Big night for Nigel Farage, and honestly people in other countries much more extreme than him. If Trump has any idea about global politics he must be feeling good right now.

She's not being dumb. This is what they're gonna be pushing from now until election day.

Sadly, half the country will believe it. Including a number of posters on here.

This is how dictators rule. Proclaim that their opponents are traitors, then gin up charges and prosecution against them. This is what Barr's cherry-picked declassifications are for. Anyone who supports this sort of thing is anti-democracy, just a matter of fact.

I didn't say she is BEING dumb I said she IS dumb. It takes intelligence to pretend to be that stupid

Better chance you post something coherent than Trump understands global politics...

I hope you are getting excited for war!

That made me laugh. Not as good as the people ripping them (especially People of Color) over the Hope Hicks article...but still funny Maybe Kushner should become one of Maggie Haberman's sources so he can get the Glamour Shot treatment. worked for Hope Hicks...and Haberman defended Sanders against the sexist attacks of Michelle Wolfe for the same reason.

Ok off topic...but with this latest twitter update I cant seem to figure out how to take the picture out of the tweet. Used to be a box to unclick but now everything looks different.

Remember when republicans supported impeachment for those who ignored subpoenas?

Yeah, but Graham has a defense for that.

"Well, there’s two things here," Graham said. "The Mueller investigation was a special counsel appointed to find out if the president committed a crime, if he colluded with the Russians, if he obstructed justice. The president gave 1.4 million documents to [special counsel Robert] Muller. Everybody around the president was allowed to testify. He never claimed executive privilege. He complied, no cover-up, worked with Mueller. Mueller’s the final word on this for me."

"So if Clinton had stiffed Ken Starr, that’s different," Graham continued. "What [House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold] Nadler [D-N.Y.] is doing is trying to destroy the president and his family. If I were the president, I would fight back against this political revenge coming out of the House.”

Amazing how much of Trump he can get in his mouth at the same time, isn't it?

Especially amazing given how little trump has to put there.

In another moment of "my god how far we've fallen," there is a photo of Sasha Obama going to the prom making the rounds. She's perfectly cromulent (basically a younger Michelle). The nice young man looks absolutely terror-stricken.

As well he should be.

Remember, we're just hysterical.

While protesting Black Lives Matter activists and the FBI’s “black identity extremists” remain popular bogeymen in the eyes of law-and-order conservatives, a man in Alabama recently reminded us once again that, in fact, the most lethal threat to police lives from a radical terrorist element in the United States comes from the white far right.

Three police officers were shot, one of them fatally, when they responded to a domestic disturbance call in Auburn on Sunday night. The man arrested shortly afterward, it soon emerged—Grady Wayne Wilkes, 29, a veteran from Auburn—was fond of posting memes from the alt-right online gathering spot 4chan, most of them mock humor about guns, white nationalist trolling signals, and encouragement for Proud Boys-style violence against left-wing protesters, who he described as “leftist scum.”

He has the Secret Service to deal with. How many get driven to the prom in a black Yukon?

I knew of a few. But most of those black Yukon's (or the similar Chevy Suburban) had rust spots and was a decade old and most definitely not the newest model with armor plating.

With Trump's attacks on LGBT:

Last week, I submitted a 5 page Social Problem Analysis on LGBT suicide. While I was not able to uncover the suicide rate in colonial times, I did learn that Puritans sentenced LGBT to death for religious reasons. Actual death sentences fell out of favor after the Revolutionary War... but the truth is, Puritans and Republicans (ALL OF THEM) are still sentencing us to die. After all, if I suffer a life-threatening emergency and a doctor wants his religious liberty... they're going to leave me to die.

How "pro-life" of them.

Trump plans on making it easier for adoption agencies to reject same-sex couples from adopting.

Every other part of the First has a "your fist ends at my nose" limit.... how does religion get a pass to hurt?

I have no basis for this, just my opinion, but I think in general, more people are becoming less prejudiced, but the ones who have remained prejudiced are beyond more vocal in their views, so it seems like prejudice is more common. Instead of say, 10 people being prejudiced and kind of muttering, we now have 7 people who have changed, and 3 armed with every bullhorn on the planet, you know?

That is probably a significant role here.

I just think back to listening to Coast to Coast AM (Art Bell) for a short period in the late 90's/early 2000's. (yea, I was a 13-16 year old billy badass who thought that crap was legitimate/cool ). The show aired Midnight-4am here in Chicago, so now you had to listen during that period to get a sample of what was being served. Even then I realized it was batchit crazy. But part of the appeal was that it was only available during the wee hours of the night.

Now, you can find that kind of garbage 24/7 365 at your convenience through podcasts/Sattelite radio/YouTube/ect... Just by being out there, It gets seen by more people. And even if you are on the opposite side of the argument, you probably still step in it as you scan through your own genres of stuff. We're just in a time where it's always Open Mike Night and you'll always have to listen to "That Guy" despite having showed up for your buddy, who is the exact opposite kind of act....
