So, either they’re naive, or they’re not as polar as the story seems

The Democrats have no one to blame but themselves for losing the labor unions.

Thank you for the numbers. For an instant I was questioning my memory because yesterday I saw a bunch of trump fans tweeting about how Obama made the most use out of executive orders in the history of the US which sounded just plain wrong but than I remembered we’re living in an alternative fact world now.

I agree with everything you said — it’s very good insight from someone who lives there.

I love when people talk about Chicago when they do not live here. There are issues, yes, with violence spurned on by the constant and aggressive neglect of poor communities on the south and west side of the city. Fuck Rahm. We need federal funding for schools and hospitals, not fucking militarization of marginalized…

One area: explicitly asking for Federal aid right now, being ignored despite precedent of sending FEMA and other aid to natural disasters. Other area: not asking, only brought to POTUS’s attention by Fox News anchor, appears to be a threat of illegally imposing martial law on an American city. You’re right, they are…

I’ll say it again: this was Trump’s FOURTH run for the Presidency. Don’t act like he was tricked into doing this. He’s desperately wanted this for 30 years — with no real agenda. He has wanted to be a figureheard for whoever would let him, no matter the agenda, for longer than many here have been alive. Don’t act like…

Of course he’s going to get tired of it. But the people who said he would quit were dreaming. He’s also an egomaniac who can’t leave the spotlight. So he’s going to do as little as possible and just rubber stamp every piece of repugnant, racist, misogynist, Islamophobic, transphobic, neoliberal, oligarchical…

He’s a fucking fascist and most of the media is too cowardly to call him out.

Hopefully the silver lining of trumps pride and arrogance is that folks will be more inspured to turn our. I’mean afraid fatigue will set in by then. I’ve also noticed the alt-right stepping up baseless attacks against my senator.

This is correct. He just wants to (a) stand in front of an adoring mob chanting his slogans and (b) make some money. He doesn’t give a shit about anything else.

Why is this remotely a surprise? To all of us who said this urchin is literally going to dismantle the United States, our foes said his rhetoric was just that. People within his own party who said there is no way he would ever do this.

He’s a blowhard, but he’s also pretty stupid. He has no idea what any of this policy means or is about, and he has no inclination to learn. So he’s just going to do what they tell him to do from here on out. It’s not deference, it’s ignorance.

I am scared shitless. And I don’t understand people who are like, hey nbd, just give him a chance and we all have to pull together....WHAT? He is a MADMAN. I am legit scared.

It always struck me as curious how steadfast the Republicans were about not allowing Garland a hearing up to the very end...even when the odds seemed against them...it seemed to suggest a reassurance of the outcome...

You have correctly identified what this lot wants. This is exactly what they are hoping for.... and have achieved to a degree. The more people that feel disenfranchised from the system, the fewer that bother to vote, the easier it is to win. Trump is President with only 1/4 of the peoples votes (as 50% didnt).

I starred you because I agree. Unfortunately I also have wondered if Trump is hammering this point because he actually benefited from “voter fraud.” Republicans have been fucking with voter boundaries and registration in key states for a while now. They were adamant about waiting for a SC nominee until after the…

It erodes our faith in our democratic institutions. We may survive a trump presidency but the US won’t be able to survive a complete loss of faith in things like our elections and our press for example. It will breed widespread corruption and authoritarianism as people will think trump is the one true gatekeeper of…

This shit is so dangerous. It erodes our faith in our democratic institutions. We may survive a trump presidency but the US won’t be able to survive a complete loss of faith in things like our elections and our press for example. It will breed widespread corruption and authoritarianism as people will think trump is…

It seems hypocritical to keep referring to it as an egg and not a chicken.
