Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Ben Carson Backpedals Again

by | 7 Comments

This post is in: 

The GOP’s favorite black person, Ben Carson, continues to say things and then backpedal. This time, it’s about blaming the hip-hop community for contributing to African Americans’ lack of spirituality:

“When I talk about the hip-hop community, I’m talking about the aspect of modern society that pretty much dismisses anything that has to do with Jesus Christ,” Carson told WBLS-FM hosts Bob Slade & Bob Pickett on Sunday. “That’s what I’m talking about. … We need to reestablish faith in our communities and the values and principles that got us through slavery, that got us through Jim Crow, and segregation, and all kinds of horrible things that were heaped upon us,” he argued. “Why were we able to get through those? Because of our faith, because of our family, because of our values, and as we allow the hip-hop community to destroy those things for us, and as we grasp onto what’s politically correct and not what is correct, we continue to deteriorate.”

 

That’s right, Carson. Blame the devil’s music!

Team Blackness discussed Jeb Bush identifying as “hispanic,” Rand Paul’s fantastic new line of presidential memorabilia, and Kylie Jenner’s blackface.

    Ben Carson decided that the assistance he received was okay because his family was deserving but now families just aren’t. When he made that statement, all I could think of is that he thinks he is capable of lining people up and deciding who is and who isn’t deserving. It’s time for him to get on his high horse and ride away.

    White pop culture isn’t known for being explicitly spiritual. Why does he think secular black entertainment is bad and secular white entertainment is apparently OK?

    Anyone know, before this, if WBLS-FM was a station inside Carson’s media bubble? Not familiar with it and its homepage talks of R and B, and Cissy Houston.

    Will he go on the air there again?
