A far-fetched online fund-raiser shows the lengths to which Americans will go to circumvent the country’s broken systems.

[rktman]

WOW! Really? Well, "mull" this fidiot. Just how many of these poor downtrodden will be spending the day with you tomorrow? Yeah, didn't think so. So, I guess the 272+ thousand folks who donated $16+ million so far are all white robe wearing rabid hateful kkk assclowns in your eyes. But, 'THE atlantic' so...........

[rktman]

Actually just the first sentence is enough if you don’t feel like getting your ire up on Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas to all!!!!

It says the system is hopeless broken and that the people are not being listened to.

It’s spreading. Online usatoday just posted an article ...

What going to Home Depot and buying a new Lockset for your Front Door says about America.

[RatRipper]

AND it says that Congress and the Federal government is utterly and hopelessly corrupt - We the People have ZERO confidence in our government and court system

What does this article say about the author and The Atlantic?

The face of liberalism and just one look shows Liberalism is a mental disease, no need to read anything

It was a negative article that brought me to free republic.

[ChildOfThe60s]

It is the Atlantic. There’s really no need to read past the first sentence.

Ya know, I don’t recall how I ended up here. I lurked for a few years before getting on board. I’ve learned some things from FReepers (I think?) and hopefully have been able to put something useful forward in the 10+ years. WOW! Time flies when having fun huh? Merry Christmas.

[rktman]

:-) Merry Christmas

What is says is that the citizens are fed up with politicians in BOTH parties refusing to stop the invasion and colonization of our country.

[Logical me]

We the People have ZERO confidence in our government and court system

Right on! The only sane thing is President Trump trying to clean up the swamp and get America hole again. We lost the House and why? Millions of Americans do not have the intelligence to understand that the communists Democrats will destroy America.

[rktman]

That’s how I see it. A message that will once again fall on deaf ears (Hope the hearing impaired aren’t offended. I am one and got my VA hearing aids standing by.LOL!) The last 2 years were squandered and the next two will be a worse standstill. When you got a full house and don’t go all in, you end up losing.

Merry Christmas

It says we have a political class that largely hates the United States.
