One thing clear going into night two. There are some fights being picked.

Some old memes are coming back. Stephen Stills For What It’s Worth last night. (Which MSNBC unforgivably cut off) is a direct FU to the 60s Repukes. Tonight's opening was focused on You Built This, a direct FU to the Repukes 2012 claims that businesses deserve praise as job creators.

This is how you win, don’t apologize, don’t be defensive, go right at the ignorant fucks. The fence sitters will jump over to our side, the racist tRump base, lost cause, goal is to get them to be uncomfortable to be themselves in public.

nice and $1.85 buys a "tall" something at Starbucks...it's about time we stick it to the bastards that brought us to this moment..in 1992 Molly Ivins said this about Pat Buchanan's convention hate speech.."It probably sounded better in the original German"...Trump isn't the beginning, he's the culmination..he took GOP hate for "the other" out of the shadows and brought into the White House...he "normalized it"..I want payback...I want total GOP destruction...and may it never ever exist again...

I got over being nice shortly after Twitler was sworn in. I'm now known as someone who will shut that crap down in a minute. Any thing worth believing in is worth fighting for. I couldn't be happier we've finally taken off the gloves.
