Because we no longer have a free press. By deregulating telecommunications, the Repukes allowed news delivery across all platforms to get bought up by 6 billionaires — all with their own agendas. The ‘reporters’ are not journalists... they are there for ratings, money and to serve their corporate masters’ whims.

Did I not also see that same guy on CNN claiming that Islam is not a real religion and not worthy of protection? If someone said that about any other religion... and yet he and his ilk are repeatedly given a national platform for their hatred- why do they let him on the air?!?

You see? I kept saying I hoped Trump would quit. Ideally with Clinton in the WH, but if not, just get Trump away from the place. Then commenters piled on “oh no, Pence would be in charge”! Two things: one, why the F do you think Pence isn’t in charge already? Do you think Trump will lift a finger? Do you think he…

Over on Breitbart, the knuckleheads are using the word “google” to refer to black people and “echo” for Jewish people. I’m pretty sure that at this point, “round up Muslims” and “nuke France” is how they refer to scat play and water sports.

But this would be more like Trumps version (although I love homer and he’s 10000 times kinder and smarter than trump)

This x 1000. Everybody think of the SNL skit from last week where white people discover unfairness, and triple it.

Ha. Aw. Fuck.

Romney may be the first reasonable candidate that Trump has proposed. He’s a Republican, but at least he’s intelligent, sane, and responsible unlike the motley group of idiots and lunatics that have been mentioned as possible candidates for various positions.

It really makes you appreciate the situation we’re in when you’re actually hoping for Mitt Romney.

I worked on pandemic planning during the Bush administration. I thought at the time, he was at least trying. Not succeeded, but at least making the effort. Thank you, you leftover slice of moldy pumpkin pie for making me miss Bush.

I think the federal government is more like a bus that will explode if it goes under 50mph. And Obama is Keanu Reeves and we’re Sandra Bullock. And Donald Trump is Dennis Hopper.

He’s way, way more mature than I could ever be.

On the news today I heard that Trump is considering Romney for Secretary of State. I thought, well, at least there would be one adult in the room.

I’m sorry, I can’t hear you Obama, the deathrattle of Western democratic liberalism echoing around the globe is too loud.

It kind of makes me feel like our parents are getting divorced, Obama’s our real dad, and we have to go live with our drunk, grabby, step-dad. Real dad is trying to make us feel better about it, but we know step-dad is going to get trashed and hit on our under-age best friend. And by that, I mean round up muslims and…

Counterpoint: SURE AS FUCK IS, MAN.

I really respect President Obama, but I think one of his challenges is assuming that everybody is as measured and reasonable as he is.

They need to release the oxygen masks now.
