Milo Yiannopoulos is not for the thin-skinned, either. Go ahead, see if you can counter his arguments. You can't.

You're laughable and pathetic. I can't counter his arguments with anyone who believes going into them that black people are inferior, and I don't intend to waste time trying. I've been aware of your stripes for a long time, but then finally you exposed yourself in this campaign season. If I helped that along in any way I'm proud of myself.

You continue as you choose, and I will continue to counter your thinly veiled venom every time. If you don't like that, too bad. I promise not to chase you inti your Breitbart swamp. But here, no such promises.

Attempts at bullying are poor example from adults

Tell your hero that....

46661. judithathome - 11/6/2016 8:16:11 PM

Oh look...I got the "666"...isn't THAT special!

Utterly false accusation. Not a racial supremacist of any kind -- I find racial theories goofy, although they were the height of fashion a century ago. You, Arky, are the one who constantly seeks to reinforce bogus racial categories.

Your mis-characterization of violence in Fruitvale was illustrative. You attributed a San Francisco tragedy to racism instead of rampant gang crime and violence. It is extremely difficult to teach in that environment, and even more difficult to police. Very few decent people can thrive in those workplaces, where staff turnover is massive, and nervous newbies can make horrible mistakes. In the Fruitvale case, the newbie who killed, went to jail -- meanwhile innumerable gang killings go unpunished, because the Fruitvale residents are justifiably afraid to confront the murderers.

Then, you eagerly transmitted your misguided ignorance to your students. Everything is about race, for racists -- then you project that racism onto others. Deplorable.

*ribbit*

In other news, the FBI sent out an email explaining that there was no there there with regard to the extra emails they posted about the other day, throwing the whole campaign into a tailspin. Surprise surprise.

46664. judithathome - 11/6/2016 11:12:46 PM

48 effing hours before the vote and this asshole FBI director decides..."OOPSIE!! Nothing to see here, move along!!"

They are saying Trump was late deplanning at his campaign stop after Comey's letter was just made public...they probaby had to lure him away from his snit fit with a dozen brownies or something!

However, I'm not so sure this will save Comey's job when Hillary is sworn in as Madam President! But at least it may save us from Trump appointing Guilliani!

Hmm, seems like they could have done the research before announcing anything and skipped the whole mess. So this means that either:

1. Comey willfully chose to drop a half-baked bombshell that he knew would effect the election.

Or

2. He was, as he stated, forced to release it because of rogue elements in the FBI who would have leaked it.

Either way, it makes him and the FBI look really bad.

46666. judithathome - 11/7/2016 3:58:04 AM

No shit, it does. As you say...either way.

46667. judithathome - 11/7/2016 3:58:41 AM

(damn! more sixes!!!)

46668. Ms. No - 11/7/2016 5:56:45 AM

Cos - I'm reassured! Did they used to be under the FBI? I mean, they pre-date Homeland Security by decades.

46669. judithathome - 11/8/2016 12:18:27 AM

Well, to hear HIM tell it, Trump barely escaped with his life during an "assassination attack"....by a Republican carrying a sign that read "Republicans For Hillary"...I guess it would be the first time in history a candidate was beaten to death by a poster board sign....it wasn't even mounted on a stick...just a hand-held cardboard poster.

46670. judithathome - 11/9/2016 7:07:35 AM

Okay....welcome to the end of life as we know it, people.

I could kick myself for listening to my fucking broker...."Oh, don't worry about the election..."

We had an expensive bottle of champagne opened earlier tonight. Half of it went down the drain and Keoni is already in bed.

Jesus H. Christ.

46671. arkymalarky - 11/9/2016 7:12:49 AM

You were right, and I knew there was a possibility you were right but my mind simply could not go there I'm about to have a grandkid in a week and I'm going to focus on living my life and my family and what happens will have to happen. The Press has as much responsibility for this as anyone.

46672. judithathome - 11/9/2016 7:18:19 AM

No shit.

I am not happy to have been right, by the way.

I think you are in a better place than I am right now to have a new life coming into this world...send our love to the happy parents and give them a hug from us. And extend that to you and Stan.

46673. judithathome - 11/9/2016 7:23:50 AM

And speaking of the press....ALL of them deserve to be kicked mightly because they gave unlimited FREE advertising to that worm Trump...every time he'd open his yap, they would interrupt whatever was on to give his vitriol free reign.

They are already talking of him planning to meet with his biggest fan, Putin...before he's sworn in.

Jesus H. Christ.

And while I'm at it....I think Julian Assange needs to be imprisoned for crimes against this country...but I'd bet the only thing that happens to him will be Trump sending him a new computer.

46674. arkymalarky - 11/9/2016 8:12:24 AM

Well, it's a stressful thing bringing a new baby under these circumstances. Mose is mortified. I do not trust Trump not to put us in danger. He is an existential threat. But all I can do is live my life. I don't know what else to do

46675. arkymalarky - 11/9/2016 3:52:54 PM

Our South Korean exchange student just called, and she's really scared about Trump being elected.

46676. arkymalarky - 11/9/2016 3:56:49 PM

Two things that I I thought about over a sleepless night. One is that this false Equalization by the media the infotainment aspect and the their inability 2 call what they saw and not as Judith said give Trump a free Mega phone. The second is the growing alt right media that started so many years ago with Rush Limbaugh and grew with drudge and reached its Acme with Breitbart. This is hate, pure and simple. And a lot of people who either voted third-party or voted for Trump in the Rust Belt and out west because they thought he would bring jobs back are going to be sorely disappointed when that doesn't happen, and instead we get an economy in trouble and kids going to college with no chance of Ever Getting Any debt relief.

46677. arkymalarky - 11/9/2016 4:00:25 PM

Democrats as a party are really unified, but since Howard Dean left they have totally neglected Grassroots and local campaigning. It's ironic that trump talked about his rallies as evidence of his support, but the Democrats had massive Rallies that were very well attended and sent people out to volunteer, but they didn't build a network of democratic conversations with college kids and neighborhoods and social media that the righy wing has constructed over the last years. So now that hijacked the Republican Party in the country, and there's not a lot the passengers on this little ship of State can do about the direction it's headed, whether they voted for Trump or not.
