You guys, I’m starting to think these fascist idiots shouldn’t have been allowed anywhere near the levers of power.
So, let’s talk economic policy: Misguided austerity policies have impoverished people all over Europe and the US, but the NYT has an incredibly crushing example of how it’s played out Cumbria, abandoned by the young, by bus service, by hospitals. If you read nothing of the article, just know that it ends with someone lamenting that “it would have been a wonderful place to die.”
Actually, no. You know what, they all sort of go together. “Pro-life” legislators close rural hospitals, urban hospitals, family-planning clinics, sexual-education programs, childcare programs… and then claim Democrats are the party of death.
Seriously. What timeline is it when you have to check whether you’re reading a news parody site when the headline is “Abused 12-Year-Old Alabama Girl Doesn’t Think She Can Handle Being A Mom On Top Of Everything Else?”
Mainstream Republicans
Turning Point USA is a college-Republican group. A leader at the Las Vegas chapter has recently been ousted after a video of him went viral. Guess what he was saying?
Nearly half of white Republicans are bothered when they hear someone speaking a foreign language.
