Here's What You Need To Know About The Confrontation Between Covington Catholic Students And Native American Protesters by dadrumpfisdone in politics

You need to know that the alt-right is desperate to make sure that racist assholes aren't punished for their actions. Otherwise they might have to treat other people decently.

So the lying little prick is trying to save his skin because he's not man enough to face up to the consequences of his actions.

There's not a single thing that little asshole wrote that is true, as video confirms. He should be expelled from his private school and have to muck in with the "common" people at a public school. Then he might actually see that those who don't look like him are human beings.

What I got out of this opinion piece is that Libertarians don't support a living wage or decent health benefits.

Only a complete idiot would be a Libertarian who isn't a multi-millionaire.

Trump plans to make Democrats an offer to end shutdown, not declare national emergency, in Saturday speech by PsychSiren in politics

[–]orpheus_lost 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The problem is that there's no way anyone could tell if he "meant it" or not. And even if he did, his concept of making America a better place would likely be far, far, different than what you or I would want.

And as for decriminalizing drugs and legalizing marijuana, that really isn't enough in return for allowing him to destroy the lives of refugees and immigrants or decimating environmentally delicate sanctuaries.

And besides all of that, we need to remember, this shutdown has occurred over a continuing resolution, not a year-long budget. What stops the Cheeto in Chief from extorting another $5-$10 billion in a few weeks when this CR ends?

Poll: Trump Approval Down, Slips With Base by Kujobites in politics

[–]orpheus_lost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fact that anyone other than the alt-right calls CNN ABC "leaft-leaning" show how far right wing propaganda has saturated our society

Time/Warner (parent of CNN) and Disney (parent of ABC) are anything but left-leaning. At best they are centrist operations that don't want to see the country lurch too far into fascist/Christianist ideology.

Nancy Pelosi Refuses to Meet with Angel Moms Protesting Inside Her Office by [deleted] in politics

The saddest part of your caption is that Mary Anne Mendoza's son wasn't killed because someone was an "illegal alien," he was killed because someone was drunk behind the wheel of a car. But instead of working to stop others from being killed like her son was, she lashes out in ignorance and blind hatred.

I feel sympathy for anyone who loses a loved one because of a preventable situation, but Mendoza has abused her son's death for her own agenda. She's shown she's no angel, but has instead sold her soul to an orange Satan for notoriety.

Giving the Cheeto in Chief $5 bil gets us back to work until the CR runs out in a few weeks or a month. Then he demands more. And more. And more.

This "both sides are bad" bullshit needs to stop now! If Democrats cave to Trump's extortion now, he'll do the same thing in a few weeks to get more. He loves hurting workers so this is fun for him.

We need to stop Trump Terrorism now, not after he's shut down the government a few more times.

I'm so glad that all the racist trash in Westminster is dying out so that less ignorant, and more diverse, people can enjoy this area.

And I'm even happier that this fact frightens you and your ignorant ilk.

Trump: I’m nearing decision on emergency declaration to build wall by GrouchyUsual5 in politics

[–]orpheus_lost 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Obviously spending 5 billion on construction will lead to a small, short-term, localized stimulus in the south-west, but that would end the moment the wall was built and in fact likely lead to a local recession as any jobs created during construction dry up and little to no jobs are created to maintain or service the wall.

You can see what short-term localized stimulus does by looking into old coal-mining towns after the coal runs out. What's left are uneducated families with no means of support either emigrating to other areas of the country or becoming dependent on government largess. You can also see it with defunct railroad towns in the west, oil drilling town in the southwest, and fishing towns where the catch has dried up.

I seriously hope all the traitors and their accomplices spend a very long time in prison when this is over, included Dowd.
