Dolores Huerta says she was shouted down with ‘English-only’ chants from a Sanders crowd 

This article isn’t as fascinating as watching posts ‘defending and pretending’ about it from Bernie supporters on facebook. The absolutely visceral and hating rants are a jambalaya of obnoxiousness. There’s the spite, the persecution complex, the underlying belief that anyone else is evil outside of Bernie. Long story short, Bernie supporters and their comments on Hillary are why I fucking loathe progressives. They are the most close-minded, hateful, paranoid, and bigoted people ever and their affection for outrageous conspiracy theory doesn’t make them any appealing.

It’s like they think Hillary is the opponent, and not the GOP. It reminds me of how much I hated Obama’s ridiculously smalled-minded, tunnel-vision, impractical, holier-than-thou, and cognitively challenged supporters in ’08. Either group provides a damn good reason to block out anything their candidate is saying.

The prejudice against the mainstream isn’t nearly as striking as the tacit misogyny that none of them seem to notice they are all to willing to employ in their nasty put downs. If the best argument you have is to be snide and hostile to the other side, well you don’t have anything worthy of being supported in the first place.

It’s clear none of the obnoxious hipsters will be around in the General, it’d be nice if their snobby, bigoted asses went home, sat down, and shut the fuck up already, sooner than later.

A Brief List of Some of the Many Terrible Things Antonin Scalia Said and Wrote 

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died at the age of 79 on Saturday. It was an apparently peaceful death, by all accounts, in his bedroom at a West Texas luxury resort after a weekend of quail hunting. He has children and grandchildren and Ruth Bader Ginsburg to mourn him; let’s not do that here. Because Scalia, while brilliant, was also a titanic, sweeping, one-man disaster for LGBT rights, racial justice, abortion access and general human decency.

what a fucking tool.

What to do When Someone is Having a Mental Health Crisis on the Street 

There’s the great quote by Abraham Maslow that says “I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.” And unfortunately that’s often how it is with the American police. They are trained in ending crisis situations forcefully, but there isn’t enough training in how to deescalate them so that no one gets hurt or killed.

O’Connor undermines GOP talking points on Court vacancy

Sandra O’Connor, a Reagan appointee, effectively said the exact opposite of what Republican senators wanted to hear.

While she did lose my respect for retiring to take care of her ill husband (not OK! Never will be OK until it is the norm for men to do the same for their wives!!!) I have to give it to her on this one. You go, girl!

Marco Rubio chuckles after man shouts ‘Waterboard Hillary!’ 

Plus this little tidbit:

“We’re keeping Guantanamo. Forever. OK? We’re keeping it forever. It’s a good base,” he added.

Whatever planet Rubio is on, things like logic don’t work there.

Guantanamo ain’t done shit for US Security except create problems, you addled-brained pissant!

And laughing about waterboarding a former secretary of state, let alone presidential candidate? Obviously class isn’t welcome on planet Rubio either.

Obama Cuts Abstinence-Only Sex Education | Teen Vogue

There is no evidence these programs ever worked.

It’s official: Obama has cut all abstinence-only education from the 2017 federal budget. In his proposed budget for 2017, Obama has eliminated a $10 million-a-year grant from the Department of Health and Human Services that funds these programs. Over the past 25 years, Congress has spent over $1.5 billion on abstinence-only-until-marriage programs, despite there being no study in a professional peer-reviewed journal that has found this method effective. Again, there is no evidence that supports abstinence-only sex education.
