The haunted Victorian pencil is the son of the man who quite literally wrote the book on disaster capitalism.

It’s funny because it bounced off his butt.

I’m aware of the hand waving, whataboutism and apology tours that exists in these “complicated” relationships. It doesn’t make it any better. I certainly wouldn’t accept the sympathy and grief counseling of the Westboro Baptist church. Anyway, I think we’ve reached the point of repeating ourselves.

Agreed. If Farrakhan and his band of merry idiots had a race with the Klan to who hated jews and gays more, it'd be a tie. Bigotry applies to the whole Rainbow of skin color. 

Honestly man, what’s so complicated about “don’t go hanging being around bigots”? Pretty simple concept for most of us. I don’t hang out with the kkk because I don’t want to be associated with that kind of people. Same concept applies to Farrakhan. 

The denial and whataboutism is ASTOUNDING. No one wants to admit they were wrong because who the fuck knows or blah blah double standards. The diefication makes people forgive a multitude of sins. Then the Bernie campaign hires Sarsour? HEAD, DESK. FACE, PALM 

I’m not the one associating myself with a known anti Semitic bigot but I guess pointing that out makes me a moron. 

Agree. It shouldn’t be hard for the left to be against Bigotry period. Regardless of the source. Not to mention that Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam are NOT feminist; so why would the women’s march organizers praise them when the whole point is to support feminism and feminist ideals. I’m glad they stepped down.

I think it’s the enjoyment of watching a fellow who is well spoken, intelligent, and gifted with both a sense of humor and wit, having the platform and the wherewithal to use it in defense of not only Parliamentary norms but democratic norms too. As an American, I wish Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi had both the…

(In part, I’m sure, because being a white celebrity comes with a stronger pair of rose-colored glasses, nothing we haven’t heard before.)

Two postage stamps on the envelope of Europe.

Exactly. There are two truisms that political pundits love to throw around, without exactly adhering to in their thinking. First, you go into an election with the electorate you have, not necessarily the electorate you want. Second, Republicans fall in line; Democrats fall in love.

This is kind of a strawman argument. Hound the shit out of Biden about his policies, history, and whether we need another old white dude as president. Demand more liberal policies. All of that is what a primary is for. But do it in a way that does not attack/infer that the reason he sucks is because his mind is…

Hasn’t been for years, I’m afraid.

He should try Alabama

Sources told the BBC that Johnson had tried to get the conference moved somewhere friendlier to him, to no avail.

This is why Trump doesn’t venture out past his resort properties and Klan rallies.

Got no problem with people becoming a billionaire, just pay your fair share of taxes back into the system that helped you become one. 

Thank you.

Building nuclear power plants is a monumentally stupid endeavor that will lead to more wholly predictable and totally avoidable nuclear catastrophes. Looks like Big Carl is helping to build an idiotic nuclear plant in area that can flood. That is extra special stupid.
