Speaking to the choir, my friend! It’s pure hypocrisy. Most of our family (my husband’s and mine) are similarly situated in ideology. These are hard times, when you’re fighting against feelings of frustration and dislike for the people you actually love. Thankfully our children share most of our ideology with regard…

Another thing that’s sad is that they ruined perfectly good concepts by lying about what they were doing.

Well, my sympathies to him, and I’m glad he recovered well, but to be frank the reason it’s difficult to obtain disability is to prevent exactly this kind of situation. I’m surprised he didn’t get a continuing disability review; they exist for situations where somebody has been unable to work for a long time but is…

“I pray that God leads our leaders”

This, ITA. I find myself becoming more and more progressive as well (though yes, I did vote for Hilary in an effort to avoid the current situation. Though being in California, my vote didn’t make much a difference).

I like to check Foxnews.com every so often just to see how they spin the Banana-in-Chief’s idiocy.

exactly. i am done trying to appeal to them. I will concentrate on the progressives that have been disillusioned by the political process. We need to focus on the energy felt right now and if we stay on message, that we are the party of the working class, not just white working class, but for all americans, then we…

I eagerly await their delicious tears. And then watch them bitch and complain even HARDER about the liberal coasts who are fighting for them with legislation and protesting and organization.

His supporters still think trickle down economics is brilliant.

Hey um just a heads up, as a disability attorney, if he’s very active and is capable of working full-time, he really shouldn’t be on disability. The system is meant for people who are unable to work full-time at any job. He might be committing fraud if he is currently working (in which case, you’re not the bad person…

One of the most impressive things the GOTP has done has been to convince these folks they are but one paycheck away from the 1%. When they are mostly but one heart attack away from foreclosure. I see it across income groups too. From the factory workers who own boats and trucks and off road vehicles and RVs they…

So I guess Clinton’s assessment of “trumped-up trickle-down” is no longer such a bad-mom-joke matter, eh kids? Because she fucking PEGGED IT with that phrase.

A middle class that is now officially smaller than the rich and poor combined.

I found some pretty accurate political cartoons, but nothing specific for your request. This will have to do:

In the US, we like to pretend that we don’t have a class structure and that everyone has equal opportunity. But in reality, we’ve had a class structure our entire history, and whites who were near the bottom are now realllllllllllly resentful that the brown people, gay people, etc who used to be on a lower rung are…

Thanks for the support, and I am here for you as well. I can be thankful that we have resources to fight, but to think the goal is to help companies make more money so they will trickle it down is tragic. If the ACA is repealed Mr. Penguin will exceed most lifetime limits (more than $1M so far), and that will be a…

You have to wonder WHEN it reaches critical mass and these fuckers WAKE THE FUCK UP and realize they are being conned and have been voting against their self interest for 30 fucking years! (Sorry for my language but I’m mad! ;-)).

Why would they realzie this? You just described everything that happened in the last 30 years and they STILL voted for the very people who did this to them.
