perhaps we could just offer them ketamine
Remember the way he was grinning all afternoon before the rally? He had it all planned out, and he couldn't wait to unveil it. He even gave it away in tweets that day, mentioning he'd be talking about the squad at the rally. It's his campaign's Phase II strategy.
Shit, man, that chant was started by his own plants. The TV president is complaining about staging. Pfft.
Also, notice how he claims her crowd is staged? Every criticism Trumpkin has ever uttered has been projection, so this just proves to me that his pathetic crowds are sprinkled with paid plants.
I think Omar’s warm and wonderful welcome home from her constituents at the airport is the real story. It’s the thing that triggered his newest complaint, anyway; notice him jeering at her crowd size? He’s pissed that she won her election by a landslide & her people love her, while he couldn’t win a plurality &…
Oh, just drink in the morning like the rest of us.
Comfort yourself with this: It’s going to get even worse for him. He is really starting to lose any semblance of the ‘grip’ he thought he had before.The man is legit in panic/paranoia mode.I’m getting immense satisfaction watching him get more and more desperate. He’s going to be the agent of his own demise. He’s…
Elizabeth Warren has a plan for that, and, to my vast entertainment and eight, the day after she announced her plan, the stocks of every publicly-traded private prison company fell sharply.
I am so glad somebody like Cummings is in a position like that.
For what it’s worth, I hope all of
I mean, that DOES explain how every depiction of slavery I’ve read or watched in TV/film has mostly dialogue that goes “Hey! Get over here, PERSON! I will whup your PERSON ASS if you don’t get back to work! Goddam PEOPLE!”
Look, nobody else was available! They asked around. Everyone else was too busy being free to do the slavery.
As if reducing African slaves, human fucking beings, down to just units of labor under the scope of economics isn’t racist on its face.
No, you’re making perfect sense and these are the type of people who enrage me. “Incurious” is a perfect word for them. They’re the people who understand the evils of the world but never care to question it or work/vote in the interest of combating those evils. They’re the people whose lives are barely affected by…
These are the same people for whom devotion to a local pro or college sports team makes an acceptable stand-in for an actual personality or identity. Their political “ideals” are no different. They don’t care about reason, or logic, or truth. They’re just rooting for “their team,” because they don’t have—they…
That essay and the concept of “ur-fascism” more broadly was making the rounds not too long ago. It’s incredibly relevant, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem like there’s any real penetration into the American psyche. It’s not the people who read the New York Review of Books who need convincing, generally speaking.
I wish I could say it took more than a quick cut-and-paste from Wikipedia to demonstrate her point. But jeez:
Really impossible to argue otherwise, unless you willfully distort the meaning of the term “fascist”. Authoritarian nationalism focused on bringing benefits to the “true people” and bringing back their golden age while targeting and scapegoating the “bad people” who are the cause of all ills. Trump’s rallies…
Another position (which is the one I run into with my Trump-voting female coworker) is that they stay willfully ignorant of the news. They act like the current political climate is just “so toxic” and “so complicated” and so irrelevant to their actual lives that they can’t even bother to care. So when asked about…
