Re: The suzerain Trump
I read till Toni Morisson's piece on the white supremacy and had to get up and go to the gym to let off some steam.

ibid wrote:[T]he same people who spent 18 months screeching about how much they despised "political correctness" are now insisting on...political correctness. Even more laughable, the same people that spent 8 years hurling vile insults at Obama are scandalized that people are doing the same thing to their guy. They literally prayed for Obama to die but are now deeply offended by the behavior they normalized. This is not to say that Charlie Sheen should be applauded for calling for Trump to die but let's not pretend he crossed some kind of line. This is the world the right longed for.

The Trumpeteers' mindset: "Many only feel confused. The ground shakes, they do not know why and with what. Theirs is a state of anxiety; if it becomes more definite, then it is fear." -- Ernst Bloch, The Principles of Hope, 1954. (wiki)

Sarah Silverman is shit hot! Definitely in the classic tradition of Lenny Bruce and Bill Hicks.

Re: The suzerain Trump
Interesting read from a woman who feels betrayed by a pieces of shit like Trump and Pense winning. Pretty painful, in fact, but really gets to the heart of the matter of how women get trampled on repeatedly by men like those arseholes who seek to control women's automony with the belief they're doing it for women's own good.

What Exxon CEO represents:
According to a recent report in Science, which cites the work of Richard Heede, principal of Climate Mitigation Services, ExxonMobil was responsible for 555 million metric tons of CO2 entering the atmosphere in 2013, making it the fourth-biggest polluter that year.

Re: The suzerain Trump
Just read Trump's New Year's tweet. I think I'm done obsessing with this fucking troll. I'll be keeping an eye on what he and his robber barons do when he becomes... becomes... - sorry, just sicked in my mouth - but outside of that I'm hitting the ignore button.
