But, when a righty says something we're supposed to get all uptight and decipher what they said like it's the DaVinci Code. Yeah, ok, have fun with that, with your blinders on. 

How many times did you lap up the media taking Trump's words out of context? Bet you were the first one to drum up fear amongst your camp with the "bloodbath" comment he made in reference to China attempting to flood the manufacturing market through Mexico to further [BLEEP] us over in that industry. 

If I wanted to spin every stupid comment Trump made, I'd be on here 25 hours a day. 

I only bother with the really stupid stuff. And I even ignore a healthy portion of that subset. 
(I wasn't even aware of the bloodbath comment you referenced) 

I definitely don't bother with the dumb [BLEEP] that MAGA congressional candidates spout all the time, which would be most akin to what we are discussing here. 

But hey, if you think this lady's dumb comment is worthy of outrage, have at it.
 Seems pretty innocuous to me. 
Do we actually think this campaigning gaff by a Cannabis attorney running for a congressional seat has any actual bearing on our real lives or future policy?? 

I know I don't think her little speech means a damn thing. 
Just something else  to get fake mad about apparently.

I don't find it worthy of outrage. I just find it worthy of being called out, as hypocrisy and double standards run amuck in this quagmire we refer to as the "Government". It does seem like common rhetoric though from left field. 

Our college campuses are loaded with a bunch of dumbfounded dip [BLEEP] now and a lot of it has to do with "counter culture" movements that have pretty much all but guaranteed the destruction of what made this country a pillar of hope for decades.

The "holier than thou, you better use my pronouns" crowd thinks they know what's best when they have been brainwashed into no longer using their critical thinking caps. 

I get it. Everything is cyclical here. Bible Thumpers bred Rebellious Hearts decades ago and now we're seeing an advanced and stupefied era of the same beliefs only worse because Mommy and Daddy turned them over to the Government and their Tablets and Smartphones to raise them. 

People should be mad though. People should be upset. The majority is just not aiming their frustrations at that right places... 

We all have a common enemy here working against us. Just need to meet in the middle, call it for what it is and get away from this left Vs. right [BLEEP]. It's been hijacking generation after generation after generation. This is why we keep seeing the same arguments and laws being brought up, removed, brought up, removed, etc. 

No real progress. It sucks. And it shows.
