Member when America wasn’t a nation with a narcissistic, self obsessed baby-man as president and we weren’t teetering on the edge of political violence as a daily possibility? When Nazis were ashamed to speak out for fear of ridicule, before the internet had become a wretched hive of villainy and Pepe memes?

Remember when Obama let the Germans bomb Pearl Harbor?

It’s quite literally one of the most disheartening things about Trump’s presidency, to me. I just can’t see a light at the end of this tunnel of deliberate ignorance.

Member when Obama just sat in that kindergarten classroom while the twin towers were under attack? Pepperedge Farm remembers.

Yeah, unfortunately Snopes is now FAKE NEWS because they fact check stuff.

Unfortunately, by Snopes publishing an article saying that Obama was not president during Katrina, they’ve only reinforced the Trumpists’ conviction that Obama was indeed president at that time.

Putin’s bottom bitch! I love it (the phrasing, not the subject).

When I lived in Russia a few years ago, a man attacked me and attempted to pull my pants off in broad daylight in a subway station in full view of a cop and the cop did nothing, even as I kept yelling “stop” in every language I knew, including Russian. I had to punch him hard a few times to get away while the cop just…

His narcissism prevents him from realizing that he is being used. It’s why people like him can be easily influenced because as long as you feed their ego, they will do your bidding. 

I don’t think he realizes that Putin probably wouldn’t let him just fade away. Putin likes to tidy up the loose ends.

The whole “Putin is more virile and Anerican than Obama” bullshit that Fox was shoveling resulted in their base electing Putin’s bottom bitch. And yet tbey still quote Reagan constantly.

His ego is absolutely that monumental, which makes his active participation in Putin’s machinations all the more pathetic.

Putin’s also using Syria to destabilize Europe. The bombing campaign which forces refugees into Europe, igniting racism, etc. is all part of his big plan.

The most dangerous people are the ones who believe their destruction is for the greater good, or working for a higher cause.

His friends have said he’s fully aware of what he’s doing in terms of where his information/leaks are coming from; this is supposedly all a desperate Hail-Mary on his part to destabilize enough nations that want him so he can simply slip out of the Embassy and retire to some quiet corner of the world in the ensuing…

Assange is interesting, because I get the sense that he’s convinced he’s on the side of the angels and he could never be co-opted. He seems like he’s got a real Manichean streak and thinks that anybody opposing American/US hegemonic secretiveness must be a good actor.

So can we all just admit at this point that Assange is just Putin’s tool to wreck democracy?
