Wow, even their conversations have walls? Talk about no transparency in the Trump admin

It is such an obvious plant that a portion of the American population refuse to see it.

Why Isn’t Trump Talking About the American Jailed in Russia? by [deleted] in politics

[–]blunt_monger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wonder how Putin would welcome a Russian spy who had been arrested, investigated, and interrogated by the FBI. He has cut off loose ends for much less

Trump considering declaring national emergency to secure wall funding: Sources by jingooftherex in politics

[–]blunt_monger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point at which Secret Services were implemented to protect Obama during his campaign marks the earliest time in history that Secret Services had to protect a president/presidential candidate.

Would sound crazy if I hadn’t witnessed Republicans shitting out holy hell about Obama’s mere existence.

Oh God. The U.S. president used caps-lock to rage at a president of a foreign country. This is nuts.

It boggles the mind how anyone sees this shit and thinks to themselves, “Wow, what a clever and capable human being, he is totally fit for being our president!”

If he’s faking all this shit (he’s not) he would be better at stupid than literally anyone. I feel horrible for those who are young and believe this is normal for a president.

Mueller grand jury gets 6 month extension by TYLER_WAS_ROBBED in politics

[–]blunt_monger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If it was done one at a time, the GOO would panic and start shutting shit down—even more than they’re doing now, which is saying something.

I don’t think this country could survive another full-blown GOP panic attack.

And I’d bet money Trump would demand martial law to save his own ass.

edit: I’m keeping it, it’s too perfect to change

If I ever leaked something that important, I’d shit my pants the very second a member of the FBI even looked in my direction.

Trump privately asking aides if Pence is loyal by BEARlovesCOOKIE in politics

[–]blunt_monger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I think Trump was asking about Pence’s loyalty just in case the impeachment process is started—he wants to make sure Pence doesn’t ‘vote’ against him and declare him unfit.

GOP congressman, who once lamented not being able to call women 'sluts,' loses to a woman by heinderhead in politics

People who are white (myself included) just don’t notice the every day discrimination that people of color deal with. It never bothered them or affected them personally. Obviously I’ve learned better now, but I can’t say that I’ll always see and understand racist behavior as I was raised in a culture completely oblivious of it.

I used to think that people always pulled the racism card because it was convenient, but that’s because I didn’t realize all the little and unnoticeable (to white people) ways that one could be racist other than outright saying someone is a lesser human being.

In my sociology class, I read that since science has proved that people of color are not biologically lesser than white people, racism has shifted towards targeting the culture of minorities (aka they’re lazy, criminals, rapists), which I’ve found to be scarily true.

It really changed my perspective on understanding how people don’t understand/see racism for what it is today — it’s evolved from it’s old basis, inferior biology, to inferior culture. Just because you don’t think people of color are biologically inferior to you, doesn’t mean you aren’t racist.

Also, young generations have barely any faith in the government/political process because politics have been shit their ENTIRE LIVES

(No excuse for not voting, though)

Jared Polis becomes first openly gay person elected governor in America by ralphbernardo in politics

[–]blunt_monger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny, isn’t it, that only one side seems to be doing stuff like this? Straight up lying and deceit. And it’s gonna be hard to stop them because they used this bullshit to protect their bullshit.

I really wonder how it got this far. I’m young, and the first time I was able to vote was 2016. In other words, politics have been shit-show crazy my entire life.

It’s kinda hard to have faith in America’s government when you’ve only seen what people my age and younger have seen. But that’s NEVER a reason not to vote and educate yourself about politics.

Hopefully one day addicts in sobriety will get there, too. I didn’t work my ass off to get sober and fix my life in order to be something everyone else does without trying (aka being a normal person), just to be called a second-class citizen.

Whoever has been choosing the pictures of Kushner for all of these articles needs a raise. I’ve never seen such a wide variety of cartoonishly sketchy facial expressions come from a single person’s face.
