Hazard is the seat of Perry County, Kentucky, which went for Trump.

There's actually a coal mining town named Hazard?

I feel like those same people were annoyed at the Dakota pipeline protesters and were just fine with seeing the water cannons used on veterans!

Oh they hated the Pipeline people...some of them flat out defended their treatment around here both passively and aggressively. Amazingly they didnt have the same opinion for the White Terrorists...I wonder why that is.

It's ("drain the swamp") clearly just an empty slogan. Chasing specifics would seem a waste of time. No Trumpeter is going to admit, "okay, you got me, I'll vote better next time."

Originally it meant he was going to get rid of the money people in charge (remember his wanting to get rid of Goldman Sachs People) and get things more efficient. That didnt even last until December.

He fleeced people into thinking he was going to cause a phase shift in Washington, then fleeced them again by telling them he wasnt serious and they knew it. He convinced what 35% of the population (according to polls) that he was going to do something, then failed to do it, then did the opposite and that they KNEW he was going to do the opposite so he actually did what they wanted him to do!

Yepper. Named for Commodore Perry.

Like every other town in Kentucky, it's this from a distance and this from up close.

I want to feel bad but I dont. Elections have consequences and they willfully chose to vote for someone who would rather watch poor people die than actually help them out. They thought he was one of them...he would sooner shoot them than actually have to deal with them.

Sad times for the Hitler fan boys. I hear there are some really good people among them.

Further proof that "just ignore them" is about the stupidest idea since "Donald Trump For President". Stand up to bullies...

This is great news. I hope it is a one off though and the definition of 'hate speech' isn't broadened.

You can't ignore these racist curs. Discredit, disrupt, disinfect.

Twas ever thus with the working class and their Republican and Evangelical despots. Those who back them are fed along with their children right back into the meat grinder of war, poverty, and deregulation.

One person's definition hate speech is dismissed by another as being politically correct. It was not long ago that many of the bile things that these morons said was just politically correct speech.

Which is a big problem.

And now we have dump, who freely insults a lot of people, and complains that it's just politically correct nonsense.

In other words, I'm 100% sure that some of what I would consider hate speech, you would not. So who gets to decide?

It's funny, as words become "hate speech"- those are the same times in history that actual rights are reluctantly given to the people being "hated".

It seems to me you're discounting the possibility that 'normal speech' could be labeled 'hate speech' in order to suppress it. I think we're better off allowing more than less, except in cases like this one where there is basically universal agreement that it is hate speech.

No, I'm not. It was not long ago that many of the racial slurs that we spoke of African Americans were just part of 'normal speech'. What we consider "universal" now wasn't always- it's evolving as more and more people are included fully into society. Heck, the words that the morons spoke with the tiki torches were pretty common back in the 30's, and widely accepted.

Again, what you consider normal may be very hateful to someone else.

One key think that you want to dismiss is that WORDS MATTER. dump is a great example of that- since he's such a great hypocrite for words- he slings them but can't take them. Words mean that you don't want to accept someone as an equal, and that's bad.

(and yes, I am aware that I'm a hypocrite, calling the neo nazis morons and the president dump. But the goal IS to be non-respectful. If the goal is to be respectful, is it so hard to just be nice?)

The first time I heard anybody use the term "political correctness" it was to complain they couldn't drop the "N" word anymore, even when and I quote "they weren't around."
