Bundyās heretical hostility to xenophobic hate isnāt as out of character as it might appear to a lay audience. While the Bundys are heroes to a movement associated with militant nativism, theyāve always belonged to a peculiar strand of the American militia movement ā one whose hostility to the federal government is rooted less in white nationalism than a libertarian Mormonism that honors the Church of Latter-day Saintsā traditional support for refugees.
Thatās the new UN bimbo, right? Kay Ahss?
trying to keep up really I am
He seems a bit stressed.
Trump said on Friday that he would nominate former Attorney General William Barr to the nationās top law enforcement job. But with the current session of Congress set to end soon, Barr may have to wait until well into 2019 to be confirmed by the Senate.
As soon as the session ends, the 10 day timer starts on recess appointments. Letās see if Trump can resist creating distracting chaos in the Christmas-New Yearās period.
Because of course
Umm, so now I am standing in solidarity with Cliven fucking Bundy??? What the hell kind of universe have entered into???
Truly the worst timeline.
I suppose it could be the timeline where the nazis won world war 2⦠that seems like it would be worse? I think weāre just in the dumbest timeline?
Yeah, the MCU makes a lot more sense, even if the dead wonāt stay that way!
Did they really lose, or are they just playing the really, really long con? (ETA: sarcasm, in case it wasnāt obvious)
Yeah, this for sure.
No arguments here, either. Too bad Thanos couldnāt have just dissolved Trump and his ilk instead and called it a day.
Damn, I had not even considered the ālong conā option. Thanks for the nightmare fuel, buddy!
I think itās just that people who arenāt smart enough grasp onto Hiterās ideas because it makes them seem like edgelords⦠Theyāre really just people looking to justify their own shitty behavior. They really arenāt smart enough to con most of us, which is why they need to employ force - they lose any other way.
Dude, donāt go there. Next youāll have PM from people telling you thereās a base in Antarctica, and the Nazis are just a cover story for the Illuminati or something.
I think Mindy-san is spot on, dumbest of all times. And itās not the amount of dumb. Itās the consensus of dumb. Specifically, so-called social networks make it easier to connect with the next dumb thing, and think itās clever. Connected dumbness, leading to dumb action. Swoosh, revolting.
Example:
ETA:
Donāt give that demagogue too much credit. He hadnāt had original ideas, and most fascists donāt even use those as Hitlerās. I think itās mostly that the same cruel and stupid ideas re-occur because they are so easy to think. Shortcut humanity, shortcut even logic, and youāll arrive in facism.
As we probably are now.
Sorry, I was missing a bold, blinking /s tag.
Iām surprised you didnāt link to Coryās own posts saying the exact same thing (although he may have just linked back to the same story).
But enough do to make him a figure thatās admired in some circles⦠you even hear it when people talk about that era (āHitler had a few good ideasā). I mean, this is part of the reason itās the dumbest timeline, yeah?
Oh, didnāt see this. Or read this.
This link arrived through somewhat social media.
(Does this validate or invalidate my argument? IDK.)
Regarding /s, gsubbing myself would not be appropriate, so Iāll just see myself out.
I was just pointing something out - there was no ulterior motive here.
I mean, yeah - the Nazis had some stylish uniforms. The autobahns are pretty cool (and yes, I know this association is a retcon, work with me here).
Itās not like āhaving some good ideasā excuses the whole genocide thing or nearly everything else he was directly or indirectly responsible for. That whole argument is just so ridiculous I canāt even.
No surprise there.
