Way to go, America!

Look what the world thinks you voted for, but did you? And even if you did, would you do so again? And even if you wouldn't, would he still be President?

Billions of tax payers dollars wasted; American lives lost; innocent lives lost; moms and dads left grieving; the high cost of living got higher, while the value of lives got cheaper; why?

One of the most fucked up parts of America’s for-profit medical system and insurance often being tied to your work is that you cannot work if you are sick and if you are not working, you have no insurance. People are fired in the middle of cancer treatment or a severe mental health episode and suddenly there is no way to pay the hospital and buy the medicine you need. Republicans will outright say “You don’t deserve free healthcare if you’re lazy and unemployed.” anytime someone mentions this, actively ignoring the fact that you often cannot work when you are sick and shouldn’t be forced to work when you’re sick to be able to afford to get better.

Of all the things you could list that would help humanity, a trillionaire who acknowledges that he is skeptical about philanthropy is Not one of them.

Bishop Talbert Swan:

Trump’s obsession with the Obamas has never been political. It has always been personal, racial, and ugly.

First, he spent years pushing the racist birther conspiracy against President Obama. Then he shared content depicting the Obamas as apes. Recently, a fighter stood in the White House and referred to Michelle Obama as a man, and the White House said nothing. Now Trump is publicly referring to Barack Obama as a “stupid son of a bitch.”

The pattern is impossible to ignore.

MAGA’s problem has never been that Barack and Michelle Obama failed. Their problem is that the Obamas succeeded. They cannot stand the fact that a brilliant Black man became President of the United States and that a brilliant, accomplished Black woman became one of the most admired First Ladies in American history.

So they resort to what racists have always resorted to: dehumanization.

They question Barack Obama’s legitimacy. They question Michelle Obama’s womanhood. They compare them to animals. They mock them. They insult them. They attempt to strip them of the dignity routinely afforded to white public figures.

And then they wonder why people call them racist.

No, this is not about policy disagreements. People disagree about politics every day. This is about a movement that repeatedly reaches for racist tropes whenever the Obamas are involved.

Barack and Michelle Obama will be remembered as historic figures who served this nation with intelligence, grace, and dignity.

The people obsessed with demeaning them are simply revealing themselves as vile, demonic, racist, human refuse.

"DSA just adopted a platform of free puppies and kittens for everyone who wants one and that is just the tip of the iceberg"

The way that people always scare monger about DSA by saying "they want good things" is always funny to me

A key U.S. spy tool has lapsed — now what?

The government says more than 60% of the president's daily intelligence briefing relies on information collected under a tool known as FISA

Trump: I'm going to paint the Reflecting Pool dark blue, it'll look a lot better

Scientists: Don't do that; it will raise the temperature of the water, promoting the growth of algae

Trump: Fuck you, I know what I'm doing, just watch

Everybody: Holy shit, look at all the algae in the Reflecting Pool!

MAGA: Clearly, the Democrats sabotaged the pool
