(The stuff about Putin is new, of course. But also a big fucking deal.) Meanwhile, the Tea Party was concerned about stuff that the Tea Party basically invented out of whole cloth to scare themselves with. Boo! ---

Speaking of Milo and free speech vs the censorious left. Someone got shot outside one of his events tonight. Police also confiscated many weapons from the protesters including poles, pipes, and hammers. Police officers were also attacked by mangy protesters with rocks.

I get it now!: There is a big difference between don the con and a russian tool; but there is absolutely no difference between the political realities of, and the dem and rebup responses to, don the con and obama. Everything was identical. Now let’s get down to the real issues and LOCK HER UP! ---

Donnie is the biggest conspiracy fan in the country. And he has trafficked in them for years, in fact using one to get political traction which was an unlikely prospect without it. _ **He is reaping what he has sown but it’s much more than that** _. He is a big time projector and accuser of others about what, it’s very clear to everyone else, applies in spades to donnie himself. Therefore, if donnie wants to project conspiracies around, and use them to get an electoral win over a majority of voters, it’s reasonable to hold him to a high standard of transparency. It’s a minimum requirement for him to be considered innocent in these investigations. Basically, for don the con, in re: his wealth, his freedom from russian influence, his charities, it’s “Cite or it doesn’t exist” ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > Okay, people. You’ve had your tantrums repeatedly since the election. We grown-ups thought they were amusing at first, but now they are just annoying. It’s now time for you to face up to real life. > > Donald Trump is going to be sworn in on Friday as the President. Take a look [at this](http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d97/Clothahump/15401153_1007921692646526_8764059935336559599_n1_zpsr7i5a1et.jpg) and read it carefully. Then grow up and deal with it, Equating this with eight years of Barack Obama isn’t quite accurate. You’re getting something tantamount to a one-party state, and your party unilaterally seized control the Supreme Court back in March. You are arrogating to yourselves a decisive mandate for sweeping change and, particularly, for the elimination and rollback of whatever Barack Obama and all previous Democrat Presidents have managed to accomplish. But what you call a mandate is a fantasy, seeing as how you couldn’t even muster enough popular votes to surpass the despised Hillary Clinton, and that when she was facing her own party’s lack of enthusiasm. This is not business as usual. This is not like, say, when GWB took over from Bill Clinton, or Reagan taking over from Carter. Those events were just the natural swing of the political pendulum. You may say you are sick and tired of us, but clearly more of us were sick and tired of you. At least 2.8 million more, anyway. The way I look at is, Trump fulfilled a certain geographical requirement which is one of the cornerstones of the whole EC concept. But one hopes that when a new President’s popular showing is so poor, there might be a modicum of humility rather than hubris–and in his voters too. ---

Some people are assholes. This doesn’t justify sweeping negative statements about huge groups. No, the vast majority of the “left” aren’t smashing property or doing anything violent. So why lump them (us) altogether, unless you just want to insult us? ---

Where do you get the leftist shit from? That’s some strong revisionist history you are promoting if you claim that communists are not traditionally placed on the left axis. Don’t be dishonest. You also need to realize that the left is a vast coalition of disparate interests. So of course there will be contradictory elements. This isn’t hard.
