Scum America Quotes

“So let’s just make a short list of the things the Constitution isn’t: • It isn’t an excuse to dump on people you don’t like • It isn’t carte blanche for the President to do whatever he or she likes, even if you happen to approve of whatever that is • It isn’t divinely ordained • It isn’t a vindication of “states rights” to infringe human rights • It isn’t written in stone or it wouldn’t allow for amendments • It isn’t protection of any one group’s “heritage” at the expense any other group’s • It isn’t a bulwark against immigration • It isn’t a defense of any one religious group over any other”

But there has never been a President as supremely ignorant and as supremely arrogant as Donald Trump. Trump knows nothing at all about government. He knows nothing at all about law.

“We may not be able to do that in time to stop Trump and his Republican lickspittles from killing hundreds of thousands with their criminal stupidity. But we are going to need real leaders in order to clean up the mess—and Republicans cannot be real leaders. So”

“Now is precisely the right time to see, once and for all, that Republicans are intellectually, morally, and temperamentally unfit to be in positions of governmental authority.”

“Championing policies that increase wealth inequality, doing everything they can to suppress voting, targeting immigrants—all of these truly evil policies are always harming society as a whole. But so long as people are bamboozled into thinking that they are not being harmed or into thinking that only others are being harmed, they let it go.”
