yes/no answer. That’s not how it works. They have classes for this subject.

Your definition of cheating— manipulating actual ballots— is ridiculously narrow. Most dictators don’t actually manipulate ballots. They just suppress voting (which Republicans here do), or announce that they won more votes than they actually did (which Trump has done consistently when he claims he got more votes…

Oh my god that guy is ridic

Also, Sheriff Clarke is FAR more useful for the coming crackdown.

Holy shit, she’s 50? She is utterly gorgeous.

When even the black people who sell out and support the racists aren’t wanted anymore, then you know it’s truly begun.

Hard to believe she’s fifty. She looks younger than a lot of 30 year olds.
