Mourning in America - Trump Year One: November '16 to

any citizen?

this new act is worse than the old one, OL; consider that a "note"

Thx, I'll deliver your "note" to my past self but my act is probably a more futile problem to tackle.

perhaps you let the White House know you didn't approve of Obama's abuse of the Espionage Act in the past?

me too it is bad

Keep up, Morbz, I've spent the past month wearing the armchair liberal hairshirt. But time, like one's FB timeline, moves forward.

you need more trump-loving soviet emigres on your feed, then you will learn all about how george soros is bussing fake protestors all around the country ("here's proof -- I LOOK A PICTURE OF A BUS")

ok maybe you don't need more, i've only got 3 and they provide me with all i need of this stuff

ha i do have an uncle giving me that shit

lots of infowars/breitbart stuff although a lot that is even way less respectable than those :/

The most recent Borowitz appearance on my timeline was my wife posting one of his pieces and effectively saying "what the fuck is this shit"

"Your office cut-up getting paid for his political insight" is basically what the fuck that shit is.

Borowitz cited for identifying Russian-hack-obsessives as PATRIOTS! his funniest yet....

@glcarlstrom
Netanyahu: Israel needs to govern more like Trump, with more political appointees picked by the PM.

The B&W rant by some actress basically saying "Hey Trump voters, you're stupid." for ten minutes.

Honestly it's very disheartening, these things all bespeak denial and a lack of real political tools.

i really am going to have to block the new yorker from my feed. they have some decent journalism but all that ever gets shared from it is borowitz crap.

Perhaps explains his continued employment

We never discussed one of my favorite NRO columns, and it's about Rick Perry.

Perry’s roof-raising speech Friday, which was festooned with ten-dollar words and an emphasis on state governance as a mechanism for crowd-sourcing solutions, broke through in part because it came in a new package: Perry the collected-but-not-cool thinking man, wearing a muted tie, a bespectacled elder statesman whose long tenure as chief executive of the Lone Star state bestowed wisdom on him while showering prosperity on Texans.

Honestly it's very disheartening, these things all bespeak denial and a lack of real political tools.

It's almost as if the President is the most powerful person in America, and individuals and even groups and even millions and millions of people are pretty ineffectual when it comes to countering said power. Even in the '60s, with far worse, far more egregious shit going on than is going on now, it took years and years of hundreds of thousands of agitated people pushing back against the government before the most basic of concessions happened. And then, over the hump on a lot of fronts, we rewarded ourselves by voting for Nixon.

the political apex of modern America was 8/10/74, and juvenile me thought such pleasures were going to be a regular occurrence.

mostly downhill ever since

the political apex of modern America was 8/10/74

that's when my mom realized I was gonna be a boy!

t was Saturday, under the sign of Leo. The US president was Gerald Ford (Republican). In that special week of August people in US were listening to Feel Like Makin' Love by Roberta Flack. In UK She by Charles Aznavour was in the top 5 hits. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, directed by Sam Peckinpah, was one of the most viewed movies released in 1974 while Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John le Carré was one of the best selling books.
But much more happened that day ...

^^^^ IS this Lefsetz?

Lefsetz would've dropped some cunnilingus refs in there

did anyone see the Bernie Talks to Trumpists thing on MSNBC? The Manic Pixie Dream Editor at work was over the moon.

We discussed it here last night.

lol @ Manic Pixie Dream Editor

I have to say I've enjoyed following young socialist dems on Twitter

of course, 600 posts ago. Help me out, how many I'm With Her posters recanted their primary votes? xxp

Are you talking about us? I don't regret my vote one bit.

oh good let's relitigate this shit

this is not a court, unless it's the one at the end of Bananas

but yeah, i have no interest. Da Bernie Bros on Twitter, never forget

In Trump's America we might as well all become psychopaths. Just follow the course the US has been going to its end conclusion.

I kind-of like the idea, the entire country becoming one giant fist fight and looting spree. Nothing means anything anymore, so why the hell not.

hm

are you drinking again?

me or lawrence appleton?

sorry that was an xp

are you drinking again?

Yes

i'm drinking sprite

I'm not drinking now, but I'm starting to understand why alcoholism is such a big problem in Russia.

Tell me about it (and yes, I've had some Four Roses single barrel). It's been a struggle not to just embrace some sort of wtf nihilism, like America has had its chance and it's all going to shit now in the worst, most aggressive way, and there's nothing to be done about it. The irony is we're nowhere near as bad as Russia, and so much better than we were, say, 60 years ago. And yet, I find our national embrace of anti-intellectualism, tacit and explicit racism, and just all around mediocrity just so dispiriting.

I despise Donald Trump and everything he represents with a fury you cannot imagine. He's like an allegorical figure of evil, it's mind boggling how this guy has become the leader of the US.

i'm not fond of him either
