It’s also illegal to be influenced by foreign governments, and to keep for-profit businesses. So far, no one in power seems to be willing to challenge Trump on any of his bullshit illegal plans and tactics, so legality hardly matters anymore.

If the Trump Administration takes any lesson from that,

...purging federal employees because of their political beliefs is extremely illegal.

If the Trump Administration takes any lesson from that,

Now now, it’s only McCarthyist when you direct it at Russia. Against neoliberals it’s just good business. /s

They have no incentive to follow the law. Republicans control everything. Almost none of these cabinet picks would be allowed with a typical Republican president-elect. Having Trump allows them to put people in power they only could have dreamed of! Hopefully lawsuits will be one of the few ways to control their…

It is extremely illegal, but the GOP is going to have the entirety of the federal govt under their control. They could easily just make what is illegal, legal or just ignore it since they sure as shit aren’t going to punish themselves. They could just wave it off as a RIF and that would probably be the end of it.

Yes! I’m proud of them for refusing to go along with this. They will probably still get purged, but I’m glad they’re like, “Fuck off, Orange. We know what you’re trying to do.”

I put it in the same category as Pence showing up to watch Hamilton after all of the fucked up things he’s said about and tried to do to LGBT people. You shit all over us, and then you want us to sing and dance for you and make you laugh? No. Fuck you.

I find it profoundly upsetting that an antisemite is making money off a show made by and about Jewish people. I don’t have anything clever to add, just that despite the fact that this matters a lot less in the grand scheme of things than the other fuckery going on in the administration the idea of this made me cry.

Try this:

I’m pissed that Steve Bannon exists on this earth.

Yup. I’ve been saying it for years, Democrats need to stop being so naive and passive and stop trying to be “bipartisan”. Politics is dirty and if you can’t accept that, don’t be a fucking politician. Republicans don’t give a shit about bipartisanship, when they control Congress or the Senate they bulldoze through…

Bingo. It’s like when my parents, upon me telling them that I was being bullied in middle school, said “Smile and ignore them, and they’ll stop!”

I’ve said this through the entire election. Democrats/liberals insist on fighting by Marquis of Queensbury rules against an opponent who is eye gouging, kicking us in the nuts, and using brass knux. I don’t care if she’d have been called a “bitch” for it, Hillary should have demolished him in the debates the first…

Apart of me is tired of having to listen to people who voted for Trump talk about how they feel alienated and how their feelings are important, too. I know my feelings and other groups are not important or don’t matter to them. They either don’t see me and other groups as people or don’t consider us important.

YES. This is one of my biggest problems with democrats—they don’t fight back. They don’t want to play dirty. And so they get ran over time and again. This is not the time to “give Trump a chance” this is a time to listen to what Trump told us he believes and believe him.

I see no reason to give shitstains like this the benefit of the doubt. They had a chance. And they voted for Trump. That was their chance and they fucked it up.

You know, Malcolm X once said what I think is something that was, on reflection, deeply conservative and deeply true. To paraphrase his longer argument from the Oxford Union Debate, if you can’t count on the institutions that you vote for to actually protect you, you are in no way to blame if you stop adhering to…

How the fuck do you even change these aspects of society? I keep hearing from people “now we have to fight harder than ever”, etc. But what the hell does that even mean when you have shit like THIS?
