Tennessee congressional candidate appeals to his white supremacist base

Less police reported crime, anyways, with a much smaller number of states actually reporting. It’s interesting to note how the numbers rapidly ramp up before reaching something of an equilibrium in most categories.

My theory: Noah hasn’t been allowed to hit his stride. I think Comedy Central may have gotten spooked by the early bad press when his name first came up and they’re playing it too damn safe.

I concur. I see lots of potential in Trevor Noah that hasn’t been tapped yet.

JS left some huge shoes to fill, and I can totally see the network deciding to water the content down, just to be on the “safe” side.

Thank you for giving some perspective on this guy. I think too often the media will take a fringe candidate and put him front and center because it sells. Regrettably, the more this happens, the larger the fringe is dissiminated as established truth.

I’d kinda like to touch his head just to see what it feels like. Of course I’d wear rubber gloves…white ones naturally. But yep, I’d like to feel that cranial cesspool just because it would be so special.

America “should go back to the 1960s.” Like this, Mr. Tyler?

I love how he thinks there was no violent crime in the '60s.

If there is one thing that would make me seriously consider working at Taco Bell it would the choice of working at Confederama instead.

Tennessee sure has changed since 2008, when the city of Crossville approved installation of a Flying Spaghetti Monster statue outside of the courthouse, and people treated each other with the respect his noodliness called for, samey = samey, or am I being nostalgic?
Make America al dente again.

Lookiing at the ticker, I think you’re burying the lead there, ants setting up a logistics business, isn’t that one of the canonical signs of the apocalypse?

an America I don’t believe I live in

Try working a construction crew, anywhere in America. Spend a night in jail, anywhere in America. This whole country is drenched in racism. You only have to look to see it.

Wishful thinking, methinks. Racism is a changing same. It’s a shape-shifting tool that just gets refitted and wielded in different ways as time goes by. Plenty of young ones are growing up while basting in it. Overt and covert racisms wax and wane. This usefully divisive sickness won’t go away any time soon.

And of course for kids, TV greatly informs their perception of the wider world that they have no direct experience…

The 60s - when there were no people of colour in America - before the blacks mass immigrated themselves in uninvited, right?

For a second there I thought this sign could have been from Southern Maryland. More confederate flags there than US flags.
