And for added context, he was pretty quiet during all of Obama's tenure.

I'm really getting tired of these people giving speeches and kind of wink nudging towards Trump instead of just growing a spine and outright pointing at him "That's the guy, officers! That's the one!"

GWB wasn't an outright fascist, but he is still responsible for hundreds of horrific fuckups that we as a nation will be effected by for decades. He was competent enough to get horrific poo poo done

He dislikes Trump and the Bannons of the world because his philosophy is about using American global leadership to enrich his friends and donors, and doesn't want to seemit replaced with a system that will enrich different friends and donors. He wants there to be a strong, global economy that he can rob

and I'm sorry, but I refuse to believe the constitution of the united states protects peoples right to preach hate speech. If you can't yell fire in a crowded theater, you shouldn't be able to yell "Blood and Soil" in a city park, surrounded by angry protesters and sympathetic racists with guns.

Fire in a crowded theater isn't a thing. Please slap your social studies teachers for failing you (or apologize to them for not paying attention, whichever applies). Fun historical fact, it was in reference to antiwar activism. Another example that any limitations on speech and assembly will be used to immediately to afflict the afflicted and comfort the comfortable.

It would be trivial (and wholly loathsome) to apply any vaguely constitutional legislation aimed at thwarting Spencer/Nazis to BLM, for instance. If you doubt that this would happen, remember we've seen lynching charges and convictions against BLM activists... when Sessions was still a senator and Trump still a private citizen. Unless you want to specifically bar the nazis or racist ideologies. For which you would need an amendment, and I'm not optimistic. Arguably, this is not the constitution as it should be. Unfortunately, there's no credible question that it's the constitution as it is.

The guns make for a different and plausibly more productive path. Both protesters and counterprotesters have a constitutional right to assemble that cannot be restricted based on content (which is why the Fash won their suit in Charlottesville). Look to decisions on Hecklers Veto cases to see that noxious views cannot be restricted just because opponents are causing a disruption-no matter how justifiably. Post Charlottesville, counterprotests would have an interesting argument that their rights to peaceably assemble are violated due to the armed nazi trash.

Hitler was alive and well when he himself mainstreamed the cult. And this cult lived on after him because it existed long before him. Alive or dead he was going to be the figurehead because he hosed up the world and turned genocide into an industry.

For real. It's the same motivation behind the Trump Supporter Thinkpieces that are just starting to recede. There's a desperate urge for most Americans, and especially to the center/left, to believe they don't share this country with 100m+ irredeemable trash bags. Anything that presents nonsociopathic reasons for the election of Trump (or Bush) is glommed onto by the press because people devour those stories to reassure themselves that Spencer is an anomaly.

Folks like Joel Anderson at Buzzfeed deserve credit for their stories proving that they're not anomalies at all.

"gently caress Donald Trump, gently caress the NRA, gently caress every senator and congressmen who offers up thoughts and prayers over my death.

gently caress, the Los Vegas shooting was this month and yet it feels like people have already forgotten about it. Which I guess is understandable considering all the other horrible things that are happening, but still.

The line that everyone is mostly running with in this story is "Hillary Clinton gave away 20% of the United State's uranium to Russia," in a shady backroom, possibly treasonous deal.

Allow me to quickly explain why this is a steaming mound of utter bullshit.

This uranium deal is was an arrangement for Rostatom, a Russian nuclear energy company with vaguely defined goals (This company in 2009 was under investigation by Robert Mueller for corruption.)Rostatom wanted to purchase Uranium One, a Canadian mining firm with licenses to mine American-owned uranium deposits in Kazakhstan.
When the validity of the mining licenses was at issue, $8.65M of donations were made to the Clinton Foundation while this purchase was being hammered out. These donations were from the chairman of Uranium One (CAN), not Rostatom (RUS). The Obama administration gave it the green light, it's not like there was some cloak & dagger secrecy where 'Obama had some arcane knowledge.

Today's NukeChat has been brought to you by, you guessed it-

Reading
the
loving
news.

links are from Newsweek, TheHill, NYT, and the last is a Snopes fact check which gets into the real nitty-gritty.

quote:

The timing of Telfer�s (Uranium One chairman) donations might be questionable if there was reason to believe that Hillary Clinton was instrumental in the approval of the deal with Russia, but all the evidence points to the contrary � that Clinton did not play a pivotal role, and, in fact, may not have played any role at all.
