“Liberals who call Republicans Nazis are inciting terrorism and should be arrested. Conservatives calling themselves Nazi are just a symptom of economic anxiety and feelings of abandonment by the Hollywood elite - we shouldn’t read too much into it.”

No, no. Someone broke into all their text messages, their offices and their daily conversations and put a bunch of Nazi things… probably Soros.

Please MAGA, our hospitals are overwhelmed, just stay the fuck away when you get sick. You don’t want us experts treating you. Go buy supplements from a grifter instead.

Day 20. Well, it was a good week while it lasted. This morning we get @npr.org calling the war crime of murdering random civilians “pressure on Venezuelan drug trade.” This type of framing is basically actively helping them commit war crimes.

Fail. 6 for 20.

“Escalates pressure“ = murders
“Drug trade” = random fisherman that no one has identified, no one has attempted to anrrest and is in no way a threat to the US.

Come on @npr.org - you can’t soft peddle war crimes like this.

Yeah, they need to nip this shit in the bud. Europe isn’t immune to the insanity that has taken hold in the US.

Democrats can’t let this go. Even conservatives don’t like losing healthcare so a foreign fascist gets free money. You need endless ads about this. Hold town halls in borderline red districts about the shutdown and bring this up.

Thanks for finally reporting on how bigotry is the central pillar of the Republican Party. The rest of the party is no different than these “young” Republicans.

Ha. Same here. The other explanation is so implausible, I didn’t even think of it. WTF? The media is going to just accept it, aren’t they.

So their arguing that.....someone must have broken into their offices, went to a lowly staffers cubicle, and surreptitiously snuck a swastika-flag on his wall?

This is the type of nonstop dumbfuckery that is radicalizing.....

Trump will arrest half the players and turn those cities into war zones, but FIFA likes brutal, inhumane dictatorships, so there is no chance they’ll move the World Cup elsewhere, no matter how bad it gets.

It wasn’t about rising prices. It was about getting bigots to tell themselves they were voting to lower prices instead their true reason.

He says fucked up things all the time himself, so it wouldn’t really do much. I’d intelligently discuss the importance of anti racism, express support for trans kids and vow to fight Nazis in all their forms.

That is the only way these guys would lose their jobs.

The question is, like with Charlie Kirk’s death, is the media going to take the cue from the far right and gaslight America?

Current Supreme Court Situation:
- The Constitution says it is legal to use race to discriminate.
- The Constitution says it is illegal to use race to prevent discrimination.
- Racism does not exist.
