Damn Bobby, I thought you meant a fat white man-boy who can’t seem to dress himself with any sense of style, who is constantly enabled in his bad choices by his famous for nothing family.

Something like that just happened here. A provincial judge basically told a group of native elders to go away when they tried to bring a case opposing a massive dam project to court- and no reason for the rejection was published. People were appalled. A buddy who is in the law world figures it’s because the judge…

I see no arrests for criminal behaviour- such as the massive conflict of interest with regards to Trump businesses benefiting from his position, his family using his position to further business interests while on government business they are not qualified to handle.

After seeing this, I am convinced that the endgame will be some genuinely serious situation requiring presidential leadership — natural disaster, military confrontation, or something else — and Trump fucking it up completely. He will just fuck up so badly that something like Bush’s Katrina response will pale in…

Dissent has caused the demise of the health care bills; was responsible for supporting the ACLU so that the travel ban might be contested in court; and is keeping the Democrats energised in combating the current injustices. But feel free to roll over, say ‘meh’ and go back to sleep.

“You’d know who’d be good in this political position I know nothing about...that person I met that time. Hire them!”.

I’m as angry at his supporters as I am at Trump himself. Afterall, over 60 million people thought that this man was suited to be president. WTF is wrong with over 60 million Americans?

That’s not because of any good qualities Trump has, though. It’s just that we have legal and cultural barriers against Putin’s style of oppression that Trump hasn’t torn down yet. If you magically were able to swap Trump and Putin and make each the leader of the other country, you’d see both being run in pretty much…

Agreed on all points except one. They haven’t shut down the opposition. Not close. I have never in my life witnessed such a solid wave of dissent from both citizens and state governments.

Fair enough. I do think intent is as bad as achievement in this case. Dictators become so with a fully aware group of people behind them. This is happening, and I think people’s reluctance for hyperbole due to fear of ridicule is limiting recognition that it’s progressed beyond waiting for the next election to sort it…

The crazy thing is that Trump supposedly doesn’t drink. How the fuck does he think it’s a good idea to do any of this shit if he’s not hammered 24/7?

At this point, it’s really clear to me he’s on some sort of manic rampage. What is unconscionable to me is the network of people who are continuing to prop him up and excuse his behaviour. The GOP is using him as a distraction in order to rip the heart out of the American democracy and everyone is taking the bait…

Those open carry pussies would shit themselves if someone actually drew down on them.

Truth be told, once I saw him, I’d approach him from an off-angle (hand on my sidearm), and question him from close range about what the hell he’s doing (where the length of his weapon would be a disadvantage). I still don’t like that, because there’s that moment of approach where I don’t know his intentions, and then…

I noticed that: the consistent hitting on the ‘they,’ ‘them,’ and ‘theirs.’ It’s not just enough to call us leftists or progressives: we are a faceless, nameless horde now.

No, I got you: I do the same thing in hypothetical arguments (especially face-to-face: leads to some awkward conversations). The best (worst?...best?) part of it is, it’s not even about them being threatened personally. It’s that they have to protect this innocent flower of Anglo-Saxon womanhood being threatened by…

As a woman, I find it quite hysterical that men are suddenly walking around feeling that their personal security is so threatened because ISIS.

It should. Your chances of being killed by an ISIS terrorist is very low. But there are a lot of people here in the country absorbing this stuff. And they are heavily armed.

Exactly! And a ‘good guy with a gun’ is still an unknown factor. If I’m in a Starbucks, with my concealed service weapon, and I see someone in line with a visible holstered weapon, and I know this person is not a LEO (we do not carry visible weapons without a badge somewhere on us identifying ourselves), all I know…

I noticed that: the consistent hitting on the ‘they,’ ‘them,’ and ‘theirs.’ It’s not just enough to call us leftists or progressives: we are a faceless, nameless horde now. This sort of dehumanization of the opposition, especially in regards to groups that employ force, is a red flag. And it’s going to get worse: I…
