Exactly how does this work? There is a web site set up by a Deplorable (seemingly in OK) and they randomly add the names of black students from around the country? ā€“ And the students are notified somehow? (Damn, I feel old ā€¦ donā€™t quite get todayā€™s ā€œsocial media.ā€)

ā€œI spent my morning running to the Vice Provost office of my university in the middle of class because my freshmen brothers and sisters got added to a group called ā€˜Nigger Lynching,ā€™ā€ wrote law student Calvary Rogers on Facebook, according to Metro Philly.

Hey, no racism here. Theyā€™re just upset at being ā€œleft behindā€ economically. So we need to understand them.

Republicans talked to these people and explained away their loser status with racism, sexism, and xenophobia.

Democrats didnā€™t talk to these people. Too icky.

Eustace is a beloved character around these parts. He provides a lot of comic relief. Take what he says with a grain of salt. Heā€™s far from a douche.

Stop making excuses. Trump IS an elite. Youā€™re a fool. Anyone left sin the post industrial economy has had 30 years to prepare for that. So now the rest of us have to break out the violins because their representatives made promises they couldnā€™t or wouldnā€™t keep? Fine Give up your technology. Your cell phone is made in China. Or better yet be fascist and demand that all products sold in America are made in America so you get to tell Ford, GM and Apple how to run their business because YOU are so awesome at business that youā€™re unemployed and left behind by the post industrial economy? DO YOU PEOPLE EVEN LISTEN TO YOURSELVES? Because we have to listen to you and you sound fucking INSANE.

You said you wanted change but all you did was give us more of the same. Letā€™s see how that works out for you.

I spoke to a friend, for the last time, who explained to me that his vote for Trump was not because heā€™s a racist, or a sexist, but he voted for Trump because ā€œheā€™s the first and only candidate that has openly said he is anti-vaccine.ā€

With that, I wished him well and happy, and parted ways.

Heā€™s a hell of a fisherman though. Eight posts, two catches.

Eustace has been around here for years. Itā€™s all satire. Heā€™s often funny, right now though, itā€™s a little hard to see anything even slightly clever about it.

Bertrand Russell:

ā€œI found one day in school a boy of medium size ill-treating a smaller boy. I expostulated, but he replied: ā€˜The bigs hit me, so I hit the babies; thatā€™s fair.ā€™ In these words he epitomized the history of the human race.ā€

And, I might add, of GOP electoral strategy.

Eustice writes satire. Heā€™s been here for years and years. Heā€™s being snarky.

And this is whatā€™s happening at an Ivy League college, at Donald J. Trumpā€™s two year alma mater. Imagine the Red State public college activity.

I guess in the thick of the shit and urine hurricane we just endured, I must have missed where HO said heā€™s anti-vaccine. Did he actually say he is anti-vaccine or that he personally is against them or ā€¦ ?

Iā€™ve been comparing my to-pure-to-vote-for-Clinton friends to anti-vaccine idiots all week. The sanctity of their bodily fluids trumps any responsibility to the rest of us.

ha! great minds! I asked him the same question. To which he said yes. He said it publicly and met with someone named Andrew Wakefield??? or something? I donā€™t have kids of my own, so Iā€™m not read up on Anti-vax stuff. My reply was ā€œWell, if he did say that publicly, Iā€™m sure there is another tape of him saying heā€™s pro-vaccine too. Because Trump will say anything to anyone.ā€

He then said something about Hillary demanding all kids be vaccined and she would have made it mandatory. So, then I said, ā€œwell at least kids wonā€™t have to be vaccined, but Muslims will still have to live in fear everyday of their lives hereā€¦so, you really made a statement on Tuesday, well off white person. Have a good life.ā€

Gee, wait 'til the Neo Nazis glom onto Penn - when I was a student there a few decades ago, the student body was >60% Jewish. Not sure of the demographic breakdown now but I certainly recall people calling it ā€œJew Uā€ and one preppy whiteboy frat house thought it was cute to add to Hillelā€™s huge banner of ā€œFree Soviet Jewsā€ with ā€œIn Every Box of Wheatiesā€.
