The Village Message Board
Its authenticity was discredited because of his reputation, but also because he was quick with gin at the time and wearing an item of knitwear back to front.

“So it was, on that misty morning, that Brenda set off for the capital. She knew not what she would find there, only that the time had come to move on - away from small-minded rural attitudes and people who called her ‘Oreo’ and ‘the wide panda’ - to seek a more fulfilling life.”

MAGA has birthed an even more dangerosly radical faction. In order to continue to be electorally popular, J.D. Vance is going to have to toe a crazy line in order to win the hearts and minds of the little Frankensteins he has helped to create.
Chasing monsters is no way to foster virtuous ideals.

In addition to being straight-up Nazi rhetoric, the "undocumented immigrants caused the housing crisis" lie seems designed to drive me, personally, insane.

Today in my masters Homeland Security course, we talked about how the Trump admin rescinded the near-prohibition on immigration enforcement in places of worship that had been in place since 1993.

Do political science profs have to explain to their students that, for most of American history, it was actually borderline unthinkable that elected officials and their spokespersons would constantly talk like trashy reality show contestants?
After calling Schumer a "Palestinian," Leavitt refers to "Gavin Newscum." So she's just ripping off her boss's smears now.

When you know, without a doubt in your mind, that cruelty is the point..
When you hear a godless message..
When you see justice flatly ignored..
When you see a man who will not only follow orders blindly, but will take pleasure in doing so..
Then you have heard, seen, and known Bovino.

Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

Tucker Carlson has hosted Hitler apologists on his show. Now he says Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor who tried to kill Hitler, was not being Christian. He isn't making a theological argument. He's just morally inverting World War II and the Holocaust, to make space for their villains to rise again.
