Lol it's been so obvious that the corporatist/establishment has been trying to rehab bushs image to try and differentiate him from trump.

Remember in the republican primary when trump dunked jeb over and over again; and poo poo all over dubya's legacy? Good times...good times.

everyones favortie "trans-racial" smoothbrain got a name change.

quote:

Rachel Dolezal legally changed her name in October to reflect the heritage she claims she identifies with.

The 39-year-old white former NAACP leader filed to change her name to Nkechi Amare Diallo, according to court documents in Spokane, Wash. Nkechi, short for Nkechinyere, comes from the Igbo word for “what God has given” or “gift of God” in Nigeria. Diallo, which has African origins, means “bold.” Dolezal tweeted Wednesday afternoon that “the story behind my name change will be in my book.”

best part is she is basically using the the last name of a african immigrant murdered by cops in 1999.

she is a terrible person who is basically a embodiment of why woke idpolitics is loving poo poo.

How do I say this without sounding mad online or like an idiot.

For some reason I'm more disgusted with the DNC/Dems in this country right now, more so then the GOP/Right Wingers in this country. And i can't figure that out. Perhaps it's because the GOP is up front about how lovely they are and they favor Big Business. While the recent Democrats in this county are for the exact same things that they claim they oppose in that regard...

and it ain't "truth is in the middle" when the "middle" is a "Moderate Republican". We really do not have a viable left wing party in this country and it depresses the hell out of me. Maybe MLK Jr. was onto something when he said the greatest stumbling block to justice was the "White Moderate".

it's because the democrats in power are incredibly hypocritical sellout scumbags with an insufferable holier than thou attitude

exhibit A of insufferability: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/12/bank-reform-barney-frank-wall-street-213412

the democratic party goes out of their way to kill progressive movements and agendas. they only push for reform like romneycare that fits within the overton window of the corporate donor class. they can't even push for drug reimportation from canada, a public option, or allowing medicare to negotiate prices.

they are the party of war. they are the party of wall street. they are the party of oil. they are the party of the business class who want to ship as many american jobs as they can overseas. they are basically GOP-lite.

OTOH they're really good at palette swapping their politicians and being the default party of the marginalized as a consequence of Republican prejudice.

save for the times the GOP goes "ARR TROOPS" (while you know..loving them over)? They rarely seem uncomfortable owning up to who they really are. Which is the party you just described. That's fine. i can accept that, even if i disagree with a good portion of what they stand for.

I'm more so mad at a party that is supposed to represent me, my values and what have you...then turning around to do the exact same thing as the above i just typed. Kyle Kulinski nailed it the other day. How loving sad is it that Trump is beating the Dems right now with various messages that would be considered "left wing economic populism".

The "fight for 15" peeps up in Seattle pretty much said that their biggest opposition was not from GOP politicians, but rather moderate Dems.
