President Trump

By mike flugennockThursday - May 26th, 2016Categories: 2016 Election, elections, media, Party Animals, right wingnuts, Trumpism

So, the last polls I looked at in the If The Election Were Held Today Department had Sanders beating The Donald in the general fairly easily. So, while Hillary may be able to lie, cheat, steal and backstab her way to the nomination, she’ll likely be toasted in November. Still, the Hillaroids will no doubt find some twisted, otherworldly reason why it’s our fault for not supporting her lying, thieving, imperialist neoliberal ass… because, as we all know, nothing is ever Hillary’s fault, right?

when Wall Street is a girl’s best friend…!

Overheard at #DemocracySpring

Ahh, Democracy Spring — that time when a young activist’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of mindlessly lining up for a meaningless, symbolic, ceremonial civil disobedience at the Capitol which does absolutely nada to change the status quo of American politics.

At last report, the Democracy Spring “production” was well on its way to hitting its goal of 3500 civil disobedience arrests at the Capitol — and they really are into yelling about how they’re breaking the record for CD arrests at the Capitol, almost to the point of fetishizing. At a $50 fine for each arrest, Democracy Spring is fattening up the US Capitol Police coffers to the tune of $175k — especially given that, if on-the-ground accounts are to be believed, many of the Democracy Springers are getting back in line to be arrested again after being taken around the back of the Capitol to be cited, fines paid, and released.

Well, shut my mouth — looks like nonviolent civil disobedience really does work… sorta kinda.
