Worrying and hoping for the future. We progressives are STILL failing to confront Trump's ongoing success in permanently destroying our democracy, choosing instead to hurt each other. Unrelated, I'm a firm believer in open-source.

Reddit post by NoConfusion9490 saying:

Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit.
The first economist says to the other "I'll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit." The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.
They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says "I'll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit." The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.
Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. I can't help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing."
"That's not true", responded the second economist. "We increased the GDP by $200!"

Republicans are funny.

Anonymous post: Im just going to say it like it is...straight from the Word of God.
If a woman reveals parts of her breasts in a shirt and or her legs up to her rear end...
Scripture says you are dressing as a whore.
And what scripture says...you are drawing mens eyes to you!
Imagine how these whorish women who dress like this...make the wives feel when their husbands are around these women!
And by the way these "pants" called leggings are immodest as they come! It's actually disgusting to be frank...when a woman can wear "pants" that reveals everything...and actually be CALLED pants. Give me a break! Get behind me satan!
Sorry but like | said a long time ago...if you dont want to hear Truth...this page isn't for you.

Republicans sending out a clear message to the non-whites again today.

Tweet from The Megyn Kelly Show: "Megyn sends a message to the Haitians who lost their TPS today: "Go home! Get out! We know our country is better than yours. That's because we filled it with our work ethic, culture, and values. You being here only dilutes it for us... GO BACK TO FUCKING HAITI!" "

Trump is now trying to poison any life that tries to use his precious vanity pool

Post by Rob Crilly: At the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool and I'm sorry to report that we have a dead duckling. Last week the tests suggested the algae was harmless but an expert tells me we could have signs of cyanobacteria

Two pics. First is a beautiful woman standing outside, rejoicing in rain pouring down upon her. This is labeled "Trump supporters." Second shows a man pissing over a fence, implying that the rain the woman is enjoying is actually piss. This pic is labeled "Trump."

"Bargains, bargains, El-ahrairah. There is not a day or a night but a doe offers her life for her kittens, or some honest captain of Owsla his life for his Chief Rabbit’s. Sometimes it is taken, sometimes it is not. But there is no bargain, for here, what is, is what must be." ―Inlé to El-ahrairah

Answer tweet from John Spaulding saying, "House cats. They are convinced of their fierce independence while utterly dependent on a system they don't appreciate or understand."

Kurt Vonnegut sure had a way with words when describing how our disappointing human institutions arose from our nearly useless human brains.

I have never seen a more sublime demonstration of the totalitarian mind, a mind which might be linked unto a system of gears where teeth have been filed off at random. Such snaggle-toothed thought machine, driven by a standard or even by a substandard libido, whirls with the jerky, noisy, gaudy pointlessness of a cuckoo clock in Hell… The dismaying thing about classic totalitarian mind is that any given gear, though mutilated, will have at its circumference unbroken sequences of teeth that are immaculately maintained, that are exquisitely machined. Hence the cuckoo clock in Hell - keeping perfect time for eight minutes and twenty-three seconds, jumping ahead fourteen minutes, keeping perfect time for six seconds, jumping ahead two seconds, keeping perfect time for two hours and one second, then jumping ahead a year. The missing teeth, of course, are simple, obvious truths, truths available and comprehensible even to ten-year-olds, in most cases. The wilful filling off a gear teeth, the wilful doing without certain obvious pieces of information - That was how a household as contradictory as one composed of Jones, Father Keeley, Vice-Bundesfuehrer Krapptauer, and the Black Fuehrer could exist in relative harmony - That was how my father-in-law could contain in one mind an indifference toward slave women and love for a blue vase - That was how Rudolf Hess, Commandant of Auschwitz, could alternate over the loudspeakers of Auschwitz great music and calls for corpse-carriers - That was how Nazi Germany sense no important difference between civilization and hydrophobia - That is the closest I can come to explaining the legions, the nations of lunatics I've seen in my time.

The most concentrated combination of idiocy and hypocrisy ever assembled in one human being.

Tweet from Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump:
For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!
