It’s that time in election season when I’m starting to see Facebook friends post shit like, “At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter who you vote for, just vote!”
It does matter. Please stop enabling megalomaniacal racists. The end.
THIS.
If you need ANOTHER reason to vote Democrat this election season, here’s one:
If the Republicans succeed in taking the House, they will have complete control of EVERY branch–both Legislative branches, the Supreme Court, and the White House.
They WILL overturn the Affordable Care Act, they WILL gut Medicare and Medicaid, they WILL make health insurance go back to how it used to be, where companies could deny people with preexisting conditions and charge mountains of money for prescriptions and various services including maternal care.
Trust me, THIS WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY (Oct. 10, 2018)
So yes, IT DOES matter who you vote for, it ALWAYS matters who you vote for.
Vote Democrat.
When you look at your bank account after paying all the various bills and see that you have over $100 left until your next payday, you’re first…
but then remind yourself “It’s OVER $100…” and suddenly you’re…
…and then realize after your mini celebration, how *sad* and *pathetic* that is
1×03 I think it’s terrific that people make their own lives, especially women. Write to them today and name me as your reference. I can give it without ever specifying precisely what your work here has been.
Two of these people are still alive and THEY DON’T LIKE YOU, TRUMP.
Fuckin’ weird ass narcisstic…
The only one in this photo that makes sense is Nixon.
He’s made himself the centre of attention, them hanging on his every word and laughing at his jokes. Also he appears to have lost about thirty pounds. This idiot is such a fucking narcissist.
Thirty pounds? More like sixty.
And according to the article, I’m not the only one who only saw this:
Wasn’t Nixon a democrat? I mean he was clearly Shady about how he handled political Rivals, but I think even he would have ejected most of Trumps policies.
No…Nixon was definitely a Republican.
I’d say in terms of sheer paranoia and racism, Nixon and Trump are about equal. Nixon was smarter than Trump, certainly.
Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Dwight D. Eisenhower would NEVER associate themselves with Trump or what the Republican Party has become. They wouldn’t even begin to recognize it.
The Republican Party of Lincoln’s day resembles more the Democratic Party of today. “Radical Republicans”, who were very anti-slavery, have more in common now with left-leaning Democrats than with Trump’s GOP.
Roosevelt was a die-hard conservationist (it was under his presidency that the national parks service began) and would choke at seeing what Trump has done with the EPA and allowing big oil and big gas to put pipe lines through our national parks.
And Eisenhower was one of, if not THE, top General who served in WWII–something which Trump knows nothing about because of “bone spurs”.
An honest painting would depict at least those 3 turning their backs and walking away
…an even more honest painting would depict Teddy punching Trump in the face, before shouting “BULLY!”
”Some of the most commercially successful books from the ‘20s and ‘30s were actually romance fiction written by women, but they weren’t considered the best of the best. ‘Any university syllabus of the 1920s will say, James Joyce one of the most seminal authors of the 20th century, but actually one of the bestselling novels in 1926 is Georgette Heyer’s These Old Shades,’ says Gillis. ‘This is what people are reading, they’re not reading Joyce.’ In the 1930s, Daphne Du Maurier’s Rebecca ‘sold very well,’ says Gillis, but ‘wasn’t seen as the pinnacle of a certain kind of fiction. This is because ‘mechanisms’ like university syllabi and book prizes ‘valorise a certain kind of reading,’ according to Gillis. ‘What often happens is writing by women and about women — and I’d extend that notion to the romantic comedy — gets pushed to the peripheries,’ she says.”
