“Goons” is way too soft. It’s a quaint, old-timey term that almost sounds affectionate - like they’re a bunch of cartoon mobsters chasing Batman.

Anyone who knows the history of the Pinkertons knows that “goons” is a valid description.

You don’t see a problem with sending goons over to some dude’s house over a bunch of fucking playing cards??? That’s fascist intimidation tactics.

That he didn’t do anything illegal seems to be lost on a few people here.

I see a few comments here about this YouTuber committing a crime and he very much did not. Buy something before a street date is not a crime. It’s breach of contract from the seller but that is a civil matter.

Yeah I don’t see why this is up for debate, lol. We see the same thing happen with warrentless police officers, all the time. They’re scary, the public doesn’t have a clear understanding of where they’re rights begin and end-

So they let them in assuming they already had the authority to come in already.

Sounds like the pinkertons escalated what should have just been a routine investigation

Rent-a-cops nothing, Pinkertons are mercenaries. They’re hired to kill people

You’re right that it’s not exactly clear, but I’m pretty sure you just answered your own question there,they’re probably large, intimidating, armed men, shouting about jail time and gigantic fines, holding some kind of piece of paper they claim gives them access” and his wife answered the door likely sans large,

They're talking about someone from WotC being polite and apologetic, not the Pinkerton agent.

Yet another case of “not sorry we did it, just sorry we got caught.”

No he did not hold his own. Stop giving this uneducated, ignorant boot licker the benefit of the doubt. So he didn’t fall over on the way to the stage, good for him. The only thing this moron did was create memes that will live on forever and force SNL to rewrite the cold open. 

“But at least Oz has a heart, right”

This. 

He’s not wrong biologically speaking, which is why 2nd cousins can legally marry in all 50 states. At that level, problematic recessive traits getting excessively reinforced typically only become a problem over several generations in a small population (a very small town, or perhaps early-modern European royalty)

It’s funny.  When he first announced this run, I genuinely feared that his celebrity would give him the win.  Then he campaigned.

Abortion bans are absolutely partly based on the fear that white people are not out-birthing nonwhite people. A hundred years ago, it was stated explicitly. She just forgot to hide it behind a dogwhistle.

I wish...

Umm....we all know exactly who she is, she’s a racist.  She fucking quoted Hitler before this quote, we knew who this woman was before this quote.  Why are we acting surprised?
