Stop Tone Policing My Outrage at this President

quote:

What’s revelatory about these people, is that they’re seemingly less bothered by anything happening in this country: the human rights atrocities, the legislative overreach, the unchecked cruelty, the prevalent hate crimes—than they are by the manner in which those of us who are bothered by it all, are saying so.


quote:

If you’re waiting for me to apologize for emotionally wounding someone with the suggestion that they may not be all that keen on people of color, or that they’re likely afraid of gay people, or that their nationalism is showing because they defend what’s happening here—it’ll be a long wait.

I think the futures of dreamers and the welfare of sick people and the safety of LGBTQ teenagers and the stability of families of immigrants are worth the raising of my voice, and the forcefulness of my delivery, and the discomfort it causes anyone.

The irony is so thick, I can't imagine what tool would be required to cut it.

Quite a mouthful of garbage coming from a clergyman, isn't it though?

this meme worked with GWB because of "Dick Cheney"

i guess at some point, they'll replace Cheney with Putin, but even then, it won't really work. maybe a Koch brother

i don’t know, slo. He likely thinks cutting taxes is theft from the poor, taking money that is rightfully the poors and giving it back to those privileged tax payers. These people are sick....

I too am an emotional eater. I feel his pain. Although mine is when my wife is being, well, like all the other wives who nag.

I enjoy the "their nationalist is showing" like it's some sort of insult. Bro, I love America.
