Pence, NFL, Trump vs. Bob Corker, Puerto Rico: A Closer Look
Noooo. Fake news. Pretending Pence and Trump lied about orchestrating a publicity stunt, posting faked posts and prepared live tweets, and spending millions of taxpayer dollars to pull it off (secret service had to search everyone there and the stadium for one) just to throw shade at black athletes. No. There's no way they are blatant racist liars and frauds. No way. Fake.

VICE covers Charlottesville. Excellent
Dunno.
I think of Megan Phelps-Roper, once prominent member of WBC, now "reformed". She was the sort of "Social Media Manager" for the WBC. She used twitter to further spread their message but, ofc, the world of twitter stares also into you. She began to engage in a sort of dialogue with those that responded to her hate filled tweets and over time the WBC grip on her was chipped away. In the end I think she actually married one of those that engaged with her on twitter. Cool Story. Bro.
Anyhoo. So it can be done but it doesn't happen on the picket line or in protests. I mean, with some of these people you can't even agree on the definition of "human"... I really strongly doubt the value of allowing such groups to have a voice for the sake of having an opportunity to denounce (ostracise?) them further. It takes carefully considered, long term, personal debate.
My feeling is that his is happening not because we have suppressed such ideas for too long and now they are boiling over...they are boiling over because where once discontented individuals were alone with their prejudices and fears now they can find in minutes a group online to agree with. The suppression of these fringe ideologies wasn't the cause, the cause is that the internet seems to have rendered such suppression ineffectual. How we now challenge these festering online dens I'm not sure...
Also, and I hate to go all reducto ad hitlerum here but if there was ever a time, discussing neo-nazis must surely be it.... Hitler spoke and spoke and spoke and his bad ideas didn't fall into the shitter fast enough to save the lives of all the millions of Jews and those that fought against them.
the alt right are a vile,vulgar and grotesque display of racist ignorance all gussied up as "patriots",as "white nationalists" whose only concern is the safety and prosperity of america.
pffffft../fart noise.
so would you PLEASE for the love of fucking CHRIST allow these nimrods to hold their little rallies,their little marches.let them speak and speak and speak.....
because,like anything..bad ideas have a way of falling into the shitter when those ideas are shoved into the open.
there is a REASON why we haven't heard from these shitbags for almost 35 years,and it ain't because somebody threw a punch,sprayed some mace,or drowned out their voice.
it is simply because we gave them a mic.
that's it..we let them talk,let them march,let them hand out their literature.
this ain't rocket science people.

The micro text to McCain's down vote of the ACA repeal
I was certain it would be the lead 'cheeto in chief' tweet of the next early morn ...
Anybody else think the Republicans are going to fight this, claiming his brain cancer makes him ineligible to vote, so his vote doesn't count?
I'm certain some of them will make that claim publicly, I just wonder if they'll claim it on the Senate floor.

Fair enough, but the problem in this case is the president alone. He's stirring up opposition to the bill and the party with his tweets.
Republicans can say that the ACA was written behind closed doors and pushed through all they want, but the truth is that Obama had much to do with its passing by promoting it and talking specifics. https://www.c-span.org/video/?292260-1/white-house-health-care-summit-part-1
Obama wasn't a president that simply repeated "it's a great bill, the BEST bill" over and over. Now, granted idk why the keep your doctor/plan line was repeated, but if you have a plan that doesn't let you go to the doctor, or a hospital, or get an ambulance, can you really call it health care anymore ?
At some point they had to define what health care was to be able to assign a legal consequence.
In summation, Obama helped the ACA along with speeches and conferences and open debates where he talked actual policy.
Trump is hurting his chances of passing anything by speaking only in vagaries and insults.
Agreed more was passed. It should be noted that under Obama the Democrats had more Democrats so getting to the 50 vote was much easy.

"Trump has no desire and no capacity to lead the world'
Soooo let me get this straight even though I am by no means a fan of Trump but have watched with shock the depths to where the Clinton Obama media will sink to attack him.....just what good would a statement on the obvious North Korean problem do?
Put pressure on China and North Korea as Trump is already saying and doing?
Does this guy ever actually "listen" to Trump or does he just tow the line and ignore everything Trump has said that is correct and only worry about Trumps tweets like the rest of the media?
A statement would be nothing but grandstanding and utterly useless in accomplishing anything.
I guess when you are a reporter you think words are the ultimate
power but sometimes they are only spouting off at the mouth.

Meanwhile, the Declaration of Independence is now apparently biased against Trump.
Jesus, America... get your shit together. Your founding fathers would be embarrassed.
