I’m sure this is happening (roll eyes). The real subliminal message here is that she would like to defund any aid to any country that is pro gay rather than the other way and how it really should be. This is why they can easily love Russia and do.

Let’s be honest, here.
Well educated, intelligent, healthy, progressive, urban coastal America was pretty fucking great long before Trailer Trump America started freaking out at airport rallies.
And it’ll still be great long after Comrade-President Elect Derp and his team of Globalist crooks have looted the Social Security trust fund and flooded Crazy Uncle Conservative’s filthy mid-western trailer park with toxic sludge.
Elections have consequences.

I’ve been through this a bunch of times. Now it’s gone.
Totally unrelated I learned over the weekend that the flame in Flaming Gyser State park apparently went out sometime in 2016.
@3 ” … after [they] have looted the Social Security trust fund … ”
I remember when they were telling us there’s no money in the Social Security trust fund.
Social security was looted long ago….
@5 He may feel slighted now, but he’ll eventually realize the organizers did him a favor by sparing him from the responsibility of introducing the Trailer Park Presidency to the world.
@12 Sez the troll who calls me a “clown.” Borrowing and looting aren’t the same thing, unless you intend to renege your debts. The Social Security Trust Fund owns trillions of dollars of Treasuries, which for generations have been considered as safe as cash, although that could change if Republicans decide to default on the national debt. Thus, if the SSTF is looted, it will be they who looted it.
Speaking of feeling slighted, after reading about all the Russian trolls commenting on America’s blogs, it had me feeling bad that HA didn’t have a couple of them here. But they probably saw how well Doctor Dumbfuck and his loon were carrying water for Putin and said, “Good enough!”
@15 Turns out they didn’t need their huge military forces to defeat us; all they needed was Republicans.

Trump Admirer Wants Us To Be Like Singapore or Hungary
First of all, you gotta admit this Trump supporter is better educated, more knowledgeable, more thoughtful, and more articulate than the average Trump voter. Formerly a libertarian, he has evolved into a Trumpista. What seems to underpin his worldview is the following:
“In my view, Liberal Democracy has failed and no longer carries any credibility for solving our country’s increasing number of problems. Trump is a messenger, however imperfect, of an alternative that offers real, serious solutions. As Viktor Orban, Prime Minister of Hungary, and perhaps the leader I admire most stated, ‘liberal democratic states can’t remain globally competitive.’ He instead pointed out, correctly, that the most successful nations since the end of the Crisis have been states which aren’t liberal, and often not even democracies. Models like China, Singapore, Turkey, or even Russia to an extent, have delivered far greater gains in living standards to their population since 2000.”
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/01/a-voter-in-his-twenties-gives-up-on-liberal-democracy/512525/
So who is Viktor Orban? According to Wikipedia, he has been “accused of centralizing legislative and executive power, curbing civil liberties, restricting freedom of speech, and weakening the Constitutional Court and judiciary. For these reasons, some critics have described him as ‘irredentist’, ‘populist’, ‘authoritarian’, ‘Putinist’, as a ‘strongman’,and as a ‘dictator’.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Orb%C3%A1n#Political_views
If this is who the Trump intelligentsia admires, and what they want to change our government to, all I can say is liberals had better arm while they still can.
More news in Trailer Trump America running out of burn ointment:
The the lying Trailer Trump fucks are reneging on their blood oath to repeal Obamacare in the first 100.

red hats and racist jokes.
@18,
not for nuthin, but Orban has also proposed at one time or another a registry for Jews.
Freidersdorf’s “correspondent” is merely another meme-trolling Richard Spencer clone, and Salon should be ashamed.
Consider this closing nugget:
“Instead, my concerns will be very basic. Does he improve economic growth? Does he reduce crime? Reduce unemployment rates? Increase average incomes?
If he can do that, I’m happy.”
He only left out the one most crucial question: “Is he white?”
Since obviously President Obama did all those things in eight years (except for the whiteness) and yet this “better educated, more knowledgeable, more thoughtful, and more articulate” Trailer Trump American remained furiously opposed.
Don’t be fooled. These people are not complicated. Basically they are ignorant racist hillbillies.
@18 Nah. Just fasten your seat belts, keep a “Mormon kitchen”, lay low and let the fools run the wheels off their own wagon. We’ve been through this once already since the turn of the millenium, but it took eight years for the excesses of Bush and the PNAC jerkoffs to blow it. It’s more than likely that Trumpty-Dumpty and his pals will take even less time to run the ship into an iceberg.

Holy tapdancing Jesus on a hay wagon.
We’ve handed the entire government over to the fucking Mob.
You want to know why Yertle the Senator Turtle wants to allow the Don’s cabinet nominees to bypass the ethics reviews?
Because his wife is slated to become the Secretary of Transportation, and cannot pass such muster. Her family are the owners of an old shipping company, and have been caught or suspected in several smuggling schemes, including large multi-ton shipments of cocaine into the United States and Canada and illegal weapons to third-world countries.
@24 Mobsters suing each other. Lovely.
@25 The news that Trump surrounded himself with mobsters never grows old. Voting for Trump is like appointing Meyer Lansky to the Federal Reserve Board. Hey Republicans, you built this!
@26 What do you mean, “we”? I had nothing to do with this.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: If someone called her a “Trump voter,” she’d be concerned.
@1 Why should our foreign policy be pro or anti gay (LGBQT)? Frankly it should not be. Not that it’s made any difference in our relations with Saudi Arabia where being gay can get you a trip to chop chop square. And they have no problem telling the US where to stick it when our ambassador brings that up or other things up like slavery. Nations are not moral. They have this thing called sovereignty, so it may not be particularly effective in telling some nations how they should treat their gay citizens. First some will deny having any such citizens, and then just to show their superiority if they find one they will do something very public, to that person. Sucks to be that human being.
The fact that Americans have broad opinions on homosexuality seems to suggest maybe we should not dictate policy on the subject to other nations when we are still struggling with it here in these United States.
PS There are no LGBT folks in North Korea. That is what they officially say, but in any case this is not the biggest issue between the United States and North Korea. Or between North and South Korea or North Korea and Japan. So while most western democracies have become much more LGBT friendly no western democracy should base it’s foreign policy on LGBT, though some spy agencies still love the old honey pot trap.
@2 Hard to know if we are great or great again., but clearly the east and west coast elites are upset. While Trump is an ass the face the east and west coast elites panties are all twisted up is a good thing.
@ 25
I understand that. But I also see it as being indicative of a constant and long-term pattern of pathologically criminal behavior by The Don. He really is a total Mafia stooge. He’s working for anyone who helps him maintain the illusion of massive, personal wealth.
And it is most definitely entirely illusory.
He owns Rudy Guliani and Christie outright, as the former States Attorney Generals of New York and New Jersey respectively, they were in a position to make sure nothing ever stuck to Donald Trump. That’s why they kiss his little brown pucker every chance they get.
I wonder what he’s got on them. Maybe some detailed information on their dalliances with certain under-aged Romanian prostitutes.
@8 Actually human activity has nothing to do with the basics of essentially 10 Amazon rivers hitting California at once. In 1860 (?) this happened for about 40 days in a row flooding most of the central valley (over 10 feet in some areas) and it took months for it to drain. This is just a normal weather pattern with some extra oomph this year. The fact that such weather conditions can become much more common that is climate change.
And if the Atlantic conveyor shuts down, now that will be climate change.
The current sun spot maximum is being a total wimp so it could be the sun is putting out less energy, which could mean a mini ice age is starting, This would be climate change, not human caused climate change, but perhaps our bad habits could balance things out and just perhaps get a soft landing. Meanwhile Russia and Canada are set to be big winners in the climate change lottery.
@10 The State of Washington keeping this quiet. Should we rename the park? Bobs Burgers maybe?
@11 @12 There is no looting going on. Money goes into the fund and it’s loaned out to Uncle Sam. Some goes to current recipients. Unlike wall street should the government totally fail social security might not make it to the top ten lists of concerns of people. Even less so if it’s the rapture. Social Security is easily fixed, and there is time.
@15 Maybe Goldie successfully eliminated any Russian trolls when they showed up. Using his Goldie powers and perhaps GRUTROLL@GRU.RA was obvious. Good job Goldie.
Is it possible that Doctor Dumbfuck has reevaluated his life choices and has realized that working and studying hard all his life to become wealthy only to spend his retirement years leaving pro-Putin hashtags in the comment threads of insignificant blogs wasn’t exactly the brightest idea?
@16 So you are not disappointed HA didn’t get picked up by any of the Russian troll army? Just a little s you could convert them with rabbit sense? Or could it be that the fake news, troll army are exaggerations? Of course President Obama framed the question for the intelligence agencies rather than the correct question of did any nations intelligence agencies and leaders try to influence the Presidential election. Would President Obama by framing the question be playing politics? Does that make him more a politician or a great President. Hint it makes him a Chicago politician.
He really is a mad man

you been played…
@34 If the Social Security Trust Fund isn’t being looted, then it isn’t broke as some wingnuts claim, is it? After all, it owns over $2.8 trillion of Treasuries. The argument of the wingnuts who claim SSTF is broke is that the government borrowed and spent all of its money, but their argument holds water only if those Treasury notes are worthless, which would be true only if Republicans default on the national debt.
@36 Frankly, I don’t think his central processor has enough computing power to figure out something as complicated as that.
Say what you will, but as far as I am concerned Meryl Streep lost all credibility when she gave a standing O to Roman Polanski.
Polanski is another person who deserves a .45 to the back of the head, that raping pedophile MOFO.
Besides, who really gives a fuck what the Hollywood types say anyway? They have nothing in common with the real world or real people. They live in the ultimate bubble.
@37 Obama can’t control the conclusions of our intelligence agencies, who are unanimously on record that Russia interfered with our election. Not some other country, but Russia. Do you think our intelligence agencies can’t tell the difference between hacking by Russia versus hacking by China, Brazil, Israel, Nigeria, or whomever?
@39 Amazing what power does to a person.
Multiple liberal sources are reporting that James O’Keefe has been caught trying to stage riots and disruptions at Trump’s inauguration to make liberals look bad. As I recall, Hitler did this sort of thing to discredit his political opponents, too.
“A left-wing political group released a new video Monday of a counter-sting that has uncovered evidence of right-wing activists trying to sow chaos at Donald Trump’s inaugural ceremony, an effort to portray critics of Trump who march against him as violent fringe figures.
“The counter-sting, carried out by The Undercurrent and Americans Take Action, a project of a previous target of provocateur James O’Keefe, managed to surreptitiously record elements of O’Keefe’s network offering huge sums of money to progressive activists if they would disrupt the ceremony and ‘put a stop to the inauguration’ and the related proceedings to such a degree that donors to the clandestine effort would ‘turn on a TV and maybe not even see Trump.’ To have riots blot out coverage of Trump, the donor offered ‘unlimited resources,’ including to shut down bridges into D.C.”

The Social Secuity Trust Fund will pay out because the government will simply print cash to make good on the Treasury IOU’s. Of course, this will be done through the Federal Reserve System, so it won’t necessarily be tons of hundred-dollar bills being printed but through the fiat currency system.
At 2% inflation, a dollar today will only purchase 50 cents-worth of goods and services in 35 to 36 years.
Th Federal Reserve’s target inflation goal is 0 to 2%.

Defund planned parenthood. Defund this, defund that. My only point is that’s what the cunt is up to. She wants to threaten withholding funds from countries that aren’t anti gay. If she can get you to believe that Obama is extorting from other countries unless the push a pro LGBT agenda, her next step is to convince you to stop funding pro gay countries.
What is their love for Russia? Simple, Russia hates gay people.
You guys always bring up Saudia Arabia and other Muslim countries. You never talk about Haiti, African Countries, or Russia. Why? Do you have something against Muslims and prefer big black cock instead?

O’Keefe needs to be more careful about open mics.

Only the Trailer Trump American Party of television addicted toothless sister fuckers has routinely elevated entertainment celebrities to their highest ranks and then elected them to the highest offices. Sure, there’s Al Franken. And plenty of post career Democrats have gone on to entertainment careers. But only Trailer Trump America is so brain poisoned from all the cheap beer and toxic sewage running through their trailer parks that they can’t distinguish reality from fictional entertainment personae. So they’ve simply elected dozens of entertainers to be their idiot Governors, their idiot Senators, and now even a couple of idiot Presidents. And this administration promises to be the most Hollywood connected ever.
Which only makes sense if you think about it. Television and dumbed down mass entertainment media is all these house bound alcoholics know anymore.
