We put up with 8 years of Bush and a stolen election. Fine. We put up with 8 years of them obstructing Obama and calling him a Marxist and Kenyan, and the constant death threats, and all that other bullshit. Fine. But I am not putting up with even a day of Donald Trump. I'm done putting up with their fucking bullshit.

As a liberal, I have no interest in courting racists unless and until such time as they reform. They are not good people.

Trump ran on calling all Mexicans rapists. He ran on wanting to kick all Muslims out of the country. And now he's saying we should play nice and hold hands and sing Kumbaya? Fuck that!

I was wondering the other day - why do people hate liberalism so much? Why do people hate progressive values? Is it because of the "not in my backyard" variety of conservative? Is it because they don't want to understand how the rest of the world outside of their bubble? Why do people hate liberalism and progressive values? I think the sooner we answer that question the better off we'll be.

They need safe spaces. They need people to tell them what to think. They can't stand differing opinions. They love the fake news. They boycott anything that doesn't even slightly fit their agenda. They are the biggest hypocrites on the planet.

It's apparent now that we need a law that says if you're calling it news, it must be NONPROFIT, or you run a disclaimer before and after every break that says it's ENTERTAINMENT ONLY.

Failure to comply gets your license pulled and your ass gets a 10 year ban from all cable, broadcast, and radio.

Fuck them for making a third of this country provably stupid.

They like to wrap themselves in the flag but could give 2 shits about the actual people that live in this country.

The flag is a symbol. And people who wrap themselves in it and justify their actions by pointing to it are "symbol minded people."
