    Nick Fuentes (friend of Kanye West/dined at Mar a lago) says that when his America First movement takes power non-Christians should be executed

    Personally, I disagree that it has gotten that bad, although I do respect your point. Fuentes and his ilk are a tiny minority even in the magasphere. And MAGA are still outnumbered significantly in the country as a whole. They don't have the power to implement their worst ideas, and I think...

    Nick Fuentes (friend of Kanye West/dined at Mar a lago) says that when his America First movement takes power non-Christians should be executed

    Don't feed the trolls. Nick Fuentes is a uniquely scummy troll, but he is still a troll. He survives off the attention, and he says deliberately inflammatory things to drive clicks. He's kind of like a school shooter looking for notoriety. Starting threads about him just gives him what he wants...

    Mississippi ‘Goon Squad’ deputies get yearslong sentences for racist torture of 2 Black men

    To recap, the conversation started with this exchange: ...followed by quotes from prominent Republicans claiming Rosa Parks "ended racism" and america is not a racist country. In case it isn't obvious, "there is no racism in America" is not the same as "there are no racist people in America"...

    Mississippi ‘Goon Squad’ deputies get yearslong sentences for racist torture of 2 Black men

    You know, you could win this argument very easily with a simple statement: "I acknowledge that there is a serious problem with systemic racism in this country". Write that, and I will admit I misjudged you. The silence is deafening in every one of your posts without it.

    Mississippi ‘Goon Squad’ deputies get yearslong sentences for racist torture of 2 Black men

    Present. Sure, these days the rules aren't directly racist. But they certainly can help to perpetuate the power of racist institutions and racist people in authority. And even when the negative effects of the rules are obvious, any attempt to change them is fought tooth and nail by the racists...

    Mississippi ‘Goon Squad’ deputies get yearslong sentences for racist torture of 2 Black men

    Stop playing dumb. When people say this is a racist country, they are talking about racism being built into the rules, institutions, and people in authority. As exhibited by the Rankin County police, among many others. You know this, I know this, Nikki Haley knows it, and everyone reading this...

    Mississippi ‘Goon Squad’ deputies get yearslong sentences for racist torture of 2 Black men

    Officers of the law committed heinous racist crimes. This was not a single bad apple, it was a squad. Leadership clearly knew about it. Racist incidents were happening for years, and frequent complaints were ignored. We're only hearing about it because they finally crossed the line. This...

    Special counsel: Trump’s ‘deception’ on classified docs distinguishes him from Biden, Clinton and Pence

    Trump was told for months that he was in illegal possession of classified documents. He lied and denied. Intent is not difficult to prove. Trump's ignorance of the law does not protect him Why not? Because you say so? In the idiotic world where classification is controlled solely by the...

    Special counsel: Trump’s ‘deception’ on classified docs distinguishes him from Biden, Clinton and Pence

    Did Trump talk about the information in those documents in public while President?

    Special counsel: Trump’s ‘deception’ on classified docs distinguishes him from Biden, Clinton and Pence

    If Trump can de-classify without telling anyone, Biden can re-classify without telling anyone. Regardless of what Trump thinks he did while in office, those documents were classified when Biden's DoJ demanded and eventually seized them. Trump was in illegal possession of documents belonging to...

    Special counsel: Trump’s ‘deception’ on classified docs distinguishes him from Biden, Clinton and Pence

    Listen, the system works one of two ways: 1. The President has ultimate authority on classification matters, but their decisions still need to be enacted. The security apparatus still has to be informed of the President's decisions, and it will take some time to implement those decisions. The...

    Special counsel: Trump’s ‘deception’ on classified docs distinguishes him from Biden, Clinton and Pence

    He could make the argument, and it will be laughed out of court. The special counsel won't have to prove any such thing. Further, if you believe the President can declassify without telling anyone, you must also believe the President can re-classify without telling anyone. The DOJ, enforcement...

    Nazis mingle openly at CPAC, spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories and finding allies

    Lawmakers who happen to not be Nazis. No guarantee it stays that way in years to come.

    Nazis mingle openly at CPAC, spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories and finding allies

    There were plenty of liberal Germans saying and doing the same thing in the 30s. I'm familiar with the argument. I heard it many times before this thread. However, the world is not so binary, and free speech is and always has been limited. It is possible to craft laws which differentiate...

    Nazis mingle openly at CPAC, spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories and finding allies

    The bolded is an opinion. You are not some genius spreading wisdom that the rest of us lesser thinkers have never considered before. You are just asserting an opinion as fact. Germany has very strict anti-nazi rules, and this has not resulted in the abuse of other groups or the death of free...
