Call him Drumpfft.
Fuck Joe Sixpack.
Judging from the outcome, you have that backwards.
(The Yakov Smirnoff jokepractically writes itself.)
You’re a raving lunatic who’s become completely unhinged from reality.
Actually, Joe Sixpack fucked hiself. I can retire any time I want. I have my health and dental insurance - which i can keep upon retirement. I am in reasonably good health. I don’t have any debt except for a nearly paid off mortgage.
I’m not fucked, but Joe Sixpack is. His auto factory job and steel mill job is never coming back. His health and unemployment benefits will disappear, his job protections will disappear (if he is even still working), he’ll never get a pay increase, etc etc etc.
So he’s already fucked but just doesn’t know it.
And the jobs that are left will keep disappearing.
hey Steve. can you tell me what you do for a living?
Stupidity and ignorance are the enemies of America, at least until it goes full-theocracy.
Reaching a crescendo around the last Aug-September time-frame, the media, pundits and high-ranking elected government officials everywhere were wringing their hands about some sort of Republican/GOP crises. The cries were strident and alarming: The GOP as we know it is dead. Republican in-fighting is tearing the party apart. Unprecedented, etc, etc.
Now the other shoe has dropped.
Your silence in rebuke of the thread’s true raving lunatic completely unhinged from reality is noted, as is amusement at your hypocrisy and gall.
It is fair to bring out the racial aspects of drug laws that make crimes more typically committed by black people have much more severe punishment. Crack cocaine being 100 times more serious than powder cocaine, for example. It is also fair to question “get tough” policies in general, when it results in one of the highest incarceration rates in the world. It is fair to point out the impact that such policies have on racial minorities. That’s not calling a particular person “racist.” If I told you the policies you were advocating perpetuated institutional racism in this country, I would hope that you wouldn’t take it as a personal insult.
On the people that thought that they were voting for a “guy of the people” and that was going to “drain the swamp”.
And the OP is a Jerk too anyhow.
The point I was making with my post is that, as Starving Artist communicated in his post, some liberals on this board (and elsewhere) shut down opposing opinions by calling them “racist” or “homophobic” or (my favorite) “BIGOT”. That is, they are highly intolerant of opinions that do not match what they think is right. Since, in today’s PC climate, being labeled a “racist” is worse than being labeled a “thieving drug addict”, this has the effect that makes people afraid to speak, which is just the effect that is intended. To steal another term from the liberal lexicon, this is just a way to disenfranchise those who do not agree with them 100%. What was the “basket of deplorables” comment intended to do if not make people who disagreed with her afraid to speak up and encourage her supporters to ostracize her opponents supporters?
I was not saying that if you don’t think like I do that I don’t want hear it. You are certainly entitled to your opinion and I don’t think you should be shunned for having it.
So, I fail to see how this is ironic to my point.
And then point out that many liberals consider that most (if not all) Trump supporters are White, gun-toting, Christian Jim-Bob’s who live out in the sticks and drove their pick-up with the confederate flag in the back into town to vote. If those people aren’t defined as a racial and/or ethnic group, I am not sure who can be. And, if these liberals have any tolerance at all for Trump supporters, they do a great job of hiding it.
I wonder if you intend this to mean that only the definitions that liberals use can appear the Webster dictionary, or that only liberals contribute to the dictionary? (of course, you probably think anyone who can read must be a liberal)
If so, then they will have to amend a lot of their definitions.
For example:
Bigot-One who, regardless of their tolerance of others and their opinions, hates brown-skinned people
Racist-One who hates brown-skinned people regardless of race identity
Xenophobic-One who hates brown-skinned people regardless of their origin
Hey, it might just be easier than I though.
We need a Hitlergruß simile. I sense too many people are frustrated they can’t properly offer their respect to the new hamster-fisted fuhrer.
Here’s Trump’s plan: Subsidize companies who threaten to send jobs to other countries with taxpayer dollars, like his brilliant deal with Carrier. Then, as automation destroys millions of jobs in retail, manufacturing and trucking, he’ll use what’s left of the tax base on incentives for companies that employ humans. Pretty soon, America will be as bankrupt as a Trump casino.
It’s somewhat nice to know that all the Republicans complaining about safe spaces were just projecting.
He stated once that his mommy was not nice to him one time and she was a Christian so therefore ALL non-atheists are Evil Super Satans. When he’s not murdering white males he enjoys such hobbies as baking and murdering white males. Interesting fella.

He won’t be subsidizing with my money. Here’s my strategy: we give to charities for various reasons, and take the deductions off our income tax. This year our income took a substantial jump because we’re having to start cashing out our IRAs, and so will our tax payment come April. We are doing an estimate this month of our upcoming tax burden and plan to write checks this month to charities in the amount of what we would normally write to the IRS, then take the deduction and try to get our tax bill close to zero. Hey, if it’s good enough for Tiny Hands, the Koch-suckers and other billionaires, it’s good enough for the common man.
