US Politics, June 2018: This is a total goat rodeo.

lmao that profile picture

There are certainly some people whose existence in the discourse make it silly to deny it’s obviously a real thing.

extremism on the right: separating parents from children, fascist fear-mongering, suppressing democracy, looking the other way when nazis attack people
extremism on the left: a social safety net, rolling back an immigration thug organization established under GWB, phasing out fossil fuels

clearly both equally bad, good luck USA

extreme health care for all!

I just mean the type of people who self identify as left wing but complain about SJWs.

Kelly reportedly exiting this summer.

Alas, will still be existing.

shorter max boot: polarization exists, we should probably bomb someone about it

love to just bomb out my feelings

jack boot morelike amirite

"Me:"

starting to feel like the center might not have held gang

I just mean the type of people who self identify as left wing but complain about SJWs.

I believe the blanket term for these people is 'fucking morons' iirc.

professional writers are insane

"I wrote a thing"

"Me"

"my latest"

chill, dude

xpost As in 'that fucking moron doesn't understand the basic definition of the words he's using, what a fucking moron.'

The "14 words" is a white supremacist slogan that goes "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."

New DHS press release is also 14 words, and is titled: "We Must Secure The Border And Build The Wall To Make America Safe Again" https://t.co/1cXGUqlwPq

i mean there are tankies (e.g. doctrinaire "support the Democratic People's Republic of Korea" communists) and anarchists you'll find out there who rail against "SJWs/radlibs" as essentially being liberals masquerading as radicals through their vocabulary

i feel like i'm always seeing those maniacs pop up on random twitter threads but i find it hard to believe there's actually that many of them

at this point I'm giving them no benefit of the doubt on that 14 words thing

JD i tend to think they're small and fringe in the U.S., where we don't have a strong organized communist history, but that's just not true in the wider world, and it's easy to find people from the global south constantly dunking on western leftists--they, i think, are much greater in number.

the huge rallies on Saturday ought to be interesting, stay safe everyone

wtf at my tortured syntax, sorry

at the risk of turning into QAnon, uh...what the hell??

There are 14 points in the article, and the final point contains the number "88" for no good reason -- 88 is also a Nazi dog whistle for "Heil Hitler". https://t.co/WLT3CEqfUw There is absolutely no doubt now that this article is intentionally a signal to Nazis. pic.twitter.com/njS5MDMNIr

i'm petrified of some panzerwaffen militia group showing up at a mass demonstration tbh. with the amount of guns in this country, seems like the next likely frontier in our slide into 'incivility' and indifference to gun violence

My barber had CNN on when Rosenstein was testifying. Someone needs to shit down Darrell Issa's throat, pronto.

That Rosenstein grilling made my blood boil.

Darrell Issa is going to be gone by November Morbz. Still deserves a good throat-shitting tho

I read that as "throat-slitting" and thought, "Here we go again..."

I'm set to go to one of these on Saturday. A little nervous, but we can't allow ourselves to be cowed, can we?

I was planning on going to the big rally in front of the state house on Saturday but then just got an invite from Movimiento Cosecha to join a civil disobedience later in the day, targeted at one of the local prisons, to protest cooperation between our local law enforcement and ICE. Now I need to perform some sort of impact analysis to decide which one to do.

the latter

agreed, you can always post your Gofundme here and we'll help you pay your fine

absolutely

Thank you. <3

Not nervous at all, taking the kids on Saturday, it's going to be a family outing.

Boston area ilxors interested in the action vs ICE, there’s a training tomorrow eve for it. Pm me for details (or check Cosecha Boston’s fb page).

1. The report is from ABC NEWS and this is very significant for various reasons. Prime reason being: ILLEGALLY FUNNELING MONEY into the Trump campaign. https://t.co/Yn1LMFs3vN

The show seems to be headed to one hell of a sweeps week sometime this summer.

News: @SenGillibrand just told Chris Cuomo she supports abolishing ICE.

my lord what is it with russiagate people and neverending tweet threads

Hey hell yeah CG kick it with Cosecha! What part of the country are you in? I might know some of the folks that'll be there.

huh. over $1bn in loans. what a coincidence

One person who knows both men remarked on the affinity between Mr. Trump and Justice Kennedy, which is not obvious at first glance. Justice Kennedy is bookish and abstract, while Mr. Trump is earthy and direct.

But they had a connection, one Mr. Trump was quick to note in the moments after his first address to Congress in February 2017. As he made his way out of the chamber, Mr. Trump paused to chat with the justice.

“Say hello to your boy,” Mr. Trump said. “Special guy.”

Mr. Trump was apparently referring to Justice Kennedy’s son, Justin. The younger Mr. Kennedy spent more than a decade at Deutsche Bank, eventually rising to become the bank’s global head of real estate capital markets, and he worked closely with Mr. Trump when he was a real estate developer, according to two people with knowledge of his role.

During Mr. Kennedy’s tenure, Deutsche Bank became Mr. Trump’s most important lender, dispensing well over $1 billion in loans to him for the renovation and construction of skyscrapers in New York and Chicago at a time other mainstream banks were wary of doing business with him because of his troubled business history.

About a week before the presidential address, Ivanka Trump had paid a visit to the Supreme Court as a guest of Justice Kennedy. The two had met at a lunch after the inauguration, and Ms. Trump brought along her daughter, Arabella Kushner. Occupying seats reserved for special guests, they saw the justices announce several decisions and hear an oral argument.

Ms. Trump tweeted about the visit and posted a photo. “Arabella & me at the Supreme Court today,” she wrote. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to teach her about the judicial system in our country firsthand.”

Yeah, that story came close to making me wretch.

hey at least it proves that he wasn't only in hock to russia!!!!!

http://www.newsweek.com/2017/12/29/donald-trump-russia-secret-deutsche-bank-753780.html

Mr. Trump is earthy and direct crude and crass.

Fucking Jesus

I was juuuust thinking this morning that there's no way Kennedy made the decision to retire in a vacuum.
