As for Germany: For all the smugness with which many call the US a “failed state” and other things, we are not so much better. After two really gruesome amok shootings in the 00s (Erfurt and Winnenden were the ones with the most victims, but there were more) there was a discussion about gun laws in Germany. The laws…

And I’m really interested how Trump will define “Antifa” as a group to be forbidden. Everybody who didn’t vote for him?

To be honest, there is a certain percentage of the population in almost every Western country that has drifted off into right wing populism with strong roots in right wing extremist thinking. That has happened in Europe too. In two party systems like the US or the UK this has spread into the conservative parties, not…

The one with the thumbs in fist fists? As far as I know that’s on old Italian gesture for “you want to fuck?”. I am worried, too. 

Sure enough he wants to combat “child cancer”, it’s the one threatening his brain. 

The guy in blue to the right looks real sad that someone would disturb this beautiful rally. Now his good mood is gone.

One freckle was brave enough, the others probably fell off.

So, you’re waiting for the meltdown?
Is that a stud in her nose? Do people with studs get invited to Fox?

True. But it fits his tan and his wife’s wedding dress. Or is it the sheen of the photo?

Additionally lots of female GDR athletes would be allowed to compete, especially since state agencies would have no problem attesting “special hormone levels”. There is a reason why testosterone is controlled.

Yeah, I had to laugh, too. Especially if “racism” is something that the blogger “feels” is “racism”. I for example feel that Warren’s dallying around with her supposed 12% Native American “heritage” (or how much it was) is deeply racist. So, with a little luck, the next president will be racist, too. 

Neither would I.

No, of course not. But who is afraid of social revolutionaries that adore bling?

Saw the pilot yesterday and boy, what a gleeful take down of Disney and it’s assorted super hero system. Sure, somebody here at AV Club in fandom alley was going to be pissed, but that’s to be expected (including the claim that it shows violence against women and is therefor “sexist”). Will watch it.

Nothing screams “socialism” like giving your toddler bling north of $100k. That’s why nobody is afraid of the new left.

Purin’s Russia is the blueprint for all right wing populists in the US and Europe, not only because Russia’s funding them. Calling themselves “democracies” (because the have - rigged - votes) but in reality an authoritarian state with an oligarchic structure.

I know I’m alone in this, but this is a good thing. Just image the state of the US when somebody with a brain had taken over the presidency, willing to turn it into an authoritarian state? All major news outlets already bought or sued into submission, the Internet controlled, armed “militias” on the street,…

I can not read the article since it seems to be behind a pay wall (or at least you have to sign in which I won’t do), but the first sentences are already an indication of the things to follow:

Thumbs up from me too!

Her only crime is that her schtick is hardly original, read Twain’s Huck Finn for that.
