This is why Trump’s approval hasn’t changed much in 4 years. #VoteHimOut #VoteThemAllOut
Never forget
Donald Trump’s #VeteransDay message: “...you can shoot me, but you’ll have to kill us all.”

"I have a little conflict of interest, because I have a major, major building in Istanbul ... It’s called Trump Towers. Two towers, instead of one. Not the usual one, it’s two. And I’ve gotten to know Turkey very well.”
— Donald J Trump, Dec. 2015
Trump: “I've Made a Lot of Sacrifices”
America’s Kurdish Allies #TrumpBodyCount Women and Children
I have visited nations ravaged by civil war. @realDonaldTrump I have never imagined such a quote to be repeated by a President. This is beyond repugnant.

#UkraineMitch and Republicans, this coming from fellow Republican who served in the Air National Guard and is a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. #NatSec #UkraineGate #RussiaGate
FBI and Homeland Security, are Trump and his supporters threatening Civil War — a threat to National Security? #TerroristWatchList
DOJ minus #TraitorBarr, if an American group threatens Civil War — is it a crime? #DomesticTerrorism
#CivilWar2 is trending — so are #CivilWarSignUp #CivilWarPotLuck
If so, someone needs to take this sleeze ball out early.
The Joint Chiefs, National Guard and US Armed Forces are better suited to answer Stone’s treasonous call for a civil war if Democrats win the House!
I ask him to clarify. “If there is an illegal attempt to remove the president,” he says, “you’re going to have a civil war in this country.” Meaning actual violence? “There’s white-hot hatred for Trump,” Stone answers, “and there is white-hot opposition to an attempt to [re]move him. Anything that is judged to be doctored or cooked up, it’s not going to go well.”
Who, then, will fire the first shot in this civil war? “Who[ever] wins the House,” he says.
The enemy isn’t crossing the border. The enemy is already here #WhiteDomesticTerrorists!
What is #LawAndOrder Trump, Jeff Sessions’ DOJ and FBI going to do about the #EnemiesWithin #DomesticTerrorism; White DOMESTIC Terrorists?
“fourth generation” = Fourth Reich #WhiteSupremacy
The only two politicians Ramos had tweeted about, according to Hutson, were Donald Trump and Michael Peroutka, a wealthy neo-Confederate funder turned Maryland county councilman. Hutson has written about Peroutka, as have I. Peroutka had major funding ties to former Alabama judge and U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore, as well to the League of the South, whose leader, Michael Hill, had written approvingly about plans to form paramilitary groups to fight a militarized “fourth generation” culture war, one of whose targets would be the media.
Make Assassinations Great Again
Check, Ramos killed “members of the hostile media“ #MassMurder
“To oversimplify, the primary targets will not be enemy soldiers; instead, they will be political leaders, members of the hostile media, cultural icons, bureaucrats, and other of the managerial elite without whom the engines of tyranny don’t run.”, Michael Hill, League of the South
Make Holy Wars Great Again
In the court documents Ramos referred to himself as an agent of the Inquisition, and a crusader who cannot be killed. The Inquisition was a holy inquiry, where church authority superseded that of the civil authority. A crusader is the hand of God, waging a holy war, in the same way that the Charlie Hebdo massacres were. [In the documents] Ramos appeals to "higher authority," and he capitalizes "Higher Authority." This is similar to the way that the violent wing of the anti-abortion movement has appealed to "Higher Law," which they capitalize, to justify homicide against providers of safe, legal abortion, as well as judges and political figures who support the right.
These are the values and goals of the GOP and Trump Base
This Day in History: Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United Sates. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.
Happy Juneteenth, Tumblr 🖤
Uncanny Resemblance
Jeff Sessions and Alexander H. Stephens #reincarnation
Alexander H. Stephens was the Vice Pres. of the Confederate States of America. Stephens delivered the “Cornerstone Speech” outlining the major reason for the Civil War.
Our new government is founded upon exactly [this] idea; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery -- subordination to the superior race -- is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.

Would you rather be "smart and sad" or "dumb and happy"?
National political opinion polls are usually fairly staid affairs involving Presidential approval ratings, healthcare, and religious beliefs. Over the course of a year in partnership with a professional research firm, Cards Against Humanity is running a different sort of opinion poll with more unusual questions. The early results are at Pulse of the Nation.
They asked people if they’re rather be “dumb and happy” or “smart and sad”. The “dumb and happy” respondents were more likely to say human-caused climate change is not real:
The majority of black people surveyed believe a second civil war is likely within the next decade:
65% of Democrats surveyed would rather have Darth Vader as President than Donald Trump:
And one’s approval of Donald Trump correlates to a belief that rap is not music:
And farts. They asked people about farting. Jokes aside, the results of this poll bummed me out. Many of the responses were irrational – Darth Vader would be much worse than Trump and Democrats believe that the top 1% of richest Americans own 75% of the wealth (it’s actually 39%)…and people with more formal education guessed worse on that question. The divide on rap music is racial and generational but also points to a lack of curiosity from many Americans about what is perhaps the defining art form of the past 30 years. But the worst is what Americans thought of each other…Democrats think Republicans are racist and Republicans don’t think Democrats love America. The polarization of the American public continues.
At this very moment, “Dumb and Happy” because Trump is a Darth Vader apprentice. His only superpowers are GOP mind control and lying.
