Middle-Class Sheep, Nation Of Rubes
Making America Great Again, by eliminating the middle-class. The American future will be slaves, robots, & those who own them, as prophecy foretells.
[USA TODAY]
Who's worse, the parasite bosses who leech from the people who do the work, or the fucking chump employees who willingly open their veins for the bosses every day? Nihilism is the answer, to all the idiot questions. Hell, we needn't even make anything new (let alone "better") from the rubble; tearing everything down is more than sufficient.Whopping 62 percent of jobs don't support middle-class life after accounting for cost of living

Christ On A Crutch!
I don’t know how to describe this exactly. It may be the most insulting thing anyone in the Trump administration or campaign has done to Jewish Americans. Mike Pence invited “Rabbi” Loren Jacobs to give the invocation at his Michigan campaign stop today. Jacobs is actually a Christian who leads a group who calls themselves Messianic Jews. He spent eight years with the group Jews for Jesus. In his blessing, he actually says he’s not Jewish: “God of Abraham … God and Father of my Lord and Savior Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah.” For Messianic Jews, Yeshua = Jesus.
Imagine inviting an imam to do a eulogy for slain Christians, dressing him up as a priest, and have him start with a prayer to Allah. That's basically what Pence just did. https://t.co/boUe3nxdo4— Greg Fish (@GregAFish) October 29, 2018

The Obvious Missed By Eastern Elitist On Cletus Safari To Whitest Iowa
To this disinterested observer the facts in the first sentence alone should have indicated this expedition to nowhere was irrelevant & idiotic.
In the wake of the Pittsburgh attack, Rep. Steve King's Iowa supporters brush aside concern about his white nationalist views — REMSEN, Iowa — As the polka band played and the volunteers started serving the bratwurst, word slowly rippled through the annual Oktoberfest in this remote Iowa farm town …
Let's review: Remote Iowa farm town celebrating Oktoberfest w/ polka & bratwurst, & the typist is surprised that white nationalism isn't their number one worry?
By the way, what'll you bet that most of the ancestors of these fly-over fools emigrated here in the 19th century? Yet still w/ the Oktoberfest & the polka? This is America, not Bavaria! Will these fucking people ever assimilate?

MAGA Chickens Come Home To Roost
A sadly accurate prediction, as excerpted by Political Wire:
Turns out this nation of murderous scum wasn't so lucky this wk., was it? What happens tomorrow morning?Rick Wilson: “Cesar Sayoc isn’t just some loner gone wrong. He isn’t merely a one-in-a-million Unabomber with a cabin in the woods, a crazed manifesto, and too much black powder. Sayoc is the future. Donald Trump’s famously loyal base has been radicalized, and while only the tiniest fraction will resort to political violence, neither the president nor the hollow shell of the GOP will do anything to stop it.”
“This is a president with obvious mental and moral deficits who will say and do anything to retain power. He’s backed by a runaway ‘conservative’ media feeding his rabid base a daily dose of conspiratorial lunacy. There is no mechanism to stop Trump’s division, radicalization, and calls to arms against his enemies.”
“America was lucky this week; none of the weapons exploded, and the FBI and state law enforcement moved with amazing speed to apprehend the bomber. We might not always be so lucky, particularly if this president continues to give what future Sayocs see as their marching orders.”
