Democrats don’t show up to vote by and large because they are gerrymandered to shit, many states don’t allow early voting and, of course, POC are disenfranchised from the system.

Pretty much. Ellison and Perez both want the 50 State plan back which is good.

How many votes did Jill Stein get again? 100 million, wasn’t it? So close! If only a few Hillary voters had just had the good sense to vote for the dumbest candidate in the election, we’d be living in Candyland!

Gotta love spite voters.

Can’t wait for the Jill Stein voters to say this validates their votes in 2016, and refuse to support efforts to elect Democrats in 2018, because, really, when you come right down to it, Trump’s policies don’t really affect them very much.

I dunno... The NYT has been ripping pretty hard into the Trump administration. What are they supposed to do, post Trump’s picture on the front page of every issue with the headline “This Fuckstick Is Fucking Hitler, Ya Dumb Shits”?

They are pulling this to take our attention away from what was reported this morning: the “administration” pushed the FBI to report on their Russian narrative. Eyes on the prize, all the time.

Yup..

My sincere fear however is that the education system is just going to slowly wither and die to where parents strictly blame the issues on local schools and administrations, and therefore continue to believe the false idea that “totally not influenced by education” makes you somehow more qualified to fix the issues.

Or even their constituents well-being. They are the sheep they manipulate for votes.

Here is a woman who clearly had no qualifications at all for the cabinet position that she was nominated for. This was absolutely made crystal clear.

Republicans seem to be determined to eradicate common sense from our society.

Very important that he has a gun. Less important that he has access to mental health resources. Yes this is the GOP logic.

Which is why black folks should donate to the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund at naacpldf (dot) org

The NRA and the ACLU agree that overturning the rule will protect vulnerable citizens from “government overreach.”

“Guns aren’t the problem, mental health is!”

But why was it botched? Did seal team suddenly get careless and stupid after hundreds of missions like this? Or more likely, it was botched because the administration rushed the raid so Trump could fellate his ego with a big, exciting “I killed some terrorists” story during his first week.

He won’t offer any comfort. He’ll make this a talking point about Obama setting up this raid so the bloods on his hands. He’ll then go on to excoriate the military and intelligence communities for their SAD left wing agenda and finally he’ll fire the people who dare tell him the truth about what happened

Trump is Commander in Chief? Trump approved the raid?

I think a lot of stuff like this happened under Obama as well (maybe more drone strikes and fewer raids?). But I also think that it’s going to get far, far worse under Donald. He’s so concerned with seeming tough, and has so little capacity to make good careful decisions and so little concern for other people…
