I just keep reading these things and the only thing that comes to mind is Trump on top of a castle pouring gasoline everywhere as the fire that has engulfed the world approaches
Like there are ways to debate how we got here, but the fact we are here (at least in America, and actually most of the west) is astounding as it is tragic.
What terrifies me is that throughout history the most horrific events have been the most surprising that only make sense in retrospect. Sure there are threats of Nazis resurging but in truth the potential for a new, never-before-seen type of horror is very, very present. And there aren't the social mechanics to fight back against, say, massive militaristic operations run by governments in the light or behind the curtain.

If baking a cake for a gay wedding means you support gay marriage, then helping a pedophile get elected in Alabama means you support pedophilia.

DNC - Franken must resign
NRC - We support Roy MooreSums things up quite nicely.
- UGH.... RNC
I'm dyslexickona - its quite unbelievable actuallyRamanisky2
- Explains why the Dems are losing most of the time...zarkonite
- how so zark?monospaced
- Because the thin skinned left and dems constantly are getting offended, distracted, bullied and side lined.inteliboy
- whilst the right spew their bs narrative without giving two shits what the left think about it.inteliboy
- Erase those negative thoughts with something positive. What you need is a daily affirmation.********
- ^ full on ruhtardRamanisky2
- @inteliboy - that is what Bill Maher says a lot and I'm now starting to see his point. Left keeps taking high ground while gop rolls them over and again.monkeyshine
- Actually this is a smart move for the Dems. Conyers and Franken resign (they can easily be replaced in Democratic states). Republicans elect Trump and Moore.yuekit
- Looks terrible for Repubs and nothing is really lost by kicking out Franken. He would have struggled to be reelected anyway.yuekit
- This is probably all some ploy from women to take over positions normally held by men.********
- lol @ "the left" - aside from Bernie "the left" barely exists in US politics.fadein11
- lol, really? so ... getting worked up over sexual harassment is thin skinned, but it's okay for the right to declare that there's a war on Christmas? ffsmonospaced
- NRA = RNC = NRCjaylarson

Trump might have just lost his white-supremacists Nazi support base with this Israel move.
If you find one, ask them. Then punch them.
- I have my doubts, to be honest. His support base wouldn't even know Israel is.Continuity
- And if there's something his people hate more than Jews, it's Muslims. So any way they can stick it to Palestinians is a good way.Continuity
- *know whereContinuity
- worst nazi everIRNlun6
- Possibly. Anyone that ins't WASP is fair game to these knuckleheads.monoboy
- There's a weird aspect of white nationalism where they actually respect Israel as long as they stick to their own country.yuekit
- And in return, Israel embraces elements of the far right...certainly the racist aspects.yuekit
- Nationalists first and foremost. Odd bunch.monoboy
- @yuekit, They certainly embrace the pogrom/Lebensraum aspect, too.Continuity
- Absolutely...very sad and ironicyuekit
- The shit-heels on cunt containment boards like /pol are oddly muted about this. I guess they are jumping through mental hoops trying to justify their fuckery.face_melter
- face, I'm surprised you can stomach hanging out on /pol/.Continuity
- Spencer respects Israel and likes some of their thinking: http://www.independe…PhanLo
- /pol is hilarious - with their little flags and whatnot. The level of pathetic internet edgelord madness is amazing - omg is just our Lidl version.face_melter
- Of course, everyone there needs to be fucking destroyed, but as an insight into living, breathing mental retardation it's fascinating.face_melter
- I agree, it's all about Muslim hate, not Israel love.allthethings

- Some dude got jumped by 5+ people just down the street from me for wearing a Trump hat and taunting people.IRNlun6
- You’re really just asking to get jumped in this political environment. Sucks, but it is what it is.IRNlun6
- lol, a known terrorist group. the only thing they terrorize is your feelings omg.dorf
- Lewis hamilton haha...fadein11
- these terrorists attacked govt institutions, set cars and buildings on fire, attacked innocent people on the streets.********
- you feel threatened whenever you go out in public and spew hate and bigotry in support of donald trump? awe, you poor little snowflake bitch, stop cryingmonospaced
- i see ya'll still supporting your criminal friends hiding behind hoods. they still laughing at your cute / fake little sjw cries of bigotry and hate. meow!********
- I am proudly hateful and bigoted against racists. I'm not supporting any criminals, but if you feel threatened, you're still the snowflake.monospaced
- let's not pretend you only get hateful and bigoted is when the person is racist. Your definition of criminality is based on your beliefs rather than law.********

“We’re going to have to get back next year at entitlement reform, which is how you tackle the debt and the deficit,” the speaker of the House, Paul D. Ryan, Republican of Wisconsin, said on Wednesday during an interview with the radio host Ross Kaminsky."

JFC. The tax bill allows for deductions for losses caused by hurricanes, floods or tornadoes, but NOT for losses due to fires and earthquakes.
- So California is fucked then, right?Continuity
- Fire and earthquake is God's way of destroying the degenerates and sexually malfunctioned!face_melter

Email shows effort to give Trump campaign WikiLeaks documents
- CNN, once again living up to its reputationIRNlun6
- ^ lol...says the Trump supporteryuekit
- Can you name a single time Trump issued a correction about the many lies and inaccuracies he's told?yuekit
- Why should he? Trump is not a newspaper, journalist or a liar like Hillary.********
- Well you obviously don't mind being lied to I guess.. by the way great tactic logging in as the joke account when you can't defend an argument ;)yuekit
- omg because he claims to have the truth and he's the only clown calling the news fake ... he's a hypocrite and you support a moronmonospaced
- Were you sexually harassed? Did they call you beautiful? So filled with accusations. It must hurt watching reality whistle at you.********
- It hurts realizing there are actual people out there that support this moron. My faith in the intelligence and integrity of America is near zero. Thanks omg.formed
- it's not an accusation when I say trump makes false claims ... it's the truth. It's not an accusation he calls news fake. He does that every day. fucking trollmonospaced
- CNN got the date wrong, destroying the entire premise of their report. They earned the moniker fake news because that is what they do.IRNlun6
- 4 times this week major news outlets have had to retract stories. Retractions that get barely the attention they deserve.IRNlun6
- It hurts me to see intelligent people continue to trust the narrative of major news outlets that have been repeatedly incorrect.IRNlun6
- This is actually a good case study on the whole "fake news" thing....the media did fuck up, but they immediately retracted and clarified the story.yuekit
- That's not fake news, that's just a mistake. And supposedly anti-Trump news outlets like the Washington Post played a role in debunking the story.yuekit
- BTW, do you know who originally broke the Hillary Clinton private server story? The New York Times, which according to Trump is "fake news" out to get him.yuekit
- They also broke the Harvey Weinstein story. CNN first reported the Al Franken allegations.yuekit
- If the media was actually "fake news" and only interested in helping liberals, they would never correct a story, they would never report anything damaging toyuekit
- their "side", they would simply spew lies and propaganda to millions of people and never correct or acknowledge any error.yuekit
- In other words they would act exactly like Trump, the guy you support. If the entire media acted like Trump, then no one would be able to tell what wasyuekit
- true. The entire news would look like the National Inquirer or an Infowars broadcast.yuekit
