this is exactly what we need, news outlets lemony-snicketting trump

I made a meme for today

[ID: The Inigo Montoya scene from Princess Bride where he says he doesn’t know what to do with his life now that he’s killed the man who killed his father, and Westley says “have you considered being a pirate?” It’s edited to say “You know, it’s very strange. I have been in the Remove Trump business for so long, now that it’s over, I don’t know what to do with the rest of my life.” Westley replies “Have you ever considered dismantling white supremacy?” Inigo happily considers the option. End ID]

BOTH PARTIES ARE NOT THE SAME, VOTE BLUE.

yes 2020 has sucked like a ravenous kirby but in november we finally get to vote that hateful orange turd out of office so eyes on the prize ya’lls

Ok but.. who are we voting in??? Both candidates suck. Gaud help I’ve never voted before.

ffs will someone PLEASE explain why voting in another shoddy white male liberal is VASTLY DIFFERENT from allowing a fascist republican to remain in office?

basically you’re voting for the ADMINISTRATION and the PARTY not the person. also: Biden is crummy. Trump is actively killing hundreds of thousands of people. There is a fucking difference. Not recognizing that difference is what got us Trump in the first place. It’s the difference between a landlord who refuses to perform repairs, and one who ACTIVELY SETS YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE. Do not let let the republican propaganda machine convince you they are the same. 

Register To Vote.

Biden believes in the system. He’ll staff the State Department and release his tax returns and listen to his daily briefing.

He won’t send anonymous stormtroopers to snatch people off the street and hold them for hours.

He won’t spend all his time every day on Twitter and react poorly to every single word that isn’t glowing with praise.

There are SO MANY differences between them.

If your choices are half an onion in a baggy that’s been in the fridge a bit too long and developed some mold, and a napalm-filled flaming dumpster that is barrelling at ninety miles an hour towards an elementary school playground, you have the moral obligation to vote for the moldy onion.

And then you support the fresher onions in the Onion House and Onion Senate, and do activism to make the moldy onion scrape some of its mold off, and by the way the fact that people were supporting fresher onions in the onion primary is already paying off in that the moldy onion’s policies have noticeably less mold than they might have a few years ago … look, this analogy has thoroughly gotten away from me, but I hope the first part was clear enough.   Moldy Onion 2020, let’s go.

Moldy Onion 2020

Moldy Onion 2020

Friendly reminder that Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 87 years old and has cancer for the fifth time and whoever wins in November will likely get to appoint her replacement who will sit on the Supreme Court for the next 30-40 years

Biden has committed that he will appoint the first black woman to the Supreme Court

Trump appointed a rapist who wants to overturn Roe v Wade (among other things)

Y'all want a badass Justice like Sonia Sotomayor or another rapist who wants to destroy your rights?

You’re not just voting for a President for four years, you’re voting for judges for the next forty

“oh but my PRINCIPLES demand that I don’t vote for anyone who’s the lesser evil! I shouldn’t have to vote for any evil!”

if your principles don’t involve harm reduction (or involve INCREASING harm in the vain hope that one day maybe people will realize they’re being harmful and change things), then your principles are crap

if your principles allow for stuff like armed coups but not for voting for a moderate, then your principles are crap and you’re also a hypocrite

Y’know, back in my day, if a pestilence swept through the land during a time of famine and flood, it meant that the reigning kings had displeased the gods and that we risked the gods’ further ire by obeying them

Then you took the king out, chopped his head off, and threw him into a bog to appease the angry gods. 

Trump has weaponized stupid.

REALLY don't like where this is going

An anguished question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’

Peni Delina Bedard · August 31, 2019  ·  The serious answer: Here’s what we really think about Trump supporters - the rich, the poor, the malignant and the innocently well-meaning, the ones who think and the ones who don’t… That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought “Fine.” That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, “Okay.” That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse, you said, “No problem.” That when he made up stories about seeing Muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, “Not an issue.” That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn’t care, you chirped, “He sure knows me.” That when you heard him illustrate his own character by telling that cute story about the elderly guest bleeding on the floor at his country club, the story about how he turned his back and how it was all an imposition on him, you said, “That’s cool!” That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw. That when you heard him brag that he doesn’t read books, you said, “Well, who has time?” That when the Central Park Five were compensated as innocent men convicted of a crime they didn’t commit, and he angrily said that they should still be in prison, you said, “That makes sense.” That when you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and that he would hire attorneys, you thought, “Yes!” That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man’s coat before throwing him out into the freezing cold, you said, “What a great guy!” That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and you have said, “Thumbs up!” That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral win, you said, “That’s the way I want my President to be.” That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they’re supposed to be regulating and you have said, “What a genius!” That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and you have said, “That’s smart!” That you have heard him say that it was difficult to help Puerto Rico because it was in the middle of water and you have said, “That makes sense.” That you have seen him start fights with every country from Canada to New Zealand while praising Russia and quote, “falling in love” with the dictator of North Korea, and you have said, “That’s statesmanship!” That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages, managed to lose track of 1500 kids, has opened a tent city incarceration camp in the desert in Texas - he explains that they’re just “animals” - and you say, “Well, OK then.” That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise. What you don’t get, Trump supporters in 2019, is that succumbing to frustration and thinking of you as stupid may be wrong and unhelpful, but it’s also…hear me…charitable. Because if you’re NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I’m sure I reblogged this before, but it’s well worth reblogging again.

Yall sleeping on this Sam L. Jackson interview about trump lmfao.

Samuel L. Jackson is an international treasure.

black queer actor, singer and aids activist. jussie smollett was a survivor of a hate crime that happened in the early hours on tuesday morning in chicago.

according to police reports, jussie was called racists and homophobic slurs by two masked attackers who then proceeded to put a noose around his neck and poured bleach on him as they yelled, “this is MAGA country!” the two attackers fled.

jussie took himself to the hospital and was treated for a fractured rib and discharged.

what happened to jussie is a hate crime.

what happened to jussie is white terrorism.

the connection to racism and homophobia are historically linked just as the continued terror against black and other marginalized groups are linked to MAGA. jussie was attacked because he is queer and because he is black.

jussie, we love you and stand with you. this attack will not silence you and it will not send us into hiding. get well. we are fighting for you! we will continue to call out homophobia and racism. we will continue to lift, support and defend black queer folks. we will continue to let MAGA folks that we bash back!

Comedians explaining the presidency:

Trevor Noah:

John Mulaney:

Bo Burnham:

Unpopular opinion but I feel the need to say this as election year draws closer and Democratic candidates are being announced:

in 2020, the ONLY GOAL is getting that orange sludge out of office. 

That’s it. That is endgame for 2020. If you stick your head up your ass so far as to think anything is more important than that at this point, get an emergency head-ass-ectomy REAL fucking quick because we CANNOT pull another 2016.

I don’t care if the Dem nominee is someone you hate, if you’ve voted Green Party for 34 years, if your goddamn mother is on the ticket. If mama isn’t the official presidential candidate from the Democratic Party, then you DO NOT VOTE FOR HER.

2020 is about blocking another four years of nightmare hell. 2020 is about caring about other people’s realities over your “conscience” (read: online woke points). It’s about standing up for every person hurt, every person harassed, every person KILLED by the hate this piece of radioactive bile spews from every disgusting orifice.

ESPECIALLY my fellow white people better take this message to fucking heart, because WE are the ones who fucked this up, ESPECIALLY my fellow white women. You are not allowed to “vote your conscience.” You are not allowed to “weigh the options.” You are suddenly a single-issue voter, and that issue is Trump Is Evil. You are voting to evict, voting to BLOCK. If the Democratic candidate is less than ideal, you suck it the fuck up for 2020.  This election is not, CANNOT be about idealism, about perfection. It’s about starting to undo four years of damage.

So from the announcement of the nominee until November 3rd, 2020, you better be all fucking in. If you don’t like their stances on certain issues, if they’re not progressive enough, if they’ve reached across the aisle too many times, worry about it November 4th. Spend the next four years pushing them left, protesting everything you don’t like, picket the fucking White House if you need to. I will be right there with you. But that starts on November 4th. Until then, we are on a straight anti-Trump train and y’all better not fucking get off it.

With the government shutdown we are getting the tiniest taste of what will happen under 45’s continued rule. Federal fucking employees in food pantry lines, SNAP benefits on the edge of running out, no food safety regulations or inspectors, national parks getting absolutely trashed, emergency disaster relief funds withheld, more deportations, more harassment, more violence.

Who does it disproportionately affect? Marginalized people. Poor people, people of color, religious minorities, trans and queer people, anyone who was already struggling pre-Trump is struggling more now that the giant orange rectal polyp is fucking up literally everything.

When your principled objection to the two-party system lands vulnerable people in deep trouble, when your dislike of the Democratic candidates neuters the opposition to Trump, when your tolerance for political discourse hits rock bottom so you decide not to vote out of sheer spite, you have ceased to have the moral high ground. 2020 will not be like any other election year we have ever seen. I’m old, so trust me on this. We cannot afford to let this continue. We cannot. We have to stop it. That means hauling your ass to the polls in 2020 and absolutely humiliating that orange bastard in the biggest landslide this country has ever seen.

If there is to be a future where we are secure, where we are not mocked literally all over the world, and where our most vulnerable citizens are truly protected, it begins with using our boots to show that massive pile of shit the fucking door.

obama’s wife was disrespected, his daughters were disrespected, HE was disrespected but he never resorted to acting like 5 year old on social media and to the press
