'Tis a sad fact. I should have put a qualifier before "compassion and tolerance," for, as we know, the Obama administration deported millions of people, radically increased the inhumane drone warfare program, continued Bush's unconstitutional mass surveillance program, and financially and militarily supported Israel's

Things we also lost in 2016: a competent executive branch that emphasizes values like compassion and tolerance over hate and fear.

Yeah, it's almost like they don't really understand the concept of freedom (except for allowing corporations to treat workers like slaves and destroy the environment)…

I'm sorry, friend, English is not my native tongue!

So, in other pleasant news, our old friend Ted Cruz, not to be outdone by President Fuckface's blatant bigotry and xenophobia, recently introduced a bill that would, for all intents and purposes, label CAIR a terrorist organization. What a time to be alive!

Try 59 years of Louis XV. Christ, what an asshole.

Senator Chris Murphy summed up the situation nicely (particularly for a politician): "We bomb your country, creating a humanitarian nightmare, then lock you inside. That's a horror movie, not a foreign policy."

Hey, asshole, reproductive rights are not the only thing I listed as being threatened by this President Fuckface. Cutting women's health programs (like Planned Parenthood) and programs designed to help women facing violence (http://nymag.com/thecut/201… are anti-women policies. I understand you're a troll who's out

That's redundant - Paul Ryan is not capable of expressing human emotions like "joy" outside of a shit eating grin.

With regards to policies, there's the threat to severely restrict women's reproductive rights (he even threatened to punish women seeking abortions during his campaign), ending mandatory contraceptive coverage in healthcare, de-funding Planned Parenthood, overturning Roe v. Wade , etc.

At this point, might as well just give the land back to the Native Americans. We've overstayed our welcome.

Let history be a guide, my friend. Many initially believed the protests against the Vietnam War were futile - both sides of political class actively supported the war, as did the media, the campaign donors, etc. Yet, the protesters, many young college students, minorities, women, etc., were resilient in their cause,

The worst thing one can do at this moment is to fall into despair. Sulking achieves nothing. What we need to do is to foster, support, and lead a robust, visible movement which actively fights against the GOP's agenda of economic, social, and environment injustice. We can't let President Fuckface undue all the

But could you imagine the real horror show which could have unfolded if a woman with e-mail problems was elected?

Vote GOP: because greater corporate control of the media epitomizes how a vibrant free press should function…

If you threaten to cut our extremely bloated and wasteful military budget by a single dollar, then you obviously hate America and Jesus Christ, pinko!

This looks like a tale told by an idiot.
