In hindsight, It would appear that the Norwegian mass shooter was only a harbinger.

I am guilty of thinking it was a big joke. And honestly, when Walker dropped out I was really relieved (still am, kind of?). I supported Sanders until Clinton won, and then figured she had this in the bag. As the summer and autumn escalated, I started to feel more and more scared, and rallied behind Clinton hard.…

He didn’t have to parrot the European far-right. We have it here. He paid people to look into issues the US far-right talked about the most. Breitbart, Alex Jones, Stormfront...That’s how he wound up expounding so, um, eloquently on immigration and Obamacare in the first speech.

I think, perhaps, you are overestimating people again.

Which is great and all, but shouldn’t the director, and the actor hired to do this international exposure, kind of at least acknowledge it?

Yes, glass houses. Seriously fragile, fragile glass houses, dear American friend whose country has elected a crazy populist as their leader who plans to let outspoken nazis be part of his cabinet.

UGH all of the burqa ban apologists here! Look, you’re not gonna change anyone’s religious beliefs with a law. Ever. This is not how you sway hearts and minds. Oh, but it’s to stick up for those women who are being oppressed by their burqa? What if those women are no longer permitted to leave the house because of…

Some dumbfuck at my then-workplace had posted some flyer about “boycott France.” I was tempted to show up to work in a striped French sailor shirt and beret, with a baguette and a wheel of Camembert in a string bag, singing the Marseillaise (way off key, cuz I can’t sing) at the top of my lungs. Being a francophile…

I remember thinking “this is as crazy as it gets” there’s not much I wouldn’t do to go back to the days of Ashcroft covering Lady Justice’s tittay and freedom fries.

Olney’s victory has really given me strength over the last day or so. It’s a small thing, but we desperately need passionate voices getting to the root of these things. I’m hoping the present situation brings the rise of a lot of new voices.

Trump tainted a 40 year institution by hosting 1 show. And he’s about to taint a 240 year one for the next 4 years.

Thanks. I’ll also add the NY Times article I just found. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/02/sports/football/suspect-in-killing-of-joe-mcknight-former-jets-player-is-freed-without-charge.html?_r=0

Stop trying to make “alt-left” happen, it’s never going to happen

Kinja is so 2016...

I’ve noticed a ton of commercials with mixed families, gay couples, etc. It’s great but sad because it’s so noticeable as being new! and different! Not to mention dumbass backlash like the Cheerios commercial.

I don’t see it as a defense of him, rather it’s an acknowledgedment that the claims that he is personally antisemitic are weak but that it doesn’t really matter anyway since he’s “the chief curator for the alt-right” and is therefore unacceptable.

The first of many things we have Trump to thank for. TV execs, the spineless antrhopomophized suits that they are, will now try to make programming to appeal to the white middle class bigots that put someone like Trump in office. Nevermind the fact television is inundated with this kind of white bread programming (The…

The ADL has a long history of supporting anyone who supports Israel, and criticizing anyone who wavers. It tends to color a lot of their outrage.

I`m trying to recommend your post, but apparently when I click on someone`s star I REDUCE their star count rather than increase it?? I don`t want to click again, but I did want to say that I tried to be star #9 but have apparently reduced you to 6 - I’m sorry, ack!

Preach!!! I think it is also fab they went for someone who really loves make up.
