Who told Republicans they could start talking about rape again?

This never ends well for them.

Here's the brilliant thinking of the pro-confederate flag forces at Stone Mountain:

Quote:

Croft blamed integration and the civil rights movement on “Communist Jews” and said accused Charleston shooter Dylann Roof “should have went to the synagogue, because that’s the enemy of all of us.”

  • “This is about erasing us,” said Jimmy, a representative of the League of the South who refused to give his last name. “This is about our First Amendment rights, our Second Amendment rights — every amendment you’ve got.”

I'm pretty sure there's a few of them there amendments Jimmy doesn't want to have.

Looks like The Donald is Winning.

What's our estimate as to when Hank and Sebbie will start warming up to him, and explaining how he's not so bad?

Debate Summary
Foxbots to Trump: Are you not a fraud, a cretin and a scoundrel.

Trump: I'm very rich. Fuck yourself. I have no time for your nonsense.

Crowd: Cheers wildly.

"Robert Reich

Last night's Republican debate lived down to my expectations. Here were the ten leading candidates for the Republican nomination for President of the United States, displaying an ignorance and vacuousness unparalleled in modern times. The mere possibility that one of them might ascend to the highest office in the land, at a time when America is besieged by record inequality, grinding poverty, a shrinking middle class, billionaires who have more political power than at any time since the robber barons of Gilded Age of the 19th century, a world environmental catastrophe in the making, and the possibility of nuclear weapons falling into the hands of global terrorists -- that possibility is almost as terrifying as anything I've ever witnessed in American politics. "

How does he list this string of problems 7 years into a Dem administration and blame the R's?

Sorry, Hank, we've been busy fixing your teeth, providing healthcare, keeping the US out of war, getting us out of the great recession, opening Cuba, and getting a non-proliferation treaty done. The President is swamped.

Maybe if your republicant buddies could stop the grandstanding and clown car stuff long enough for Congress to just not get in the way - or maybe if your teeth weren't quite so bad....

In the old days, I would have created a 13-year-old-Hank sock to spout stuff like this. These days, I don't have to.

Robert Reich is to the left of President Obama (as he was to President Clinton when he served as Secretary of Labor and lost the internal stimulus/budget fight in 1993 when Bill decided that he had to "keep the fucking bond traders happy"), so I suspect it was more of a those guys are even worse kinda thing.

Did he blame Republicans in some other part of the thing you didn't quote?

Before you edited it, I was going to ask you why you think all of those things are the faults of Democrats.
