    I read the article. What the fuck was Bannon trying to spew? Doesn’t feel like a victory? It shouldn’t feel like shit we’re passing a fucken budget to keep our country running. You should be urging yourself not to check your phone so you avoid appearing disinterested. It shouldn’t be a WWE match in this bitch. Fuck. Don’t grow up kids, there are no adults.

      That’s the only language they understand. Winning and losing, good and evil, with nothing in between. The common good is irrelevant, the general welfare is irrelevant, and dissenting voices are irrelevant. It’s “I get mine and fuck you”. Full stop.

        The part that I sometimes find the most disturbing is that they seem to think that’s exactly how it is for everyone else.

        And worse yet, in many ways the general welfare and common good are not irrelevant to them but something they are committed to actively opposing. General welfare and common good tend toward increasing the numbers of sane, secure, less-traumatized, reasonably-educated people who vote for more of the same in a positive feedback loop. And that is hell for anyone who’s committed to a race to the bottom in what they perceive as a fundamentally dog-eat-dog world where we are no more than semi-literate primates.

      @Sanctus @jeffw

      If they took just a quick moment to invite me to testify, there would absolutely be a WWE match in that bitch.

      MarkWayneBubbaJoeBob is welcome to come get some. I would enjoy nothing more than stuffing my fist into the gaping shitholes they call mouths.
