Margaret, what the hell is happening? Nazis are fine people. Russia poked me on Facebook. The Real Housewives of Trump Tower are fighting over whos the real First Lady. And now the Civil War wasnt about slavery. Has everyone gone insane?
We had an opportunity to have an honest conversation about racism and once again Trump screwed it up. Those football players are kneeling for a reason and it has nothing to do with the flag. And then we had an opportunity to have an honest conversation about gun violence and once again the Republican Party made it about
turned it into
changed the topic to
wait a minute. They didnt do anything. They just left it hanging out there. Its just bat shit crazy if you ask me.
And now we are debating the civil war? Again? I know for damn sure we had that conversation a long time ago and it ended with freeing the slaves and a dead president. Compromise? John Kelly says it was about lack of compromise? General Kelly, with all due respect, what was the acceptable compromise? The South could keep the slaves, but they had to give them weekends off? My God is anyone in the Trump White House not a racist? Theyve got more white sheets than a Motel 6 in Pulaski, Tennessee.
The other day I saw John Kasich on TV talking about his dissatisfaction with the Republican Party and I thought maybe we could find something to agree upon. But then he said that he had no idea what Democrats stood for and I was reminded that Kasich is still an asshat.
Mr. Kasich here is what Democrats stand for. Its not a secret.
Affordable healthcare for all. Period.
Common sense gun control because you dont need an assault rifle to kill a deer.
Immigration reform.
Equal pay for equal work.
A woman can be trusted to make her own healthcare decisions.
Sex education reduces unintended pregnancies.
Love is color blind and gender neutral.
Global warming is not a Chinese hoax even though Trump has more chins than a Chinese phone book. (Was that racist or just a clever play on the word chin being Chen is the 5th most common Chinese surname? Actually it was a joke about Trump being a fatass which has nothing to do with global warming unless you count the amount of gas Trump releases from his fat ass daily. Surely there is a scientist who can tell us what harm that is causing. You know what? Never mind. Just get us back into the damn Paris Climate Agreement. Thats what I meant to say, really. )
Happy Holidays is a lovely thing to say to someone when you want them to have a Happy Holiday.
Every child should have access to a quality education.
College should be affordable.
Coal is stupid. (see Chen reference above)
Slavery was bad.
Nazis are not fine people.
Trump is a moron. (Which makes Rex Tillerson an honorary Democrat)
