The issue with unions is like that of vaccinations, the U.S. Constitution, and other institutions we’ve taken for granted: We’ve had them work and working for so long that more than a few of us start to think that things were always this way already. So what do we need unions/vaccines/institutions for? They just want…

“Ancient Atlanta was more than just a Delta hub. It was a vibrant metropolis, the equal of Paris or New York. Look at these fabulous ruins. Turner Field, the Coca-Cola bottling plant, the, uh, the airport.”

Yes, when “basketball” is a stand-in for “you are black and therefore you should not be playing hockey.” It’s clearly intended to reference a racial stereotype, and deploying it to taunt and unsettle a black man makes it obviously racist as hell.

Democrats did not lose leverage, it never had it with the shut down.

Christian Fauria has some free time, maybe NBC could hire him for his insights into Asians.

“It is a statistical fact that if you are born poor in this country or if your poor due to inmigración if you work hard enough and are a bit smart you can make it to being very well off.”

Yeah, I’m not so sure I don’t believe that poor wants want to “stick it” to brown people and “the libs” far more than having clean drinking water. They’ve never voted in their own interests before, I’ve no belief that they will all of a sudden start now.

Vegas is currently quoting the odds of releasing the Democrats memo at the 1,000,000 to 0.

As far as racist caricatures go, I still prefer Marge Schott.

And therein lies the beauty of the ruse. It’s like tug of war theater.

Christ alive, I just read that memo. How many illiterates are running our government again? This is astonishingly poorly written, with numerous errors, yet it’s the final copy they handed out.

Fuck that wall - it is a monument to bigotry and hatred and wouldn’t even do what the Trump propaganda says it will. If, in 2018, Americans want to fund such a thing with taxpayer money (instead of Mexican cash as was previously promised), then let’s start a racist GoFundMe campaign, and they can all chip in for it. I…

I should add, and this time we won’t go soft on them after we kick their asses either. That was Lincoln and Johnson’s mistake that still haunts us today.

In my lifetime this nation will formally seperate. There is going to be an economic civil war. Blue states are getting real damn tired of subsidizing red states, and being told they’re not “Real Americans”, and getting screwed by an unbalanced electoral college.

I hear he’s got binders full of immigrants he’d like to bring over!

“we all know that Oprah would probably be a great president”

If there’s an afterlife, I’m going to find Lincoln and ask if it was worth it.

Hell yes the math works out. I’m not going to put this much effort into my snark just to have some math Nazi say “you’re full of shit, the numbers don’t work out like they should.”

That’s fairly common republican voter logic. They used the program as designed, used it as little as possible, they deserved the assistance, and most importantly, they felt the proper amount of shame the whole time they were using the program. Unlike “those people” who use the same program in a bad, undeserving,…

I think it’s called Hosr
