where the bride was dragged to the altar
By a man who bound her ambitions, and claimed
Consent through conquest. But that is as normal
To those who see only the assent and not the quivering voice
that delivers lies. The shivered glances that the conquered
chance, in anticipation of the next silencing blow
from loving warden's hand that he claims is a kiss.

Trashing Trump
I don't like Donnie "tiny hands". I see him as an arrogant, authoritarian, oligarch, and a masterful con man....but the constant negative media hysteria about Trump plays right into his "fake news" meme. Even when he does something I think is positive, like peace with Korea or Russia, he is portrayed as evil and submitting to the communists. The Trumpeteers see it too, and it is uniting his base. More and more I see it as theater to distract the masses. Because all the while Trump and his administration have been stacking the courts, deregulating everything, dismantling public services, capitalizing the corporations, and promoting wars and coups. I agree with Jimmy and Ron...I don't like Trump, but I'm not going to let him rob me of my critical thinking skills.

Was the 2016 election legitimate? It's now definitely worth asking the question
Submitted by Amanda Matthews on Sat, 07/28/2018 - 11:24pmWhat do these people think they are doing? Are they getting all hyperactive because we’re creeping up on November and they’re taking the msm poll numbers as gospel? Is it because they think they’ got the Senate and House elections in the bag?
I know they’re batshit crazy if they think Trump voters are going to take this laying fown. It sounds like they’re (msm) just itching To see riots in the streets.

Obama administration approved $200G grant to group with Al Qaeda ties
Submitted by Amanda Matthews on Sat, 07/28/2018 - 4:32pmOne of the things that I really really resent is that thanks to The Clinton Creature, the DNC, and (ta da) The Empty Suit, I now have to wade through places like Faux or Juducial Watch or Pat ‘Freaking’ Buchanan to find out what’s really going on in the world. That SERIOUSLY pisses me off.
