  • Of course he was, he’s a skirt chasing country boy from Arkansas, however, he was at least compassionate enough to open some of those doors for our LGBTQ allies, DOMA was shitty legislation but after it’s passing many other steps were made to help these folks.

    I’m not sure how old you were in '96, but I was a Jr in Highschool at the time, most people still used “fag” and “homo” to joke around about stuff still. We only had two completely out gay dudes in my highschool, I was cool with both of them and knew them through some girls that we all were mutual friends with. At one point some of the more "white trash/racist kids that I’d already had a problem with started harassing these gay dudes pretty constantly and pretty aggressively and the girls we were mutual friends with got my friends and I to handle the situation for them, we out numbered the homophobes by quite a bit and they chose not to fight at that time.

    Now mind you, this is on Long Island, just a short train ride to NYC, the Village, and Stonewall, and Pride parades happened each year at this point, so while there were only two out gay dudes in my school most likely many of us had a LGBTQ person we knew back then that was out. Now imagine how this situation would have gone down back in '96, in Arkansas, I can tell you exactly how it would go down based on my experiences living in Florida during the early 90’s as well, but also by how it would go down even now in Arkansas.

    So sure saying Clinton was as homophobic as the rest in 1996 is pretty much saying that water is wet, most people were ignorant, and even worse many of us still believed the HIV based homophobic conspiracy theories, because AIDS was a huge problem at the time.


  • It’s crazy how you’re too dumb to see the difference between Ukraine and Israel, and I say that as someone of Jewish descent with a shitload of Jewish friends and family, as well as a veteran.

    The people outright killing civilians are always the bad guys, sure collateral damage happens, but this ain’t it, this is the same shit that Ruzzia does where they purposely depopulate areas with the purpose of moving some of their people into those depopulated areas to lay claim to it, while literally squatting in some poor executed family’s home. This is trash human behavior.


  • First I like how you are trying to shade people about not being able to work hard, I’ve known homeless folks who work their asses off but can’t get ahead, can’t get approved for a place to live. Also they can’t get hired because of their mental illness, which Reagan helped put millions of those folks out on the streets, raising crime rates, so how’s that for results? Then you have the millions of hard working addicts living life on pain killers because our healthcare is f’n joke, how’s that for results when the rest of the world has universal healthcare? Education system is completely unaffordable so you have people going homeless over their broken college dreams and/or their crushing student debt, yet hey the answer to education is voucher programs and only rich kids get to go to college, how’s that for results?

    Secondly how about we tax the rich? That’s where I expect the money to come from, we used to have a 50% tax on the wealthy, and it helped create our education system, library system, highway system, yet again Republicans constantly want to lower taxes on literal billionaires, eventually trillionaires, because when the fuck do you have enough money? Bernie Sanders said billionaires shouldn’t exist, they should be able to get to $999,999,999.99 and get a plaque that says they win capitalism, ans I whole heartedly agree with that statement. Oh and it gets even worse for your beloved Republicans where Trump’s tax plan that he put in place during his administration financed giving the wealthy their tax cuts, by increasing taxes on the lower and middle classes for the next four years, we are currently in year four, how about that for results bud?

    I’ve worked hard since I was twelve years old, ran a whole kitchen including dish duty at thirteen, I served this country as Marine, and I am currently upper middle class, yet I don’t begrudge these people help, because I’m not a selfish fuckhead, but also the way I see it is we can provide healthcare, food, housing to our military, we should be able to do the same for those that we are supposed to be protecting, and do protect, especially during natural disasters.

    You my friend and all of your selfish libertarian/Republican dipshits can go fuck yourselves, and doubly so if you’re a MAGA cultist.


  • Well, you see, bad things like poverty only happen to amoral people who aren’t God fearing so if they’re poor then they’re bad people and they deserve mistreatment.

    Exactly, this is the type of garbage the “prosperity gospel” preaches to these people, and it’s disgusting and tries to elevate these people over others based on their stations in life, something that usually cannot be helped. The prosperity gospel is essentially class warfare distilled into religious brainwashing.


  • It’s wild to me how these “God fearing Christians” basically want to put poor people into concentration camps, because that’s just like Jesus would do. /s

    Maybe if we had more public housing, better healthcare, that includes mental and dental, and easier and cheaper access to higher education and more affordable housing while being educated, it’s not rocket science, sure we’ll have people who choose the nomadic life but most of these homeless people have been pushed out of society by debt or by their health issues and the addictions that come from those health issues and poverty.
