The people who still support 45 are nazi/fascist asshats and they’re hoping he’ll become dictator so that they can then depose him and take over themselves. Thinking that he’s some senile pushover - but he isn’t. 45 is an expert grifter with delusions of his grand dictatorship. He has literally been playing senile and…

In any system where there are people who make more than any thousand laborers and workers under them, and can escape with paying little more than what those laborers make, there is systemic injustice. A wealth tax such as the one Bernie proposes is literally the bare *minimum* necessary to even *begin* to redress the…

She doesn’t want to be the person who pushes 45 to declare himself president for life. For some reason, she’s terrified of even remotely challenging him. Perhaps she’s seen a psychological profile and is scared shitless of him. Maybe she’s been corrupt herself and doesn’t want the shit spilled onto the floor for…

Contracts are the one thing I absolutely keep copies of. Multiple copies. Digital copies, hard copies, final copies, signed copies, in multiple places and sometimes also in a bank box.

For my cats, I set up a set of feeders near our sliding door for birds.   They sit there, lined up, and I renew their subscription to the food network every few weeks.   They are indoor cats, and are happy for it.   But they do enjoy a good chitter at the birds.   

If the head fits, the rest will flow through as the cat will do.   

I have zero problems voting either Bernie or Warren. In a ranked choice proportional ballot I’d vote both. :)

“I was just following orders” in whatever language it was uttered was the preface to every story about every great tragedy in our history. And the words that every monster who revelled in killing, raping and assaulting innocent people hide behind when they are called to account for their actions.

The problem is that so long as we have a society that values individual exceptionalism at the cost of everyone around them and rewards sociopathic objectivist ideals with power and wealth (often mistaking sociopathy and objectivism for decisionmaking and leadership) then the people in charge will just ignore this. It…

... So Führer Fünfundvierzig Fucklechuck McOrange Crusty-Pants chose someone with exactly the same brain-state as he as a personal gofer. Color me *yawn* surprised.

There are some people who think they’re Sanders supporters and... well... aren’t really Sanders supporters. People who Bernie would likely toss out onto the street if he identified them in his house. And given some of the nasty shit I’ve seen people do while trying to hide their identity while claiming to identify…

If it were anything else I’d agree. But it isn’t. And after this election, the people who vote democrat won’t be in any position to do anything ever again but what the Republicans and 45 tell them to do.  And for the most part, the Republicans will be doing their speaking with bullets.  

There’s a reason the horse bit him. 

Canadians seem to be very good at saying “Sorry”, in my minimal experience.

Well... interntional politics and history became very significant to me once DJT threw his hat into the mix. I started looking around, and the New Democratic Party does align with quite a bit of my values. If I could have something like that to vote for I would in a heartbeat. Seems like most of the politicians…

I’m afraid to think about what my fellow Americans would say about a Sikh in charge of the closest thing to a democratic socialist party with actual significant representation in North America. And sadly, I’m pretty sure that its not too far off from what more than a handful white Canadians think of it. :/ First past…

At this point, Democratic Socialists can hardly do worse than Dolt 45. Boy Gorge has been actively fucking with the stock market. I guarantee every dip and jump has turned him a profit. Unfortunately for him, he owes half a trillion US dollars to Putin’s gang.   Russians tend to collect eventually. 

Well, in a proper “bailout” the money would have been used to stabilize the workers and people being affected by the poor decisions of their parent companies. Thing is, the current mentality is: “Save the business and the business will save the people!” That never fucking happens. The big bosses of the business pocket…

Those right-leaning pieces are well paid for. If you think about it for just a second, there are no truly independent news sources - they are dependent on dollars brought in, meaning the news you see isn’t news, its paid-for opinion schlock. Granted, someplace like Splinter probably have reporters that can sleep…

We shouldn’t have “bailed out” gm or any of the other companies that were collapsing back in 2007 and 2008. If they want a capitalistic society so badly, we should have let all the corporate victims of economic instability flounder. Instead they were bailed out and now after record year-on-year-on-year profits, GM is…
