the colonial system of “checks and balance”, since it has just proven itself to be utterly impotent.

This thread.

One guy of all I have been involved with. There were good guys, bad guys, and sunnavabiches, but one was pathetic. Worse, when I broke up with him, he did the fatal attraction thing. I actually called and ex bf one night and described it to him. I asked him if I could pick him up and pretend to make out in hopes of driving the guy batshit crazy enough to go home.
I pulled into an alley, and parked about half a block in. We sunk down in the seat, with the rear view adjusted to see. He slowly passed the alley, and parked! We waited over half an hour. Finally I started up the car, and coasted three blocks down the alley with no headlights, and not touching the brakes.
That got him off my tail for an hour.
I finally had to call his parents and tell them if they couldn’t keep him away, I would be contacting police.

With a P, man.

Those trying to impeach President Trump. They are sore losers before he even wins the next election.

Trump fanatics. Cabal of pathetic pathetics.

The trying is no longer an issue. He IS impeached, and sore losers or not, Stinky is such a fat and juicy target that the Democrats are going broil him with ease. The Democrats are in the position the Republicans dreamed about and wished for when Obama was President. Unlike Obama, Stinky just reeks with plausible and blatantly obvious defective vulnerabilities and a decided penchant toward sleazy criminality. He is a dreamboat of political vulnerability, and a nightmare to defend. How can the Democrats resist? Stock up on your popcorn, the show is just heating up. You ain’t seen nuthin yet.

Republican political douchebags.

About 80% of the Trump bashers in this thread…

And 100% of his defenders.

Political discourse, both online and off.

RabidWolf's avatar

Not many folks realize this. When TSHTF and this Country needs Defenders it’s going to be the Republicans, The Libertarians, and The Moderate Democrats that step up to the plate. People can hate President Trump, and talk shit all they want about him, they can hate anyone who isn’t a Democrat. Hey, it’s their right to think and feel differently. But, I’m willing to bet serious money that they’ll be happy to see the Defenders come riding in to fight the bad guys. We all have our own concepts of what Freedom is. But trust me without people who fight, we’ll all lose our Freedom.

josie's avatar

Yes we will

The so-called “defenders” will be on the frontlines of the oppressors storm troopers, and they will do so cheeringly, being under the delusion that they are on the side of the good guys.

RabidWolf's avatar

The Defenders will be fighting those who mean to do harm to innocent people. They will be attempting to stop mass destruction to cities. They’ll be fighting to save the sweet innocent lives of children, the elderly and the disabled. How can that be delusional? They won’t be getting a woody by fighting and killing the attackers. So it isn’t some sick perverse pleasure-seeking thrill. This Country belongs to all of us. I hold nothing against those who only use their voice to defend Her. That is their gift to use the right words to make a point. But those who know how to fight and are willing to fight are the backup force for those with the right words. Sometimes even the right words fall on deaf ears.

@RabidWolf To many people, Trump and his most loyal followers are the shit inching ever closer to the fan. And if they go too far, plenty of us are better armed and better trained than them.

@Irukandji, you think highly of your own sting, but you are easily squished.
Do not provoke the squishers.

ragingloli's avatar

@Patty_Melt
You already lost the last two times.

Irukandji's avatar

@Patty_Melt I think nothing of my sting. I think highly of the combined stings of my allies. And some of us have personally stopped a few attempted squishes.
