Who politicize Covid, tried to deny its existence, then sowed doubt about the vaccines? Who fought to prevent evolutionary science from being taught? Who fought against those who didn’t fit into strict gender roles? Who now sees skin color as a sign of a lack intelligence and morals? Who fought against climate science and man’s role in climate change?

The left didn’t want money siphoned off from education, jobs, and healthcare. RememberThe Last Poets? They had a piece called “Whitey’s on The Moon”, it criticized the space program while there was poverty and injustice in the inner city. It was about spending priorities. BTW, the space program used Velcro to hold things in place, but now they have found other ways. Tang became popular after it was discovered it was used by astronauts.

The movie follow a young girl into adulthood. It is a quiet, beautifully choreographed. See it with your SO. The young girl is a servant, sent by her family to a well to do family. There's very little dialog, but the visuals tell the story. At the end the message is pointed out for those who missed it.

Obama didn't block tax exempt applications. It was a Republican IRS supervisor that decided to set aside the applications to give more time for employees to learn how to use the new tax exemption, and clear up applicant errors. The disparity in conservative to liberal scrutiny was in part due to the conservative groups used the new tax status much more than liberal groups. This disparity was investigated by the FBI and they found no criminal activity at the IRS. "Fast and Furious" was a sting that went bad.

Comment Re:Stop calling it social media (Score 1) 312

This!

I had to take and advanced class in Web/Media and in the first week the professor asked about social media users.

In a class of 40 students I was one of maybe two that was not on social media.

I was asked why I was not on social media and replied, "Ask anyone in this building, or even on this campus about and I will be remembered because I interact with people.
Why do I need social media".

Well, in the ensuing 5 months I was cruising the campus with my new S.O. and was stopped by a formerly fellow student that asked "didn't you graduate 3 months ago?"

I told him "yes, I did and now I am here with my S.O. and going for a walk after having applied for a bunch of jobs during the week".

Now consider: 3 months after I left, and well after hours (even for a college campus) and I remembered the guy's name and he remembered mine"...well, just consider the average social media encounter w/o a name + face.
How much time is left puzzling: "do I know them, like them and all the other BS questions vs. 'Just Keep walking and ignore if not' or talk to them".

Yes, I understand the value of SM, but darned if I did not see the downside of it from the get go.

I am secure enough in my person to care what I think of me and consider your opinion and not give a flying fuck when 98% appropriate.

I.E. Live long and prosper or DIAF, as appropriate. ;)

I've avoided anything political for years because I'm sick of the BS all around...BUT could not resist and just hit the back button.

Here is why:

Er, how is that news? Look at what happened November 8th, 2016 for insanity index. Forecast; High.

Rod Serling voice: Imagine if you will you live in a red'ish area and have been pushed around by your "betters" in blue for 8 years.
A "Republican" president is elected in what was (as Micheal Moore said) was the biggest FU to both sides and it would feel good.

Well, it did feel good and I laughed heartily and long with many chuckles for the past 35+ days.

I wish I could find the meme like http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election/2016/countymaprb1024.png where it said
  "The blue areas want a civil war to oust President Trump, but the red areas own 95% of the guns. How's that gonna work out?"

Chance of dunderheads: 100%

Agreed, but before Nov 9, 2016. Then it changed.

Protectionism, Xenophobia, and nut job anti-consumerism regulations to be expected for the next two years.

Secured boarders and deporting illegals, visa overstays and countries that sponsor terror, Xenophobic only as it relates to those that want to hurt/kill is usually called common sense.
Anti-consumerism? Not wanting to buy a product that anyone paying attention would have (and DID) tell you was a P.O.S not even meant to help?
