The “Stand Off” podcast covering what happened at Ruby Ridge gives good insight into how we got here as a country.
I feel like this should be bigger news than it is. I am not familiar with campaign finance laws, but wouldn't Fox burying a news story be in line with catch and kill by the Enquirer? Where exactly does it differ?
Yeah, it was kind of a rhetorical question, really Couldn't they just give him two and put something in them to make it look genuine This way they make him look like some homeless bellhop
I hate that people have bad feelings towards Israel, but I understand that he is major reason right now, so it is frustrating. What I like about what Painter says though is that he is able to draw a parallel about how people feel about us right now, so it resonates better for me.
I hate people. She’s basically aware and an advocate but chose her words poorly and now the lunatics attack her. We are on the same team, you fucking animals.
sure, the 2nd tweet was dumb, but woke twitter is annoying as fuck. Not everything is about getting it 100 percent right all of the time.
It's all good. Not that RIvlin is all that praise worthy. He's basically the Ben Sasse/John McClain to Bibi's Trumpism. Same party who let Bibi drag them so far right, occasionally voices the bare minimum criticism but ultimately does nothing about it.
Hear what you’re saying, but I wouldn’t say they attacked her. The two responses posted explained it pretty well actually.
Spoiler A former field director for the Nebraska Republican Party said he regretted posting thousands of comments to an online chatroom, including many that contained racial and homophobic slurs and anti-Semitic rhetoric. Bennett Bressman was identified as the person behind the username "bress222" in a server dedicated to fans of YouTube personality Nick Fuentes, a supporter of President Donald Trump who took part in the August 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that left a protester dead. "Yes, that was my profile," said Bressman, 22, in a phone interview Monday morning. "I'm not denying it. I understand how they look really bad and are really bad on their face. I regret what I said." More than 3,400 posts made by Bressman were collected by Unicorn Riot, a nonprofit media organization that discreetly gathers and leaks the chat logs of white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups operating within the U.S. The messages and the identity of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln political science student who published them between January and October 2018, appeared on a blog post maintained by Nebraska Antifascist Action on Sunday. Nebraska Antifa used photos posted by Bressman to the chat server, including one of the former GOP operative at a "Need to Impeach" event hosted by Democratic billionaire Tom Steyer in Omaha last June, as well as photos that also appeared on Bressman's Instagram account to confirm his identity. Bressman said he joined the chat server in order to gain access to a call-in show hosted by Fuentes before he became wrapped up in the jokes and tough talk of "toxic group chat." Among his posts, which include the use of explicit slurs referring to African-Americans and Jews, Bressman also posted to the chat: "gays are scum of the earth." "my whole political ideology revolves around harming journalists." "i wanted a crater in israel not israel on a crater." Bressman apologized for the comments on Monday, saying he wrote the posts on his own time and without the knowledge of the Nebraska GOP or Gov. Pete Ricketts, whose campaign he worked on until December. "When you think you have anonymity, it's easy to become desensitized to what you're saying," the senior at UNL said. "I regret what I said. They aren't indicative of who I am as a person." Bressman said despite his comments, he does not pose a threat, nor has he been contacted by law enforcement. Ricketts on Monday condemned Bressman's statements and said he was "shocked and horrified" to learn of them, adding he was unaware Bressman harbored those views. "I unequivocally denounce his hate-filled views towards Jewish people, LGBT people, African-Americans, journalists, women, and others," Ricketts said in a statement, saying he was particularly concerned about the anti-Semitic statements Bressman made online. "Anti-Semitism has no place in society no matter where it hides," he said. But the head of the Nebraska Democratic Party said the ideology espoused by Bressman online reflected similar discriminatory sentiments made by Ricketts' father, Joe Ricketts in email exchanges leaked last month. "A pattern has emerged from Ricketts' campaign staff and family email exchanges," said Jane Kleeb, the state Democratic Party chair. "Nebraska expects our leaders to speak out against hate and it is shocking the Republicans stay silent." Bressman said he has apologized to Ari Kohen, who he had as an instructor at UNL, for comments he made about a Jewish professor at the university, and also wrote to explain that his comments were not referring to the political science professor. Kohen, who described himself as one of the most visibly Jewish members of UNL's faculty, said he received the apology from Bressman on Monday. Kohen said he's concerned with the ease that the student fell into the chat server populated by those with extremist views. "If he wants to turn his life around, that's great," Kohen said, "but it's shocking to me we are at a place in 2019 where these are the things people get caught up in." The UNL professor also said he was concerned that Bressman appeared to hold those views while attending home Husker football games in the Ricketts' family box as well as managing two dozen interns during the campaign. "I don't think this guy is going to walk into my classroom with a gun," Kohen said, "but I don't know who he is talking to. He doesn't know either." For his part, Bressman said the white nationalist and neo-Nazi chatroom was "something I stumbled into and stuck around in" before having a change of heart. He said he closed the account several days before his identity was revealed on the Nebraska Antifa blog. "It makes me sick to my stomach to go back and read," he said Monday. "There's a big disconnect between those words and who I am. I am disgusted by them and a lot of what I said is sick and twisted."
Wait wait wait... What the fuck did they shift 900 million dollars to??? Did it all go to military spending?
She isn’t saying anything other than what they want her to say unfortunately they’ll pretend they don’t understand her so they can be outraged.
It’s only ever been about hurting the poor in the name of an extra buck. Greed knows no bounds. The irony of it is Trump’s bread and butter constituent is the poor dolt that couldn’t scrape together $1k for an emergency and they’ll have their pockets picked while state propaganda tells them it was the Democrats.
