Highway to Hell: Trump PAC CEO praises Muslim registry, internment camps

Please. The lava would melt the giant letters on the side of the mountain. Plus, doesn’t that toupee count in place of the cat?

Spoiler: Jeff yanks the baby away right as Trump is about to kick it, and Trump falls on his ass.

As for me, I think American Christians are a much more dangerous group. This guy seems to agree:

One of the difficulties in raising public concern over the very severe threats of global warming is that 40 percent of the US population does not see why it is a problem, since Christ is returning in a few decades. About the same percentage believe that the world was created a few thousand years ago. If science conflicts with the Bible, so much the worse for science. It would be hard to find an analogue in other societies.

“Highway to Hell” is obviously subjective and fine. Please show where in the article he praises either the Muslim registry or (and this is the big problem for me) internment camps? AFAICT he used them as a comparison point for what the Supreme Court would allow.

This guy is a yuuuuuuuge scumbag for many, many reasons, but we can prove that without inventing things he said.

When one suggests that something would be a useful precedent for one’s stated goal, one is implying that it is a good thing in one’s mind. If one suggests that aloud, it is effectively praise.

Here’s the full transcript:

The problem is that Higbie is a mealy-mouthed weasel speaking out of both sides of his mouth. That helps people who want to defend him by pointing to his saying “I’m not saying it’s a good idea,” but when asked if it was a good idea he said “absolutely,” claimed it would “protect America,” and stated he supported it. With that kind of confused dissembling and mixed up rhetoric it’s not surprising you’re going to find people coming away with different messages - that’s the point.

Seems like you joined BoingBoing to do anything but “prove” persons are terrible.

He literally says all of that was embarrassing and disgusting, and then proceeds to be factually wrong on nearly everything he said talking about in countering her - for example he says that if every Jill Stein vote in WI, MI, and PA would not be high enough to win the election for Hillary or claiming the Comey letter helped Clinton.

His opinion is a sloppy strawman that anyone every saying anything against Hillary is immediately shouted down as a sexist, all because a campaign adviser listed sexism as part of the reason Hillary lost and didn’t go on TV to say Hillary was the wrong candidate to ever have run. That’s what he spends nearly ten minutes focused on too, and the only single piece of evidence that he throws out is the polls from March about how Bernie was more popular than Trump. It’s craziness to say that people that voted for Bernie or Obama cannot be racist or sexist, that’s bananapants reasoning.

WI is deep red, and at the state and federal level have universal Republican control. Bernie lost to Hillary Clinton in the PA primaries. Just shouting that the people wanted Bernie and more liberal policies and shouting that Bernie was more popular in the Midwest and that means it wasn’t about sexism has no logic to it at all.

Bernie would most likely have outperformed Hillary Clinton, and Hillary Clinton’s campaign has no reason to suddenly say “we always knew she was a bad candidate” and (imagine this) they probably were passionate about their candidate to being with. Karen Finney literally said nothing wrong, even if she didn’t also vilify Hillary Clinton.

I’m not greatly impressed by the candidates who are likely to be the only alternative to Le Pen, either.

Officially, but i strongly suspect that most current Christians misinterpret “Thou shalt* have no other gods before me” as ‘Don’t believe in other gods’ rather than ‘Don’t worship other gods’. In fact, i feel like i remember that the non-existence of other gods (they’re demiurge’s) is doctrine on some denominations.

that’s a strawman. what i was saying was that the protests going on now, the protests which have happened before, and even people being active online are important, even when they are not perfect.

action now, in all it’s forms, knits people together into what’s necessary for effective resistance.

Absolutely not.

I am a tax-paying American. In fact, I paid more taxes than Trump and GE combined last year. We will not be having internment camps in America again, especially not because of trumped-up charges of manufactured terrorism. I won’t stand for it. America is better than this bullshit.

I call bullshit squared.

P.S. Yo, haters, please be aware that love trumps hate cosmically. You can’t win against the universe.

Please don’t appeal to supernatural consequences, no God Fearing hatemonger acts as if they exist now, they won’t protect us.

Agreed to all the rest.

I’m not appealing to supernatural consequences, for I’m appealing to pragmatism: asteroid at any time, bruh: we must work together. It will take global effort to deflect the Rock.
