Without Trump, though, they don’t have that uncanny charisma to be able to direct all the crazies in maga. They basically lose all their power.

Sometimes you have to push through a bramble patch to get out of the dark woods and into the garden.

They were trying very, very hard to pretend that was a leftist attack so they could justify all the things they wanted to do themselves.

Thing is each time the sane ones jumped ship leaving room for crazier and crazier leadership. In the meantime the ones that left keep pulling the other side further right.

Create the problem and take credit for undoing it. This is all Trump has ever done.

The Onion has always had prophetic qualities. It’s just the world is so strange now its predictive power is near real time.

I really don’t care to defend Schumer,

Then stop doing it. You’re making yourself look foolish to put it as charitably as possible.

There are only two systems in which rights cannot be taken away. A system with no rights in the first place, or a system with no living beings to have rights.

The point of inalienable rights, is they are the rights which must always be fought for and protected no matter the cost.

Not just a pedophile. He was a fundamental cog in the trafficking of children.

Ooh, looks like someone just noticed the writing on the wall.

We were over that sort of thing in 2008 when we elected a black president with three equally scary names. I can still remember every single time I was forced to listen to conservative talk radio back then they’d play the soundbyte of school children saying “Barack Hussein Obama” over an over.

He still got reelected.

He was more anti-establishment than anything else. He was also famous enough to be in the big club we’re not in.

It kind of explains a lot, actually.

It doesn’t matter if we think it isn’t true since they and the courts do.

There’s no satisfaction in confronting reality.

I’d say “enhanced” counts as half slop.

It’s just an ai upscale, actually. I really wish people wouldn’t do that. It makes trying to find signal in the noise so much harder.

As long as more than two people still exist, something like this meme will be reality.

If that’s actually him, then good for him for covering it up. I’m still not sure if I believe he never knew until now, but at least he’s willing to put in the effort to change himself, quite literally.

If I had Chinese symbols saying I was a nazi tattooed on me, I’d be at the nearest open parlor to get it covered up the same day I learned about it.

If he really did somehow just learn about it during the campaign, it should be gone by now.

Edit: which apparently it is, so good on him for that.
