"[Hitler's] entire political career was violent from the beginning. There was always death in his wake. He didn’t just suddenly “turn” violent. It was a pattern …as it always is with sociopaths. This is THE most important thing to watch; the violence. I always keep an eye on who is rioting …breaking things …throwing rocks and bombs. It doesn’t make them Nazis. But it signals how far they’re willing to go."

File this under the “Things I’m Not Shocked to See” category. As it turns out, one of the “antifa” attackers from the Milo Yiannpoulos event in California the other night has been identified. Not only that, he draws a paycheck from the UC Berkeley administration. Shocking, I know. Well, at least one thing is surprising: that he’s this fucking stupid.
The New York Times’ coverage of alleged sexual assault on college campuses “seems of a piece with the leftist bias I noticed within the Times newsroom regarding climate change, gay marriage, abortion, affirmative action, labor, and other hot-button issues.”
Tom Jolly, New York Times sports editor, confessed in February 2008 that he regretted aspects of his paper’s much-criticized coverage of the Duke lacrosse case. He vowed to do better. “Knowledge gained by hindsight has informed our approach to other stories since then,” said Jolly, who later became an associate managing editor.
So, what’s the pattern? How do fascists take power? First, they are angry with election results or how the country is being run. Then fascists use militant tactics to force the population into supporting, or acquiescing in, their cause, even though most citizens don’t actually support the fascist agenda.

School does send notice of kid legally being withdrawn from school to create absences which CPS to get involved. Funny. Only happens to parents that home school. Odd.
This is an example of why no gun laws requiring "officials" to approve something/anything is acceptable. Apply it to any right you want to lose 'cause you will.
Nothing. It's been a rainy week in Cali, so probably just hay fever or something.

Let's see that beer ad:
Ugh.
Virtue-signaling points with the crusty, disheveled, old white guy telling cutie Adolphus to go back, and with the only person who seems to smile genuinely at him is a black person.

NO! Fuck *that*, Princess Judgey... YOU'RE the one being trite and sentimental, not me.
If there's one lesson in my family tree, it's that Germans didn't do well all the time, even in the Ohio Valley... Especially if they decided to date the Scottish gal from around the corner.

Seriously, peckerheaded fuckbunnies left & right prattle on as if they know exactly how immigration is supposed to work best, even if they've never done anything for an immigrant and never done anything for a soon-to-be displaced worker in Appalachia or South-Central, either.
Fuck that. If you're so indisputably kind and virtuous, let us see the product of your brilliance and warmth. Tell us about the people you've helped in either context, between the forces at war in our polity today.
'Cause Beeyotch, I'm pretty sure you got nothin'... Not a Goddamn thing.
This ad is right out of the bat from the Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen trainwrek ad campaign. Besides, The Simpsons already did Immigrants are a Guuuud thing, but with a white (yellow) twist.
Well what are you critiquing... The beer, the sentiment, the drama, the marketing or the politics? If you want just to be smugly grumpy, why feign target selection at all?

I've never watched an episode of the Simpsons.
Did I miss anything?
Saw most of a Seinfeld once. '94.

With over 600 episodes and counting you can say it's pretty much rare that someone has done something The Simpsons hasn't done already.
Ten years ago I would have adored the ad. But in this day and age where everything feels shoehorned and every form of criticism towards it is deflected with a rainbow of accusations of -isms? Nah.
I'm gonna stick with cheesy ads that laugh at themselves.
Trump isn't Hitler, a common sense viewpoint.
