"I used to think the backbone of America ran right down the middle -- from the Dakotas to Texas. Sadly, if recent events have taught me anything, it’s that red states are spineless. The obsequious manner in which conservative voters capitulate to an untelegenic mountebank is either cultism, cowardice, or a combination of the two. It’s certainly not the backbone that built our great nation.
It's important to bear in mind these are the same gullible saps who thought the arrival of a Dollar General in their communities would save Main Street rather than eviscerate the local economy entirely. They're notorious for supporting flimflammers who delight in hoodwinking them.
These are likewise the same degenerates who think the prospect of a cage fight on the White House lawn is a fitting means by which to commemorate the semiquincentennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The irony doesn't escape the intellectual mind. Juvenal’s 'bread and circuses' idiom is obscenely fitting.
I recently happened upon a comment written by a Gravy Seal residing in a Kansas town made famous by right-wing terrorist Timothy McVeigh. The self-proclaimed Christian Nationalist applauded Trump’s “crackdown,” saying 'if Martial law is what it takes, so be it.'
'The communist demotards are lying,' he wrote. 'I’m glad Trump is gettin rid of the homeless. I’m tired of seein all these stolen Walmart carts all over town.'
For a Christian, the gentleman evidently suffers a lack of altruism.
Of course, when it comes to the question of where exactly transients are being relocated, nobody seems to know, and few 'Christians' appear to care."

Apparently they disagreed with my bumper stickers.
Well I have to hand it to them. This is a really solid argument.

Trump in Nevada: 'I Love the Poorly Educated'
"Amo le persone poco colte" ...e mica solo lui.
#Republicans and the egotistical whores who peddle their bullshit love the #poorlyEducated, and are committed to making sure they stay poorly educated. Why? Because the poorly educated are easily manipulated, and effectively pandered to. Just tell these people who don't understand how anything works that they are really the smart ones and they'll do whatever you want. They are guaranteed voters, and they don't ask meaningful questions. They are gold to the #GOP.
#Canadian asshole #KevinOLeary demonstrates why idiots who don't understand how anything works shouldn't be considered just because they have money. He thinks the US needs to go "#DEFCON 19" on #China. That's not how it fucking works, Kevin! The defense condition number gets LOWER as it gets more severe. DEFCON 19 would be like the most peaceful situation imaginable. We could sell off our military if it was DEFCON 19. What a moron.
