I am on the way to London, myself. Our flight was cancelled last night and they bumped me to this evening so although everything is smooth I have lost a day.

Holy shit that is horrible. Thank you for posting it. It should not be forgotten even after Cuomo loses.

Good point.

this would affect me, potentially, and I’m still all for it. We just can’t not tax millionaires.

I am Jewish so I’ll say that the party didn’t ”fuck him out of the primary” and the party is not “making him shill in defense of Nazism.” Bernie is a fucking independent and runs his mouth that way for his own goals.

Yes, I am starting to not be able to read/rely on anything that I don’t already know is written by a human being. And, honestly, Ican’t know that. Online articles? No. Genre books? No.

i definitely saw this movie (30) years ago. Sweet southern Hick comes to the big city and impresses the girl with his carpentry and plumbing skills. In fact he was stalking her and the film could have been a horror film but they played it as a romance.

No but they are a support, a guide, a person who I need to be able to trust. People get tested and show their mettle. It’s even in Tolkein, for fuck’s sake.

Yeah: why shouldn’t there be purity tests? If I buy milk you should be damned sure I want it to be tested for purity. Why would I want different from a politician who is going to take my money and represent me?

Vote blue no matter who doesn’t apply to primaries, obviously. So that is a weird thing to say. As for Fetterman—the lesson there is that he should have been better primaried and vetted just as platner has been. When he was running he was the better alternative compared to the republican.

Yes, when you put it that way, it does seem somewhat problematic. Can’t you be nicer about it? Like maybe smile more?

Do you think she is real?

I think a lot of these white guys feel the same about the nazi symbols as they do about various racial slurs—its not that they necessarily want to use them (though they do) but they can’t stand to be told that there are limits to their power to say or display racist imagery. Pathological privilige.

Thanks to you I’m rereading MD right now.

Insincere about his present views? Uh….If I were running against a party that is infested with Nazis I think, if I weren’t an edge lord who secretely admires Nazis *to this day* then I would have long since removed the tats. That he didn’t means he wasn’t really apologetic.
