Someone tells these fascies where assholery leads

Well since assholery leads to them, they already know.

 

Why those videos usually use National Independence Day celebration from Poland is curious though.

same reason leftists use the soviet anthem.

Regardless of the actual situation there, nations following roughly your ideology have a certain appeal to the ideologically driven

Everybody knows the deal is rotten

Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton

Here's something interesting I found on Twitter about the Virginia election:

 

"Gillespie got more votes last night (1,172,533) than McDonnell got in his sweeping 2009 landslide (1,163,523).

The Dem vote grew from 818,909 to 1,405,007."

It makes sense for Virginia to turn blue. Over the past 15 years there is one industry in this country that has enjoyed unparalleled growth and expansion. The majority of the people who work in it want that to continue and the Democrats are this industry's greatest champion and proponent. The industry is located right between Maryland and Virginia and almost all of it's employees live in one state or the other..

 

I don't think anyone needs to have is spelled out just what industry I'm talking about here.

Democrats upped their margins in Northern Virginia and formerly swing suburban counties. Meanwhile, Democrats continued their slide in rural, western Virginia.

A drop of rain on Dems' parade: 2017 was 1st year in modern history a VA Dem gubernatorial nominee failed to carry a single precinct west of Redford. 

 

Buchanan Co.'s Fox precinct, an old UMWA stronghold, was final Dem outpost to fall: it went Gillespie, 53 votes to 47 votes.

Somehow I think Trump has an even more contemptuous attitude towards provincials than Bill Hicks, though likely couched more in his own overly-inflated sense of self-worth:

 

 

Quote
“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>
Quote

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling

John Boehner's perspective

 

Boehner worries about the deepening fissures in American society. But he sees Trump as more of a symptom than the cause of what is a longer arc of social and ideological alienation, fueled by talk radio and Fox News on the right and MSNBC and social media on the left. “People thought in ’09, ’10, ’11, that the country couldn’t be divided more. And you go back to Obama’s campaign in 2008, you know, he was talking about the divide and healing the country and all of that. And some would argue on the right that he did more to divide the country than to unite it. I kind of reject that notion.” Why is that? “Because it wasn’t him!” Boehner replies. “It was modern-day media, and social media, that kept pushing people further right and further left. People started to figure out … they could choose where to get their news. And so what do people do? They choose places they agree with, reinforcing the divide.”

Continuing to slide in the rural areas isn't good news for the Dems going forward. We'll have to see how the trend goes in the midterms a year from now.

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

You people are so dense. So many monuments dedicated to prominent Southern property owners. It’s a huge cottage industry there.

This isn't so much a case of the state turning blue, but rather of an impressive increase in turnout on the Dems side. I don't think the turnout numbers are out yet, but the fact that the GOP got more votes in this election than in previous comfortable wins but still massively lost speaks volumes.

Maybe because Trump got elected, people starting to actually vote. Hopefully more voters next election...argh I hate to imagine what we will have to go thru next election. Edited by redneckdevil

No one pays for that though.

I can imagine Trump bizarrely switching between Clinton and the actual opponent or trying to include comparisons to Clinton or attempts to connect that person to Clinton.

 

The midterms will probably be more or less expected, in the paradigm of what Trump has done anyway. It's possible that we haven't seen the nastiest it can get yet. Though for really colorful attacks, look to the 19th century, politics have always been a mud fight.

 

Also, Alabama senate candidate Roy Moore has had allegations come out about having sexual encounters with teenage girls while in his 30s. I think Democrats chances of nabbing the Alabama seat just went up, especially if Luther Strange manages to do a write in or something and splits the Republicans.

Plenty of growth and expansion in that field though

Reading how GOP politicians are defending Moore, I would not be so sure.

 

Like for example 

 

To defense of Roy Moore from AL state Auditor Jim Ziegler:

"Take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus.”

 

And Sean Hannity tell on Fox that it does matter because that 14 year girl consented (even though according to law 14 years old cannot consent on sexual acts, but that don't seem to bother family value supporters)

It's just like the Republicans to use the bible to justify things... I don't think the bible ever says how old Maey and Joseph were when she had Jesus.

 

The establishment guys in Washington are condemning the thing though, so, it's kind of Alabama Republicans vs the establishment. Either way, the Dem candidate still has really long odds just because it's Alabama.

Worse yet, I don't think God married Mary and if he did then she is guilty of bigamy.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

Gods have been impregnating youths, married and unmarried, since Zeus "The Golden Shower" the Thunderer. So, the myth isn't doing anything new or unique.
