they appeal to “the better angels” of the GOP’s nature? Did “cooler heads prevail?” “ANTIFA” hasn’t been in charge of ANY of the Democratic response - they thought they knew better. They shunned and brow beat us. They own everything.

Everyone thinks antifascism is something that started with annoying college students in 2016. They got activated because the writing was on the wall. If the liberal power structure treated the warning signs with the same urgency and earnestness, they could have blunted this - a lot of it wouldn’t

Well, at least this mouth breathing nazi gives credit where credit is due. Better than the usual chuckleheads who are like “yeah but it doesn’t mean that anymore.” No - It’s a straight line, and this is what they warned you about.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Just your daily “school shooter posting” from our edgy, paramilitary gestapo - just patriot things. “Die you average, run of the mill, son of a bitch! Die gas pumper!” - DHS probably.

voices. It’s their job to create a counter narrative, to write laws, to create successful pathways, and processes to legal immigration, and to sell those efforts to the public.

ethical, over what is popular. The whole business of politics involves influencing public opinion. If one side creates a growing narrative that “immigrants are all subhuman rapists who should be deported” it is not the media’s job to “both-sides” obvious racism, or the Democrats job to chase those

It couldn’t possibly be that they “feel that way” because “let’s scare grandpa” has been their business model for decades. Anti-miscegenation laws were also popular until the 70’s. The media has a responsibility to report the truth, and politicians have a responsibility to advocate for what is

laws so that Walmart can post lower “shrink” numbers in their quarterly reports. Who cares about the actual violence imposed upon people, or their residual effects? “Many people feel this way (ie. the bosses of the media feel that way, and they’re cherry picking people who agree with them).”

Well, I guess we can all thank the fucking MSM for blindly going along with all of this vox populi, “if it bleeds it leads,” opinion based reporting on crime, instead of reporting facts and numbers. This was years of police stenography in the making. Manufacturing consent for draconian shoplifting

I made lazy tom yum out of this weird frozen seafood medley, and some instant mix I decided to try. It’s alright, but I think I’ll just use shrimp next time, and it needed some lemon.

Then my friend Jeff Goldblum swung by my apartment dressed like Jughead, but also looking like Adam Friedland he was like “Hey, man... I'll show you how to paint, man.” I said “cool what are we painting?” Turns out it was my ass! I said “I can’t believe you are doing this! You’re a famous actor!”

It’s true, this is a photo of me and my friend going to grab a Maxwell Street Polish at Portillo’s earlier today. He was just like “here hold this box,” and I was like “what for?”

Many of those perpetrating these awful raids are Catholics… when will the church decide they can no longer receive communion as they did with the democrats who simply supported a women’s right to choose?

The cover art of The Deer Hunter was filmed at the same angle as the famous “Saigon Execution” photo (one of the rare media depictions of casual violence in Vietnam), to refocus the attention on the American soldier as the victim, and put the viewer in his shoes.

"Socialism doesn't work," they say, as they prepare to continue their genocidal economic sanctions and embargoes on the innocent people of Cuba and Venezuela.

"Capitalism definitely works," they say, as they prepare to bail out the unhinged libertarian capitalist government in Argentina.

Today Columbia University literally allowed an Israeli vigil with flags on its campus but not a Palestinian one.

And we caught so much flack for organizing a boycott of that institution. Imagine.
