Maybe we did the world a favor!!

We understand why Trump caused Canada to make a u-turn and reject a right wing contender. But I just heard about Romania! And then there's Australia. Maybe the example of Trump caused the electorates there to wake up and vote NO!!!

Any state from Texas to Florida is Dumbfuckistan

These ignorant racist fucks have been around for three hundred fucking years, they are too stupid to EVER improve.

So how about we deal with reality, if you are a liberal living in Dumfuckistan, gtfo,

I get you have family and friends, but I got out of Dumbfuckistan, and I am tired of paying for the ignorance of the south.

Arkansas had Governors Bumpers, Pryor and Clinton. I’m too old to get out. I’m tired of paying for a lot of things. But maybe trump will do our job for us.

I would to love move back west, but the cost of moving is probably around 10,000 dollars (truck, gas for truck, stays at hotels along the way, food along the way, pets...we'll, you get the idea. And that's not counting the cost of disconnecting services at old residence, finding and paying for new residence).
Glad you got move. Many of can't afford to.

talks to this. She looks at the protests worldwide and connects them to change. Worldwide, everyone who is up against fascism (except for us, of course) has turned it away.

It's a brilliant show. She is eloquent. If you didn't watch, try to see it.

Some of the *rest of us [well, not the lazy sots who didn't vote!!! 😬 ] are trying to help Frodo and Sam get to, and into Mt Doom!

If I remember correctly in The Return of The King once the ring melts in the lava you see Sauron's troops kind of blink their eyes, and are released from the dark lord's hold on them, and they go running away!

We didn't learn, we had to do it again. Once was not enough for the US.

And by head bad guy, I mean Vladimir Putin. And by "dealt with", I mean he needs to be shown what the United States used to do to Nazi terrorists.
