#republican privilege

[lenbryant]

Why is the media SILENT about this? If it were a Clinton or any other Democrat involved, there would be endless sensational headlines about it for months. It's that Republican privilege at work again.

No matter how you feel about Elon's hand gesture, the fact that Netanyahu and the ADL came so quickly to his defence is pretty telling of whose hands are in whose pockets

if you're terrified for your country's elections next year because a lot of people seem to think the solution to the government handling an international conflict in an abysmal and deplorable way is to let a group of total monsters who would handle it MUCH worse AND also potentially doom huge swaths of oppressed people at home as well as our entire literal planet get into power, by ignoring the way our deeply flawed but also deeply entrenched system realistically works

clap your hands...?

(I cannot understand trying to stop heinous and unnecessary killing- which disgusts and saddens me, too! how could it not?! -by handing the election to people who want to do even more of that exact thing. the math isn't mathing, as they say)

Self-made billionaires are self-generated illusions. Donald Trump is a prime example.

Trump is a nepo baby who got into college and obtained a military deferment through graft and ended up with a huge bundle from Daddy Fred. He squandered his wealth on projects which showed poor judgement.

It was TV producer Mark Burnett who rescued Trump by making him the star of The Apprentice. More importantly, Trump's part in the series and offshoot gave tens of millions of viewers the false impression that he was actually a savvy genius businessman rather than a loser who declared bankruptcy six times in real life.

Enormous wealth isn't an indicator of virtue or genius. More often than not it is a sign that you are a good con (wo)man or that you were very good at choosing your parents.

Poor people who idolize the filthy rich often end up as victims in scams which only make the rich richer. *cough* Trump University *cough*

I swear to fuck if it turns out that Trump wins because some of y'all are so obsessed with moral purity that y'all let a racist, queerphobic, sex offender aspiring dictator who literally incited a riot at the capital and openly said that if he is given power, he will make life hell for anyone who is not a rich white cishet man become president rather than vote for Harris, then we're about to throw some hands, because we do NOT have any wiggle room to play around that. And y'all BETTER not act surprised if the fascist gets elected into office and starts doing fascist shit, especially with how vocal he has been about wanting to do fascist stuff.

"....Across most of the U.S., wolverines were wiped out by the early 1900s from unregulated trapping and poisoning campaigns. About 300 surviving animals in the contiguous U.S. live in fragmented, isolated groups at high elevations in the northern Rocky Mountains.

Wolverines join a growing number of animals, plants and insects — from polar bears in Alaska to crocodiles in southern Florida — that officials say are at growing risk as increasing temperatures bake the planet, altering snowfall patterns and raising sea levels...."

"...The animals resemble small bears and are the world’s largest species of terrestrial weasels. Sometimes called “mountain devils,” they thrive in harsh alpine environments.

"...Republican lawmakers in Montana had urged the administration to delay its decision, claiming the scientists’ estimates were too inaccurate to make a fair call about the dangers faced by wolverines. The lawmakers, led by hard-right conservative Rep. Matt Rosendale, warned that protections could lead to future restrictions on activities allowed in wolverine habitats, including snowmobiling and skiing...."

A Patrick Henry Moment

I would like to clarify your position: Did you vote to overturn the rule of law in favor of establishing a system based on privilege and the concept of the divine right associated with the Republican Party? In a land where freedom’s flame once burned bright,You chose to dim its glow, to shun the light.To trade the law for privilege’s ease,And grant the right, as if by divine decree. Oh, what a…
