Here's Trump judicial nominee Justin Olson today, admitting than in 2015, he gave a sermon in which he said that “marriage was not intended for all people,” including “our handicapped friends or our persons with physical disabilities that might prevent the robust marriage that we’re called to.”

Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

This one is deeply local. Goffe, Whalley and Dixwell were judges who signed King Charles’ death warrant. They had to go under hiding on West Rock. There’s a cave up there called Judges Cave. There’s a trail up there called the Regicide Trail.

vance to his kids: “it is okay to tell your friends you love hitler as long as you don’t get caught”
It's telling that Vance's first instinct following the Politico leak was to tell his sons to be wary of what they write in group chats--to assume “some scumbag is going to leak it in an effort to try to cause you harm.”

His message here is basically--be racist; just don't get caught.

Based on what we know now the shooter was a registered Republican, came from an extra conservative part of Utah, and swam in the deep deep end of internet memes.

Most of these people wind up having confusing or uncertain ideology.
