I HATE HIM. i HATE HIM. I HATE HIM.

The only thing I can thank him for is the distraction of how my own country is just as fucked as the US'

I HATE THEM. I HATE THAT I HATE BUT THEY ARE SO WORTHY OF HATE WHAT ELSE CAN ONE DO.

Just sayin'

Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the 'master race'


Graphic Mine.

As seen at a white supremacist racist rally protesting BLM @ Stone Mountain on Friday and Portland on Saturday. Far right buglaoos and confederate idiots - who have the rather misguided belief that they are genetically superior to everyone else - is all Trump has left. Do you think these far right tools get up in the morning and think 'look at how superior I am'? Heh. Nazi be nazi.

They really think they are the master race.... the mind boggles.

This is perfection - Still I Rise - Maya Angelou - Kamala Harris



How perfectly splendid. Just wonderful. How utterly appropriate and fitting. How beautiful. 😍

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

A question rooted in this tumultuous time



It is because the nasty party have no sense of irony, are hypocritical to the nth degree and demand a standard from the left that they could never apply to themselves because it would display their rotten hearts in a way even they could not ignore, oh and...



A patriarchal white privileged male and stale society is always going to try and cling onto power by othering and demonising communities who refuse to speak the language of the oppressor.

We are all nasty women. Huzzah!



And Trump and his enabling misogynistic cabal can fuck right off.

Prime time hearings, now.

https://twitter.com/davidplouffe/status/1294270933931372544
1) Prime time hearings, now.
2) Subpoenas to Trump WH and camp officials. This is a RICO case
3) Visit local post offices with cameras - show people what is happening.
4) Events with those getting Rx late
5) Involve governors
5) No rest, no vacation. Go to war for our country.


He is right, this is a war. And Trump has to be made aware that breaking the law and the Constitution into pieces is not something America will stand for. So as the Senate buggers off for a do nothing holiday until at least Labour Day, other political agency must be deployed. If the normal checks and balances are screaming at the edges, new checks and balances must be brought into play at this very dangerous time not only for American Democracy but global stability.

A bunch of snivelling sycophantic cowards enabling a sociopath to try and steal democracy

Do you think Republicans have always wanted to live in a totalitarian state? Have they sold their soul to the devil because of their desire to be bullied and cowed by an idiot, for life? Their behaviour would certainly seem to suggest so. Matt Lewis noted in his column in the Daily Beast it is easy to see a scenario whereby ‘Trump’s attorney general casting aspersions on any ballots that aren’t counted on Election Day and issuing a report declaring Trump the victor. If that happens, I’m 100 percent confident the brave Republicans in the U.S. Senate will stand up to Trump. (‘Uh, we’re gonna have to wait and see,’ said sycophantic Senator X, ‘but it does look like Democrats are trying to overturn the results of a fair election.)”

You could literally see them supporting him as he tries to steal an election which we all know would result in him setting himself up for a life in the WH and a dynastic inheritance for his horrid children. America will become the largest Banana Republic in the world if republicans enable him to remain in power if he gets the spanking at the election we all expect. They knew what he was when they lied and protested his innocence at impeachment – at great risk to the Union - and one can only suggest that they are him. The lies. The deceit. The ignorance. The arrogance. The racism. The misogyny. Such obnoxious, crude, narcissistic and selfish behaviour for power for powers sake. They are all guilty of it. They have already given up on the American Experiment for power and for Daddy Trump to be dear leader for life…

M. Scott Peck once said "I have learned nothing in twenty years that would suggest that evil people can be rapidly influenced by any means other than raw power. They do not respond, at least in the short run, to either gentle kindness or any form of spiritual persuasion with which I am familiar." Exactly this. They need to be routed up and down ticket so they have no power left to support the sociopath who is blatantly trying to steal an election because he knows that it is extremely unlikely for him to win any other way.



(Oh and just as an aside Pompeo condemning the election in Belarus while he continues to lie and deceive on behalf of a president would do the exact same thing given half a chance is all of the ironies.)

This should happen every single time Trump holds a press conference

Journalist @svdate asks the only question you need to ask Donald Trump.


Do you regret all of the lies? LOL. When a liar gets asked that question it is always funny to see what bluster they can come up with. Trump could not even manage that. Lying liar needs to be called out for the lies every single time he tires to hold a rally using the press core cause he can't hold his Nuremberg rallies during a pandemic.

When your spatial awareness is for shit and you trip over your PJ's and land in the bookcase



Ouch.

Maybe I should have put this up close and personal picci into the August photography which is about your macro/close up shots. Of course it would get no votes and I am just looking for sympathy. But in the meantime if you want to submit something the link is here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/103677759
