This spring, a new book by Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren that will take on the decline of the middle class, how to fix it and the damage wrought by Donald Trump’s presidency.
"When the left doesn't have any OTHER arguments they go and just accuse everyone of being a racist"
Note, he's not saying folks AREN'T racists, he's just saying it's the last argument that the Democrats pull out. Which sadly, is a little too on the nose, but not in the way he's trying to spin it.
Ted Cruz is a champion debater, so when he thinks the best way to defend Jeff Sessions from Coretta Scott King’s charges of racism (as read by Elizabeth Warren) is to change the subject and attack Democrats as the real racists, you know he’s got nothing to work with on actually defending Sessions. Appearing on Fox News Wednesday morning, Cruz hit the wayback machine:
I’ve got to say by the way the charges she was making against Jeff Sessions are demonstrably false, they're slanderous, they’re ugly. It is one of the crutches. When the left doesn't have any other arguments they go and just accuse everyone of being a racist and it is an ugly, ugly part of the modern Democratic party. Jeff Sessions is an honorable, decent person. The charges that she was recounting, you know, Senate judiciary committee, we had extensive hearings, we heard from witnesses, people involved in these false charges.
And I'll point out, listen, the Democrats are the party of the Ku Klux Klan. You look at the most racist—the Dixiecrats, they were Democrats who imposed segregation, who imposed Jim Crow laws, who founded the Klan. ... Yet now the Democrats just accuse anyone they disagree with of being a racist. That was a false smear of Jeff Sessions and I think he will make an extraordinary attorney general. After eight years we deserve an attorney general who’ll be faithful to the law and faithful to the Constitution.
Cruz is aggressively, desperately changing the subject here. Elizabeth Warren read Coretta Scott King’s words, but he needs it to be about Warren. In 1986, both Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee decided Jeff Sessions was too racist to be a federal judge, but it’s ugly, demonstrably false slander to say he has a race problem, let alone to read what Coretta Scott King had to say about him at that time.
Okay, but I’m being 1,000% serious now. Survivors and victims don’t give a fuck if their abuser changed. They really don’t care. It does not change what the abuser did. No matter what you think, survivors and victims are still allowed to hate their abusers, whether or not the abuser has “changed”. Even if the abuser has mental illnesses.
when ppl act like the goal of anti-nazi ppl is to “”change their minds”” about their “”beliefs”” like… that’s…
we don’t give a shit about their ~beliefs~??? I dont care if mr dick is sittin in his house thinking jews are awful. I would LIKE for him to not think that but I ultimately do not care. I do not care about changing his thoughts.
i care about preventing him from having enough of a public platform that he and people like him gain the power to ACT ON those beliefs.
so yes actually! punching nazis when they are trying to be suave on television, such that they are unwilling to try to go and appear suave on television again, does accomplish that.
i dont care what mr dick thinking in the privacy of the hole he crawled out of, at this point. we are at a point where there are way more pressing things regarding nazis. which is like. nazis get to be suave on television.
The richest country in the world? And yet, we can not do well by the homeless, our veterans, the indigent seniors….If you have good health, a good job and Great insurance, the USA is a great place to live, lose any of these and you are a stones throw from where these people are right now!
We need MORE CITIES doing this! When you feel fresh & clean it’s exillerating & you’re on top of the world. When you’re dirty you feel worthless & a disguarded piece of trash!!! This idea is a Good thing!
‘nasa just emailed a wrench to space’ i genuinely, unironically love how i’ve come to a point where i just take this stuff in stride, like i was in 3rd grade when we got our first vcr and now we’re here. emailing wrenches to space. i love it so much.
“Girls want a Superman, but they walk past a Clark Kent every day”
You fuckin CLOWNS think you’re a CLARK KENT? Not on my fuckin watch. You dumb, headass motherfuckers are barely a Guy Gardner and you think you’re a CLARK KENT? The amount of disrespect is unreal.
And here it is, a mad cunt openly recognizing she’s alone sand and angry
oh feminists, never change
But that’s the point, you moron. We aren’t alone. Clark Kent AKA fucking SUPERMAN married one of US. Clark Kent’s dream girl ::was:: a “nasty woman” *TM feminist who was angry about patriarchy and if she was real right now would be no doubt spending her days railing on Donald Trump and going to protests and he would be right there with her. The most handsome, wonderful man in fiction has been in love with kind of woman you hate for 80 years years because, unlike you, Clark Kent actually respects women and is a good person. Which is why he’s not alone. He’s happily married and has a child.
That’s why this post got 17,000 notes in 24 hours. Because men like you who literally call women “cunts” actually think you identify with Clark fucking Kent! That he’s your namesake. You honestly think that Clark Kent—the man who told Pulitzer Prize winner LOIS LANE that he would love her “until the end of time” would agree with you. You are getting laughed at by 17,000 women because you have the audacity to think you are Superman when you are actually the villain in this story. You are Lex Luthor. Meanwhile, women like us aren’t alone unless we choose to be. We are quite literally validated by SUPERMAN. Which is why he’s awesome and you are not.
There are so many hurt man feelings in the notes. 😯😂😂
Hurt male feelings bc these morons have been going through life thinking they are Clark fucking Kent while simultaneously calling women bitches and cunts proving that not only are they delusional but they don’t even understand the Superman myth. Thanks for the entertainment, guys.
I have to say while I agree with so much of these posts, I think the OP is doing a disservice to Guy Gardner.
At his very worst (and most brain damaged), Guy Gardner tried like hell to be a good man to the girl he loved. He fucked up a lot, was crude, insensitive, and a jerk, but we saw him do his damnedest to treat her well. We saw him comfort her after a hero’s death, hold in his temper when being extensively mocked because she was having fun, and other small and large gestures to show how much he cared. He tried to change for her and he worked damn hard at it.
He even learned her language, during a time when he was mocked for not being able to complete a child’s crossword puzzle. And after she died, he kept trying to be a better person and be worthy of her.
The men that the OP discuss are absolutely not Clark Kents. But they’re also not Guy Gardners. Because Guy Gardners fucking try.
