Better not tell Trumpy that.

Disclaimer: THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT TRUMP!

I did not see slavery, lynching or racism in your list misinformation about Republican Presidents, Alexandrite.

How can you see anything with your head that far up Trumps rump?

You don't have to be dishonest hack Corky. That's Jeff's job. Just sayin

You didn't have to vote third party and enable the coming maga hate machine all because democrats were just not pure enough for you.

Democrats try to make amends for the past.

Republicans try to cover it up distort it or just ignore it.

Failing that they try and use it against their opponents. As though they had nothing to do with it.

"Welcome to the the Fourth Reich America."

We would never call it that. Too Hitlerish.

We might call it the Corporate States of America though.

Our motto could be:

E Pluribus Cha-Ching!

Finally I look for this order to go to court.

Everything is subject to litigation.

You look for it to be delayed denied and deposed.

I look for this order to be adjusted as necessary help Californians recover.

You really don't understand the issue do you.

#20 | POSTED BY ONEIRONAUT

You really don't understand how much Trumpy hates Californians.

He will find a way.

It is The Way. The MAGA Way.

Finally I look for this order to go to court.

No worries!! Don't you worry your little two sizes too small heart about it.

Trumpy bill sign a bill to slow down recovery for victims of the LA fires just as soon as he can!

Bye bye Miss American pie ...

Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry ...

"Call me when the current Republican party condones slavery, lynching and burns down a prosperous black town."

That was then and this is now.

The south also started a war in which 600-800,000 Americans died.

Let's talk about now.

The current Republican Party are xenophobic misogynistic election deniers and who supported a violent attack on our nations capitol in an attempt to overthrow democracy. And is still trying to undermine our democratic institutions.

Call me when democrats do anything similar.

"So those Republicans too, so we have all Democrats, and some Republicans have blood on their hands"

Not being a native you may not realize this.

If your parents and grandparents are all from here then you have blood on your hands. (Yes even the Native Americans.) We all come from a violent greedy gold lusting bloody slaver past.

All of America has blood on its hands. Democrats are trying to come to grips with this. Republican seem to want to deny it and try and change history and pretend America is a bunch of peaceful virgins.

This particular agitprop is pointless and mute. Try another.

"I also know a very, very small minority of them are --------- who need to go, and the the good officers REALLY want to see the --------- gone."

I don't doubt you may have some insight.

But for such a "very small minority" you have to admit they sure do seem to grab an awful lot of headlines. And not in a "good officer" way.

"That's a lot of suckers and losers."

Trumpy's gonna need all that cannon fodder to expand the Empire.

And when people reflexively declare his public utterances a distraction, I sometimes find myself wondering: A distraction from what?

I don't wonder at all. I think they (including even Trumpy) know exactly what they are doing and are distracting us on purpose. Because they can't solve the real problems.

They are distracting us from the actual problems Americans face, thorny problems that are difficult to solve, to problems they think are easier to solve and that will benefit members of the oligarchy.

"It's better to just laugh at how ridiculous and clownish they are."

Agreed! Always look for the funny! It's in there somewhere.

Like the alcoholics say. There are some things in life we cannot control. But there are some things we can.

Best for most of us to hunker down and do the best we can as we always have.

But if you are in a position to do something you should. And I hope you feel the pressure to do what's right. Because many of us can do nothing but grin and bear it and laugh and bitch about it.

Anyone can bitch about it. Laughing helps more. Late night comedy will be very busy with an overwhelming amount of comedy gold for the duration. Stephen Colbert's salary will go from $15 million to $25 million before it's over.

People are stupid.

#15 | POSTED BY BLUEWAFFLES

Wow. Something that you said I can finally agree with.

The stupid People voted for stupid Trumpy didn't they?

The stupid People proved they are stupid by voting for more stupid in our government.

Gratz stupid People!

the blood is on their hands.

#13 | POSTED BY VISITOR_

That was THEN and this is NOW.

So you must be so very proud that you MAGA Republicans have taken on the mantle of hate and xenophobia that the democrats have shed so that now any resultant suffering or bloodshed will be on YOUR hands.

Rome is burning.

what does success look like, corky?

POSTED BY EBERLY

Gotta love those open ended Beverly questions that lead to nowhere.

Success is a lot like art or porn.

Hard to describe but most will recognize it immediately when they see it.

You really really really hate to lose.

#62 | POSTED BY EBERLY

True Americans hate to see America lose. And America seems to have lost its way. And many Americans will suffer for it. But because we are a superpower so will many others in the world.

Your selfish deplorable way of thinking is what got us here. And Americans suffering because of their foolishness is now the only way out.

That is why I call you deplorable. Because you speak deplorably.

just keep that in mind while you think Rome is burning.
#59 | POSTED BY EBERLY

"Rome" is currently burning.

Keep that in mind while you deny the reality America faces.

He thinks being defensive about everything in his past means he is qualified to run the Defense Department.

He doesn't even know what a JAG is.

"There's nothing wrong with raw milk if the animals and equipment are handled properly ... "

Your claims have no basis in science.

And there you have it "if ... handled properly".

How can you personally be sure that raw milk is handled properly? You do not have the power and respect (or fear) that a queen has (even tho you may act like one).

And you comparing human breast milk to cows milk is hilarious.

Human breast milk is "designed" for humans with ingredients specific to humans and can be consumed right from the human breast. Which leaves very little opportunity for contamination (unless the woman is very unhygienic or a junkie) . Cows milk has numerous opportunities to become contaminated and unless cows milk is fortified it does not even contain what human babies need to thrive and grow and develop strong immune systems.

And no adults "need" to even drink cows milk. Raw or otherwise. Adults can get their nutrition from other sources. It's a choice. So if you choose to gamble with your health and drink raw milk have fun with that.

"Raw and pasteurized milk are comparable in their nutrient contents. While raw milk is more natural and may contain more antimicrobials, its many health claims aren't evidence-based and don't outweigh potential risks like severe infections caused by harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria."

It's not a risk I am willing to take. Raw milk does not provide anything that I need that I can't get elsewhere at no risk.

Re 59

Yes. I forgot to add. No matter what you or I say here today.

It's irrelevant.

And that includes you and your deplorable posts.

anybody who dares disagree you resort to calling them a "maga maroon".

I call people who act like maga maroons maga maroons.

"again, call me a ------ or a racist."

No thanks.

Deplorable would be a much more accurate description.

I told you why Biden could not just go after oil companies but he had to learn to work with them and keep the oil flowing while at the same time trying to reduce our dependence on it but you don't wanna discuss that. You wanna discuss what is a good name for how deplorable you are.

Fine I can do that and "deplorable" works just fine as a description for your behavior.
