my bad for picking up the nerd-right narrative
“The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive,” he said, employing the same life-or-death language as his inauguration speech, which promised a war against the “American carnage” of urban crime. “Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost? Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders? Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?”

While Mr. Trump made mention of the terrible toll wreaked by the Nazis on Poland and its once thriving Jewish population, many of his comments were targeted at the onetime invaders from the East. The president noted that Joseph Stalin had halted his troops outside the city during the uprising, allowing German forces to exterminate or capture Polish partisans fighting in the ruins of the city.
“The Soviet armed forces stopped and waited,” he reminded his Polish audience to applause and chants of “Donald Trump!” and “Hail to the heroes!” The Soviets, he added, “tried to destroy this nation forever by shattering its will to survive.”
hail to the heroes and their triumphant will
The Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, which tracks extremism and hate online and offline, analyzed the Reddit account and found “an 18-month record of vile comments and memes against Muslims, African-Americans, Jews and others.”
Although not much is known about the person, ADL said some posts indicate the user is “a parent and a veteran in his 40s living in Tennessee.”
Almost all respondents — 86 percent — saw the pictures. When asked to describe it, the most popular word New Jerseyans used was "disgusted," at 7 percent, with "anger" and "disbelief" a close second. Other popular words: "Selfish," "hypocrite" and "arrogant." Less than 10 percent either said something positive or that they weren't bothered by it.
And then there was this: "Another 6% of those polled simply used some form of profanity to express their sentiments about Christie's beach day," said the news release circulated with the poll.
But Christie can take solace in one aspect of the latest poll on his job performance: He's still in double digits.
Before arranging a meeting with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer he believed would offer him compromising information about Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump Jr. was informed in an email that the material was part of a Russian government effort to aid his father’s candidacy, according to three people with knowledge of the email.
The email to the younger Mr. Trump was sent by Rob Goldstone, a publicist and former British tabloid reporter who helped broker the June 2016 meeting.
this is what everybody is harping on today and it still smells like bullshit to me. even if the story is totally true, all it says is a publicist thought it was a Russian plot and told Donald Jr., Even if he was right, it doesn't mean he knew. even if he was right, and knew, that doesn't demonstrate anything about what the Democrats have actually been complaining about. he didn't tell the idiot son that they hacked the voting machines or even that they hacked Hillary.
I don't care about Trump but we have to keep in mind that they'll do this to someone we like, too. They were doing it to Corbyn. They straight up just cheated in the primary to nuke Sanders and got away with it, and those guys were moderate
whatever the case turns out to be we should be very skeptical of CIA people asserting that people are foreign agents in total anonymity with no evidence

my favorite thing about it is watching them rail against all the Putinistas and Pro-Putin Tankies and how they are so dumb and goddamn crazy what with constantly saying nice things about putin when as far as i can tell no defense of putin has appeared in the english language in several years

if they admitted that they would have to own up to how most people in the world don't like the government of the united states no matter who runs it
Remember that when the fed gov took over slave states in 1865 and ran them directly with black people participating it was the best administration they ever had.
Red Dawn and Holidays In Cambodia all the way baby!
I wish they'd jail each other already.
“This request is very concerning,” wrote one. “The federal government is attempting to get the name, address, birth date, political party, and social security number of every voter in the country.” That email, published by the White House, contained the sender's name and home address.
“DO NOT RELEASE ANY OF MY VOTER DATA PERIOD,” wrote one voter whose name and email address was published by the White House.
“Beefed up the security on this email address yet?” asked another voter whose name and email address were also published by the White House.
“The request for private voter information is offensive,” wrote one voter whose name, home address and email address were published by the White House.
“I removed my name from voter rolls. And I'm a Republican!” wrote one voter whose name was published by the White House.
I'm kind of enjoying how vicious and petulant the Post is getting.

Three dead as violence erupts at US rally
Three people have died as mass brawls broke out between white supremacists and anti-fascist protesters at a far-right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
People threw punches, hurled water bottles and used pepper spray during the violence as riot police were deployed to try to disperse the crowds. At least eight people were hurt.
oh shit! sounds like a really bad brawl. maybe antifa have gone too far-
Among the three dead were two police officers who were on a helicopter that crashed near the scene.
oh. i, uh
The other death was a 32-year-old woman who had been crossing the street when she was struck by a car that hit a group of anti-Nazi campaigners also leaving 19 people injured.
hrmmm,
Speaking about the disorder, US President Donald Trump said he condemned 'in the strongest possible terms' what he called an 'egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides'.
