Absolutely heartbreaking what's going on over there, disgusting as well.

 

Not to say it hasn't been covered, but I don't think it's been covered enough at all.

 

Trump Was 'Directly Involved' in Hunt for Tweeter of Inauguration Crowd Photo

 

Oh, a black radical won in Mississippi:

I think we should be worried about the content of the secret post mortem

 

She's both wrong and not wrong....there's been a lottttt of quotes from Trump voters basically saying he was their pick because of abortion, and because of the SCOTUS pick, they were worried what a liberal court would allow.

But also, fuck those people. They were never going to vote Dem anyway. They came out to vote AGAINST the Dems, but that's a pretty different topic honestly.

For every person blue collar worker we lose, we'll get more in the republican suburbs. Lol

 

"Earlier, everyone knew better. In 1858, William Seward, a Republican senator from New York, gave a famous speech titled “The Irrepressible Conflict,” referring to the struggle between “slave labor” and “voluntary labor.” When Mississippi seceded, it emphasized the same point: “Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery — the greatest material interest of the world.”

Simply to recognize this material interest renders improbable the “needless war” notion. Mississippi was right: Slavery was the greatest material interest in the United States, if not the world. Slaves made up an investment greater than all manufacturing companies and railroads in the nation. Never has an elite given up such a stake voluntarily. The North went to war to hold the nation together, not to emancipate anyone. But the Civil War did end slavery."


Opinion | ‘Why was there the Civil War?’ Here’s your answer.

 

I don't know what sickens me more- the fact the Tory party is using bombs to kill people- literally advocating murder- as a campaign tactic or that it's a campaign that will probably be successful. This is honestly so gross.

 

I'm sure Clinton's memoir will be a good time for me

 

Donald Trump freezes funding to groups fighting right-wing terror and white supremacism

 

Watch Live: FBI Director Comey Testifies at Senate Hearing

 

Republicans/Trump own the ACA now. They're creating so much instability in the market by playing chicken with the CSRs.

 

This is our equivalent of Comey and Clinton's emails except it's all bullshit and May is blaming the EU for her own failures.
