^ I'm talking about ridiculing people who are trying to seriously work out centuries of racism. I'm talking about taking a twisted pleasure in that, and as an excuse to not look at one's own culture.
Why, what did it sound like I was talking about? I thought I was pretty clear.

As was the case with these, it'll burn itself out. Guaranteed
The Panama papers got burned because someone used them to roll up some mighty fine Panama Red.

oh yeah.. that's been all over the news here obviously.
what has caught my attention is less here in DC.. but elsewhere. In particular Buffalo
Like someone.. I think David.. mentioned in the RIP thread. Floyd's death is not likely to be in vain. Perhaps this does mark a long long LONG overdue turning point. Make one patch of systematic racism.. who think nearly killing a elderly 75 year old man is.... f**king acceptable. A whole cell of bad cops if you will..
erased.. and good riddance
and I hope it is but a start...

that really has been the amazing thing Greg... this.. that..
forgotten in a week... replaced by the next outrage or un-presidential act..
I swear it is a master plan of his... pile on it so thick and heavy everyone just becomes numb to it.
Yet can we imagine any ONE of these weekly occurances happening under past Presidents.. he even makes Nixon look good in comparison haha
You need to watch this footage. WUSA9, the CBS affiliate in Washington, actually found spent canisters of tear gas as they filmed the crowd being dispersed. And these were OC and CS tear gas canisters -- the real Banana Republic/Iron Curtain riot gear -- not the pepper ball tear gas the Park Police claimed to be shooting....

What exactly was 45 saying here (from CNN, quotes from today's press conference, and one more moment of humour)? Is he saying he thinks Melania is a horse? "People are -- people are driving. I may have to buy one of those things; drive around town. Maybe I'll drive back to New York with our first lady in a trailer."

oh no doubt.. if I was perfect I wouldn't be here for sure.. but as we all were hopefully taught by our dear parents.
we make mistakes.. but you can learn from them.. I would consider myself a much more educated political observer than I was years ago. The last several election cycles have shown that Trump has a low ceiling and a high floor. Roughly 40% of America
If the other 60% are actually motivated to vote he and his party get crushed.. and they have in the cycles since his election. Nothing has changed since then.. other than.. well.. his own support is beginning to leave him..

Trouble is, Micky, you thought Hilary would piss the last election. Whilst Trumpalot should struggle, I still think it is pretty close. Don’t underestimate the strength of his voter base, and, yes, I know that I am only looking in from the outside.
