People sit and listen to Ben Carson speak so the bar can't be too high.

Whatever gifts he has received in the field of neuroscience, and they are indeed ample, were not shared among his public speaking ability or skill in speaking on other non-brain related topics.

So essentially their looking for a figurehead to validate the rejection of rigid identity politics (i.e. "if you're female, brown, poor or ***, you MUST vote for Democrats"). Why do they always have to pick complete cretins like Milo and David Clarke? Just for the sake of novelty, or is it the shock value of the completely bonkers things they say and support?

Beats me. I find it more amusing that the Clinton/Trump vote may be split 95/5 (or whatever, I'm too lazy to look) but that's still one guy in twenty out of a population of ~35 million. But people act like it's like finding a unicorn to say "This black guy says Trump is keen" and hang on to him throughout almost any nonsense. The importance they place on these people only amplifies the other stuff. Just go find a different black guy!
That wouldn't work. You need to get kicked off of twitter first for the whole narrative to fit right, and finding a black guy who tweets coherently enough to offend people is harder that finding that unicorn.

I've used it in the past to argue that it was wrong to label insurgents fighting against US soldiers in Iraq "terrorists" as well. Yes, even when they plant IEDs.

Here? Maybe you have. Care to refresh my memory?
I checked forum search "gbaji/insurgent" and found zero threads containing anything even remotely close to this claim.


The search feature doesn't seem to go back past 2006 now. I'm reasonably certain I posted the word "terrorist" at some point prior to that. And yes, I'm also quite sure I stated on more than one occasion that insurgent fighters in Iran and even Afghanistan were not automatically "terrorists", just because they were fighting US troops, even if they were planing bombs on the roadside.

It's absolutely adorable you think there's no overlap.


I did not say there was no overlap, just that said overlap is not 100%. Not all hate crimes are terrorism. Surely you can agree with this?

Hence my admission of terrible search-fu, right?

In other news, John Boehner says that the GOP is never going to manage to repeal the ACA and will, at best, make very moderate changes while leaving the main framework intact.

In other, other news apparently Trump's BFF and editor in chief of Newsmax has said that it's time to dial back the media-as-the-enemy-of-the-people rhetoric.

That's strange. I don't think anyone has ever accused Newsmax of being the media.

The guy definitely has some misaligned wires, but that's an impressive bit of campaign merchandising.

I promise not say "but Obama did it!" for the next four years, but remember that time they excluded Fox News from press briefings?

It didn't last long then, and neither will this, and it's wrong when any administrations does it.

But for the last decade we were assured how it was the liberals that would do anything and everything to destroy the constitution and plunge us into anarchy while the conservatives were our last line of defense of all our constitutional rights!

Obviously it won't last, but much like the sudden onset symptoms of authoritarianism it certainly is amusing watching the reactions when it happens.
