All you “we got through Trump last time, we can do it again, it’s not that bad” people:

Notice how the picks this time are significantly crazier and more dangerous? Yeah we fucking told you it’s different this time, and it absolutely is. I hope you all get fucking rabies.

From what I’ve heard… he said he won’t ban vaccines, but things can change.

I hope Cheryl Hines divorces him soon… unless she thinks she can coerce his decision-making.

He’s been humping Trump and saying the crazy shit for months now. She’s either one of the dumbest, most oblivious women on the planet, or she supports this bullshit.

The only other plausible explanation I have heard is that her divorce lawyer has her staying quiet. I’m kind of assuming she’s a two faced cunt for now

Vaccines are unprofitable for pharmaceutical companies. If he defunds the research and production of vaccines they will vanish even if they are not banned. There are just so many ways this idiot can and will kill us all.

The babies are precious human lives from nut to birth. After birth they are disposable fodder.

Scuttlebutt is already record breaking retirements across most federal agencies for January, and there’s going to be lots more that try it but dip out after a few months. And I’m not talking people discussing the possibility, I mean the process has already started.

Which is a really bad thing…

A lot of the goverment is perpetually understaffed, and all these ultra conservative department heads are just going to do hiring freezes, keeping it even smaller.

Republicans don’t have to cut government staffing when everyone always runs away rather than stay and do what they can.

Republicans sure as shit don’t resign when a Dem shows up. They stick around and obstruct what they disagree with and try to maintain any ground they can.

To be fair, the Dems don’t have candidates to threaten or promise murder for the other party.

Oh ok…

You’re right, historically it has been best to bow to far right extremists making terroristic threats so the only members of the government are ones that agree with them.

/s

Did you know we’ve literally tried that before?

It’s what ended reconstruction and was the original mission of the KKK.

People did what you’re supporting back then, it worked out fucking horribly. Seriously, people taking your current advice back then is one of the forks in the road that led to the current fucking shit show. But first it led to Jim Crow laws and massive civil rights setbacks. Because people cowed to just not threats but actual murders.

I swear, the vast majority of the reasons we can’t fix the same problems, is people refuse to remember how many times something has happened, what failed last time, and why we shouldn’t keep fucking doing it over and over.

And I’m not coming down on you personally, it’s just no one knows this shit anymore.

Fighting isn’t easy, we don’t just get to sit on the couch and make social media comments and call it a day.

You want to actually do something to help the government resist?

You might not want trump to be your boss, but again:

Fighting isn’t easy

If only trump sycophants work in the US government, he’ll break a lot more shit

Did you reply to the wrong comment by chance? Or am I getting a shellacking for my laziness?

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
