officers just came out and seized a handful of people. some of them it was for standing on this piece of sidewalk that is not sidewalk, it’s part of the property so they’ll nab you if you stand there

Btw this is a really good example of how people like Carroll use criticism of Israel to recruit progressives into the far right and to buy into open antisemitism.

A Democrat shares a video by one of America’s most notorious antisemites. He misses the very obvious antisemitic trope in the video. He then defends the share after people point this out to him.

Incredible stuff.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

If you ever stuck up for "ideological diversity ' or good faith debate or whatever and thought guys like Thiessen were part of that congratulations you are a huge sucker and Thiessen and the other conservatives are laughing at you now that they won.

And Ramaswaymy has NOTHING on them. He is utterly unequal to the task of fielding the most rudimentary questions of faith and theology and because he's running as a right-winger cannot push back on any of the bullshit that these children are spewing about the US being a Christian nation.

I think the worst part of this is how Vivek is just getting bodied here by the absolutely least informed most ignorant, self-styled "christians" imaginable. Children, really, who believe in god the way children believe in Santa Claus, and that is the juvenile faith Kirk and others have fomented.

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn't have a hotel room.
Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the office investigating Jack Smith, has recently been investigated for harassing a colleague, Politico reports.

From the bad old site, in response to pro-immigration commentary from Cato scholars. I wonder whether there's something dangerous in letting presidents just arbitrarily declare one or another group to be a terrorist organization -- nah, I suppose that's alarmist.

folks they’re calling each other mean names on twitter . . . they’re telling you to drive out to fight them at a park in the middle of the night and, let me tell you, they’re not showing up. oh no. and then they’re looking up your court records, and what they’re finding? it’s very bad.

Antifa is not a group; the president cannot designate domestic terror groups.
