Wonder if people will start using Mars as a future destination during when Trump is into his 2nd term? (just typing that sent a chill down my spine...)

 

Pretty much the world saying fuck you to us, and us largely ignoring it.

Exclusive: Chiquita Is Blocking a 9/11 Victims’ Bill

 

Chiquita is unironically not joking at all one of the worst companies on earth

 

Am I missing something? I thought this bill had already passed Congress and President Obama vetoed it. The Senate voted overwhelmingly to override the veto and the House is expected to do the same.

 

That article is from over two years ago

 

Banana republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The way Trump says "ChiNAH" reminds me of Doctor Evil...

B-A-N-A-N-A-S

 

this one?

 

Well Gwen is the queen of cultural appropriation

 

literally exactly what I kept thinking about during the debate.

 

Or how Clinton, finding that white racism was something that could win them elections, pushed welfare reform.

"One cannot overstate the level to which this backlash was linked to race. Internal Democratic Party research had determined that white voters had turned away from the party in large part due to a perception that Democrats were the party of handouts to minorities.

Conducting the largest study in its history, the Democratic National Committee found that white voters in focus groups were describing the Democrats as the “giveaway party, giving white tax money to blacks and poor people.” (The results of the survey were so ugly and embarrassing that the party quickly suppressed them, destroying nearly all copies of the report.)

Another study of white Reagan voters, by future Clinton pollster Stanley Greenberg, concluded that “[t]hese white Democratic defectors express a profound distaste for blacks, a sentiment that pervades almost everything they think about government and politics . . . Blacks constitute the explanation for their vulnerability and almost everything that has gone wrong in their lives, not being black is what constitutes being middle class, not being black is what makes a neighborhood a decent place to live.”

The data also confirmed that race was at the heart of the welfare issue specifically. An attempt by sociologists to determine which other beliefs were statistically correlated with support for welfare reform found that: “the one thing that did predict a negative view of welfare was negative beliefs about African-Americans, particularly a belief in black laziness” as well as “stereotypes of black women as being sexually irresponsible.”


Clinton's Responsibility

Yet another reason never to vote for a democrat.

 

Since the debate, the fierceness of Clintonites is disparaging Stein supporters or people who won't vote for Clinton has intensified noticeably.

It seriously feels like the Sanders movement never happened. What is there to show for it? Clinton pivoted right and picked a VP who is even farther right than she is, and Stein is polling at 5%.
