US Politics Thread

Charlottesville six months into his presidency should have been a massive fucking clue about where his sympathies lie.

I take it you mean all those "fine people" chanting "Jews will not replace us".

For the affiliates amongst us, do we Brits need to move away from your elected politics and stick with our crazy form of economic structures.

Pretty sure his dad was arrested at a KKK rally in NYC.

How can these people call themselves Americans, this is not what I was brought up to expect from democracy?

One can only console oneself with the thought that these are under the control of paid shills of the Russian ruble. The poor education is a bigger concern.

Naw, this is what happens when you are so fundamentally paranoid about losing your base to someone else even more of a stringent fringer that you debase yourself completely to ensure even the worst of the worst will keep supporting you. Or, as you point out, you’re so fucking dumb that you yourself believe what comes out of your mouth. Like Greene.

Now Tucker Carlson — I believe there’s at least a chance that he’s been either paid or blackmailed by Russia. But he too is afraid of losing his gig to some new, bright shiny object.

It’ll be interesting to see if this type of stuff dissipates as Russian influence comes more under control.

The most satisfying news coming out of America is the seditious conspiracy convictions of Stewart Rhodes and Kelly Meggs. They and their three other co-defendants were also variously found guilty of other crimes. The sound of exploding heads around the trailer parks of America is a joy to hear.

Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes found guilty of seditious conspiracy over Jan. 6 riot

The verdict may serve as a preview for upcoming trials against other members of the far-right militia groups.

I assume they skipped math from kindergarten onwards.

Yes. Great result. I think they can get up to 20 years so hopefully they get the full whack.

And some sleepless nights for others who were just as involved. Lots more should follow.

Interesting article on the other America. You guys in the UK would know them as the Brexiteer.

House included paid sick leave for rail workers. Waiting on the Senate.
