    Just so I understand you clearly, your saying it is unreasonable to call "The Daily Stormer" a white supremacist Neo-Fascsist publication?

    Stormfront is just a bunch of misunderstood nice guys?

    I think it's good that cohete has brought it all out to the forefront. He kind of pissed around the edges for a while, but not anymore. He owns it.

    If Tucker Carlson appears frequently on a Neo-Nazi site as their top hired gun, and spews about race on his shows....it's safe to assume he is more than a right-wing shrill but rather an alt-right shrill. @Cohete Rojo How do you feel about that? Is Tucker Carlson just not likeable or is being featured that many times by Neo-nazis make you something?

    Tucker Carlson is a Fox News hack. Not some paid nazi talking head. You lunatic. Lol. This post was the best of the day so far. Keep this conspiracy stuff coming.

    That is disgusting. This line of thinking led to Nazi Germany.

    I think we should retain the Senate but I do understand the counterpoint.

    That said I wasn’t being completely ridiculous when I asked if we are getting rid of the Senate as well while we are getting rid of the Electoral College.

    @SamFisher do you have any other fantasy proposals?

    I'm not @SamFisher and I have no fantasies, but I'd think an independent commission (like they have in several states) to draw the congressional boundaries, this might be a good idea. Get the gerrymandering out. There's no reason that the districts in Texas should be as bizarre as they are.



    eta: and yeah, we keep the Senate. Didn't know that was up for debate.

    eta2: Glynch loves to talk about helping the little man, the poor people, but he just sh!ts all over them with the seething condescension every chance he gets. Glynch always knows better, if only they would listen to him.

    No, that's pretty clearly a reference to calling Tucker Carlson one.

    Tucker is a right wing populist, right wing populism has as much in common with neo nazis, that given he speaks for about 5 hours a week on tv, there will be overlap about once a week, similar with their favourite politician, Jeremy Corbyn, who seems to be an international socialist, and their new darling, Ilhan Omar, an Islamist whose anti-semitism they seem to adore.

    I don’t keep up with the Daily Stormer.

    You obviously know more about that than me.

    Then why are you defending a spokesperson for a neo-nazi zine?

    Wait what? Is this something you read on the SPLC? Sounds fishy. I doubt Fox would hire someone who works for a website like that. Better check snopes! The end all be all arbiter of fact, shouldn't you. The modern ministry if truth.

    I can tell when you are full of **** when you start playing your "babe in the woods" "I'm just a humble country lawyer" routine.

    You need to develop some new obfuscation techniques. Your repertoire is woefully limited.

    It must really suck to have to hide so much of who you are so much of the time. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
