    For a man who opposed fascism, FDR sure did act like a fascist sometimes.

    If anyone's interested in what The Sobbing Nazi Chris Cantwell was up to before he tried his hand at overt white supremacy and professional victimhood, have a look at this:

    Well this is a good sign

    The people in the pavilion were the villains, the huge crowd around them are the good guys.

    Why would the president wear the costume of the southern democrat?

    That was 50 years ago or more. Even George Wallace admitted he was wrong.

    Catching a segment on Fox News and they are making the Nazi/KKK/alt right look like innocent protesters and literally calling the counter-protesters a George Soros, decades long funded, well organized institution that are against free speech and peaceful protesting. Oh, and she just compared them to the Taliban and the Left is living in a bubble.

    Edit: Oh and Common core is a part of it all and fascist!

    George Soros is the boogieman of anti-Semites. FOX are more or less saying the Jews are behind those opposed to the right.

    Trump's approval rating in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania (the 3 Midwestern states he unexpectedly won by a sliver, that tipped the Electoral College) is about 35%
    http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...ing-stands-below-40-percent-three-key-n794061

    Though the ones who conducted this poll also projected Hillary to beat Trump in Pennsylvania by 10% in mid-October and didn't bother to poll Michigan or Wisconsin, so there's that.




    Btw, the official Electoral College results, because of the faithless electors, is kind of funny:

    The actual results:

    And these are the places that became more Republican shaded red, more Democratic shaded blue:

    For those believing in the freedom to be able to say whatever you want regardless of content, the blog at namecheap.com is stating the thought process behind their decision to delete the dailystormers domain names. They're clearly not taking the decision lightly and their position statement isn't ignorant of the potential long term consequences of what they've done. An interesting read.

    https://blog.namecheap.com/inciting-violence-vs-freedom-speech/

    One section in particular seemed to sum it up best.

    Our commitment to free speech is well-documented, including through our support of EFF.org, but there is a line where free speech ends and incitement begins. It may be an elusive one but, as United States Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart stated in his threshold test for obscenity in Jacobellis v. Ohio: “I know it when I see it.”

    Can the Democrats just get their **** together for like five seconds?

    For gods sakes if they can't mobilize against a party so torn they can't get something passed with a significant majority, then they all might as well throw their hands in the air and rename the whole party as the "Losing Side."
