Which is from Missoula, Montana. I rather liked it until beer started giving me migraines, and no beer is worth a migraine.

I always liked how the Bundy Ranch standoff ended, someone started a rumor that a Predator drone had been dispatched and they scattered like rabbits.

Most people don't realize that the first people in Dachau were union organizers and communists, then gays and "mental defectives". The Jews and Roma came later.

He shares their hatreds, or pretends to, and if all you have is hatred, that's all that matters.

Yeah - Hilter was an excellent orator, and Reagan was charming to a degree. Trump is none of those things yet here we are.

Only thing I can think of is that Trump made it okay for people to say the quiet parts out loud because no one in a position of authority pushed back or laughed him off the stage.

Eugenics is not just about killing. Its also pairing the 'right' people together to create a better outcome. Its also sterilizing, making interracial couples illegal, and so on. No killing needs to be involved.

I saw the video too, and thought she hammered at her point a little too hard, but I did like that she said she didn't think the filmmakers were actually pro-eugenics, but the film can be read that way due to some of the choices they made in the film.

This is the same issue that say American History X, or 'Tomorrow Belongs to Me' from Cabaret has with being apropriated by White Supremacists.

“Victory or Death”.Well, it wasn’t a victory, so time for the alternative?

Unfortunately the "free staters" have fucked up New Hampshire beyond recovery, using the fact that there's hundreds of House members from small towns. They got their asshole lolbertarians into office, and have turned it from Greater Boston to North Alabama in less than ten years.

They just passed a law mandating ivermectin be sold over the counter, they had free stater politicians on their executive council screaming that there were tentacled creatures in the vaccines, their education commissioner is a trump-loving NRA-cultist conspiracy theorist and white supremacist who pushed a "teacher loyalty act", they just killed MBTA Commuter Rail that was the last hope of attracting Boston tech money to the crumbling, dirty cities like Nashua and Manchester, and their roads and infrastructure are falling apart because they keep cutting budgets and giving money to fellow lolbertarian cronies.

Massachusetts schools and gatherings are in danger, the next mass shooter there will buy their assault weapons and magazines in New Hampshire, or as I call it now, New Hampshit, drive five minutes over the border and have at it.

Bad takes are bad takes, and bad people will stupidly misuse something even if it runs counter to their argument. See also why we aren't canceling The Village People because Trump moronically used YMCA for some rallies. And my ultimate rebuttal to that vapid video is that she made it after knowing that people have been eating Tide pods, eating horse dewormer to stop the rona, and some actually drank bleach as well to say nothing of the epidemic of stupidity around mask usage among other things. I can fully see a political party making Gatoraid the official drink of our crops for utterly partisan and political reasons.

OT, but please explain Enrique Tarrio. A well-documented and prolific FBI informant who happens to be non-white is in charge of a bunch of white supremacists? I do understand the Miami/Cuban/Right Wing connection, but WTF?

Late that day, he lied about the Patriot Front arrests, claiming on the Facebook page of far-right "Redoubt Radio" that police had "thwarted" an "ambush from antifa." Happily, virtually no one appears to have believed him, as the story hasn't even gotten any traction in rightwing circles.

We've found something so stupid that these assclowns don't believe it?

UNPOSSIBLE!

I'd post pictures of my straight white family happily waving flags at pride to annoy far wrong aholes, but you know, far wrong aholes.
