I went to Pinnacle for HS. I live in San Francisco now, and got the hell out of that racist shithole as soon as I graduated. AZ is pretty racist, so while I’m disappointed and disgusted, I can’t say I’m particularly shocked. I mean, this is the state that passed “papers please” SB170. We did a mock election in 2004…

Too late, it’s already started happening: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/09/us/california-farmers-backed-trump-but-now-fear-losing-field-workers.html

Same, newfound love for Jake Tapper in the last approximately 2 months. He’s fighting the good fight, and I’ve always been into the silver fox thing.

I’m on board for this as long as Orange Hitler, Ted Cruz, Paul Ryan, and Mitch McConnell are on that crewed mission.

Wouldn’t they lose their seats if they did pass this shitty replacement to Obamacare? Not the other way around? Sure, Trump could talk shit against them in 2018, but I think they have more to worry about from their constituents (you know, the people who actually vote) when a bunch of them lose their health insurance…

Yeah, I’m a die-hard, bleeding heart liberal from San Francisco and this type of shit makes me hate liberals.

I agree with your sentiment, although what stuck for me too is that we are less than 2 months in. Holy shit, has it really been that short? It feels like 8 lifetimes at least.

This is the right answer. Kleptocracy at its finest.

The Southern Democrats of yore literally stopped being Democrats because of their racism. As soon as LBJ (a Democrat from Texas) got the Civil Rights Act passed in ‘64, then the Voting Rights Act in ‘65, the racists have been firmly in GOP ever since.

Always appropriate

Republicans run on a platform that “government doesn’t work” and, once elected, go about proving it.

Given that logic, wouldn’t they be pro-abortion because the man would be unjustly forced to pay to raise an unwanted child?

“The right to worship and commune within and across faiths is fundamental to the American experience and our way of life. DHS will continue to support communities across the country to preserve these fundamental freedoms.”*

Yeah, the Dems aren’t perfect but they are infinitely better for the average person than the Republicans. I live in a majority-Democrat state (California) and we are so much better off than, say, Kansas where they have cut taxes for the wealthy and put the state in a fiscal death spiral. Statewide, we are raising the…

I feel like I’ve aged 6 years in the last 6 weeks. I don’t know if my body or my liver can take 4 years of this.

I loved this movie in high school and my own personal claim to fame was that the world ended on my birthday. Yep.

Awesome for Gabby Giffords to stand up to this bullshit. Also, doesn’t Louie Gohmert know our side isn’t the one armed to the teeth? At worst, we’ll like, throw an organic, locally-farmed orange at his head. Fucking idiot.

Exactly, not only is it morally repugnant to keep out the people that helped our military, it also deters new people from wanting to help. What’s the point of helping the US if you’re risking your life with no possibility of coming to the US after?

My guess is they see as a threat to white male heteronormativity that has dominated this country since inception. They don’t want anyone else to have a seat at the table - no women, minorities, LGBTQ people. It’s about upholding the status quo wherein only straight, white men have the means to any real power.
