That about sums it up, eh?

Texas museum removes Trump wax figure after visitors kept attacking it "Political figures can be a little bit more polarizing," a company spokesperson said.

San Antonio Wax Museum takes down Trump display after people kept punching it. It's the little things that make me happy.

Definitely me when it comes to programming.

It's all good. This is just what the founders wanted.

Well, shit. I agree with Mike Pence. Didn't see that one coming.

If your idea of fixing racial discrimination and injustice in the world begins and ends with the cause of rich Afrikaners in South Africa losing portions of their land to eminent domain, maybe your motives aren't as pure as you make them sound.

Looking around social media sites, it does feel that someone somewhere decided that thinking was no longer "cool".

Could have had this guy.

I'd like to see Trump take one.

And we should all be well disturbed.

Apparently, we're invading Gaza soon? Still not sure if that's before or after we take over Panama, Greenland, and Canada. I need a beer.

Mostly Harmless

My wife and I swear so frequently in normal conversations that when we're REALLY mad, we have to change it up with "Golly!" and "Sheesh!"

Yeah, not a very convincing point....

We're back in the loop....

As I've said I'm not talking about the bigots. I'm talking about those who are not as informed as us, the people who love the ACA and hate "Obamacare" because they don't pay attention, they don't read the news, they don't know. If they regret their mistake, listen and help inform them. Recruit.

I'm arguing for bringing over people who admit they made a mistake. You not only want to alienate them, but you're coming after me, someone who probably agrees with you on almost every issue.

That's not the kind of person I'm talking about. A better comparison is August Landmesser, who joined the Nazi party in 1931 hoping it would lead to a job. He realized his mistake. This is believed to him five years later, refusing to salute Hitler. He was later imprisoned and died in 1944.

You're right. You telling me to fuck myself for having a different viewpoint has magically convinced me that you are indeed correct and the sort of person I want to associate with. Thank you for demonstrating the foolishness of my ways.

Absolutely not. Those aren't the people I'm talking about. I'm talking about people who were badly informed, realize they were wrong, and admit that they made a mistake. Alienating people is how you lose elections. I believe that informing people will lead many away from the Republicans.

Please understand I am not talking about the absolute crazies. Those are the 30% who would never express regret or admit a mistake in the first place.
