There will be a new regular primary thread on Friday.

Do NOT post TVIV garbage about the debates in this thread. You have been warned.

-------------------------------------------

Context for international viewers:


The Trump Administration is in its third year. Trump continues to be a godawful idiot manchild, too stupid and short of attention span to be led by the nose by Bolton and Pompeo to militarized intervention in Venezuela or Iran, but also too impulsive and racist to avoid aggravating international affairs and inadvertently dismantling American empire. The Democratic Party are a group of profoundly feckless and ineffectual opposition politicians, who alternate between explaining why impeaching the president is a terrible idea and chastising Trump for being insufficiently war thirsty. Meanwhile, Republicans openly disenfranchise minority and poor voters and sabotage state and federal governments and no one even bats an eye anymore.

The president's PR lady resigned recently, and he's poised to replace her with another woman who is just as corrupt. We are also undergoing the annual outrage over the fact that America still is putting immigrants and refugees in concentration camps, which may last for a few weeks before people forget again for awhile. The Democrat primary is heading towards its first debates soon, and you can discuss that in its own thread.

We're doomed lol.

On the bright side, this very thread managed to start something of an event against one of the corporations that funds American concentration camps.

It is sad that this is an accomplishment.

*Stupid Babby*

I was watching NHK world news and there were talking about whatever Kushner's new lovely Palestinian aid plan is. The anchor goes "Trump, when asked for comment, puts it in more simplier terms." What did he say? Something like "well the problem is they don't have any money, so... we're gonna give him money, and then money will make things better." Just like a the dumbest person in the world.

Once upon a time, a bunch of religious zealot assholes in Europe annoyed their neighbors, so their neighbors put them on boats, hopefully never to be heard from again. Upon arrival to their new home, they used the weapons and diseases they brought with them to wipe out the native population, and they successfully overcame their disgust and shame about the human body long enough to procreate and make more religious zealot assholes. Life was pretty rough, so they imported black people to do the work for them, again using their weapons and diseases. Things continued like this for a few centuries. And thus, america.

A note to the goons that activated against Wayfair: Good work comrades. I have been taking a small break now that VA primaries are over and it is good to see everyone making a difference. We can make a difference if we all activate for progressive causes and this wayfair situation is a classic example of what happens when good people wake up and get to work on bashing the fash through walkouts, boycotts, and signal boosting. People power is a vibrant and powerful force to be reckoned with and the only effective tool we have against heavily monied interests. So get out there and make some waves!


As a side note to the yarnchat: if anyone has a knitting loom pattern for the LA Dodgers mascot that they could PM me I would be much obliged. I cant find one anywhere and it's pissing me off. I am trying to make a gift for my sister-in-law :(

Edit: If everyone could also signal boost Mckayla Wilkes to get steamrollin harder that would be amazing. My soul lusts for the electoral blood of Steny Hoyer
