This is an extension of the “not in my lifetime” falsehood. When the switch was made from horses to cars in cities the critcial point transition happened in less than a decade. Most people who just a few years earlier believed they’d never see cars become popular or ever not have a horse in their life suddenly watched…

Capitalism demands you constantly grow, continuously, at a constant an exponential rate.

We can thank cadet penis fingers for one thing - he’s reminded us yet again that active malfeasance is certainly worse than bureaucratic apathy. Maybe not by much, but its something he’s likely proud of.

We’re really verging on the point where these systemic attempts to abuse migrants could be credible called crimes against humanity.

We owe it to each other to be kind... generous... and to love and to accept people for who they are. Part of that is realizing we can’t change them or fix them and sometimes we can’t even get close enough to help - they won’t let us. But we can change ourselves and make ourselves better people. And if we can work…

If 4-5% of Republicans can be convinced to reject Trump or not vote, it may make a difference.

Agreed on PETA.

What you have been taught about Capitalism, communism, socialism and various other -isms is a bunch of lies designed to make you not question your reality. Look up the real definitions of the words from a dictionary. Socialism, for example, is the control of production in the hands of the workers. The conflation with…

Yeah, no matter what happens to 45, he’s going to be martyred in his follower’s eyes. He is literally their Jesus*.

I’m seeing shadows everywhere with what’s going on. I was just describing the other day how a government could use climate change as a method of “exterminating” people - by leaving them trapped in areas where severe weather will happen, not providing the infrastructure to allow them to survive it, and pulling back or…

*sigh* This thing describes most CEOs and Republicans. The word salad, the alternating blame/lie/blame/lie cycle... the projection of faults onto others. It feels as though we’re going to have some very hard choices to make in the near future. And the only reason they’re hard choices for us is because we’re not them.…

Whatever the real illness was, never underestimate things like the flu. The flu kills quite a few people annually. And you don’t have to be in bad shape or health for it to do so even though it is currently rare. Your immune system can just fail to stop it before it does terminal damage to a critical organ and *poof*.…

Pence realized that there would be all these young men (potential victims) that might tempt him away from mother. IT would be their fault, of course, and they’d need to be... reeducated after (lobotomized/ECT)... but all would be as Jesus (Fan-fiction version that exists within the minds of Right Wing Christians that…

*sigh* In most things they can escape it, from a legal standpoint. Because a person can believe their “intent” no matter how false we know the claim to be (or how inhumane/wrong) but when it comes to describing past actions, that’s where you get into the realm of perjury and misrepresentation. Porkchop gets around it…

And this address is how I know that this fucking asshat didn’t give one shit of concern about the suffering he saw when he went to see those refugees in the concentration camps. All he had to do was say “yes - we denounce this racism.” But you can see him here twisting into knots to avoid doing so. He doesn’t believe…

Why, that would require infrastructure spending and eliminating the for-profit aspects of the hospital system. :) Of course, the for-profit management companies and insurance systems will say: “But! You’re going to have to pay doctors LESS and you won’t get SERVICE!” Mostly because their republican buds will do…

Thing that really pisses me off is that the level of reprimand will likely be a mild reminder to “not say the silent parts out loud, please.”

Stephen Miller is a Nazi along the lines of Goebbels... and is (fortunately for us) rather inept at doing a similar job. Unfortunately for us, eventually 45 will stumble across someone who can do the job correctly. Other things to note about Miller: he is also a fascist. But lets face facts - Nazis are fascists with…

I don’t need a beautiful private room with visions of palm trees and sunny beaches when I’m recovering from a life-threatening illness. I might be willing to pay for it myself later, but I’d be happy that if I didn’t have the money if I were recovering in a good, clean hospital with good care and with three other…

One of those weapons will be far more reliable than the other.  Otherwise they’re the same picture.
