Some of you out there in the wider world may be getting sick of our apologies; and that is completely understandable. In 2001 we released one of historys greatest morons upon you, after slightly less than half of us voted for him (well, half the engaged voters, anyway) one not satisfied with finger-painting or collecting odd shaped potatoes, no, his hobbies included stealing from the national treasury and giving it to our richest; ripping up treaties
oh, and starting wars. So, the sane and decent half of our country apologized to you. And we meant it. But in the years after the 9-11 terrorist attacks, a good portion of our country started a long (and still ongoing) process of losing their fucking minds. A never-ending process of continually becoming dumber and meaner. Its like they sniff glue for breakfast and have meth for lunch. And those people unleashed Bush on the world a second time. And a second time, we apologized.
We were done with you? No! These glue sniffing methheads, who now proudly call themselves teabaggers, have become more populous and powerful in our congress. These whiny, reality denying, sadistic embarrassments to the human race and lets face it, there are others like them throughout the planet have tried to scuttle an agreement between our country and Iran. In the process of their temper tantrum, they made the world more dangerous by messing with international nuclear agreements, of which they have zero understanding
scratch that
they would have a better track record if they guessed at what positions they should take in important matters they seem to actively seek out the most moronic, most destructive outcome, and then push that idea. Plus, they have implied thousands of our agreements, both past and future are meaningless and subject to cancellation arbitrarily.
So, you people out there must be sick of hearing us apologize for our greedy, war mongers and torturers, our morons who believe Jesus runs the Republican Party, who think science is malleable and depends on monetary outcomes, who hate the poor, etc. Well, were sick of apologizing for them, too. But, we owe you this one.
Sorry for our dipshits again. We will honor our agreements, both past and future. And well try hard to stop any wars they are dreaming about. Thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Sane America

(6,913 posts)Their interests are focused on getting more meth. Politics isn't an issue for them. Hell, eating isn't an issue for them. They are in a place most of us wouldn't recognize and nobody wants to be in.

(17,997 posts)I would sign this letter. It's disgusting what we have to apologize for. We have to get these asswipes out of office.
What absolutely amazes me about the GOP presidential candidates signing this is how, if they, dog forbid, be elected, they have just made their time in office completely ineffectual
Thanks for a letter I can put my name to.

Some people just have to criticize. Like a mission or something

(17,997 posts)The rancor seems to have subsided a bit of late. But the place is sure smaller. Can tell just by the number of posts.
I would hate for you to leave. That would suck for all of us.

Not anymore. This post would have done well a few years ago. But now, about half the comments I get are just people being assholes, for the sake of being assholes. I had a post asking people to be nice and more inclusive in their daily lives. About half the commenters picked it apart, not on the idea; on things I never said, or like kids on Youtube - just being assholes for no reason other than they get a kick out of being basement dwelling trolls and trying to make everyone else miserable.
Ruins it. They've always been here, and it used to truly make me laugh. But now it's such a large percentage that it just makes coming here a bummer, not enjoyable. (See if one of them alerts on this.)

(17,997 posts)And wish you and others who still occasionally post or have left would come back and post more.
I truly don't understand people who just are negative to be negative.
Sorry.

Well, I guess the 2014 election was a chance to do some pre-emptive prevention, but that didn't work out too well, did it? And the 47 traitor-tot thing is a direct outgrowth of that failure.
The comments around here are becoming more and more like the infested local newspaper comment section, or the Yahoo poison pit.
And I really like the traitors-tot moniker.
