• everyone deserves medical
treatment when they’re sick
No one is ever really denying those points, what we argue about is who qualifies for it. Illegals shouldn’t, not when we have millions of homeless, hungry and sick Americans out on the street.
EVERYONE.
Every. One.
All humans. All of them. Any one who is human.
EVERY human.
EVERYONE.
“No one is ever really denying those points” *goes on to immediately deny those points*
People’s attempt to create a false equivalency between Trump and Clinton in order to maintain a sense of normalcy in the midst of all the chaos in this election is going to be what drives America and our democracy straight off a cliff come November. Wake up and smell the fascism.
Moderator: “[…] You called what you said ‘locker room banter.’ You described kissing women without consent, grabbing their genitals. That is sexual assault. You bragged that you sexually assaulted women. Do you understand that?”
Donald Trump: “No, I didn’t say that. I don’t think you understood what was said. This was locker room talk. I’m not proud of it.”
Hillary: [desperately trying to hold herself together]
Donald Trump: “I apologize to my family. I apologize to the American people. Certainly I’m not proud of it, but this is locker room talk.”
Hillary: [looks at the camera like she’s on The Office]
While in PA hr told his minions to be on the look out for fraudulent voters per a recording I heard on Npr.
I’m in Pittsburgh and every year my fb feed and local news are flooded with stories of people being sent away from the polls for “being at the wrong place in correspondence to their address ”
They get told to go somewhere else and they go but get sent away from there too.
The idea is to cause sof much frustration people choose to just go home and not vote.
Find out where you are supposed to vote at today. Print it out and go with a friend that lives in the neighborhood incase people at the poles try to say you don’t live there.
i walked in on my 4 year old nephew sitting alone on his bed eating grapes in the dark and i didn’t even get a chance to say anything before he said “i don’t have answers”
2015 - Here are some gifs of Donald Trump being attacked by a bald eagle named Uncle Sam, literally the least patriotic thing that can happen to an American. [video]
I’m reblogging this again because I finally realized why this is so funny to me, as a bird person.
In the first gif, what you’re seeing is a man who has zero idea how to handle a bird. That’s a heavy bird, and he’s got his arm stretched out as far as it will go in an attempt to keep the bird away from his face. What that does is create unstable footing for Uncle Sam. The handler is there trying to hold up Trump’s arm, but the bird has already realized it needs to leave or it will fall. In the first gif the bird is not attacking Trump- it is trying to get away from him so it doesn’t get hurt.
In the second gif, what we see is a bird that remembers what just happened and is blaming Trump for it. Uncle Sam sees Trump reach for its tether, and makes a lunge at Trump’s hand to keep him away. The bird /does not/ want to hang out with Trump because it has learned that Trump has no idea what he is doing.
Uncle Sam is rejecting Trump based on Trump’s proven inability to properly handle Uncle Sam. And that is both hilarious and beautiful.
Good bird.
Always reblog Uncle Sam telling Trump to fuck off
This is a better explanation of these gifs than I could have given!
The doors have closed on another year of New York Comic Con—but we’ve still got one last dose of cosplay goodness to share from the Javits Center. Here’s our absolute favorite cosplayers from the final day of NYCC!
"William Ziegler escaped this mortal realm on Friday, July 29, 2016 at the age of 69. We think he did it on purpose to avoid having to make a decision in the pending presidential election. He leaves behind four children, five grandchildren, and the potted meat industry, for which he was an unofficial spokesman until dietary restrictions forced him to eat real food. William volunteered for service in the United States Navy at the ripe old age of 17 and immediately realized he didn't much enjoy being bossed around. He only stuck it out for one war. Before his discharge, however, the government exchanged numerous ribbons and medals for various honorable acts.
Upon his return to the City of New Orleans in 1971, thinking it best to keep an eye on him, government officials hired William as a fireman. After twenty-five years, he suddenly realized that running away from burning buildings made more sense than running toward them. He promptly retired. Looking back, William stated that there was no better group of morons and mental patients than those he had the privilege of serving with (except Bob, he never liked you, Bob).
Following his wishes, there will not be a service, but well-wishers are encouraged to write a note of farewell on a Schaefer Light beer can and drink it in his honor. He was never one for sentiment or religiosity, but he wanted you to know that if he owes you a beer, and if you can find him in Heaven, he will gladly allow you to buy him another. He can likely be found forwarding tasteless internet jokes (check your spam folder, but don't open these at work). Expect to find an alcoholic dog named Judge passed out at his feet.
Unlike previous times, this is not a ploy to avoid creditors or old girlfriends. He assures us that he is gone. He will be greatly missed."

Last Friday, October 7th, the Comic Con Fest In New York City was home to some pretty amazing cosplays. The highlight this year? Rebecca Lindsay’s awe-inspiring Mystique cosplay.
Show Full Text
Mystique is a supervillain from X-Men who has the ability to shapeshift. Her natural appearance is blue skin and red hair. “Making it was tough and I totally had my mom sew me into the thing and help glue on the sequins,” Lindsay told Cosplay In America. “I used an army costume from Ebay and a cheapo body suit from Amazon. We just cut off the extra and sewed the uniform on top of the blue. The sequins helped cover up all the seems. I also used two wigs and sewed those things together (so tough!!!) and sprayed the mystique hair bright red.”
Jody Houser photographed and posted a photo of Lindsay’s Mystique costume on Instagram on the second day of NYCC, and it has gone viral since – within a few hours the photo had made its way to sites such as Imgur, Reddit, Twitter, and beyond. Check it out below!
Donald Trump went into Sunday night’s debate with a lot of attention on his treatment of women. You might have thought discussion of whether he was a sexual predator would make him extra careful not to look like a sexual predator, but you’d have been wrong. Trump’s creepy body language was widely noticed by debate watchers. Erin Gloria Ryan nails the description:
He lumbered awkwardly around the stage, seemingly unaware of how to stand like a human person. He didn’t seem to know what to do with his face, licking his lips and appearing distracted when he wasn’t the one doing the talking. He loomed over Hillary Clinton, stalking behind her and glaring at her as she answered questions, in a manner that many women might recognize as the sort of way a man who is trying to physically intimidate them might act.
Twitter had a lot to say:

I'm a Muslim, and I would like to report a crazy man threatening a woman on a stage in Missouri. #debate
There’s much more, because Trump spent a lot of time being creepy. It’s almost like the man who bragged about kissing women and grabbing their genitals without consent doesn’t know how to share space with a woman in a respectful and appropriate way. Go figure.
my aunt was talking to someone she goes to church with about the bakery that wouldnt bake wedding cakes for gays or whatever and the lady she was talking to was going on about how she shouldnt HAVE to and my aunt says
“karen, would jesus bake the cake”
“…………..[sighs] i guess jesus would bake the cake.”
Jesus would bake the cake, bring a good gift, and happily chat with Aunt Milly who is 70 and only will talk about her 15 cats and how she misses Bob Barker on the Price is Right. Jesus would be the best guest and so happy for the brides or grooms.
“When you’ve always had more than enough food to eat, being asked to share your food with someone who is starving may feel like an imposition,” she explains. “To some people, it may even feel like an offensive violation of your right to have whatever you want to eat any time you want to eat it.”

Marissa Lee, co-founder of Racebending.com, a website that advocates for underrepresented groups in fandom and media, tells Complex that she believes many of these complaints hinge on sociologist Hubert M. Blalock, Jr.’s “power threat theory.”

Tombili: Istanbul cat and worldwide meme honoured with statue
‘Tombili’, a rotund cat beloved by Istanbul’s Ziverbey neighbourhood, has been commemorated by the city authorities after local demand for a tribute to his memory. Tombili - a Turkish word often used for chubby pets - was known by residents of Ziverbey, part of the district of Kadıköy, for his nonchalant demeanour towards people who wanted to play with him. The cat became world famous earlier this year after a photo of him reclining in one of his favourite spots on the pavement was shared thousands of times on social media. Kadıköy’s deputy mayor said in the inauguration ceremony that 17,000 people had demanded a memorial sculpture.
