80. You know, a lot of the 'Hillary is a warmonger' folks, as you call them, were decent

Fri Apr 14, 2017, 01:44 AM

Apr 2017

people taken in by Russian hacking. There were people putting out memes right and left.

But you know what? Those same people are now in the 'resist' movement, with their US Senators and Representative on speed dial, signing petitions, donating to the DNC, and demonstrating regularly.

Honestly, I've never seen people this galvanized around politics before. That's the silver lining in this shit-brown Trump cloud.

Comments like the one you're making don't help us much. Please don't be divisive. Everyone feels like SHIT because a fuck-wad like Trump was elected in the first place - we wept that night, and YES WE VOTED AND WE SUPPORTED CLINTON.

Now, we're in the biggest danger of nuclear war since the Cuban missile crisis. Unfortunately for us, while Kennedy and Kruschev were both SANE, Trump, Bannon, and Tillerson are NOT, and in addition they are stupid and mean. It's a really bad combination.

Right now, we need to FOCUS WITH SINGLE MINDED INTENSITY on getting this orange puppet OUT of office and cleaning that corrupt house.

In short NYC, we need to be HITTING THE STREETS, NOT EACH OTHER.
