Smallpox did most of the work, the Europeans would have been snuffed out in a heartbeat had not a century of disease gone through the area.

They're so ignorant they didn't know this happened. If a dude who maybe glanced casually at the campus Communists literature once punches a Nazi though, holy poo poo they've already got his backstory all figured out.

I can't help but notice that there was a string of race riots during the Obama administration, with one of the most poignant images I saw being the announcement that Michael Brown's killer had gotten off, and with Obama limply calling for peace and civility, on the other side of the screen there were images of people raising a ruckus in front of City Hall.

Armed police firing tear gas into protesters. Barack "we tortured some folks" Obama telling everyone to settle down, while the nation smolders and he could have done something too, but what does Barry Obama care about some hood rats in fuckall Missouri? The best he did--the sign perhaps of an aching conscience--was pardon the lifetime sentences of marijuana convicts, but that's a pretty petty gesture, to treat the symptom and not the disease.

God you know what really infuriates me the most about this electoral season it's that only now, after endless years of bitching about gender pronouns and safe spaces and dancing with the stars only now are you loving people suddenly "deeply concerned" about abuses of federal overreach, about the state of race relations in a country that systematically arrests more black men than any other demographic, that cages more human beings than any other nation in the history of the world, and the only reason you care now is because the charming rear end in a top hat who was selling this to you went away and you don't like the next rear end in a top hat who everybody chose to replace him. Suddenly it's like you've always been concerned about civil liberties being violated, even as you blithely shrugged your shoulders when Bernie Sanders was hijacked by a fascist oval office, hemmed and hawed when Clinton's foundation was revealed to be a farce, and that emails leaked by the DNC directly allude to the President of the United States accepting payoffs from major banks which were proven completely correct after he was out of office and none of you loving cared

None of you cared until Trump took over, and now you're still trying to look down your noses at people, now you want desperately to believe in the hysteria the media is trying to whip up. You are ignoring ANY other troubling aspect of this current reality because you have been convinced, by either your wounded pride or the mass media itself, that Donald Trump is so very, positively dangerous to this country that ANY means to oust him from power is acceptable. The sheer insanity of this notion, particularly coupled by how openly corrupt teh Democratic Party was revealed to be this election, as a political outsider for the first time became elected President on a surge of widespread populist support (in every place besides NY and LA) is horrifying to me.

You don't see how this ends. Maybe you don't care. You haven't until now.

Like you all think the Fourth Reich is coming to America? Barack Obama is the guy who suspended habeas corpus. That's right, if Donald Trump takes the power to kidnap people and make them disappear to fascist extremes, you know damned well that it was your guy who gave him that ability.

I would've cheered for Obama to do something as grandiose and villainous as you say. He could've suspended the elections and had Trump imprisoned and executed to prevent anyone from ever pardoning him. He could've imposed martial law and stamped out the neo-fascists where ever they congregated. He didn't do these things. He's just another milquetoast centrist Democrat who didn't rock the boat or have a spine to do what was right. Now he's going on vacation and you idiots still can't let go of how bad you had it as white men that there was a BLACK MAN in the WHITE HOUSE.

clearly the DNC and the clinton murder apparatus pressured fox into backing down. the truth cannot be covered up, no matter how many people claim to change their minds. the facts are the facts, especially if the facts agree with whatever i know in my heart to be true

This says nothing about the legitimacy of the story. It just says that Fox News is cucked fake news just like CNN. Breitbart and Infowars are the only legitimate news sources left.

The proper adjustment to make when proven wrong is to change the subject to a more abstract question. For example: Isn't it in the best interest of an investigator to accept all possible scenarios, until they can be completely ruled out?
