I’d like to let him know that probably the worst thing is being murdered by a racist.

As someone who is a citizen of a country where socialism has been overwhelmingly successful, I’ve never understood why it’s been considered the boogieman in the States.

And I don’t want my grandkids growing up in a theocratic totalitarian corporate fascist dystopian industrial wasteland police state. So... where do we go from here?

Yea, but it’s being given mostly to white people, so it doesn’t count. Republican’s only think its bad when those other people are getting ‘hand-outs.’ You know the ones, *wink wink, nod nod.*

She beat an elderly man with a brick for no reason...I’ll take immigrants over homegrown assholes any day.

I’m sad that an elderly Black woman is the only congressperson brave enough to push back on this trash heap nazi administration and their nazi lackeys in congress. The Democrats can go fuck themselves for hanging her out to dry.

This isn’t about anything but laying the groundwork to start shrinking the program entirely, until it’s so small it can be cut and replaced with some…

That’s what makes it hilarious. This Becky got fired from a pyramid scheme. 

This is one of the reasons I read and enjoy the Root.

Three words : Military Coup!

Because inbreeding only works for so long...after awhile, you’ve banged all the branches of the family tree.

Why don’t these pieces trash just date each other?

Hurt.
