That's a Polish version. , and it does look pretty bad ass. I think a USA banner is in order.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

Second - bizarre as the birther stuff was, it originated from the Hillary campaign. And if it were true, there would be zero racism involved. It would be in fact a legitimate issue. Regardless of whether or not he was our first black president. What, do you believe that just because he is our first black president he is absolved. from any wrongdoing or potential scandal? Sorry, it doesn't work that way. You don't get to arbitrarily assign intent when someone questions whether or not Obama was born in the United States. What about John McCain? Or Ted Cruz? Born outside of the geographical United States, but were still naturalized citizens. Do you think questioning their citizenship would be racist as well?

Scooby huh? I totally missed that one! I guess should have known! Hillary is the root of all evil.

Knowledge is a bitch

Politico, April 22, 2011: The answer lies in Democratic, not Republican politics, and in the bitter, exhausting spring of 2008. At the time, the Democratic presidential primary was slipping away from Hillary Clinton and some of her most passionate supporters grasped for something, anything that would deal a final reversal to Barack Obama.

Fact check.org and smopes try to spin the story as false, claiming that the Hillary campaign proper wasn't involved. Not officially at least two. Which is exactly how these things work. Get a "unaffiliated" group which does support a candidate, but doesn't officially get any marching orders from it to put out information, or participate in the actions which will hurt the opposition. Just like "ducks on the ground" which was another Hillary operation , intended to cause chaos at Trump rally's.

The reference to "there are four lights" is from Star Trek – the next generation. I have used this meme a few times here before.




The Cardassian was trying to get Picard to say that there are five lights. Four or five, really what difference does it make anyways? But that is how they play these games. Get you to admit a small lie, something that isn't true , just a trivial thing. Once they do that, it becomes easier for you to fall in line and repeat other, larger lies

His interrogator was David Warner, who has played Human, Klingon, and Kardashian on Star Trek.

Just curious, would you ever have eaten that wormy egg thing that Picard did? Seems to me he wasn't there that long to be so desperately hungry.

I didn't make this up. There is documented history about this.

Why do you say shit like this? I expect that out of reaverfan who seems to have drank the BAMN koolaid.

You realize that you just said that the President fucked his own daughter?

Hope you got a VPN...

Scratch that.... I've already said that I think anybody who puts a VPN subscription on their credit card is automatically put on a government watch list.

There’s a lot that Congress could do to restrain the things about Trump that are odd and abnormal without Republicans needing to abandon any of their longstanding policy commitments.

Indeed, we even have a concrete example of the kind of thing that needs to be done from back in July, when overwhelming bipartisan majorities in Congress voted to tie Trump’s hands on Russia sanctions. This is how, in theory, the American system of checks and balances is supposed to work.

But mostly it hasn’t been working. Republicans could easily change that, without jeopardizing the policy priorities they share with the president.

They could restore funding that Trump’s Department of Homeland Security eliminated for de-radicalization programs aimed at white nationalists.

They could hold hearings on the potential threat of white nationalist groups to the country.

They could make their anti-Trump statements on Fox News and conservative talk radio outlets, delivering the message to the people who need to be persuaded that Trump is wrong rather than simply distancing themselves from him in the eyes of mainstream audiences.

They could also, of course, formalize and solemnify their disagreement with Trump though an official resolution of censure.

They would be greatly mitigating the threats posed by Trump’s alarming flirtations with neo-Nazis and sketchy Russia-related behavior, without in any way compromising conservative policy principles.

The civil war had very little to do with slavery. I'm sure for the rich elite that owned a ton of slaves on their plantation this was a big factor, but a large majority of people who lived in the south did not "own" slaves. A large majority of men who fought and died in the war did not "own" slaves.

Our country, the United States, was founded upon freedom from tyranny and being treated like "slaves" by the monarchy.


LOL... yeah. The history books say that too. But reality shows that from day one we had slavery here in the states. My ancestors were Irish. The only rights they had above blacks essentially boiled down to having the choice of telling their employer no when they wanted to fuck their daughter, at the cost of being booted from their shack to go and find another Boss that hopefully wasn't feeling so rapey.

Every since slavery has ended in the US we have continually exploited 3rd world nations for labor for pennies a day. Just because nobody really reports on it doesn't mean that it's not still happening.

See what I mean??

There is a very real and present danger in bearing false witness up on those with whom you disagree. Calling those who are racist when in fact they are not racist, demesnes the actual word itself. It's like crying wolf over and over again hoping that maybe one Time the charge me actually stick.



We're getting to that point, aren't we Rap?

People are just going to say, "yeah, whatever, I'm racist". What does that even mean when they use that word to describe somebody a few dozen times a day?

I never get called a Nazi in real life, but I hear it so much here that it's just becoming laughable. That's not right. There is nothing funny about Nazism.



Great Trek reference. I didn't watch a lot of TNG so I never saw that ep. My only additional thought on the matter would not to place blind trust in what the Right Wing media says either. I'm pretty sure they're trying to get you to say there's 5 lights too, just of a different color.

7 Things to Know About the Mindset of the Neo-Nazis
The era of the loud and proud white racist is upon us.

"Dehumanization is at the heart of every campaign of genocide and system of oppression. Dehumanization yields a justice system that criminalizes, over-polices and over-incarcerates entire groups, which is horrifying enough. When you continue the trend of describing people as not fully human, it becomes a lot easier to put them in gas chambers and internment camps; render them as chattel property; or kill off the native people of countries you've colonized."

White Supremacists Stand by Trump, and He Returns the Favor
At a press conference, the president blamed the melee in Charlottesville on the left as much as the right, echoing far-right talking points.

Who knew we'd have a Nazi as president in 2017? I did, but I'm smarter and more observant than you.
