YoungDemCA's JournalThe Republican Party today is not the Party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, or Eisenhower.
They're the Party of Ted Nugent, Sarah Palin, and yes, Donald Trump. They're the Party of Right-Wing Junk Food - with flavors like brusque racism, angry misogyny, contempt for poor people and other "Losers," meat-headed anti-intellectualism, and just general all-around chauvinism and jingoism.
Our unworthy adversaries. Fuck these assholes.
Anyone else think that Trump is driving everyone fucking mad?
Because madness begets madness, apparently. 
It can't be just me.
Your daily reminder that the Republican Party as a whole is evil.
Not just Trump and his base of deplorables.
That is all.
I find it interesting that some in the anti-"SJW", pro-"free speech" crowd...
...demonstrate their "defense of free speech" by threatening women who speak out about women's rights/feminism with rape and murder.
Seems very "principled" to me! 
Remember when Timothy McVeigh called the 19 children he killed "collateral damage?"
Seems like terrorists have "evolved" to explicitly targeting children, adolescents, and their parents. 
RIP to all of the victims in Manchester. My thoughts are with and my compassion is toward the victims' families and other loved ones in this terrible time.
Re: Donald Trump's physical+psychological health and lifestyle...
Let's see...
Trump doesn't sleep, doesn't read, doesn't exercise, and subsists on fast food, soda, chocolate cake, and extra scoops of ice cream. Also, he's a total narcissist who seems genuinely incapable of creating real human relationships (you know, the kind that people basically need to survive, long-term).
Gee, I can't imagine why he's not an Olympic fitness trainer!
Definitely not a narcissistic man-child. Not at all.

Along with much of the American economy, of course.
The Social Security system has grown increasingly reliant on this stream of revenue, particularly as aging Baby Boomers start to retire. Stephen Goss, the chief actuary of the Social Security Administration, estimates that about 1.8 million immigrants were working with fake or stolen Social Security cards in 2010, and he expects that number to reach 3.4 million by 2040. He calculates that undocumented immigrants paid $13 billion into the retirement trust fund that year, and only got about $1 billion in benefits. “We estimate that earnings by unauthorized immigrants result in a net positive effect on Social Security financial status generally, and that this effect contributed roughly $12 billion to the cash flow of the program for 2010,” Gross concluded in a 2013 review of the impact of undocumented immigrants on Social Security.

There's a simple reason for why liberal/Left talk radio isn't really a thing - two words, actually.
Clear Channel. Or as they are now known, iHeartMedia.
Ask Natalie Maines (of the Dixie Chicks) just how fucking liberal or even ideologically "balanced" Clear Channel/iHeartMedia is - a for-profit corporation that has as much as a third of total market share in American radio. They sure gave her a fair hearing back in 2003! Free Speech, amirite?
(I created this thread in light of the recent trend at MSNBC and the "librul lamestream media" meme more broadly, BTW.)
