Trump is a cognitve speed bump too apparently. Or road block, rather. A literal trump card which ends all argument and ceases all rational thought. To...

It's true of course that we shouldn't let the rape charge overshadow the fact that Biden is also a racist pig who tried to extend school segregation a...

Imagine thinking the NYT - a paper for neoliberal shills - has anything of value to say on this topic.

Yeah I suppose it didnt occur to anyone to be an apologist of sexual assult in just that kind of manner.
May 10, 2020 at 21:33
Ah, sexual assault. Just another 'gotchya'. Like peek-a-boo with your penis. Or finger apparently. Guys it's OK its just a 'gotchya'.

The article doesn't really say this - in fact it almost says the opposite, that there is indeed 'plenty of enthusiasm' for that kind of thing, after w...

Biden didn't give a shit during the Michigan primaries, not sure he's going to give further shits about plebs dying during a general.

What you wrote is beneath serious engagement - the same non-engagement you gave to the subject you're writing on.
May 01, 2020 at 11:04
Hey you said it buddy. Everything else you wrote is simply this, delaborated.
