I think people severely underestimate how bad a lot of our long term problems are and coupled with the fact it's easier to break down institutions than to build them doesn't bode well for any pleasant future for the U.S. or the world.
It is pretty hard to comprehend how bad something like income inequality really is and how bad the slow march of climate change is really going to be. Honestly hard to think there's a light at the end of the tunnel other than an oncoming train.

So like, once this generation of old people dies, and we're the new old people, shit will be chill again, right I'm probably wrong but it helps me to sleep at night just thinking about 'now' as a demographic problem. We'll be an overwhelming mixed race society in what, 20 years? Yeah shit sucks now, but it's these people who are just putting their nails in the ground as they're being dragged out. I share the frustration, but I can't submit to the pessimism, whatever. |

I hope this is the case, but there is a school of thought that Latin-Americans will eventually be re-categorized as "white" in the same manner as eyetalians, Irish, etc in the 20th century, and will shift right and begin voting Republican as those groups did. |

C-SPAN 3 for the Wray and Rosenstein House Intel hearing if you wanna watch/hear Republicans trying to goad the FBI to comment on current investigations again...Issa, King, Jordan, the whole gang of assholes are at it today.
They're threatening contempt, executive privilege, etc. special counsel is unconstitutional, FBI itself is unconstitutional. It's unbelievable how normalized and scary this is.
The GOP will do anything for Trump.

I honest to god might have to stop reading the news. There is no doubt in my mind it's taking its toll on my health, mental and physical. I just get so intensely angry. And then I get super angry at my mom for voting for Trump and that is not healthy for me.

can't a local police department just say no to a request for a riot squad from a federal agency? PPD should not be out there. |

I've said it a bunch of times in the other thread but I live in a city where Democrats having been running unopposed for as long as anyone can remember and I'm amazed at the number kids I wen't to school with who are now proud Trump nut-huggers. I like to think it's a vocal minority but I honestly don't think that's the case.

Get to the part where he cited a FOX article saying Rosenstein is threatening to subpoena phone calls. Rosenstein visibly upset just flat out says you can't subpoena calls and audible laughter is heard at how stupid he is.
It'd be funny if it wasn't so seriously demented how these sycophants operate.
I'm fine with Congressional oversight but it's a complete joke to think that's what this is and not a full fledged attack on undermining anyone and everything opposed to Trump.

Shitty of me to connect the two without proof of motive. Details coming out look pretty harrowing.

Wow. Crazy that they detained that guy, but if you're black on the streets you're done for. Maybe that's neither here nor there. |

So far, 20 something year old white guy who isn't cooperating and altered his fingers to prevent ID (certified moron). He tossed the gun and hid under a desk when cops showed up.
A few high profile journalists instantly wen't to 4chan and r/The_Donald to screen cap celebratory posts.

I followed along one of the journalists twitters until I started seeing comments about how he was a pussy for not tackling the guy, who it’s his fault because he didn’t have a gun and again how much of a pussy he was for hiding under a desk. I can’t take this anymore, I am unable to process what has happened in a few short years.

I can’t take this anymore, I am unable to process what has happened in a few short years. I saw a similar thread. It's been brewing for a while now and there's no way to engage these people anymore. |

I've had a bad feeling for a long time that this is all going to culminate in some kind of mass violence. It's all these fucking subhumans seem to want/understand.
