I poo poo you not, deplorables are already screaming "FALSE FLAG!"

Yup I'm from the Delta (but live in Jackson now) and every right winger I know from the area claims it was actually Hillary supporters.

I've mentioned this before, but if you look at the chairs, they obviously need a fresh coat of paint, and they're sitting out in the driveway, as if they were about to be painted.

And coincidentally, someone else used black spray paint to vandalize his driveway with a curiously phrased message.

Just to play devil's advocate... maybe he was going to paint the chairs, left the can out by the chairs and someone walking by saw the flag and decided to be opportunistic.

Just learned people celebrate Robert E Lee's birthday instead of MLK in the South.

So, the South really is a horrid dungheap without any redeeming qualities, huh?

No we celebrity MLK day. Just, on top of that, some really racist poo poo heads decided that "if they get their hero then we get ours" without realizing how terribly lovely of a thing that is.

Hell even here in Mississippi it gets pretty publicly ridiculed every time it comes up. Obviously there's a racist majority that supports it, but it's not like we're all down here going "wait... doesn't EVERYBODY celebrate Robert E Lee day??"


As to the second part of your statement, yeah that's still mostly true.

gently caress that. My husband and I run a small but moderately prosperous business. As self-employed people, Obamacare is our only option. As people who are not poor, we get subsidies of "gently caress" and "all" and our premiums for a modest family plan are crippling.

Not that your premiums would be any less, but can you not buy individual plans form other insurance agencies when you're self employed?

A nice, easy to read, breakdown of the bullshit behind emailgate from Vox.

A coworker just admitted she voted for Trump because she doesn't want the first female president to also be the first impeached female president

That's... a viewpoint I haven't heard before, that's for sure

translation: I'm a racist shitbag that hates my own gender.... but I don't want YOU to know I'm a racist shitbag that hates my own gender so here's a crappy token excuse.

That's the impression I got, yes

Can't really call anyone out on it though because it's a very right-wing work environment and I'd get very fired--already mentioned I've caught crap for admitting to voting Hillary

It's intensely frustrating to be able to do nothing more than say "hm, ok" or similar noncommittal grunts, especially because to a certain type of coworker that just invites more "discussion"

Brother I work in Mississippi. I more than know how you feel. :(:hf::(

It's not the first time he's said it obviously, but goddamned "Don't boo... VOTE!" is like my favorite line ever.

Probably already posted and it's from the HuffPo, but I loved the editor's note to the article about Obama defending a Trump supporter:

HuffPo posted:

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
