My county is like this. A lot of complaining about the cronyism that runs rampant, but when it’s time to vote for change, no one turns up.

The lack of turnout all over the country, but especially in places rocked by turmoil like St. Louis and Baltimore, is extremely troubling. People consider this a “Democratic” problem since these are registered Democrats who don’t bother to turn out, but the problem is deeper than party politics. People are so…

It strikes me that this might be part of the problem. I can’t be bothered to go, of course, but someone should.

This story coupled with Los Angeles 12% vote turnout yesterday is so so so infuriating. I am pissed off. We did this to ourselves. 

The founding fathers actually went to great lengths to try to design a system of government that *wasn’t* all that responsive to whims of uninformed populist mobs. The whole electoral college concept was based on the idea that your average man (which required owning property, because your vocal idiots at the tavern…

The Muslims should tell Bayonne they want to build a stadium with public money if they want to get approved.

As he said about the fish and the loaves; “I can’t feed these people, that would create dependency! I’ll pray for them to not be so poor instead” Amen.

“... Lead us not trespass, as we forgive those that trespass against us...” I mean, it’s in the prayer that they shouldn’t be dickbags to people and to forgive them when they are dickbags. But you know. Fuck em cause they’re Muslim.

I like the part where these people bring up their own religious beliefs when warning of the dangers of sharia law.

On the plus side, now the Muslims can find an alternative site for their place of worship that isn’t the shithole that is Bayonne.

I mean, if solving the turnout issue was possible, then in a city with St. Louis’ demographics, you could run a 3rd party black candidate and win the mayoral race easy-peasy.

Coast Guard drug interdiction accounts for more than half of all U.S. government seizures of cocaine each year.

Bannon is evil, yes, but he only thinks he’s a genius. He’s thoroughly mediocre in every respect, except for his outstanding suckitude.

The same Coast Guard that has to spend extra money now that they they have to run a patrol off the coast of mar-a-lago when trump is in town golfing and meeting with his russian handlers? Which is every weekend. That Coast Guard?

Very true.

This. The wall isn’t about security. It’s never been about security. It’s political theater.

Ah. I see the issue here. You’re incorrectly assuming the wall has anything to do with either of those things, when in fact its just another eyesore monument to his ego and pride, like everything Trump builds.

He’s just a fucking idiot. These policies reek of Steve Bannon, chief strategist/fascist to our dear leader.
