I think it’s perfectly fine to enjoy one fool smacking down another fool as long you keep in mind that in the end they are both fools.

If it had been someone I knew, I absolutely would have responded. Total strangers who may be bots/Russians I’m starting to just deal with a little bit less, and this one was a matter of timing, as I had to get out the door rather than get involved. Others were already taking the person to task, though, which helped.

Yeah, if Rachel Maddow was found to be using the same personal lawyer as President Obama, you can bet your ass there would be no end to the shrieking from Fox and the other nutbags about how MSNBC has a desk in the Oval Office, directing the Mooslim Socialist Kenyan to drive the nation into an abyss of…

I love how the same people who freak out over an athlete kneeling during an anthem as “against the flag and our country” are fighting so hard to keep up monuments of people who literally fought against our flag and our country. You can’t make this shit up... #AMURKA

They’re not “losing their minds” - they’re doing exactly the thing they always do, and they do it on purpose and they do it meticulously. We need to stop acting like these people are just dumb lunatics and remember that they are fucking snakes.

Again, when someone is having a mental breakdown, do not call the fucking police.

It’s the equivalent of making a kid who defiantly peed in his own bed sleep in it. And you know - he might not be wrong.

You should get on that columbo. I Sure that this is a vast conspiracy againsy starbucks.

I find it’s important to be aware of my implicit biases. I know they’re there. I don’t want them to be, but there they are. And so I try to actively fight against them. Constant self-vigilance.

Never in the history of humankind has an oppressor society voluntarily ceased its oppression and invited those who had been oppressed to become equals.

They have a Trump one now. I have a strong preference for “recent presidents” (Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Obama; no photos of either Bush were used at all, which is really very interesting) over Trump. Even with Nixon, Ford, and Reagan in there.

I remember taking that test sometime ago. I had a slight bias against white people. The only way anything will change is if white people speak up and do something and actual physical evidence. Black people have been dealing with Breathing while Black for centuries and trying to tell white people but noone believes us…

The same group of people who elected Bush the Lesser than claim not to know him?

I think you’re absolutely right. What’s more, a lot of them have quietly already decided that a blue wave is imminent that’s so big that it’s not worth fighting. If you take your average Conservative, they’re more likely to not vote than to vote in an election they think they’re going to lose just to sidestep having…

these people don’t change their minds, they just change the subject

“Who? Oh, yeah, Trump, but eh I’m not really big into politics.”

It’s like, motherfucker I work with you, I’ve been hearing this shit all year.

Anyone else with Trumpers in the orbit of their personal lives noticing some kind of corner has been turned?

I have to interact with a reasonable number of them on a daily basis because of work; because about half-ish of the office is over-50 white people in the southeast, they feel pretty free to discuss their…

“....came to us and gave all the employees thousand dollar tax cuts*. And with those we were able to pay our doctors*’ bills.”

I think he’s been a good strategist (for selfish purposes), and that he is now strategizing that the best thing he can do for himself is GTFO. I think that putting another speaker in his place right away will put a target on their back for their reelection campaigns, no matter how safe they seem, and Ryan staying in…

Much like medium rare steak, I used to hate chicken thighs, until I was broke as shit and realized how cheap they were. I fried some chicken thighs for me and my fiancee and I haven’t looked back.
