And equally important: do NOT ever regurgitate (unless quoting) imbecilities and disinformation taken from Democratic party shills online, on tv, or in print. These include but are not limited to: The Daily Kos, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Salon, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NPR, PBS, The Young Turks, and many other venues—the list is long and tedious indeed. It goes without saying that ideological manure in support of the decomposing capitalist status quo, the American empire (and its countless crimes and hypocrisies), against ecological or animal defense, in favor of US "wars of choice across the globe," the endless demonising of Russia, Putin, Iran, Venezuela, Syria or any other nation standing up for its sovereignty against Washington's perfidious plans, or pseudo news imported from FoxNews and other parts of the Republican noise machine, or wacko rightwing nonsense, will also be deemed extremely toxic to this site and unceremoniously banned. This site is not for liberals or liberaloids, Obamabots, Hillarybots, bourgeois feminists, or comfortable centrists brainwashed into believing that getting rid of Trump is all it will take to get the United States back to a fantasy position of goodness, democracy, and world leadership as an exemplary nation. We regard such unreconstructed imperialist libtards as much of a plague as the Yahoos and insane folks festering on the ultra right.
People who regurgitate stupid, insane or mean-spirited right-wing nonsense against socialist ideas (and by that we do NOT mean what in many rightwing minds passes as socialism or communism, like the deranged notion that a Wall Street shill like Obama or the Democrats are "communists" are similarly banned. That kind of unhistorical, capitalist propaganda-fueled garbage should have been stamped out of their heads a long time ago. Criticism from the left of phony socialists like Syriza in Greece and varieties of social democratic politics is also open to tough examination.
Have a good day.

Parting shot—a word from the editors
The Best Definition of Donald Trump We Have Found
In his zeal to prove to his antagonists in the War Party that he is as bloodthirsty as their champion, Hillary Clinton, and more manly than Barack Obama, Trump seems to have gone “play-crazy” — acting like an unpredictable maniac in order to terrorize the Russians into forcing some kind of dramatic concessions from their Syrian allies, or risk Armageddon.However, the “play-crazy” gambit can only work when the leader is, in real life, a disciplined and intelligent actor, who knows precisely what actual boundaries must not be crossed. That ain’t Donald Trump — a pitifully shallow and ill-disciplined man, emotionally handicapped by obscene privilege and cognitively crippled by white American chauvinism. By pushing Trump into a corner and demanding that he display his most bellicose self, or be ceaselessly mocked as a “puppet” and minion of Russia, a lesser power, the War Party and its media and clandestine services have created a perfect storm of mayhem that may consume us all.— Glen Ford, Editor in Chief, Black Agenda Report
