some two-bit dictator of a country you couldn’t find on a map

Elizabeth Warren is right on this. Donald Trump's RNC speech sounded like

"some two-bit dictator of a country you couldn’t find on a map."

She was talking to Colbert. Colbert should not have moderated in this conversation. He should have agreed. This is a dangerous time. This nation is on the razor edge of electing an unstable bigot who lacks the basic knowledge to be mayor of Upper Sandusky, let alone Commander in Chief of the greatest military on the planet.

Dog Whistle Through a Loudspeaker

"These are guys with the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty … these types of guys … they come from Connecticut and New York, they come up here, they sell their heroin, they go back home. […] Incidentally, half the time they impregnate a young, white girl before they leave, which is a real sad thing because then we have another issue we have to deal with down the road."

That's Maine Governor Paul LePage. He actually said that, in public on the record. Doesn't he know that you are supposed to save the KKK rhetoric for closed door meetings with supporters?

Antonin Scalia, the worst person in America

Antonin Scalia is the worst person in America. I don't say that he is teh worst American, because he is decidedly Un-American. He is a slow witted bigot. A dimwit to rival all others. And this fuckwit, blowhard, empty suit with no understanding of history or the constitution has more power than nearly any other person in the nation.

This man is the best argument for voting only for Democrats for President for the rest of history.

Bigots

This sentence sums it up:

But living in a country where supporting and encouraging hate is part of political discourse is a grind.

Lawyers, guns and money

American ISIS

Yes, that's what they are. The Amercian version of ISIS.  They work to ensure that their religion is given supremacy over yours.  They shove theocracy into our faces. They take over government offices with idiocy and backwards ideas. They rile up the rubes with lies.  And, I fear that they are winning.

I feel low.

Putrid Dumbhole

Putrid Dumbhole of a waste of space Kim Davis has backed down. Instead of going back to jail for her religious principles, she will get out of the way of other people doing their jobs. She wont do her job, mind you, just let others do theirs.

Fucking Kim Davis Again

I have written before about Kim Davis before. I wish that I didn't have to. But now this hateful bigot is free. But, that may not last. Ed has more on this:

Judge Bunning decided today to release Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis from jail on the condition that she not interfere with the deputy clerks in her office issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, but her attorneys say that she’s going to violate that condition

Also see Raw Story

If she violates the conditions of her release, she should be immediately jailed again.

Kim Davis is a wretched horror of a human being

This blog has the best answers to wretched, vile, scumpile Kim Davis. I suggest reading it.

J.T. Eberhard keeps hitting the right point. It needs to be made again and again: "I refuse to do my job, but I demand that you pay me" is not a fucking argument about religious freedom. It is simply the claim of a shitty person who thinks that they are more important than others. Fuck Kim Davis. Fuck her in her stupid ass. 

I am sick of bigots yelling that somehow "Freedom" means the right to fuck over others in the name of their invisible friend.

Sick. Of. It.

I hope everyone understands fully that Davis is about to be very rich, by the way. Getting jailed fits right in with the Conservative game plan. Go Fund Me accounts will be raking in the cash from Klan members worldwide to prop up this vile bigot.

It all makes me sick.

 That’s like the Burger King employee who told customers to fuck off expressing bewilderment at his firing because he was good at keeping his station clean.  Doing some parts of your job well but breaking the law and refusing services to members of the community who are entitled to them is still sucking at your job.
There’s undoubtedly somebody else out there who can handle the finances of the clerk’s office and also fulfill the rest of the position’s legal obligations.

That moment when Donald Trump stopped being funny

Police in Boston say that one of two brothers who allegedly beat a homeless Hispanic man cited Trump’s message on immigration as a motivation for their attack. “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported,” Scott Leader, 38, told officers, according to a police report cited by The Boston Globe.

The whole story


Remember when John McCain had to dial his shit back because the crazies that supported John McCain were getting riled up? Can you see Trump dialing it back? Their words have consequences and it is important to remember that. We will see more of this.
