And greedy people. Let's not forget greedy people too.
Succintly stated. Now everyone mount thinking reasoning arguements as to why voting for a dem is bettter.
Get out and help get voters registered or help people get to the polling booths.
Apathy is what got us in this pickle go vote and make a difference.
Historically, and unfortunately, when a country begins to nostalgically worship its own past and make itself "great again" it is a symptom of its decline.
not many remember this
@Lukian , It took an actor that time. This time, it took a conman.
Exactly correct.
On the news this morning ABC 30 had Pence report that Melania was operated on for a benign kidney condtion and was doing fine. Trump was apparently so outraged with the media that he had his Veep make the announcement. Where was this wonderful husband, Donald Trump? Why did his Christian VP who cannot even be alone with other women make the announcement that only the president should make?
These bastards are totally astounding!
I am usually an optimistic person, but let me say out loud what I am fearing for America: there will be a cataclysm, maybe a war between the totally armed nation of Born Agains and and the godless Californians, New Yorkers, and whoever else will join. The country will break into several factions. The world will stand by and watch it happen. Treaties and agreements will mean nothing and the next thing to look forward to is a helpful atomic bomb launched from the Korean Peninsular. China, Europe and the Russian States will easily step in and provide all the goods America had been providing before these lunatics in Congress, Senate and the White House came to power.
Whatever is left will align itself around natural resources and local revolutions will create new Americas.
Hey, I think I have a good outline for a near Science Fiction story.
They want the U.S. to be a "Christian Nation," and seemingly will do anything to make that a reality. They're mentally ill, and dangerous, in that respect.
Basically they are what Islam calls "Jihadists". But they cannot realise the irony of this.
fucking rediculous bullshit has a good chance of lighting a fire that can't be put out
we are seriously facing FASCISM These people are eliminating free press, destroying the clean water and air act, and most importantly, they appear to have the power to continue controlling the minds of those who do not read or listen to real news. We must, MUST all vote this midterm, There is no excuse for not voting, NONE,
I wrote this several years ago, The ABC's of Evangelical Christians - [ruthlessreviews.com]
With the present administration, nothing is a greater threat to our democracy.
So sad, and so true. The fundies are dragging America into the swamp.
Copy and paste, replace USA with Oz and add internet speeds, we are now down to 55, slower than Kazakhstan and Kenya. Our new fraudband was patched together by our Prime Minister back when he was communications minister.
55 what?
I have a 50meg fibre optic connection, which at peak periods only delivers 35 meg. Barely enough to watch 7 HD movie channels simultaneously whilst making silly comments on Agnostic.com.
I can't be kind to these idiots, they do so much harm.
All the Fundy Christians I know have convinced themselves, in even greater numbers than usual, that the end is very near. I believe just like in the past that as time goes by they will eventually abandon these extremist beliefs just as has always happened in the past, but this time in even greater numbers. I think they will be even more upset about being mislead than their predecessors were. I just think it's inevitable. I have faith that the arch of human history is long but that it not only curves toward justice, but truth as well.
I hope you are right.
unfortunately I think it might be too late for our planet.
@MsDemeanour The worrying thought being that sometimes it only happens after a revolution and civil war.
Yup, just glad I don't live there!
Wow, that hurt! Today is primary election day in my state, and you've just tripled my incentive to go vote.
@HippieChick58 Go go go! Go vote! That's why Trump is POTUS - not enough people voted for Hilary.
@felix5 The electoral college does my head in. How does a democracy work with such a complicated system (oh, wait, I know the answer to that...)
BTW, I am a big Felix the Cat fan.
@felix5 And yet, and yet, and yet - you guys have POTUS Trump.
FFS.
