I was astonished when I moved from New England to Virginia and discovered that there are people who aren’t aware that the Civil War ended in 1865.  They’re still fighting it.  They’re also racist jackasses, and that’s why they can’t give it up.

We also had the Civil War, yet Trump supporters were still wearing Camp Auschwitz shirts and carrying Confederate flags in the Capitol on 1/6. This is who Republicans are, and more and more of them are abandoning any pretense otherwise.

Laura Ingraham at the 2016 Republican National Convention...

I was initially on the “awkward wave” team. But after watching the video, I can’t really see what else it is. And his laughing reaction afterwards strikes me very much as a 15 year old laughing that he just gave a Nazi salute on the podium and that someone else thought it was hilarious.

Yeah... I don’t know anyone who waves or gives a “nod to their team, friends or family member” with that type of gesture.

It would be a shame if that was the end of his career at 15.

for people who have paid it off or never had it to begin with, it won’t sit well.

This dude is emblematic of the modern GOP: either irredeemably stupid, or disingenuous and evil, and honestly, the distinction at this point is unimportant.

I know his perspective is rooted in hatred, not ignorance, but it’s probably worth pointing out that the perfect correlation Cawthorn seems to assume exists between chromosomes and genitals just isn’t there. Intersex people are real. Not everyone has XX or XY chromosomes. And not every person with XX chromosomes has a…

What’s worse is that now I recognize that Palin-style candidates are the norm for the GOP - ignorant, unstable, and dangerous - and that Democratic leadership is incapable of the bare-knuckle, back alley politics it’s going to take to drive these people out of office.

You know, once upon a time I felt like Sarah Palin was the bottom of the barrel, and how spectacularly she flamed out at the national level would convince the GOP that they were headed down a path of electoral irrelevance if they kept putting stupid people in positions of power.

I’m not opposed to plastic surgery. I’ve had a little done myself.

Congratulations on having no comprehension of what I wrote, go fuck yourself and your own shit take.

This is going to be a White and Gold v Blue and Black cultural moment. The problem is these people know each other well enough to have avoided this. Chris Rock ought to know by now she is not choosing to rock the GI Jane look. Will Smith knows Chris Rock well enough to make his displeasure known in strong terms later.…

This shit is already getting over-analyzed, but don’t read too much into Smith laughing before he isn’t ... cameras are on, these are TV people ... he probably had a pleasant grin locked and loaded before the actual indignation caught up with him. I’d allow him his “Ha ha, wait a minute ... WTF?” moment. What came…

“He laughed too...”

It wasn’t just that Rock made a joke about his wife’s medical condition, it’s that he made it *directly to her face.*

Yeah it wasn’t the right action but I can’t say that I might not do the same if someone was mocking my loved one’s medical condition.

Insert joke here about Rock punching down at someone with a medical condition and Smith showing him how to punch up.
