> [@Starving\_Artist](#): > > You’re being facetious but the fact is that they and other hallmarks/consequences of 50 years of liberalism are exactly what caused the election of Donald Trump. Not that I expect anyone around here to pull their heads out of the sand and recognize or acknowledge it, but still it won’t hurt to have it on the record. This has got to be some of the stupidest stuff I’ve read in quite some time. I expect a certain conservative- liberal divide, what I don’t expect are dishonest biased opinions that don’t even possess the veneer of critical thinking. This country has slipped further and further into right wing conservatism,thanks to gerrymandering and the minority controlling state houses, Congress, the airwaves via radio not to mention the Fox News bubble. If anything it is exactly the ultra right wing conservative views that have brought back the freedom to comfortably express open rasism, the devaluation of education, the lowering of wages as workers are deemed as replaceable cogs and unions are decimated. Corporations are now king and we live in an oligarchy controlled by the almighty dollar, forget democracy, politicians ignore their constituents and vote with their donors. If liberals caused the decline of America please explain Kansas to me. They put all the policies republicans claim will save the country. Yet they are a failed state. I’m tired for being blamed for all the ills in the country when all I want is for you to have decent healthcare, make a living wage and to be able to retire someday with dignity. ---

Stormy Daniels herself, and whatever dirt she has, isn’t a threat to Donald Trump, but the payment by Trump’s lawyer might be something that piques Mueller’s interest. If Mueller thinks he can use that to entangle Trump’s lawyer and persuade him to possibly spill whatever evidence he has on Donald’s financial dealings - and I bet he knows a lot - then that’s potentially a big deal, and it might explain the sense of urgency by the president and his allies to shutter the investigation. I thought Dan Abrams of ABC News had some interesting comments yesterday morning. Trump might not have reason to fear Stormy Daniels and the other playmate, but the lawsuit filed by the former Apprentice star could be major trouble for Trump. That lawsuit has been allowed to proceed and this is where lawyers can start calling witnesses and corroborating. ---

I’m tired for being blamed for all the ills in the country when all I want is for you to have decent healthcare, make a living wage and to be able to retire someday with dignity. When conservatives talk about the state and direction of the country, they talk about society. When liberals talk about the state and direction of the country, they talk about politicians (and corporations). My complaints are about liberal influence upon society for the last 50 years and the result of it. Is that not obvious? And if all liberals only wanted what you claim to be all you want, we’d have many fewer problems. Instead we have the all the ills I outlined above and more. ---

Apparently you missed the part of my post that talked about it’s become impossible to take one’s kids into even a 7-11 without them encountering female-targeted magazines heralding the wonders of a properly administrated blowjob and instructions on how to perform them. The problem isn’t that blowjobs happen and you perfectly well know it. The problem is that it’s become impossible to raise kids and not have them exposed to the worst kind of shit coming from the music world and seeing and reading and hearing about things that children shouldn’t be exposed to in even the most innocuous of settings. In what you refer to as the Golden America Era, these things went on but the weren’t everywhere out in public like they are now. And I don’t believe for a second you don’t know that. People resent this shit and all the other stuff your side has “accomplished”, hence Donald Trump. ---

So in their resentment of all of these in-your-face corrosive social influences, conservatives - evangelical “Christians” or not - have responded to these outrages by voting for someone who is the personification of everything they claim to be offended by. It would make sense if they voted for Mike Pence - that I would completely understand. But conservatives voting for Donald Trump is like pro-choice women voting for Pope Francis. Admittedly not a perfect analogy but it’s the best I can come up with on 3 hours of sleep. ---

“We don’t like hearing about blowjobs. Let’s elect the guy who talks about grabbing women by the pussy.” Makes as much sense as anything else you’ve ever said. ---

The interview was a disappointment given the build up. Whether Society has gone to hell is a separate topic\*. She is a pornstar who comes across as credible in saying she slept with Trump and he has denied it and tried to cover it up. None of that changed during the interview. But if it stays in the public eye long enough, some election-related impropriety seems likely to be shown. \*its a trade-off: Blowjobs discussed openly while seeing more acceptance and tolerance of non-white male points of view. Such is life in the internet age. ---

In conclusion, we have **Starving Artist** ’s yelling at clouds derailing yet another thread, while ignoring the copious influence his generation had on how fucked up everything has gotten - all because racists don’t like being called racist, misogynists don’t like being called sexist, and it’s no longer ok to beat up the gays. But there’s definitely a fictitious song out there somewhere with the lyrics “Suck my badass cock”. Probably in “Poon-Tang!” or some other equally vile recording. ---

I can see next month’s headlines. Slut saves American, Trump team pleads guilty to campaign finance irregularities, fined 25 bucks. Trump tweets calling the decision a sad decision from a judge whose wife is a Muslin and his kids are half Muslim and possibly even illegals. Sad.
