This man murdered his pregnant wife then strangled both his daughters and threw them in a water tank. This is the picture they use when they speak about him. Privilege is really wild to me.
WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:
"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

In Texas they can teach kids that a whale swallowed a man and spit him out three days later because God wanted to teach him a lesson but they can't teach kids that slavery was bad.
Stephen A. Smith admits he can’t wrap his head around “how the hell” the Clintons and Obamas left office worth upwards of $100,000,000 after “serving” the American people.
“Clinton was a lawyer in Arkansas, grew up poor, relatively broke. How the hell he and the Clinton Foundation are worth hundreds of millions of dollars beats me.”
“Barack Obama was a community organizer who became the President of the United States. And last time I checked, that salary ain’t over $450,000.”
“How the hell you depart from office, [together] you worth over $200 million?”
Clintons’ net worth before office: ~$1,300,000
Clintons’ net worth today: ~$120,000,000
Obamas’ net worth before office: ~$1,300,000
Obamas’ net worth today: ~$70,000,000
To outright say that candidates with AIPAC backing are victims of civil rights violations simply for not being elected? Yeah they’re grasping at straws
ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt says the election results in New York City are antisemitic and will lead to more Jewish people being kicked out of coffee shops.
He says the Civil Rights Act is being violated when AIPAC-funded politicians are mistreated.
"This is prejudice, plain and simple."
Abigail Disney famously shared what happened to her dad when he began flying private:
"So all of the sudden, we went from being comfortable, upper-middle-class people to suddenly my dad had a private jet. That's when I feel that my dad really lost his way in life..."
"If I were queen of the world, I would pass a law against private jets, because they enable you to get around a certain reality. You don't have to go through an airport terminal, you don't have to interact, you don't have to be patient, you don't have to be uncomfortable. These are the things that remind us we're human"
To be clear: Trump has no leverage here. If he doesn’t sign the housing bill within 10 days, it becomes law automatically. If, before then, he vetoes, Congress has the votes to override.
I hate that we live in such a digital panopticon where people can just record you and post you to the worldwide web and get you fired at a whim. That being said, how are you an executive at JPMorgan and dumping trash on the ground to steal a public trash can?
SERIOUS QUESTION: Why is it socially acceptable to tell poor people how to spend their money ?? But when we ask the rich to stop hoarding wealth, the response is always “it’s their money”.
The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while
bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...
but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”
Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.
