"Irish need not apply" [View all]

You'd think that an asshole like Mike Kelly would be a bit more tolerant, a bit more understanding of the challenges and discrimination people like those represented by The Squad face every day.

I'm disgusted.

What happened to the post-racial America Obama's election represented?

Hint -- It never existed. Made for a nice story, but it never existed. It only temporarily forced the vermin amongst us into the shadows.

But, ultimately, Obama's election energized these cretins. It just made their blood boil that a Black family lived in the White House.

The question now becomes do we become a full-on fascist state? Or do the good amongst us rise up and tamp down this festering pus?

I guess we'll know come November 2020. Hopefully before that (if, as I hope will be the case, Trump is removed from office).
