Thanks for bringing this up, it’s a huge deal.

Awww. Denny Hastert. I haven’t thought about him in a long time.

I heard someone say the exact same thing about this today on a podcast (can’t remember which one, I’m listening so obsessively to so many of them n0w).

Look how young he looks there, before all the garbage these same fuckers dished out wore him down. I forgot he ever looked that way.

Thank you.

I was told that an NPR story this morning was about how Trump’s base is fading away. Apparently the people that voted for him for financial reasons (of all the idiot reasons to vote for Trump) who were willing to tolerate racism, sexism, and fascism in order to get their taxes cut are beginning to realize that he’s…

But Trump will get us all blown up by terrorists, or North Korea, or gun nuts, or all of them plus others I haven’t thought of right now. We can fight Pence in the normal way, especially if he cuts the social safety net into a million pieces it might make it possible to take back the house and Senate in ‘18, which…

Absolutely.

I understand why you feel that way, but I can’t agree. Trump is too dangerous.

No, it’s smart and wise. We have to remember that if Trump is removed we’ll have Pence. We need to have some bridges with the more “reasonable” republicans, or at least the ones that are in danger in 2018, so that we have some allies in stoping the right wing as much as possible in the multitude of ways they want to…

This is a very flattering picture. I think it captures him well.

Well, you did say “White America would rather kneel at the feet of Putin”, which does sound a bit like #AllWhitePeople to me. However, if it isn’t what you meant, then I’m good with that.

I don’t see it happening any time soon. Why they are still happy GOD ALONE KNOWS, but there it is. I guess it’s because we’re still upset.

Wouldn’t that be something amazing?

I don’t know. It’s a good question, though honestly with the way people change their minds with every shift of the wind I’m not sure what it all means. I mean, three weeks before the election the pussy grabbing tape came out. People couldn’t keep that in mind for three weeks.

I know I am.

This is a happy thought, but I think your outlook is too sunny. Maybe I’m just bitter and tired, but as far as I know, Trump’s approval ratings among Republicans is still around 80%. The party doesn’t give a fuck about the rest of us, as long as they keep their base happy and as long as so many of the rest of us don’t…

Pretty sure it would be a decline in support for Trump among republican voters.

Fine, whatever. But white people are going to loose their health insurance, and white people are going to get slaughtered in super storms and starve due to famine and pestilence just like everyone else. It’s not like every single white person is an asshole who supports Trump, and every single any-other-color person…

Ugh. Yes.
