Where are all the right wing Loons today?
One good thought does not equal X x uncountable tweet blunders and self incriminating tweeting,and yes, Rump is nuttyer than a 30 year old Christmas fruit cake.
Is Rumpty Dumpty crazy? Does a bear shit in the woods? Is th Pope a Catholic? These and other curious question will haunt me in my sleep.
As the old Southern saying goes, "crazy as a betsy bug."
What has Trump ever done to display mental stability either before or since the election? Of course he nuts, just watch the look on his wife's face when she stands near him. If his claim of the largest inauguration crowd ever wasn't proof of his Hitler like delusions, I have no idea what would be.
Crooked Donny's entire life has been one giant delusional farce, but hey, three out of ten still approve. Problem is, Pence would rip this country apart just as well as Trump is doing.
Why do we think a first time for everything solution doesn't apply to a hostile power fomenting an illegitimate election? Our founders were not spooked by George III just because nobody had declared independence from him before. I'm damn well sick of hearing that there is no option here. I know one thing..."whenever any form of government becomes destructive to the ends where the consent of the governed is not honored, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it."
All his noise is the smoke screen while the republicans attempt to sneak the illegal destruction of the social security system, commonly referred to as corporate raiding.
Trump wants N Korea to send some missiles toward Guam. That would give him the excuse he needs to start a war. For all its bluster, I don't believe that N Korea is suicidal. I also doubt that there is much chance that even one out of four missiles has a decent chance of actually hitting land, and don't believe that they have developed a nuclear bomb that can be delivered by a missile that is likely to actually detonate. They have tested fission bombs and shot missiles, but have never combined the two technologies and tested them.
Bitte, all you rational Republicans (if any still exist), at least for the sake of your own enkelkinder if for no one else, call your representatives today and every day to demand this truly dangerous, scary clown be stripped of his office before he acts out his delusional stupidity any further. On what grounds? Meine Gott, get your head out of Fux New's arsch!
is he crazy for calling out big pharma for their crimes against humanity?
No, Thom,
WE are crazy! We keep electing either neo liberals or neo conservatives (Bill Clinton, Barack Obama) or idiots (GWB, Donald Trump) to high office. Isn't that Einstein's definition of "crazy"? Doing the same things over and over again, expecting different results?
And here, folks, is a classic example of false equivalency, utter hypocrisy, and a despicable liar in denial.
Yup, concerned citizens protesting hate groups are the same as neo-Nazi f*ckheads who came to Charlottesville itching for a bloody fight, dressed up as the dim-witted clowns they are in ridiculous, homemade riot gear, like in the movie, "The Gangs Of New York."
And who died or ended up in the hospital? Not a word.
Speaking of dim-witted, go back to your beloved Fux News programs and savor the false-positive coverage of your favorite white-nationalist, neo-Nazi-sympathizer pussy-grabber, who constantly spews out hatred and viciously lashes out at nearly everyone except fellow authoritariians like Putin, Duterte, and Erdoğan.
and what will happen now?
agree with you.
Absolutely lovin' reading your hateful posts all the while knowing you can do nothing but throw tantrums for the next eight years. Ever tried alcohol?
You have two ultra fringe groups both intent on provoking the other. Which one is the more civil? My book says they both are trash and deserve to be treated as such. Thom dwelling on one group of assholes while ignoring the actions of the other is very telling but exactly what I would expect from a leftie/socialist.

Besides the removal of ALL confederate honoring statues and such we need to rename ALL 10 of our military bases names after condeferate generals.
Camp Beaureguard, LA., Ft. Benning, GA., Ft. Bragg, NC., Ft. Gordon, GA., Ft. A.P Hill, VA., Ft Hood, TX., Ft. Lee., VA., Ft. Pickett, VA., Ft. Polk, LA., Ft. Rucker, AL.
ALL need to be renamed!
I wish I could set my sights on a positive route forward but all I can see is the bottom 85% declining towards a third world dystopia over the next 5, 10, 15 years......sad......
Actually, no one has forgotten that except Generalissimo Manbaby, who evidently thinks nuclear conflagration would be the quickest, easiest way to "free" all the people of North Korea from their fat, blustering dictator. What will it take to free us from ours?
By his own many actions and words, or lack thereof, especially his wimpy and muddled reaction to the violence and hatred of his far-right base in Charlottesville over the weekend, the Republicans' fake president has demonstrated repeatedly to the world that not only is he a Putin puppet but also a neo-Nazi sympathizer.
And THIS is the goddamn fool whom the "religious" right's fake god has chosen to lead us out of the "valley of the shadow of death"??? Perhaps, instead of paying alms to their fire-and-brimstone preachers, Republicans should just pay their fair share of taxes and shut their lying mouths. The world would be a better place.
For those that must be wondering what ever happened to Fire and Brimstone. Fire and Brimstone is so terrifying, significantly worse than Fury, that it has been reserved for describing Hell only.
I want to say yes, and no, I hear they country is divided, I think it is to a point, but I am not sure, (the Oligarchs try to keep us divided, and have succeeded on many fronts)we do have a problem with racism still 400 years later.
My first question is: are other countries using their prison systems as for-profit labor? Part of why we have so many incarcerated citizens is because our governing bodies are part of the New World Order bent on squeezing the life out of us. And the second reason for our current prison system is to squeeze profits out of hostages. Our current legal system has nothing to do with justice or appropriate learning situations. It's about coming up with any excuse they can think of to steal from us. Last year I got my very first moving traffic violation. They nailed me for almost $400.00. Having to pay a penalty USED to be about our safety and well being. That's just the excuse they use. They are abusing their office, their power, and us, all at the same time. And our prison system is no different. It's just more abuse. The people who are in power have no business being in power. They are bona fide sociopaths (if not psychopaths), narcissists, and people who are basically criminals themselves. It is our fault for letting them get away with this.
...because the "Good Lord" is a violent, petty, little diety who loves war, liars, and the rule of money -- worshipped by gullible fools who created "Him" in their own image.
I am amazed by most of the comments here from the left. You people are afraid to the bone of Pres Trump when your concerns should be focused on the little pot-bellied dictator in North Korea. He is the one who is unstable. He is the one who is unpredictable. He is the one with nothing to lose.
For decades the US (Wash DC) both parties have done absolutely nothing about NoKo. Look at where it has gotten us. Thank the Good Lord we have Pres Trump instead of Hillary.

You would just trample all over the US Constitution, wouldn't you Heph.
Maybe it shouldn't take millions to become POTUS. But then how do you explain the fact that Hillary spent millions more than Trump and she got beat?
Oh, and please review the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution. " ....the right of the people to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievences..." = lobbying.

fff Trump....he's the biggest numbnut I've ever seen in my 60 years and I've met countless numbers of the mothers....McConnell and Ryan are a extremely close second.
