Mummy Xzibit posted:When I think about Vilerat (and we all should) it makes me want to not for a loving second give an inch to Republicans on anything ever, in his memory alone. Right there with you. My transition from "guy who likes to think he's a centrist that leans Dem" to full on, gently caress Republicans forever, was crystallized in that moment. I remember seeing the famous picture of him walking away from the press conference smiling and it still makes me just as angry now as it did then.

I always read "Vilerat" in my head as some sort of pseudo-frenchy word (vill-eh-RAHT) and when I found out it was just Vile Rat I laughed anyway

He can try to invade Pakistan and try to claim its Iran but I don't think he actually has the balls to do so. Trump is basically a toothless yappy dog that cowers when anything bigger than a foot approaches him.

God, I remember a coworker of mine bringing up sean smith as an American conservative hero, and I just lost it at him. The poo poo people were parroting from garbage Facebook memes about the victims in benghazi and blaming Obama or Hillary any democrat for it at the time (or still, really), just purge them all

Considering that black people are the cornerstone of the Democratic party, it's pretty remarkable that out of 49 Democratic senators, only one has a black chief of staff. Also, how the hell are there only 3 black senators? And one of them is Tim Scott?? I was expecting there to be like 5 or 6 at the very least, sheesh.
