According to the article, it was painted pink by protesters. So of course i had to google it:

Fort Pillow. It should be as famous as Gettysburg, where Lee, while retreating, kidnapped free people to sell into slavery in the confederate states.

The 1930s was pretty much the same thing. Look for another HUAC coming to a government near you.

The Red Scare women are avowed big fans of Camille Paglia

And I am sure that there were 500 artists blocking my slightly inebrieted Elton John karaoke cover from being number one some time ago. 

Unfortunately, there are too many LEOs who see this behavior exactlt as a role model.

A good reason to learn Spanish is Univision’s coverage of all WC matches. It is pretty good.

Soledad O’Brien is good at keeping the rest of the press accountable. As for that library clip - ugh - Todd is practically spoon feeding Trump his answers. As always, Rooo, you have the evidence. Actually, it has been so long since I watched a Sunday show (they have developed the same problem as the WH press corps…

If you can find it, have a look at Splinter in the Mind’s Eye. This was the first book after Star Wars that was intended as a low budget sequel if the first film did not pan out. Luke and Leia are definitely not related in this version - very horny.

The conditions of the migrants in these camps is, unfortunately, part of a larger pattern of camps being set up by wealthier nations to address the mass migrations from poorer nations. The conditions in US camps are only marginally better (an many times not) than camps across parts if Europe, China, India, Bangladesh,…

I think the larger issue here is that corporations want to be on all sides of everything, except for bills that directly affect their interests. I imagine they give money to incumbents more than challengers, and would expect shifts in funding to reflect that.

I agree. I am not down with the death penalty, because it says more about us than the recipient. This man is a murderer with no apparent remorse. He does not care about his actions. I am not him, and do not want the state reflecting what we are punishing him for. But yes, placing him in prison for life. Yes.

I missed that. Now i am going to google it.

The big problem with that is that he is even more likely to be swayed by whoever his is listening to or watching at the moment. And Bolton, Pompeo, and Hill seem to want to keep him close to them. At some point, I can imagine them isolating him to keep their power. That would be even more frightening.

There are millions of mentally ill people in the world who are not virulent racists, much less racist murdrers. Just stop.

Right? Even that old racist Henry Ford understood that higher wages lead to a better economy and higher demand overall. Most CEOs are just about making as much money as they can for themselves and comparing numbers in the Forbes 500 lists.

Business helped Trump out a lot. Remember that for Obama’s second term, those greedy mf’s were giving all kinds of excuses for not spending any of the record cash reserves they were sitting on. They just sat there and whined about the “unpredictability” of the future economy because Obama was serious about policies…

Slow your roll. Trump is running the economy like a firework - a big firey beginning, shooting a lot of light and heat. But at the end of this, there will be a smoking, charred husk left behind.

Chuck Todd is the epitome of the milquetoast, mediocre white men fawning over a bully, racist, and congenital liar.

Stephen, I would love to see you do a recap of a Sunday interview each week, if that were possible. Just one. Any of the “news” shows, any network. This was great.
