It's why I'm convinced the "Bernie would have won" crowd was dead wrong. All Trump would have had to do is scream "SOCIALISM!" over and over (and nothing else) and it would have worked the morons into such a froth he would have had the landslide victory he dreams he had over Hillary.

Well, there is the Velvet Mafia and the Pink Mafia.. but don’t say their names too loudly, I have an event to go to next week, and I get blackballed or worse, gossiped about before I even attend.

Socialism is just a dirty word they toss around because most of his constituents and the people that follow this filth simply don’t understand what it means/is and the fact that us HAS HAD SOCIALISM (in various forms) for the last 80 years. Only they won’t ever call it that.. its Government Assistance, Medicare,…

I originally read this as “Rap Delcared ‘National Emergency’ by Sierra Leone’s President” and was expecting to go on a tour of the absurd...and then I see it was so, so, so much worse.

I mean, that’s always how conservatives have used the word: as a catch-all slur.

In the same way that ‘liberal’ means ‘people who hate America and Jesus’.

To be fair, “thing I happen to not like” is the standard definition for “socialism” today.

Kudos to him for doing the triage that needed to be done. Now we’ll see how the public discussion goes. Too much of sexual conquest is rooted in manhood and that’s a global problem.

He doesn’t strike me as someone who is particularly concerned with details. If he don’t like it, he don’t need to understand it.

One thing to take away from this story (aside from the fact that he is clearly a homophobe, which in 2019 is just pretty sad) is that he clearly has ZERO idea what “socialism” is and is willing to use that as a catch-all term to describe groups/ideologies he’s scared of/wants to discriminate against.

In all honesty, I’m gonna need a while. It’s almost too much to process. I really have no words. 

this is the first time ive seen siera leone in the news since the civil war ended in what.. 2002?

tbh kind of surprised this hasn’t been flooded with BUT WHAT ABOUT WHITE RAPISTS

Huh.

Because they can. Because there is virtually no chance of even the mildest censure for doing so.

It’s Tucson not Tuscon(it’s misspelled a lot!). Pronounced Two-Sawn. It’s a Native American word that I still don’t know the meaning of even after having spent my formative years there.

And, that is the most troubling thing about it. He’s done so much shit, that you tend to ignore the “little” things. Obama gets dinged for wearing a light colored suit, meanwhile....

.... “a jurisdiction where wypipo make and interpret all the rules” 

I can’t deal with this today

Local prosecutors and state AGs are positions that have some of the most influence on the daily lives of many black people. If we want change, whenever possible we have to turn out in groves to vote people into these positions that are willing to prosecute police when they murder blacks. If we don’t show up to the…
