How Long Have You Hated Trump?

I have hated, despised and abhored this monster since the 80's when he was elevated to national status. I hated his smug, smarmy, silver spoon in his mouth, white privileged face as soon as a saw it. I recognized evil. I was right.

Anybody have the same visceral reaction to him back in the old days when he was allegedly a Democrat?

On edit: God, he makes me want to puke!!

MacKenzie Scott's donations have shamed the boys of tech -- Bezos above all

MacKenzie Scott has done it again.

Having already donated $1.7 billion to charity by this past July — and announcing that she’s no longer using the last name of her ex-husband, Jeff Bezos — she declared that she has donated another $4.2 billion to 384 organizations in the last four months.

While all the tech bros fight over colonizing space and California tax codes, banding together for the only thing they really care about — fending off anti-trust legislators — Scott makes them all look like stingy, greedy incels without a shred of compassion for those ruined by COVID-19.

“This pandemic has been a wrecking ball in the lives of Americans already struggling,” Scott wrote in a Medium post on Dec. 15. “Economic losses and health outcomes alike have been worse for women, for people of color, and for people living in poverty. Meanwhile, it has substantially increased the wealth of billionaires.”


Billionaires who, with the exception of Bill Gates and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, have been relatively mum on this pandemic. Remember Elon Musk loudly inserting himself into the Thai cave rescue crisis, acting like a real-life Tony Stark? Why so quiet now?

Tulsi Gabbard Introduces Anti-Transgender Bill After Claiming To Be LGBTQ-friendly

Source: Huffingtonpost

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) introduced legislation in the House on Thursday that would bar schools from receiving federal funding if they allow transgender girls and women and non-binary people to compete on sports teams consistent with their gender identities.

The bill — co-sponsored by Republican Rep. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma — was met with immediate outrage from transgender activists and allies who labeled the legislation “blatantly transphobic.”

So, the orange turd is scheduled to speak at 7.

I will not watch that monster, but I am really looking forward to what he has to say.

Was the election fair in Georgia? Were their votes secure? Can they trust the republican governor and the republican secretary of state? Should they bother to vote in the upcoming election?

I am giddy just waiting on his next move to fracture the party that has obstructed everything progressive we have worked for.

These are interesting times.

Hey Congress! We need a damned stimulus check!

Listen up and listen good. We are mad as hell and our representatives are giving away bank to business and what is left over is being given to the working class. Who do you think runs this damned economy? We the people who struggle day to day to pay our bill during these hard times.

We are being asked to sacrifice our health and safety by forcing us out in the work place during a pandemic! Grocery store workers, restaurant workers, healthcare worker, workers, workers, workers!

Yeah, thanks for the little bit you tossed our way, the little crumbs left over after you once again bailed out business.


Merry fucking Christmas.

I just called my republican senators.

I called to ask them when they were going to denounce the president and his followers? That they are calling for a suspension of the constitution, martial law! I am livid that senator rubio and scott continue to support his treasonous actions.

Well, I left a message for them, livid but non threatening. I tell you though I am goddamned furious and ready to defend this election in the streets if I have to. These people have lost their ever loving minds!!!
