This doesn't need any commentary from me. Just watch it.

Trump isn't safe

No to Tim kaine

Hillary must not pick Tim Kaine as her Vice President. Kaine is too hawkish (which underscores a big problem with Clinton). Further, he is anti abortion rights. He brags about cutting taxes, including estate taxes (that was a big gift to the wealthy at the expense of the working and middle class). Kaine is a bad idea. A disaster!

I agree, but still choose to argue because I'm like that.

I agree very much with this article, but I do have a bit of a quibble with this statement:

[Hillary Clinton is] the woman who has been the target of possibly the greatest amount of sexism and misogyny over the course of a single political career.

While it could be argued that that statement is true, only the length and profile of that career makes it so. In any given female politician's career she will likely suffer at least as much sexism as Ms Clinton has, if we break it down on a year by year basis. Sadly, female politicians in this country face outsize hatred from the right (and sometimes the center as well). I don't think Secretary Clinton's experience is notably worse than that of any woman in Democratic politics.

Women on the right tend to get a bit of a pass from the rightwing pundits and pols. Ann Coulter will never have it as tough as Rachel Maddow. Olympia Snowe with never suffer what Debbie Wasserman-Schultz does. That's sort of a given.

Ratfucking for Fun and Profit



Throughout the great history of this nation (which was founded around 1968, I think) RATFUCKING has been a guiding principle of all that is good and holy.  Our Nation’s founding fathers (the sweaty ghost of Richard Nixon, Lee Atwater, The Zombie Corpse of Ronald Reagan,  and Lily Von Shtupp for some reason), decreed that rats must be fucked at every opportunity.

Ask John Kerry, or Tammy Duckworth what being a war hero gets you in modern politics. They understand. The interwebs are all a quiver over Donald Fucking Trump shooting into a double digit lead over Scott “fuck the poors” Walker and Jeb “Worse than my brain damaged brother” Bush right after his attack on John “Bush already ratfucked me, bro” McCain. Of course he’s winning! He’s the one willing to fuck the rats.

The GOP base is deeply racist and homophobic. Trump’s racist rants play right into their sweet spot. +

We all know that Trump's star will fade (unless he goes all Perot and runs third party style - note to The Donald: please do this!). Eventually Walker and Jeb! will duke it out in a race to the spot just to the right of Franco. The winner of that battle will then try their best to ratfuck the Democratic nominee (probably Hillary, maybe Bernie). 

It likely wont work given demographic trends and such. But they will try. They always try.
