The orange creature and Republicans are fucking us to the max

We're supposed to buy Barr's interpretation of Mueller's report.

We're supposed to buy Trump's "victory" dance.

We're supposed to buy that the Mueller investigation was a nothing burger.

Wake the fuck up. Regarding Mueller's report, whatever is in it, it's currently being used as just another huge dose of Republican bullshit/lies/evil.

Over the past couple of days, many Americans have said: "Okay. The prez didn't collude."

"Collude" is a bullshit distraction and we still don't know the actual truth about it. But the orange creature sure as hell tried to cover up everything that occurred over the past few years. He tried to keep everyone away from his financial dealings. He tried to keep everyone away from the knowledge that he was an unfit imbecile. He tried to deprive every American of fairness/decency/democracy/sanity. He has created a scenario (with the help of Fox "news," the GOP propaganda outlet) in which he is the great white hope and Democrats are socialists. When they use the term "socialist," they're trying to generate images of Joseph Stalin. Social democracy is not communism. But regardless of that, they're trying to make us Dems look unacceptable. And they're trying to make their base think we are a "Commie threat" to God, America, (and, of course, guns).

Here's a fact. The occupant of the White House is incapable of speaking truth, and might be totally insane. And the Republican Party is a criminal enterprise that backs him and will break rules/laws, and even ignore the Constitution, to hold onto power. To sum this up, Trump and Republicans don't care about your preferences, your beliefs, your views of what America is or should be. They don't give a rat's ass if you live or die.

The DOJ (Barr) is now Trump's ally in covering up some of the worst crimes that have ever been committed against our Constitution. And with the exception of the Dems in the House, too many are either ignoring the whole thing, or sitting around waiting, waiting for some elusive thing called justice.

There's no election coming up in the immediate future, and human beings have short memories. So now that the Mueller report is out, the orange gargoyle and the Republican Party are once again trying to kill Obamacare. And this alone should show every sentient person that Republicans are trying to fuck the majority of American people, their own voters included. What more proof is needed that Republicans don't give a fuck about you, your well being, your health, or your life?

The ignorance of so many Americans is mind boggling. Most of us have disagreed with the Republican Party over many years. But we really believed it was a genuine disagreement on policy. Actually, for the past few decades, it wasn't about "policy." It was good versus evil. (Yeah, they have all the televangelists telling us that the GOP is the hand of God, but only the most ignorant people on the planet would buy the rancid shit they're selling.) The Republican Party has become a deadly disease devoted to seizing power and controlling our lives from now on.

Will we allow that to happen? Are we actually going to let the disease called the Republican Party continue along their merry way without us fighting them 100%?

Sadly, at this moment, I'm beginning to imagine GOP labor camps. And over the entrances of these camps, I'm visualizing arches with signs that read Arbeit Macht Frei. That was the sign over the entrance of Auschwitz and many other camps. It means "Work Sets You Free."

Is that over the top? Do you really believe it can't happen here? Are you actually that naive?

Believe what you will. But if you have any sense of history, Trump and the GOP should scare the hell out of you.

The report has been out for four days and to my knowledge not one page of it has hit the open internet.

We have a summary we can call BS. It is meaningless.

No there isnt going to be work camps. Jesus, the over the top sky is falling of this post is actually funny.

Trump isnt getting re-elected. He will leave office in disgrace as a one term president to his dustbin and fade away, a bad memory.

You're saying the same goofy stuff the cons said about obama, we said about Shrub, and they said about Clinton.

"Hurr Durr, oh teh noes, he isnt going to leave orifice!!!11!" levels of hyperbole.

And guess what? The Cons say the same stupid shit you did about getting loaded onto trains or stuck in work camps and it is just as stupid. It isnt going to happen. I know, I know, history has a tendency to repeat, but that is a well traveled road and things dont seem to be going that way... yet.

Unless you're advocating sticking GOP people in work camps, in which case while that might be funny, I would fight you just as much as I would fight them if they tried it. A government pulling that one is pretty much the very reason the 2nd amendment was put in the bill of rights. I mean, someone talking about sticking others into forced labor camps is terrifying and anathema to me and everything I stand for, and I wouldnt stand for that crap for a second because the bottom line is that we are all still Americans, even if I disagree with them.

What you're doing is demonizing people and that shit is what is dangerous.

And lastly Drumpf, as much as I dislike the dude, told "them" (Whoever "they" are) to release the entire document. Pretty sure he did that today. They were talking about it on CNN.

Who are you talking about?? This is quite a strawman you are attacking.



Wake the fuck up.


Speak for yourself. I'm awake and very aware of what's going on. Just because some people aren't freaking out with their hair on fire doesn't mean they don't understand the situation. It's rather insulting to say to such people "wake the fuck up."

Will we allow that to happen? Are we actually going to let the disease called the Republican Party continue along their merry way without us fighting them 100%?


Again, who are you talking about? Who isn't fighting them 100%? Just because you are scared and anxious and mad doesn't mean that Democratic leaders aren't fighting 100%....

The Republicans no longer believe in democracy. They want a one party system that takes care of the rich and leaves the rest of us to fend for ourselves. They do not want any government programs that help people including social security and Medicare.
