God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

the president of the united states hosted a reality show and then hired on of the contestants who then recorded him saying poo poo and then claimed he was racist as hell

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

James Forrestal. Last Secretary of the Navy, first Secretary of Defense.

He and the Dulles brothers poured millions into trying to get Tom Dewey elected, and when Truman won re-election instead, he got kicked out of the cabinet, and that sent him on the manic-depressive spiral that eventually ended in his suicide.

His career went up in flames

He ruled.

This also reminded me that back in 07, towards the end of the Democratic Primary, Clinton, Obama, and McCain all appeared on Raw. All I remember is Clinton saying "you can call me the Hill Dog."

In other funny things, some time either last year or the year before there was an editorial in a UK paper (the Spectator?) which asked the question 'why is Jeremy Corbyn so anti-semitic?' and answered with 'because communism is inherently Jewish.'

Also from back in March when the Roni was setting in and everyone was making a run on the supermarkets. Some media dunce took a picture of an empty super market shelf in London and posted it with "thank goodness Jeremy Corbyn isn't Prime Minister, otherwise this would be happening in England."

Just remembered in the Hillary documentary when they ask her why she didn't come out to concede on election night she's pretend playing with her phone and just goes "didn't feel like it" and they don't go any further with it.

But doesn't Corbyn want communism? Is this a self hating Jew joke? Have I spent more time thinking about how this is meant to work than the original author?

The safety pin was to show minorities you were a safe white to talk to and would not harm them if they approached. There was a $500 a year safety pin subscription

The guy who designed the Pentagon threw himself out of a hotel window because he was convinced the communists were coming to kill him.

edit: Or not him. I'm not sure who, but it was in the Oliver Stone Untold History of America about the culture of the military elite in power right after WW2 and how completely insane some of them were. The guy who killed himself was a major part of the pentagon project in some way.

Early on in Legacy of Ashes they mention one of the early CIA directors killing himself over what was probably guilt over teaming up with Nazi war criminals to fight the communists.

Thinking more about this, I guess they felt they needed to ensure the line of communication with the help wasn't disrupted so at Starbucks or wherever they weren't afraid to ask whether they still want whip or not because they asked for it with skim milk

yeah thats pretty good


I think it was more about drawing distinction between themselves and "the bad" whites. If trump hadn't won you could believe that white america wasn't really made up of selfishness and cruelty, and trumps win made it pretty apparent that trump really did represent white people so white people who didn't want their brand associated with his brand wanted a quick simple way to visually distinguish themselves.

Ah yeah I remember that. A woman I went to university with started one of those monthly services themed around the Safety Pin thing to teach white people how to be good allies. I don't remember how the whole thing ended but IIRC she and her partner had a falling out and one or both of them turned out to be a Grade-A grifter.
