I’ve been thinking a lot about Trump being a liar. Why doesn’t it bother me that much? The lies of all the previous Presidents angered me, so why not Trump’s lies? Maybe it’s because the lies of the rest of them got us into wars and human rights violations while Trump’s lies are insignificant. So he lied about having business dealings with Russia. His business dealings in Russia amounted to nothing. It was an agreement to consider having a hotel built but the deal fell through. Why was there no huge outcry when Bush lied us into the Iraq war or when Obama lied about his healthcare act or closing down Guantanamo or fighting the terrorists in Syria?
He’s no worse than any of the other jackasses who have become President and there’s a slim chance that he may be better. I only voted for him because it was Trump or Hillary, and Hillary cannot be President. But after seeing the way he and his voters are being treated by the status quo establishment I’m starting to support him and plan on voting for him in 2020. I don’t know though. The fruit is growing on the vine but I can’t tell if it will ripen into wine or vinegar. At least with Trump there’s a chance for wine.
I recently went to hear Jordan Peterson speak. A lot of people talk shit about him but he doesn’t deserve it. He makes some good points, about marriage for example.
Transparency advocate group releases trove of hacked Russian documents
Russia is corrupt? Quick, look surprised. This is not-news being peddled as news.
Why is it pearl-clutching when there are examples of foreign malfeasance but domestic malfeasance goes almost unnoticed.

Twelve? What the fuck? The age of emanicpation is 18.

This poor innocent man person who was savagely gunned down by the viscious police while at his their daughter’s school checking on her safety. Another tragic example of the inherent racism in the white patriarchy.
Oh, wait. Turns out that’s not what happened. He got into a fight with the police, pulled a gun and used it in the struggle with the cop, and got himself killed.
If he they had been a white man wearing a maga hat the shooting and his politics would have made national news.
