It's always worth reiterating that whenever I got homophobic shit in there (& it happened a few times), the mods quashed it quickly
But that's just playing whack-a-mole right now, when there's an overarching "no politics" policy. I don't want to share space, or talk books, with red hats & Nazis

Opposed every single policy stance she held…always thought women would bring intelligence & compassion to politics. In her case I was very wrong. Glad she is going…will wait to see where the whack-a-mole pops up. Evil never seems to go away…

Sometimes I think about explaining Puigdemont's houdinadas and whack-a-mole politics to non Spaniards but I'd rather complain about the NYT calling "Where's Waldo?" "a children's puzzle book", THE DISRESPECT.

A more thorough diagnosis would be that the existing democratic party sucks big time at doing politics the way they keep losing to him, which is to be traced to the fact that they refuse to do mass based class politics. Before that happens, enjoy playing whack a mole with Trump like figures

I have a lot of bottles of various meds taken over the years in my continuous game of mental whack-a-mole.
Instead of throwing them out this time… we kept them as backups due to politics.

Why play whack a mole with distractions when you can cut the head off the snake? Clawing back tax dollars from billionaires, instituting and enforcing an 85% tax rate for them, and removing their influence in politics should be the top priority.

It's a world of whack-a-mole politics and scratch marks of egos so badly bruised, that like fruit, even the juicers turn away from the useless pulp. Best just put it on the compost, I say.
But! Butbutbutbut... the entertainment is to die for.
