It’s ridiculous how they can’t even be bothered to look at the facts, that are laid out there in plain english. Read more

I imagine the toughest spot to be in would be a Trump supporter who lives in Kansas. Lots of people in the U.S. still don’t understand that trickle down economics is bullshit, but the fine folks of Kansas just watched it ruin their economy. If they still support this tax plan, then there is no hope for redemption. Read more
It is depressing that people are so willfully ignorant and racist. It makes me angry. Read more

In the wake of this issue being politicized, I have to say that this is not an appropriate time to discuss politicization, and that we’d all be best advised to send our hopes and prayers to the victims. Read more
To paraphrase Colbert: Reality (including all the schools of science, math, and logic) has a liberal bias.

Yep, that’s their favorite discussion-killer these days: when someone brings up a topic or observation that makes you uncomfortable, because you know your views on it are on the wrong side of history, shut the conversation down & inject YOUR politics into it by complaining that the speaker is “politicizing”. Now the… Read more
