Too little too late...what a joke.

Progressives were attacked relentlessly by shxtlibs for the past decade for making this very same argument. Well, looks like the Times now wants to preserve their right to report nat sec secrets:

Absurd Trump judge special master thrown out. So much winning.

Tony Evers outperformed Mandela Barnes in every Wisconsin county
Evers even bested Barnes in his stronghold of Milwaukee, where he grew up.

Candidate quality is just about everything, Barnes was a bad candidate confirmed.

Never should have happened in the first place. Still, nice to see the system working.

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

Ironic that that's from Twitter. :D I'm going to make an effort to not click on tweets anymore.

conservatives on the board are really just going to pretend like Trump didn't just say that the constitution is bs, and casually post about how to restructure Kuzma's contract, huh?

Anybody else catch Rachel last night? She covered this story about attacks, as yet unsolved,
on grid substations. There was one in CA at or about the time (2013) of the Boston marathon bombing
that was never solved. Within the last few days there was another one in Moore Co NC.
Several tens of thousands of people are without power and it probably won't be restored
for several days at least.



What makes the current NC incident particularly concerning or maybe just a bizarre coincidence
is the conjunction in timing with gay/drag events locally. These events were certainly noticed by
right wing militia types who showed up, in many cases armed, to protest. In any case, it's pretty
unsettling to realize how close to a 3rd world or worse living situation we potentially are.
Maybe that is the point the instigators are trying to make.

In any case, this obviously doesn't seem like an Antifa attack. The responsible people,
whatever their motivations, aren't likely to garner much sympathy for their cause.

what's troubling about it is that it was a terrorist act that the press is somehow calling "vandalism"

What antifa does is vandalism. Murdering old people with cold by cutting their power is terrorism

It's hard to imagine these terrorists are winning friends and influencing people positively.
Anybody with a lick of sense knows it ain't vandalism.

“Jews should work for Christians. I’ll hire a Jewish person in a second if I knew they weren’t a spy and I could look through their phone and follow through their house and have a camera all in their living room.”

When asked if he has chosen a running mate, West says he considered Candace Owens (who wore a matching “White Lives Matter” shirt at the show) but that he has a problem with Ben Shapiro who is “in control of Candace Owens’ voice.” Owens is a talk show host on the Daily Wire, which Shapiro co-founded.

“Jewish people can’t tell me who I can love and who I can’t love,” he continues. “You can’t say, you can’t force your pain on everyone else. Jewish people, forgive Hitler today.”


1) Ye firmly believes that Jews, when in their rightful place, are second class citizens
2) Ye casually implies that Ben Shapiro to be part of the Jewish elite controlling media, which is just amazing, but held back from outright accusing Shapiro because Ye's only avenue of publication is through right wing media and elaborating on this inconsistency threatens the entire hypocritical ecosystem
3) Ye wants Jewish people to forgive Hitler

and not to mention a bunch of very sexist things that he also touched on in this interview with... ::checks notes:: the founder of the Proud Boys.

In a sane country, this is how McCarthy, McConnell and all those Republican traitors should be treated. This should be disqualifying.
