"standard retort of leftists" lol i think all we need at this point is a BUT HER EMAILS post and we'll have reached maximum absurdity. what an absolute dumpster fire

It sort of rubs me the wrong way that someone born in 1938 can get away with passing judgment on large groups of people with the conclusion that you "don't have much use for them" It's a good thing my generation doesn't consider decrepit old guys second-rate citizens as you do blacks. Let us know how that makes you feel.

"They are trying to take away our history & our heritage." emphasis mine "I'm someone who believes in more monuments, not less" Removing racist pieces of ***** from office will show that the nation will not celebrate acts of treason nor tolerate memorializing those who went to war in order to continue the horrific state-sponsored version of racial discrimination of the southern states and will serve as a refutation of the white supremacy ideology in which slavery was rooted.

i feel like we're not there yet. we still have to go deeper.

this thread is complete bizarro world to me

I would also note that the graphic may be a bit misleading -- starting around 1900 might be when war veterans were dying, and monuments were erected in their memory.

It's sort of interesting that ethics in video game journalism might be the origin of the paradigm shift we're experiencing.

Let's be honest, WWIII is a pretty gross exaggeration. A skirmish with NK is certainly terrifying in context, but is there any reason to believe it would escalate beyond that to a global scale (even if every human on the planet would suffer the effects)?

KKK: Cleanse America of all non-whites, even if it requires force and violence to achieve purity. BLM: Please don't shoot us Centrist Media: We can't tell the difference between these extremists

I'm not accusing anyone of being a white supremacist; I happen to think some people are unable to process information in a manner that the rest of us can. That is not a crime, but it is worth being able to distinguish.

What exactly would make you think that? My experience suggests to me that ignorance is not as nuanced as we'd like. HILLARY'S EMAILS and BENGHAZI and SETH RICH are still effective talking points among the especially stupid, including Trump himself. I suspect it's equally likely that OP is emboldened by the weekend's events as she is sickened. Trump has, against all odds, facilitated and harbored such sentiment. Are you prepared to accept some empty statement as reform?

Sort of interesting political maneuver for Pency-poo to willingly admit that he also is unfit for office. Wouldn't this have been the perfect opportunity to say absolutely nothing and gain some favor with supporters who might be disenfranchised by mango mussolini's senility?

They believe it's already happened. It's great to see that the invertebrate republican officials are finally taking matters into their own hands by expressing some concern and frustration and in some cases anger at these comments on twitter. I knew they'd do the right thing!

Well. the POTUS just held a press conference in which he unapologetically defended Nazis and white supremacists. Equivocating, hand-waving, straight-up denying that they were even Nazis. These are his true colors.

The group most likely to believe that whites are being discriminated against also happens to be the group that embraces anti-intellectualism. You use words like "intelligent" but intelligence and the ability to research and fact-check are products of education, which this group lacks comparatively, further disadvantaging them.

hrothgar, is "***** for brains" still the preferred title for owners of these kinds of posts? it's been a few years since I've followed bbf etiquette closely enough.

Everyone: we need to address CORRUPT HILLARY'S emails. She could never win in New Hampshire.

Low energy! SAD!

Go on, tell us more about Mueller's investigation and what information he doesn't have.

I also want to quote this because it seems insightful to me:

The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them… To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just as long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies—all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth.

dont you mean kakistocracy

Association with the trump administration is already some kind of stain, without a doubt. "Your Sessions has ended" is obviously going to be low hanging fruit. I'd like to not think about a farewell if Mueller or Murkowski turn up dead of "mysterious causes". Shouty Coked Out MOOCH is an unbelievable caricature of a caricature of a caricature. I suppose Melania is staring at the TV at MRS MOOCH longingly before sobbing uncontrollably for hours on end. What a time to be alive in the internet age.
