Carlson is smart, he’s evil, but smart. I don’t say this to praise him but because he recognizes the way the wind is blowing and that it is now time for him to be the “reasonable conservative” to save face when the reckoning for this admin comes.

Politics is about getting closer to the ideal you want. Double Hitler certainly has a lot of problems but if you can’t see that he is one Hitler less than triple Hitler, you have no right to complain when Triple Hitler wins.

The messages indicate that he was in a pretty tame and moderate friend group, and every one was surprised. I'm not sure what's confusing about the messages, though, unless you were expecting a clear manifesto or party affiliation. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

I found out about the US capturing Bin Laden in a WoW BG chat.

I think Microsoft might have the power to delete comments. I tried to make my own comment and respond to another with skepticism, mentioning them retracting claims in the past, and they are both gone now.

Right-wing populism coopts the language of populism but works with the rich against the workers in reality. This is should surprise no-one who saw this with co-opted socialist movements a century ago, where they claimed to fight for a national socialism. Once you realize that it makes a lot of sense
