Contract with America, impeachment, etc. Bush I, Reagan, Nixon, LBJ, Kennedy (I exclude Ford and Carter from this) all had their moments but it was before the advent of the internet which changed everything both in terms of us finding out about the stupid stuff our politicians are doing and in terms of our politicians using the medium to broadcast lies and innuendo in hopes of garnering the stupid vote.

And wouldn't you have thought us getting this knowledge through the Internet would have made a difference? What a disappointment.

It has made a difference, it has made things worse. Which prove that lies and stupidity travel faster than truth and intelligence.

Another thing we can add to Trump's list of shit: human trafficking.

As in, bringing in undocumented workers, illegally. Including minors. And having them work for shitty wages, while paying rent.

Sigh.

"Imagine what our country could accomplish if we started working together as one people, under one God, saluting one flag," Trump said, drawing enthusiastic applause from the crowd at the Values Voter Summit.

"Eine Volk, eine Gott, eine Fahne!"

Jesus.

America, what the hell have you done.

Right

An NY Times columnist says what we knew all along:

Trump is an Americanized Chavez.

If he gets elected, he will will lead this country to ruin, just like Chavez did. At absolute best.

I read that piece, the only thing I am not so sure is that bit about Chavez and Beauty Pageants.

I'm embarrassed to be a member of this species.

Yeah, my brother texted me a few days ago when he was visiting our parents to say my dad was very "Hillary clearly has Parkinsons and the problem is they are going to give her amphetamines for the debate, just like how they gave them to the Nazis and Japanese to fight and feel no pain." When my brother said he doesn't feel comfortable with/ think it's a good strategy for Republicans to use conspiracies as a main piece of their arguments, my dad's response was "how is it a conspiracy that she has Parkinsons?"

I'm not sure you're related to those "people" in any way.

How very frustrating!!! Especially since your dad isn't stupid!

Imagine a world where everyone can find exactly the information and "facts" to support what they want to consider to be the truth. Imagine a world where all the children are taught that there are no truths which are fixed. That truth is relative. That if everyone agrees that the sky is green then by golly the sky is darn well green.

Now, teach them to harass, bully, and intimidate everyone who disagrees that the sky is green. How long do you think it will take before everyone believes that the sky is green?

Welcome to the internet age. Isn't the sky a lovely shade of shamrock green today?

No. This rumor has been floating around for awhile.

The weirdest part of that, but so what if she has Parkinson's (not that I think she does). How does that make her unfit to be President?

I thought that requirement was gone when Obama got elected. Maybe that's why Republicans hate him?
