The Schadenfreude here is hopefully America's embarrassment after realizing what a stupid loving idea that was in the first place.

Can fruede at the share-owners losing money on their investments. They're probably the type where that stings more than if they lost a family member.

And, of course, the open truck bed full of pre-set rat traps.

Bar staff realizes the owner donated to David Duke, collectively decides not to be this guy's bar staff anymore.

It'd be better if the owner was more upset, but still, KKK sympathizers losing their business is fun enough.

But what of his free speech right to say and express himself however he wants without being criticized or facing any repercussion whatsoever?

Heh, holy poo poo


How ashamed should we be as humans that this guy was allowed to just go and work for Porsche and Volkswagen after


And nowadays some people actually believe that you don't deserve to live decently or get a job because you've had a drug addiction or have something in your record. The standards have certainly been raised.

Well, he did originally receive a death sentence, but some people thought it was unfair.

quote:

Investigations were opened in the early 1950, including several Senate committees, on one of which was Joseph McCarthy, prepared to launch his sensationalist career. Receiving encouragement and information from right-wing and anti-semitic circles, MacCarthy dominated the proceedings and grabbed headlines. He was also probably encouraged by the right-wing, anti-semitic judge, LeRoy van Roden, who saw the trials as being a Jewish effort to take revenge on the Germans, and who also served on the investigating commissions.

McCarthy was a piece of poo poo, but those of us that aren't Ann Coulter can get some schadenfreude knowing he eventually got dismantled on live national TV, censured by congress, and died a couple years later due to supporting his local liquor stores too much.

Yeah, you're right, I got confused. He never got verified. He lost his old account for saying they should bury Baked Alaska in concrete which I guess Twitter decided is harassment against another user or whatever. Luckily Baked is no longer a user so he's fair game!

By their actions, at least up until today, Twitter's TOS appeared to be "Don't say mean things to nazis. Everything else is fair game. Especially people nazis don't like."

He’s not blind, he’s decided his car is so valuable he should get 2 full spaces to mitigate chances of door dings. He’s right in the loving middle, guarantee he does this anytime he can find two adjacent free spaces.

I bet he also cuts people off without signaling and gives them the finger if they honk at him

He's essentially this guy:

Or literally this guy, in a good and just world.

I for one am impressed by the free speech absolutists staunch, yet calm, demeanor in defending groups with ideologies centered around ethnically cleansing large swaths of the population. A demeanor, we can all be sure, that has nothing to do with the fact that they're not the people being targeted by these groups.
