THis just is a perfect example of how Fox grooms people to be outraged about bs stuff

That maybe one person make a critical comment and they blame us for someone else’s opinion.

Fox is the groomer network!

I think he's going to implode soon

All those lies and rhetoric are eating at him as he gets more desperate to perpetuate it. Something bad again is going to happen and he’s going to get the blame.

Perhaps even a nervous breakdown live on air. He has a psychotic way about him.

This is so sad

I feel so embarrassed now that when I was young I wasn't either all black or white. I hated being a person who could be identified both ways. The black girls were so mean to me in high school because I had pale skin and nice hair and the white girls didn’t know what to make of me. I had many different friend of ethic backgrounds who accepted me fortunately. In college I expressed my angst To a professor who told me I was a person of the future. I had hoped by my age there wouldn’t be so much racial bigotry but here it is in full force Vomited up everyday by an illegitimate president stoking the flames. And it’s so obvious he has emboldened the police even more to racially profile an obvious black man who is just living an authentic lawful life.

They are brain damaged at this point

So much brain washing has damaged their brains and destroyed neurons. And their pre frontal cortexes ( reasoning, empathy part ) are permanently paralyzed.

They are truly goners.

My husband works with quite a few of them and they are unreachable..

In 1994 I went to Atlanta to attend my Dad's military reunion for black veterans

Never had been to the south before and the day after the convention we had a free day so we asked the concierge what would be a good place to go. He suggested Stone Mountain. We rented a car and drove out there. I never knew the history of that mountain. Anyway we took the tram up and this guy on the tram kept saying this is a monument or the greatness of whites people And white power ! I am a light skinned black woman married to a white man and our son was almost 3 in his stroller. I turned away from that guy not wanting him to see the fear in my heart and eyes. He had no idea what I was. We got to the top and I was off that tram so quickly I told my husband to deal with our son in the stroller. Once up there it was a striking view but very hot and we didn’t stay up there long. But I noticed there were only white people up there. It hit me all of a sudden this was a monument to the confederacy. And we left and went back down. I grew up in San Francisco and honestly was not a history buff then. I brought a souvenir kitchen coaster with my name on it that had Stone Mountain engraved on it. To this day I have it in my kitchen and chuckle.

But that guy saying white power will always stay in my memory.

Philippine Dissenters May Face Terrorist Designation Sorry if it's already been posted

MANILA — President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines is expected to sign sweeping antiterrorism legislation that critics said on Thursday would allow the authorities to classify government opponents as terrorists and detain people for critical social media posts.

The measure, which has passed both houses of Congress, neared finalization as the United Nations released a scathing report that cites widespread human rights violations under Mr. Duterte, including the extrajudicial killing of more than 8,000 people.

Despite years of international and domestic criticism over rights abuses, Mr. Duterte appears eager to double down on his strategy of suppressing dissent and to give the police an even freer hand to crack down.

Critics said the legislation was so broadly written that it would allow the arrest and detention of people without a warrant or a charge for criticizing the government or acts such as causing property damage or carrying a weapon.

This is MF45 wet dream playbook. I wonder if Duarte is also a putin puppet.

This is what will happen to us if we don’t vote every last republican out of office. Smash them like cockroaches. They have shown us what they are by not speaking out against the police terrorism we are experiencing with the brutality of Americans in our country .

Sun Tzu, The art of War


“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

We all have to take a pledge that no matter what the poll numbers say that Biden is ahead

We must vote like he is behind. Otherwise the USA is DOA as a country.

That Orange evil Phat pfuk needs to go!

In the early nineties i worked for an investment banking firm as Silicon Valley was taking off.

Apple was starting to gain momentum and the firm got a piece of the investment banking pie of these high tech companies. They used to give us bonuses twice a year. A few times I got bonuses of at least $50,000 part of it was an IRA contribution. I saved those bonus letters and can’t believe I got so much. I saved those bonuses and used them as a down payment on my house and had my kitchen remodeled and expanded and to this day still have much of that money in my IRA. In 2007 I moved the IRA from mutual funds into cash. I had left that business in 1996 and the broker told me I was crazy to cash out now. After the market crashed in 2008 he called and asked me if I had any more insight in the market and if I wanted to come work for him. I said “no I like the money but not the early morning hours”. A guy I worked with at the time kept his money in those mutual finds and he got pretty much wiped out sadly in 2008.

Saw Steve Jobs several times in our offices he was a jerk in real life) sadly.

My sister has the same problem

She has no control and has to wear diapers. She is only 68 and I feel so bad for her. She has cut down on her eating because of it. She takes so many meds for it, I wonder if they are part of the cause.
