Why are you asking a mindless drone any questions?
Did you mean to quote GuyKazame? Because I think he is those things.
I agree it's awful
If Jesus is like the Evangelicals say he is, Jesus can go get fucked.

Fuck Trump. Fuck Republicans. Fuck anyone who voted/votes for them.

Sadly, Jesus was, potentially, better than modern Christians make him out to be. If half of them actually adhered to his most important teachings, we wouldn't be having a lot of these problems. Culture Christianity is holding back progress in America.

No, I was adding to the shit piling on Trumpets.Did you mean to quote GuyKazame? Because I think he is those things.

oooooh.
I know people that are happy about all this too. Either because they think their paycheck is going to go up or they just want politics to burn.

This would be a bad decision by Abbas.
If recognition is about the Oslo Accords, Netanyahu bragged about tearing those up years ago, in spirit if not in word. This would just bring everyone on the same page.
As a whole, we really are dumber than dumb.
Keep in mind that the leadership in Congress does not care. Ryan and McConnell were apparently asked about their response to Trump pissing off the Mexican president and they essentially responded that they'd let him worry about foreign policy.
They don't care.
They.
Do.
Not.
Care.
They'll burn decades' worth of US alliances and destroy its international world influence. At least, those two will keep doing it because they know that their voters in Wisconsin and Kentucky will vote for them no matter what. They don't care what happens to this country. They don't care about what happens outside of this country. They don't care. They really, really do not care. They're going to drive this country into an abyss and have their fingers in their ears going "lalalalalala" the whole time.
There's no word for this type of irresponsibility. Is it nihilism?
I'm honestly afraid. The Republican party doesn't even seem to care what happens next week. The only ones in the party that even think a bit about what they're doing are from purple or blue states.
How do they even imagine the results of their actions? Do they imagine anything? Are they capable of imagination at all?

Things Republicans care about...
- Making money at anyone's expense
- Getting re-elected
- Disavowing climate change
- Telling women what to do with their bodies
- Making it more difficult for Democrats to vote
- Obfuscating any form of accountability
- Purifying the white race
Am I missing anything? Because I intentionally left off job creation, the environment, the American people, foreign relations, being honest, etc. They care not for these things.

Aside from the possibility that they are just morally bankrupt people, which I won't rule out, I would say that most politicians in a democracy are only as good as their constituents. Their base is composed of people who are either politically detached, monetarily motivated, devoid of empathy, religiously committed, or just generally uninformed about the world outside of their immediate community, which mainly consists of other people like them. They preside over stagnant communities and present stagnant ideas. As long as their constituents don't bitch, what motivation do they have to change?
This is why the EC needs to go. It gives too much power to people who choose religion over education, party over country, whiteness over everything else, and don't see the big picture, who end up electing people simply because they are sufficiently white, claim to go to church every Sunday, and promise to keep the brown people from taking their shit.

You missed LGBTQ people getting married, adopting children, using the bathroom, or buying baked goods.

I'd say I hope they do this every week, but I'm not convinced it would matter either way.

It would be funny if it wasn't so true
That insurance one makes me happy
"throw Obama in jail!"
"I'm on Obamacare as I am unemployed. Am I going to lose my insurance?!"
When a racist picks hate over their own well being.

Hey look, drive by shit-posting. Likely all we can expect from Trump supporters in these threads instead of actually defending his words and actions. They sure do take after their dear leader.
To be fair, it seems most are incapable of rational thought and likely unable to form more than a single coherent sentence when pressed.
It might be best to expect nothing more.
Not to mention siding with the police who murder unarmed black people.

re-convince him to get rid of it. Fair fight, immediate higher rating.
Amusing post history.
Yeah I barely bother with these people anymore. Not willing to post sources, evidence, anything to back up their claims that what he's doing is good, etc. At this point, if they're STILL supporting him, I just assume that they're either stupid, racist, or both (I find that the two typically intersect on the Venn diagram). Sometimes I'll muster the energy to say something like "Here's why you're an idiot," and post a source, but that's about as far as I go these days.

"John Gore, Trumps pick to serve as deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Departments civil rights division, has only ever fought civil rights cases as the lawyer defending the people accused of violating civil rights laws."
Literal fucking jaw dropping lol
They're not even trying to appear decent.

This has been the longest week I can remember. Every day has been crushing, and we're just warming up. The full effects of this catastrophe won't be felt for years.

Doubt it. Most people will just complain about it and not do anything. It would be something for the history books if 100,000 people rush the white house to overtake it though.
That's because as long as people are given the basics (food, clothing, shelter, health, hope) they're willing to keep quiet about things. But this guy, this fucking guy is threatening to take even that away.
