No, unfortunately the joke is on us and it’s not funny. Rich are almost never held accountable for their crimes in this country. and the damage they will do before the next election is astounding.
Wrong. Only if you vote. Only if you put your ass in your car and go volunteer for your local Dem’s campaign. Only if you incessantly call your House rep asking for an investigation into this. The fate of the American democracy hinges on you actually showing up.
McConnell saying the Republicans can handle an investigation is like when an abuser’s enabling relatives say “it’s a family issue, we’ll deal with it privately.”
Considering most of them are all religious rich people, you have no idea how “bad” it can be. Money and religion never mix, and when they do, you get some of the worst human beings on the planet.
They’re shameless, spineless sociopaths. There is no bottom for them.
I think they own his sorry ass. I know I’m a liberal, so I can’t really fathom what those idiots are thinking when they look at him, but honestly, does anyone think of the word “patriotic” re trump? I’ve never gotten the least impression he cares about anything but himself.
“Whats with all these leaks!”
Sorry - Cheney and Rumsfeld are both basically evil. George the Lesser was evil for conjuring these two.
It’s a trap. Don’t long for it, that’s what they want you to do. :) I know what you mean, but they were fucked up and more subtle about it. This is Full-On Open Madness.
I don’t believe it will happen. Democrats have a “look forward, not backward” approach to politics because they don’t have the stomach for a knife fight.
I think you might be forgetting a few things. Like Cheney outting Valerie Plame as a CIA agent. That was pretty evil.
The Dems will likely set themselves up for failure by going for a unity play totally forgetting how well (sarcasm alert) that worked for them with not charging Bush / Cheney with war crimes.
Good God, this is bad. I have nothing else to say.
America seems to be greatly fucked as far as this cabinet goes.
“White people get radicalized...”
I think a very prominent strain in liberalism (of the very privileged variety) amounts to, “I’m just gonna sit back and let this all play out because good things always work out in the end”. My mother has taken this approach with my alcoholic & abusive brother, and it is maddening. See also: liberals freaking out over…
I read “Altas Shrugged” in hi-skool too, but fortunately for me I had read “Lolita” first so my strongest impression of the Rand epic was, “This is quite a page-turner, but wow, how shoddily written!” Similarly, I read “Dianetics” when I was a teenager, but before that I had read most of the works of Philip K. Dick…
Hitler was able to raise wages for all of the Germans he wasn’t killing, so things weren’t that bad.
White people get radicalized very easily because when you’re spoiled and never face any real adversity, the smallest slights feel world changing.
