I've counterprotested at a few klan rallies over the years. It's a lot less intimidating for everyone when:

  • Nobody is allowed to carry weapons
  • The klan marchers are surrounded and outnumbered 2-1 by black cops
  • The klan marchers are outnumbered 10-1 by counterprotestors, their families, dogs, etc

Before Trump started legitimizing this poo poo and the right-wingers started doing the "open carry" protest, they were just ridiculous and their marches were just an opportunity for mass public mockery.

Good post. I went to a school that is very close to a very famous Civil War site and one year the KKK decided to show up to defend their "heritage" at the site. The school implicitly encouraged us to go out and counter-protest the KKK and it was absolutely laughable how terrified the Klan was of a bunch of students yelling at them to get out of town.

If you outnumber the Nazis they'll piss their pants in fear. They're exactly like bullies.

Pizza delivery, if you have a car. It ends up paying way more than minimum wage after tips unless you're in a really lovely area with lovely people that don't tip.

If you watch all the other left-leaning comedy news shows, you immediately see how tame and misguided SNL's political humor is. They're practically freshman-college-level analysis and satire.

SNL is worth it just because you know Trump watches it obsessively and it bothers him to the point where he makes policy changes based on it.

I think the extra cash is really just cancelled out by wear on your car. Driving for a living is also seriously dangerous. I worked delivery for years and saved up a lot of money, but then my car died, a coworker got robbed on a delivery, tips didn't keep up with increases in gas prices, and an SUV almost rolled over me in an accident. Some people also tried to rob me, and some guy road raged on me so hard that he followed me for miles.

e: Oh, and another coworker was answered at the door by a naked guy with a shotgun.

I dunno if I'd say Barbarossa had collapsed by mid-42. Stalingrad was late 42-early 43.

Barbarossa ended with the Battle of Moscow, with the Soviet winter counteroffensive.

Stalingrad was a new operation starting in July 1942

Okay, let's be serious. We have been talking back and forth about him being fired for months and it hasn't happened. He's not getting fired. There was an article about a trump is too afraid to do it and I think that's right. Trump knows he's too important to his base. It's not going to happen.
