I forgot what the name for it was but NPR had a piece on Vietnam vets that picked up some sort of parasite (i think) that infects the liver and due to it taking years (like ~30 iirc) to finally turn into cancer, the majority of applicants get denied because it’s hard to prove it traces back to their deployment. This…

Articles like this always make me sad. I read this article on Vice and it conflated many different issues. I personally am a VA employee and know that this specific instance in the article, he did not report his divorce to the correct source. He had them removed from his medical benefits but not his disability…

Not under this administration, which apparently doesn’t count hate crimes by whites against people of color. Nor do they ever mention it. This is more than a dog whistle, it’s a tuba! I freaking hate these people who can’t see that we all belong here together. It’s the whole idea of our country, in spirit. I just wish…

At least they noted that he was well-dressed when he was murdering somebody.

He was radicalized by Fox News and Info Wars.

When will white people address their culture of violence?

I really want to see Trump get into single digits.

Correct, and so did Nixon. I think that’s about the level of the core constituency that’ll say they approve whether they really do or not.

I think the fact that he still has the support of %36 of the entire population, and not just the support of 36 people, speaks volumes about the state of our education system.

It stacks up to Bush’s second term rating, which is the barometer I use for the lowest a Republican can get. There is always a percentage who will support them no matter what.

OMG! I saw, and read about, that. People literally thought it was two different things - Obamacare and ACA. I was truly in disbelief at the pure stupidity of America. But then Trump winning became all that more clear to me.

This is why so many people voted for — and continue to support — Trump even as he promised to gut the programs they depend on for survival. They honestly believe there’s a fundamental difference between the “good” programs for (white) people in “legitimate need” that keep them afloat and the programs that exist to…

Those lazy brown folk who are the same ones taking away all the jobs.

Yes yes yes. These dumbasses thought Obamacare was something different from the ACA and now that they have learned it’s the same fucking thing, suddenly it’s “don’t take away my healthcare!” They were fine taking it away from the mythical lazy negroes and Mexicans, though, of course.

Trump’s approval rating is approaching the percentage of fuckwits in America. They may only be a percentage or two apart, but I doubt his approval will drop below, say 33%. Those idiots love that he lies all the time, love that he’s destroying America, and love love love being assholes just like him.

They showed one stitch per episode for about ten weeks

I guess I stopped watching at the end of the last season because I decided there was enough violence and dread and gore in the real world (especially politics) that I no longer feel the need to watch it on tv. When everything was great under Obama, watching Walking Dead made sense but now . . . no thanks. I’ll go…

Rick decided to sew his own asshole shut and live inside of a bird.

Yeah, I remember being thirsty all the time as a kid too. Water bottles weren’t really a thing yet. Adults need to remember that they are really in control of children- young kids can’t take care of their own very basic needs without adult help or permission. Maybe it’s a pain for adults, but it’s not fun for kids…

I remember being thirsty *all the time* as a kid. The teacher would line us up at the water fountain and chant “1 2 3 that’s enough for me” and it was NEVER ENOUGH. Also “leave some for the fishes”, fuck the fishes, I’m thirsty!
