Quite alarming, but goes to show that regulation isn’t a bad thing.

Bobby Walker, former vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans, has apparently deleted his Twitter account.

Politico’s story reported that Walker referred to rape as “epic,” used slurs, and participated in a thread about sending opponents to the gas chamber.

My colleagues? Again, strawman much? You presume an awful lot.

If said hypothetical black lady said that her getting worse healthcare due to her race was the exact same as the Holocaust, yeah I think I’d tell her that I’m on her side- but that she’s absolutely wrong with her hyperbolic statement.

Absolutely this, and those calling for a civil war are often preying on the notion that they will win, since they think that there are far more crazies than there are, amplified by the media.

One thing folks seem to forget (if they knew) is White Nationalists think, truly think, MOST white people are just like them but are too scared to step up.

They are relentlessly baffled and frustrated when their "flashpoint" moments fail to ignite that civil war.

Because they are stupid and evil.

In no way trying to be the devils advocate here, but there’s absolutely an issue with young men. Toxic masculinity in culture hurts us all.

We need strong male role models to stop having lonely kids think women are the issue and falling in with MAGA chuds as a coping mechanism.

So many strawmen.

I’m with you on making. It’s just a ridiculous assertion that YOUR needs supersede everyone else’s, and that you are it’s as simple as overt FASCISM.

You know it’s ridiculous, and it weakens your argument to pretend they are even remotely similar.

The next rally-goer that I see getting their head caved in by ICE, I’ll be sure to point out to them that at least the guy’s wearing a mask.

It’s fair that you are mad, but again with personal beliefs aside:

Not masking (a shitty choice but a personal selfish choice) is NOT equivalent to the brutish fascism.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

David R. Brockman, a Christian theologian at Rice University, said he believed the lesson "amounts to Bible study in a public school curriculum."
"Mr. Brockman said he worried that the state’s adaptation would send an implicit message to children 'that Christianity is the only important religion."

WTF do you know?
My wife is immunocompromised.
I still mask.

I’m just pointing out that it is NOT equal to being a fascist, you give them FAR too much credit there.

Talk about privilege!
