This was a very interesting edit. Perhaps if you included “Jews will not replace us” instead of … the picture might be clearer.
I noticed this because I thought surely some neonazi hasn’t been allowed to edit the most offensive slogans out of the wiki. Nope, still there along with “Blood and Soil”.
I didn’t mean that to be an edit. Just to highlight the Russia part.
Very fine people on both sides, and I’m not talking about the white nationalists and Nazis, just Steve, who is a statue enthusiast and had no idea he was surrounded by white nationalists and Nazis.
Yeah, the more conservative outlets are making this out to be some big aha smoking gun apology line forms here kind of thing. Perhaps this should’ve gone in the Republicans Say thread instead.
The Conservative Reddit response has been hilarious. People will post “Snopes FINALLY ADMITS Trump did nothing wrong”, then half the responses are “Snopes is garbage, don’t listen to it” and the other half is “it was still a pretty terrible response and it makes sense why people viewed it the way they did.”
Trump likes people that are almost, but not quite Nazis? Is that the winning conclusion?
The real kicker was the desire to talk about “both sides” in the wake of nazi terrorism.
If you want to be all “technically some people who protest with nazis are good!! and technically some people who attack nazis are bad!!” that’s good and fine, but not as a eulogy for a nazi murder victim.
It wouldn’t be the Rs’ first unforced error if they do decide to revive this topic.
It’s not even a loss for them. Republicans won’t remember the terrorism.
They will remember learning how the radical anti-nazis are bad and scary. They will remember how the elitist Left overreacted and misunderstood and misquoted Trump. They might remember that sometimes Trump says stupid things but his words don’t matter as much as his actions (but they won’t remember his actions).
If you are at a protest, and a bunch of people in the protest do a march with burning torches chanting “Our blood, our soil” and “Jews will not replace us,” and you don’t immediately nope out of there, then even if your intentions were initially good, you are on the wrong side.
There is the initial reaction, and there is the Fox News revised reaction. See January 6th.
Menendez found guilty on all counts.
Weaponization of the justice system!
Not mad about this, I know left-leaning outlets also tailor their titles. Just made me laugh that solely Fox News starts off with “Democratic Senator”.
For my take, good. Hope that means prison time. Get out of politics.
I’m happy about it. Politicians should not be above the law regardless of party.
Also the headline that, on him being convicted, his fellow Democrat (and the head Democrat, at that) calls for him to be ousted.
And I was about to compliment him on that, but, really, it’s only what he should be doing and really shouldn’t be something that gets a compliment.
Agree. It should be more common on both sides to publicly chastise or, to their ability, eject members.
I was heartened by the case I mentioned in the assassination thread - CO state lawmaker Woodrow made a mildly inappropriate tweet, not wishing for death but in poor taste. The official CO Democratic Party retweeted and publicly denounced his comment and shortly after he deleted his social media and released an apology.
Bad that it was necessary, good handling. Love to see the response.
On the whole, when I hear about any congress-critter, senator, potus, judge, justice, I want to see the D or R next to their name.
All it takes is (D) or (R). Not much space needed at all.
I wish more Dems would go on Fox and tell their hosts and viewers to “look up the data”! Good for Pete.
