"In recent years, the Tea Party and then Trump and the miscreants he has empowered have accentuated the GOP’s racist, nativist, and authoritarian side. It is not a fascist party in the traditional sense, but the resemblances are more than a little worrisome.

And so, Reagan-style friendly fascism has largely disappeared from the Republican fold. But for what has taken its place, this would be a reason to celebrate.

Meanwhile, the spirit of the “Reagan revolution” lives on in the other duopoly party –where, thanks to the Clintons and others like them, efforts to keep “the donor class up” and everyone else down continue in a seemingly more benign way."

Our supposed democracy is a sham with the Citizens United ruling.

“Shouldn’t there be one party that unambiguously supports cutting the military budget, a party that is straight up in favor of gun control, gay marriage, higher taxes on the rich, universal health care, legalizing pot, and steep direct taxing of polluters? ...What we need is an actual progressive party to represent the millions of Americans who aren’t being served by the Democrats, because bottom line: Democrats are the new Republicans.”

Maher sucks...he is an arrogant, holier than thou 1%er...but he is right a lot and leans left, so I can deal with him...

And to answer the question posed by the article, had (S)Hilary won, the rich would still be getting richer, Congress still be doing fuck all and the country would still be divided into several different angry camps. BUT...we would not have a POTUS with such a raging inferiority complex that he has to threaten wars, insult those who can do nothing for him, hired a full crew of idiots (With all due respect to idiots...) is smacked with a new, valid and viable controversy on a regular basis and embarrasses us every fucking time he opens his Putincockholster. In other words, we would be better off. Not much mind you...but we would be better off. And still have some self respect.

And lets face it. Until a viable, realistic 3d or 4th party arises in this country, we are well and truly fucked and owned by the special interests that control the big 2. So you may as well kick back, crack one open and flare up a fatty while you try to find a way to enjoy the buggery.

pray death takes 535 congressmen/senators in their sleep over the next 2 years....

In their sleep?
Pity, there's a few I'd prefer to have "die screaming".......

Do they have to die screaming?
Screaming disturbs others. As well, screaming also possibly indicates a violent death, and I don't want any collateral damage. These shit-stains do enough damage as it is. Is not getting lost in a desert environment and slowly dying in the broiling sun of dehydration not effective also?

Just wunderin'

 

[DaveW]

Look just make those southern moochers pay for a sound proof wall and you'll be sweet as bro!

*edit* also maybe look at electrifying it to stop them heading north to freedom land.

I believe if you get them to take elephant tranquilizer (carfentanyl) disguised as Viagra, they would all drift off to sleep, never to wake again, in a way that would leave their legacy permanently stained (Dusty Meatcurtains or whatever her name is).
