Seems like your optimism was warranted.

Now that Bannon's out, I have a feeling everything is gonna be all right from now on.

Holy SHIT! I turned the TV off because I couldn't take more details about the Barcelona massacre for now, and then this happened... (Note to self: always keep it on, that's what the mute button is for...)

This. This is what's on a lot of people's minds. This.

TRUE STORY:

A woman in a town relatively close to where my mother lives attended a peace vigil for the people in Charlottesville the other day. Candles and sitting and silence in the dark. That's it. Prayers for the dead and the suffering, etc.

This woman's home was broken into when she was gone, and FUCKING SWASTIKAS were spray painted on her door and walls.

Seriously. This happened. Saw the photos. Swastikas. In a little rural community whose main attraction is its health food store and vintage theater.

I'm ... I don't even Fucking... I can't! I CANT! I can't Fucking do it!!! This has to be a Fucking acid trip. Someone slipped me some mescaline. Most logical explanation.

!@#$%! 08.18.2017 09:03 PM

mescaline is good shit. makes you less afraid of death.

chickenshit vandalism is not a force... not yet anyway.

but you're right those people are out there, hiding.

Look, as vomitous as this is, we knew it was coming. We've been saying it on this very thread for eighteen fucking months now. Trump rally after Trump rally: Confederate flags in the crowd — and currently I'm not in the mood of making irrelevant distinctions between neoconfederates, neonazis and neoklansmen. Neofuck them all.

I'm not completely jaded; the mass of putrid orange gelatine and his revolving lineup of "aides" can still shock me on a weekly basis. But what would REALLY shock me is this turd acting like a marginally decent human being for a minute. There's a saying that goes, "Every country has the president it deserves"; I certainly don't believe it applies everywhere, especially given that in 1973 Henry Kissinger replaced the president of my country with a genocidal dictator. But even taking into account Hillary Clinton's massive popular vote lead and Russia's intervention, I do think "America" brought this onto itself. The colossal willful ignorance + the ridiculously obsolete electoral structure + the pathetic weakness of those who knew better = what else should have anyone expected to happen?

evollove 08.19.2017 06:11 AM

Yeah, I feel stupid and naive.

With my own peepers I saw a fellow holding a "Whites for Trump" sign. In my own fucking town. Thought it was just one asshole.

Should've realized he had pals. Should've realized his pals can organize. Idiot.

But "Civil war" is a little dramatic.

America is just throwing up its bile all over its chest.

Said so well, thanks! TSN! I'll never despair for humanity as long as there's people like you. Hearts & flowers from OR!

An Old Story
By Tracy K. Smith

We were made to understand it would be
Terrible. Every small want, every niggling urge,
Every hate swollen to a kind of epic wind.

Livid, the land, and ravaged, like a rageful
Dream. The worst of us having taken over
And broken the rest utterly down.

A long age
Passed. When at last we knew how little
Would survive us—how little we had mended

Or built that was not now lost—something
Large and old awoke. And then our singing
Brought on a different manner of weather.

Then animals long believed gone crept down
From trees. We took new stock of one another.
We wept to be reminded of such color.

Antifa = morons, gonna fuck everything up even worse.
God damn them.

Now every time I try to argue with a closet Nazi-sympathizer, they can just show me clips of Antifa beating a woman "for holding an American flag" (not sure if that's the actual reason) and feel totally vincidated.

"See? Lefties are just as bad"

Thanks, Antifa. Thanks doods. Totally sticking it to the Nazis by acting like a fucking militia. Fuck you, you perennial adolescents. You fucking posers. You're fucking things up, and you're going to play a part in this getting bigger and nastier. Goddammit. Fucking children.

so, official alpacalypse starts with the eclypse today or what?

best place to wait for a incoming nuclear missile: in the wide open, near a military installation.

Severian 08.21.2017 10:13 AM

Ladies and gentleman, our president cannot even be a role model for wearing eclipse glasses.

Bottom, have we hit you yet? No? Shit.
