@jimgoad Didn’t this guy physically attack two different Vietnamese men for being Vietnamese? Beware the virtue-signalers. There’s no need to virtue-signal in public unless you’re insecure about your virtuousness. ~ @chamblee54 “if the people at the bottom are thrown into the dull and the opium abuse thats a very bad thing” ~ In 2015, Salon posted a festive piece. “Indiana’s Mike Pence is starting to look like Lester Maddox — without the spine.” I made this comment: “It is highly unlikely that anyone will know who this Pence person is in forty four years.” Political predictions are risky. ~ Ben Franklin sent a letter to Jean-Baptiste Le Roy on November 13, 1789. In this letter he said: “Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes!” ~ “you know there’s risks there too you know yeah and the idea of putting a dollar figure on a human life is repulsive to most of us I think intuitively in this context but in fact we do it all the time” ~ This has what politics has come to. It is not supporting a candidate/incumbent. It is seeing how many rude things you can say about the other candidate/incumbent. Increasingly, this name calling includes people who support the candidate/incumbent you do not like. It is a sleazy dirty business, and it makes me ashamed to be an American. ~ “it made me feel like this is a dirty business like I don’t want to be a part … it’s they’re trying to change people’s opinions with deception it’s not like they’re trying to tell you how good their guy is they’re using deception yeah they’re using fuckery it’s sleazy its sleazy it’s a sleazy business” ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress. ~ selah
