My heart doesn’t cry for them because “Make America Great Again” has always been thinly veneered “Make America White Again”. My heart will cry for the victims of homophobia, racism, sexism, islamaphobia aka the real victims.

Is it awful of me that I’m so fed up with everything Trump breathes on at this point, I’m ready to just sit back and watch the fire burn?

It’s been proven over and over and over that the economy does better under Democrats. Were it really about jobs and wages and the general prosperity of workers this wouldn’t have even been a contest.

You’ll never go broke selling the idea that the shitty situation someone is in is not their fault.

I bet, if you asked, those people would fall all over themselves to explain that they don’t hate him. No way! They have black friends! This is just about the kids, you know? How are they supposed to explain a black Santa to their kids?

No see this is a common mistake. Americans care about an imagined group called “The Troops” that we pretend are a uniform-clad monolith, unwavering in their blind support of all governmental policies and love of conservative social thought. Actual veterans—individual people with real lives and their own thoughts and…

Sorry man I hate to burst your bubble but they’re just going to blame the Dems and the libtards.

You cannot work your way out of poverty in this day and age - it just isn’t possible. Corporations are ruining the economy. They have transformed the economy into something that works against human interests. People are more concerned about economic growth than sustainability, more concerned about maintaining low…

The reality gap will never be bridged by facts.

Here’s the irony: Trump might actually be successful in presiding over a booming economy for the next for years. Not because of Trump, mind you, but due to Obama laying an incredible foundation for growth.

the greatest trick the billionaire ever pulled was convincing the hundredaire he actually cared.

The decade old wonk-driven site backed by the Center for American Progress and for which both Matt Yglesias and Alyssa Rosenberg once wrote?

It’s almost like Trump doesn’t give a flying fuck about the common man.

Have you seen Zhang Yimou’s other movies? They do tend to give multiple characters focus—see Hero or Curse of the Golden Flower. It’s really not hard to imagine what he’s talking about if you’ve seen those movies.

YES. The vet groups that showed up are fucking amazing.

Hell yes, and don’t forget the veterans groups, each led by a Native American woman vet, who showed up to protect the water defenders. Now that is fucking American. Fuck these corporate, fossil fuel, fuck-the-environment bastards.

So, Austria rejected a far-right candidate and DAPL is stopped. It’s a good day! Let’s hope the results of the Italian referendum continue the pattern...and that this is a turning point after this no-good shitty year! (Louisiana senate seat; recounts and/or faithless electors, pleaseohplease!)

Seriously, he’s a perfect Santa.
