“I have a dream. That Black people and White people will bond together to build a wall to keep Brown people out. I have a dream”
-Martin Luther Pence (MLP)
Pence is equal to Drumpf in one important way.
Both are entirely without a scintilla of shame.
What an asshole!
If this were a Quentin Tarantino movie, Samuel L. Jackson’s character would be beating the living hell out of this motherfucking motherfucker Pence after hearing that one.
Appropriating a brilliant and beautiful speech for exactly the opposite purpose of its intention is thoroughly disgusting, especially coming from the most racist Administration in modern history.
Actually, are you sure we’re not in a Quentin Tarantino movie? It’s been so surreal since Trump came down the golden escalator…
I think what the American people are mostly feeling this weekend is end your goddamn hostage-taking shutdown, you lying POS, and keep your dirty mouth off Dr. King, you discrimination-loving bigot son of a bitch.
…And that the black people will be trapped on the other side of that wall.
I am positive that Pence’s quoting from King was a dig at King. And his Base knows it.
I would stake my house on it.
OK but before you put your house on the table I have to say there are few people the bigots and oppressors love to quote more.
feels more like m knight shamalan
“I have a scheme!!”
I spent the morning listening to tapes of some MLK letters and speeches including Letter from a Birmingham Jail which includes some of the greatest words on justice denied ever written.
Then I saw this story.
I guess I still have the ability to be thoroughly nauseated and offended by things out of this administration - glad to know I am not completely dead yet to irony, hypocrisy and venality.
This Left language steeling is SOP for these con-jobbers
The scene in Signs where it cuts to the whole family wearing tin foil hats.
“Now is the time to make real the promises of Democracy”
So Trump thinks he can amend the constitution? All by himself or does he realize it has to be voted on?
OMFG…I need something to throw at my TV. Alex Wittless was talking to a Dem Congressman and said “I’m just trying to play negotiator here”. Why? Why does she think that’s her fucking job? She’s not the first person on cable news pulling this shit in the last couple of days. They’re all pulling this shit now. They somehow think their job is to work out something for tRump or the Repugs. They promote Republican framing of an issue or else pretend it makes more sense to negotiate with a mentally ill nutjob who’s proven he has no actual blueprint, no real plan except to win over his base, no humanity towards all the people he’s hurting, or any commonsense other than to give him what he wants. What’s $5 billion anyway??? Not much when you make a 6 or 7 figure salary for your network I guess. For the rest of us, its a lot of fucking money and it’s not going to go towards some totem to tRump’s overblown fucking ego. That’s what’s immoral about the whole thing. It doesn’t do shit…and its based on a LIE!
This thing with Dems having to negotiate is taking over the talking points on cable as if its some kind of real thing they’re concocting. They just can’t deal with the fact that this moron in the White House is off his fucking rocker and can’t be reasoned with…If they started there, we’d all be better off because that is a fact that real journalism is capable of describing day after fucking day.
Its like when Repugs win an election, they’ll say elections have consequences. When Dems win an election, they end up saying Dems need to negotiate and give a little to make things work. WTF? Always with the double standards.
Ugh.
