Bundyâs heretical hostility to xenophobic hate isnât as out of character as it might appear to a lay audience. While the Bundys are heroes to a movement associated with militant nativism, theyâve always belonged to a peculiar strand of the American militia movement â one whose hostility to the federal government is rooted less in white nationalism than a libertarian Mormonism that honors the Church of Latter-day Saintsâ traditional support for refugees.
Thatâs 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 nationâs 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. Letâs see if Trump can resist creating distracting chaos in the Christmas-New Yearâs 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 weâre just in the dumbest timeline?
Yeah, the MCU makes a lot more sense, even if the dead wonât stay that way!
Did they really lose, or are they just playing the really, really long con? (ETA: sarcasm, in case it wasnât obvious)
Yeah, this for sure.
No arguments here, either. Too bad Thanos couldnât have just dissolved Trump and his ilk instead and called it a day.
Damn, I had not even considered the âlong conâ option. Thanks for the nightmare fuel, buddy!
I think itâs just that people who arenât smart enough grasp onto Hiterâs ideas because it makes them seem like edgelords⌠Theyâre really just people looking to justify their own shitty behavior. They really arenât smart enough to con most of us, which is why they need to employ force - they lose any other way.
Dude, donât go there. Next youâll have PM from people telling you thereâs 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 itâs not the amount of dumb. Itâs the consensus of dumb. Specifically, so-called social networks make it easier to connect with the next dumb thing, and think itâs clever. Connected dumbness, leading to dumb action. Swoosh, revolting.
Example:
ETA:
Donât give that demagogue too much credit. He hadnât had original ideas, and most fascists donât even use those as Hitlerâs. I think itâs mostly that the same cruel and stupid ideas re-occur because they are so easy to think. Shortcut humanity, shortcut even logic, and youâll arrive in facism.
As we probably are now.
Sorry, I was missing a bold, blinking /s tag.
Iâm surprised you didnât link to Coryâs 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 thatâs admired in some circles⌠you even hear it when people talk about that era (âHitler had a few good ideasâ). I mean, this is part of the reason itâs the dumbest timeline, yeah?
Oh, didnât 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 Iâll 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).
Itâs not like âhaving some good ideasâ excuses the whole genocide thing or nearly everything else he was directly or indirectly responsible for. That whole argument is just so ridiculous I canât even.
No surprise there.
