I must have heard that more times than I can remember after Trump won the GOP primary in 2016.

That’s my go-to.

I think that’s certainly a viable rejoinder to a young person aping that narrative out of ignorance—a sort of a Socratic dismantling of the lie. But there’s no point in arguing with the racist asshat that capes for this argument. That person can only be derided, ignored, or fought and defeated.

All but one of the seceding states signed articles of confederation claiming the rights of whites to own black slaves.

“According to a report by the Southern Poverty Law Center, nine out of 10 high school seniors either incorrectly identified or openly admitted they weren’t sure of what caused the Civil War. Two-thirds (68 percent) of high school seniors don’t know that it took a constitutional amendment to formally end slavery.”

It’s totalitarian, cut-and-dried.

its weird just like the pledge of allegiance is weird. i hate all that forced patriotism stuff, just creeps me out. 

How very [insert dystopian novel] of her.

“While I strongly disagree with the notions that sustainable weight loss is not possible (I myself am proof it is)...”

A great article as always!

It is illegal to publicly display a Nazi swastika in Germany. We successfully de-Nazified West Germany after WWII. Most of the present right-wing, neo-Nazi activity is in Eastern Germany, a Soviet satellite prior to German reunification. They still can’t fly their evil little flags.

So, umm, I guess the book confirms what those of us who read TheRoot already know, right? Except for the details, what’s new?

The fact that this article is behind a paywall is part of the problem. No Washington Post Democracy won’t die in darkness it will die behind a fucking paywall. You, The Boston Globe, NY Times & other outlets that people need to be reading should not be charging a fee to read these articles. There is a reason this…

The excerpt from this book that was published in The Washington Post this morning is enough to make you want to beat the ever loving shit out of anyone, male or female, that you see or hear defending this crass, stupid, proudly ignorant buffoon. The fact that the man selected by white folks to lead this country is so…

Don’t forget: the J is for Genius!

Well somebody doesn’t know what disingenuous means...

“Voting is a privilege that should not be taken lightly, and I am obligated to faithfully implement Amendment 4 as it is defined,”

I say we go with a blanket statement that if you are an adult public safety worker, if you are still “playing a popular game among teenagers called the circle game”, then you are automatically disqualified from keeping your public safety job.

This video was powerful.
