this is why Chuck and Nancy and Bernie and the Clintons et al. need to be retired; their 20th century diplomacy and idealism are just not suited for this point in the country’s history. The GOP has shown an absolute willingness to assert its power whenever possible, to obstruct any legislation unless they get their…

This.

I think there was a point when it seemed important to show he was lying, because it was so obvious and brazen. But then it became clear that a lot of people didn't understand they were clearly lies, fact checks be damned 

It took them so long because now they don’t need him and they’re getting off the sinking ship. Sad they wouldn’t stand up to him all these years, but here we are.

I think most people who have pointed out right-wing fascist tendencies growing since the Bush years can now feel thoroughly vindicated in saying “I told you so”.

All the “you’re being alarmist, what will you do when a REAL fascist shows up?” people – the whole half-of-an-electorate of them –have proven conclusively…

Yeah, the Republicans gloves are already off (and have been for a while). If Democrats aren’t willing to do the same, we’re screwed. Democrats are busy taking the high road while Republicans are hauling ass on a shortcut through the woods.

It wasn’t that there wasn’t much they could do. There was absolutely, positively, completely NOTHING they could have done to stop this.

BuT i Am VoTiNg CoNsCiEnCe!!

If every vote really counted, we wouldn’t have an executive branch and a judiciary built by and for conservatives.

From experience most “third party” types in a two-way race tend to be white, middle-class, and with few financial committments.

And there it is. I hope everyone who didn’t vote for Hillary because of their stupid fucking principles sees what happens when you purity test yourself into oblivion. Oh? She didn’t inspire you? Maybe losing your health insurance will inspire you.

I don’t blame Democrats for not stopping this nomination, or for not doing a bunch of procedural shit or whatever to delay it....it was a foregone conclusion no matter what. But now, there is no coherent argument I can think of to not expand the court, except “Well, Democrats might not win the White House or the…

If voting white women voted like voting black women in 2016 this wouldn’t have been an issue.  I am just going to sit over here with the African American women that went over 90% for Clinton in 2016.  I expected better from white women (I’m never doing that again) because I definitely knew white men ain’t shit. 

Mitch McConnell won the war. His eyes were on the prize and he knew exactly what to do to get there. While so many people made excuses for why a woman could not be president, McConnell seized every opportunity to establish the foundations of a Christian theocracy in the United States. Every vote counts.

I love this.  It sounds like Larian is working hard to account for some of the out-of-the-box thinking that happens sometimes at the table.  Reminds me of the time my DM got a new monster manual back in the 3E days.  The DM was eager to try some of the new variants in the book, so he threw some crystalline trolls at…

Yeah, I think this is a legit reason to dox

You can stay grey. This whole thread is about saying what you said and not sugar coating it to make people feel better about their apathy towards what is going on. I for one don’t think Cannon should have apologized. White people can be savages and people have a lot of sympathy for Jews because of the Holocaust but…

Troll in the grey area. Where do you get your facts? From your lumpy shitty ass? Nick Cannon didn’t tell a single lie. Annnnnnnd dont talk to me about calls for violence when black people are still getting killed by cops. I submit to you sir that you can eat a whole dick. Wipe your ass with your opinion and fuck all…

I am glad she wrote that she was NOT ok. It’s been time to make white people uncomfortable. White folks, these are your friends, family members doing this BS and we are supposed to not react so you don’t feel bad about not saying something to them about this racist shit they do and say? 

Could these imbeciles be as stupid as to use their real names on this Zoom?
