    Among the great tragedies of our time is the fact that this slimy rapist dirtbag conman isn’t already yesterday’s news. Fade the fuck away, Donald.

    The American right are beyond pathetic that this whining fat orange bitch is the best they’ve been able to come up with for 3 consecutive election cycles. At best he’s a distraction from the shit our country needs to do and at worst he’s a danger to the entire world, us included. Demented dotard belongs in jail and nowhere near the levers of power.

    I’m genuinely creeped out that someone saying these things can have so much support. Honestly I just want to go home and hide under the bed. A year ago when people said things about Trump like “authoritarian” and “fascist” and whatever else it was kinda true but also some hyperbole. Now it’s just plain true.

        Exactly. Anyone saying Trump criticism was just hyped up bullshit is a straight moron, or completely in denial. Sure, he’s just saying it plainly now, but it was really fucking obvious previously.

      Because someone else wrote it.

      Trump is a moron and can barely string a sentence together when he is winging it. When he has a prompt and someone he owes money to tells him what to say, he is as eloquent as he can be.

      I feel like the only one who sees through the bullshit. I feel like I’m the only one who has realized that trump isn’t a smart person nor good at speaking unless he has a script to follow that he can’t diverge from because as soon as he does the crazy cat lady is on display.

          From what I see here and previously on reddit and when I was sort of (but not really) active on fb. I definitely feel like that or at the least I’m one of only a few willing to call out insanity and try to educate others so we all have a better future.

          If more people like us would step up and be more active online and off, we may have been able to avoid the whole trump in office bit to begin with. I know that most us are not spotlight friendly and would rather just be left alone but we can’t live like that for the foreseeable future. Not until enough of the maggats and their leaders are in jail or barred from politics for life.

          I was telling everyone I knew about trump when he first ran this time around. Even in my circles I’m an exception who knew what trump was and has known for 30+ years.

    Sure sounds like Trump is a big threat. I may not know much but it seems like cutting off arms supply to Israel would be a bargain if it means this guy doesn’t get elected again. I’m sure some moderate will come in and educate me on why they should get to have their cake and eat it too.

Hundreds of posts every day. They either aren’t very well (unlikely), or they are an agent of some kind. Don’t feed the troll.

            I think Biden makes compromises. That’s the leftists argument against him. But here he’s probably weighing the cost of pissing off a Jewish block of support and leftists.

            I also doubt it’s much of a choice. The leftist won’t support him regardless because he’s not bernie sanders.

            Are leftists a minor wing that’s too small to be compromised with? Because if so it’s impossible for us to hold democracy hostage. Moderates are the majority voting bloc. They bear the lions share of the responsibility for any outcome. They elected Joe Biden in the primaries, they’re responsible for how he does in the general elections.

        Why do you think that regular voters get to decide who the DNC candidate is during a Democratic incumbent administration?

        If you abstain from voting because you equate Biden to be as bad as Trump, Trump will be the next President. Don’t be a fucking idiot.

              Keep smelling your own farts and patting yourself on the backs for being better than the republicans though, hopefully when trump wins again you cowards will finally get a taste of your own medicine.

        I’m not happy about that, either, but my choice is between someone who’ll maintain the current level and someone who’ll make that genocide even worse and try to start one HERE, too. Both options are bad, but one is measurably and obviously less bad.

              No, I just think human exceptionalism is disgusting. We’ve driven 70% of all species to extinction, and continue to drive 150 more a day. If we found an organism that kills all the other species around it permanently, we would do our damndest to eradicate it.

          The one thing Trump won’t do is start WW3. There are only two nations with nuclear arsenals that can threaten MAD, and the other is holding his leash.

        The fact that anyone thinks electing Trump will somehow improve the Gaza situation is absolutely baffling to me.

    I saw it myself on televised cameras. There was nothing “alleged” about the disgusting and utterly degrading assault of America than happened on January 6th, conducted by the lowest forms of vermin on earth. I saw it myself - it did happen.

    And furthermore, any human being who casts a vote for an excremental piece of criminal vermin like trump should be considered dangerously ill and NEEDS to be stripped of their American citizenship and their voting privileges. Society cannot afford to have sick cretins running around loose. Lock them up, or at least build gas chambers to get rid of them all for good so we can move on from this horror.

      I’m frustrated too, but this is the rhetoric of the people you’re railing against. Please take a moment and regroup.

        I AM NOT SIMPLY FRUSTRATED, I’m outraged beyond all measure of words to convey. I AM SICK TO DEATH OF ALL OF THIS GOD_DAMN MALARKY AND NO ONE IS GOING TO TELL ME I SHOULDN’T BE!!! I SAY IT AGAIN - I DO NOT NEED TO “REGROUP” OR BE BETTER THAN THESE FILTHY IDIOTS!! WHAT I NEED IS TO SURROUND MYSELF WITH PEOPLE AS HORRIFIED, OUTRAGED, AND TOTALLY FED UP AS MYSELF!

        WE can, And we MUST take up arms against these vermin, and one and for all give them a good god damn taste of their own medicine.

          Funny thing though: the other side says the exact same thing.

          Of course, they are brainwashed and full of hatred, but again, they say the same about us.

          I’m just trying to say: you’re right, but the other side isn’t going for trump because they’re insane. They’re going for trump because they allowed themselves to be fooled, but they really believe all the crap trump is feeding them. These aren’t so much evil geniuses as gullible people who want what they think is best. Since they’re told were all evil and out to get them, well, they want to get rid of us. The age old “divide and conquer” strategy.

          The more you go “kill em all” the more they will too, that will lead to an ugly outcome. Even if we win, we still gotta live next to them, they’re our neighbors, our family, our friends. Maybe focus your anger on those that are riling them up, that tell them to hate. Trump should at this point -frankly- be shot for treason, same for his kids who are very involved. Their followers, however, should be shown and made understood that trump is hatez that trump is lies and corruption.

          But what you’re saying is literally what they are, just in the opposite direction.

          And to be clear, I think of the two choices that you’d be correct. However, saying people need to have their citizenship revoked because they vote for someone you don’t agree with is the opposite of democracy. Just because you don’t agree doesn’t mean you get to throw out the rules.

          You’re just being what they are.

            Gee I wonder why democrats always get shit on /s. Guh let’s just wait for the politicians and corporations to set things right. They have our best interests in mind. Meanwhile Republicans are literally barging into house and taking over. Fucking spineless. It’s okay the most important trial in us history is about to get dropped because fani needed a booty call. … from a Canadian standpoint. Your fucked.

      This is very antidemocratic of you. It’s treating the symptoms and not the root cause. While I agree that trump and his supporters are vile, we should not advocate for removal of citizenship or voting rights of anyone.

      Trump exists because of a flawed system, not flawed individuals. We need to fix the system or will continue to get Trump after Trump

          We should just ignore his fascist ramblings and not mobilize people to vote against him? Nah. This stuff needs to be broadcast as widely as possible. Sorry if you’re bored though. Spend some time away from social media I guess.

      Trump is in the WWE Hall of Fame.

      His venues have hosted Wrestlemanias, and he and Vince had a hair vs hair feud that culminated in a Wrestlemania match - Trump won.

      No idea why this isn’t brought up more - the WWF in the late 90s was incredibly vulgar, racist, and sexist. And Trump intentionally associated with it. Why is that never discussed?

    There’s the quiet part that gets said out loud.
    then there’s the part that they think, loudly.
    Then there’s the parts that are so oawful, they even think them quietly.  
     
     
    I’m convinced CPAC is the last part, there.
