Simple question for you, what is woke?
To liberals woke equates with the advencement of and/or equality of people of color.
To the vast majority of conservatives–but not all–woke is a dogwhistle, hell, it’s probably a straight out whistle about the transgender ‘agenda.’
Although the media will probably never report how much influence all the transgender scaremongering had over the election–I imagine it had a material impact.
The entire transgeder issue is the ultimate in idenity politics failure.

Mr. Insecurity picks a Fox News host for SecDef Donald Trump proved critics right again on Tuesday. All this time I thought one of strongest motivators for Donald (Mr. Insecurity) Trump’s was to get the world to stop “laughing at us” (him). It’s considered one of the reasons he ran for president after sitting through some skillful mocking at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner. “Saturday Night Live” comedian Seth Meyers and President Obama (Did you know he’s Black?) both roasted Trump as unserious. “Donald Trump has been saying he will run for president as a Republican — which is surprising, since I just assumed he was running as a joke,” Meyers jabbed as Trump sat stone-faced. “That evening of public abasement, rather than sending Mr. Trump away, accelerated his ferocious efforts to gain stature within the political world,” wrote Maggie Haberman and Alexander Burns after the 2016 Super Tuesday primaries. “And it captured the degree to which Mr.
Tired of apple picking and morally opposed to pumpkin patches? Welcome to our cranberry bog.
Founded in 1616 and then founded again in 2017, Giving Thanks Cranberry Bog is a family-owned and -operated bog. Located in the Midwest region of the Northeast, our bog offers an array of beloved bog-based activities for friends, bachelorette parties, and children of divorce.
Cranberry collection takes place daily from sunrise to sundown. But after 4 p.m., the bog is adults only, as the cranberries start to ferment. Thursday is Ladies’ Night. Sunday mornings, we’re closed to dredge the bog.
You must be vaccinated against hepatitis and leptospirosis. The rats use the bog as their bathroom. The city forced us to deal with our large predator problem, but we’re left with a surplus of rats. You want one?
No Band-Aids. No recent wounds or diarrhea. No history of broken bones. (Like dolphins, cranberries are sensitive to that sort of thing.) No visible moles. That has nothing to do with health codes; we just don’t like how they look.

This happens with every rightwing election win[1], but nothing ever comes of it. With the real prospect of indefinite Trumpist rule, the issues are more serious, but it seems unlikely that much will happen. But why not? It’s fairly […]

John Oliver on Trump’s cabinet short list: Talk of who will fill President-elect Donald J. Trump’s new Cabinet has already inspired rampant speculation, and a chart of potential picks from CNN revealed “a deep bench of idiots, freaks and wannabe tough guys,” according to John Oliver. “That chart f—ing sucks,” The Last Week Tonight host said Sunday. “It looks like a ‘choose your fighter’ screen where the only thing they’re fighting is the arc of the moral universe. It looks like an advent calendar where every circle opens up to a tiny piece of literal shit. It looks like a game board for Guess Who? Oops! All a–holes.” No doubt about it. I totally identify with this rant by Oliver. No it is not easier. It’s horrible:
