When people used to mail letters by post to stay in touch a common opening was "I hope this letter finds you well."
It carried over from that.
Is inflation caused by the fed keeping the money printer on? No, it's your fault!
She's rich enough to hire a private jet if that's the problem. I don't feel sorry for her at all. Or any other billionaire having their jet tracked for that matter.
I'm sure there are plenty of good people in Russia. There are plenty of terrible governments around the globe with good people living under them. But the Russian state government really is terrible.
When I said that really I was mocking the Republicans. As I was growing up and even today if you even mention communism or socialism they have the same reaction. It's why I really don't understand them suddenly being against giving aid to Ukraine to fight Russia. We can do it in Afghanistan and it's OK even though later al queda turn against the US, but now that we can openly fund a war against Russia where that isn't an issue suddenly now they don't want to? I don't get it.
I understand but I disagree. Martin Luther King was starting to try to turn those same idiots before he died. I believe he really could have. There are other charismatic leaders that could today.
The billionaire class knows that as soon as people stop fighting left vs right and instead unite and organize bottom vs top that they're completely outnumbered. Yes convincing the temporarily embarrassed millionaires in the US does seem impossible. But I won't give up hope.
The previous presidential election was closer than ever in Texas. Sure the voting districts are gerrymandered to hell. But if people would just register and vote I believe the democrats could turn this state at both federal and state level regardless of how districts are drawn. Ted Cruz is up for election and I think this time he may also really lose. But if everyone sane just packed up and left then the idiots really do win.
We can't win it from the idiots if we all pack up and leave. I'm in this battleground state and I'm standing my ground. When Trump gets the nomination I'm going to do my best to remind the Republicans that I know that Trump has said he wants to become a dictator and uses the same blood purity bullshit racist rhetoric in speeches just like Hitler. I'm going to make them face the uncomfortable truth that a vote for Trump today is akin to a vote for Hitler in 1930s Germany.
I mean the parallels are uncanny at this point. The only thing missing is Trump actually getting jail time for attempting to overthrow democracy. At least Germany had the balls to put Hitler away before his rise to power.
The craziest part of the Republican party now is that they actually like Russia. What happened to them? Ruskie commies were the supposed mortal enemy of them until the fall of the USSR. now they want to help them? We gave the afghans a ridiculous amount of weapons and training to fight Russia and they used that later in terror attacks against us, but now we have the perfect opportunity to put the military industrial complex to use without putting Americans in the line of fire with a people that are highly unlikely to do the same as al queda. Oh but suddenly now its just too expensive to fund? Really this point needs to be driven home to all the military humping douches that would gladly suck the dick of anyone that has served in the military. Really what happened? We're really living in a time where the party that supports the military industrial complex more is the Democrats?
Honestly we need a new government. We have the technology to implement direct democracy. Our constitution and government are horribly outdated and the checks in the system are being pushed to the limit in all branches of federal government. Our state is failing and if we continue the ultra rich .01% billionaire class will soon rule our nation openly with impunity. We desperately need a new progressive movement.
Their president asks his cloned dogs for advice on how to govern. I'm not surprised in the slightest.
