  • Because they will do literally anything to avoid blaming the one man actually responsible for all of this.

    In some weird monkeys paw situation or some shit, Trump has somehow just been able to skate through a literal life of crime, and it’s like everyone has just collectively decided that it’s fine when it’s this one specific guy… I know it’s not, but it really almost feels supernatural. Probably more like blackmail on people.

    It’s just remarkable either way. He gets some strange additional benefit(s) of the doubt that nobody in the history of the office would ever get in a million lifetimes for the most idiotic shit. Like really? THIS guy? Out of all the guys to bestow this shit on…?

    I cannot wait for the day that this man perishes. It will be the one fucking thing he can’t skate away from. Like his piece of shit mentor Roy Cohn. Death always comes eventually. Hopefully he doesn’t nuke the planet first.














  • They kept acting that because he and Hillary apparently were what they thought of as boomers/60s hippie activists that it meant Stalin was in the WH

    They did it again 8 years later with Obama. There was a (more than) little twist of racism there to help it along, so it actually kind of worked. Remember the scary black preacher who said 9/11 was chickens coming home to roost (he was right, by the way)? Remember Bill Ayers? Remember how they tried to bring out that photo of him looking fly as hell smoking a fat joint (lol that one backfired)?

    That’s why half the country will call you a liar to your face when you tell them that Obama deported more people than Trump did in his first term (into the beginning of his second), no matter what data you have to back it up.

    Once you get an idea into these people’s minds (especially if it plays into their xenophobia and racism), they will believe it until the day that they die. They will eschew their own familial relationships in order to keep believing a lie that has been disproven over and over for decades.

    It’s fucking tragic.



  • the CIA was dumping LSD all over the country

    No they weren’t.

    They were doing weird ass experiments, sure, but they weren’t just dumping it everywhere, they were trying to do targeted experiments (didn’t work lol)

    It was people first in the medical community sharing it with friends, then, people like Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters who brought it to the general public.

    Then from that you had the Grateful Dead, and a few people who followed them (including one guy responsible for like 80% of the LSD on the planet at the time before his arrest).

    Timothy Leary wasn’t distributing it, to my knowledge, but he certainly popularized it.

    The CIA may have thought, initially, that they’d want to dump it all over the country, but they realized very quickly that was a very bad idea and they pivoted to trying to prevent that.
