The british involvement in the slave trade was disgusting. Vast wealth was created from it.

Some deserve credit for seeking to end it on moral grounds. Wiberforce for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wilberforce

When we talk about reparations, it's the UK as well. e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...reparations-qa

If the Trump presidency never becomes as bad as the Bush presidency, it will only be because Trump is so much worse at being president than Bush.

Well Bannon's never getting fired.

Trump already figured out Bannon was a leaker, but now it's public info. Hmmm.

This seems too easy. Is he that dumb? I'm not buying it.

I'm starting to maybe think that you guys just work in advertising and are not really this clueless.

But yeah, the DNC bizarrely running ads against a guy who got more than twice as many votes as his closest challenger and hasn't even yet announced he's seeking reelection in an election 15 months away would be worse than stupid. Ads aren't this magical potion you think they are. 99.99% chance any NFL week 1 off election year ad blitz (or anti Corker ad without knowing who the dem nominee even is) would be the same as lighting your very very limited funds on fire.

If this was a fair chart, there'd be a **** ton more hoods than just trump.

Wait for it...

"He'll be fired tomorrow"

Anyone else literally lol at this? I mean, maybe Kristol knows something I don't, but like, I don't see a scenario where Donald Trump can understand why this undermines the foreign policy of the US government, let alone a scenario where he cares about it.

i lol'd. he just bent over backwards to appease the brightbart crowd

fyp

That article is a plant imo.

I'm talking more foundational pillars of the US democracy. Trump is chipping away at institutions and norms that no previous president has come remotely close to. I think there's very real and very lasting damage there.

I understand though that it's not as concrete as many of the actions the Bush administration took. So certainly it's reasonable to say that Bush was worse. But I think it's debatable.

There HAS been a definite uptick during Obama's administration and especially during The Trumpening.

You're not actually simply imagining racism being over, but it was more like racism had reached the point of climate change in terms of a general consensus, or at least was leaning in that direction. It's real, it's bad, and hey, somebody ought to do something about it. It was a small window.

And, the parallels to how climate change is viewed NOW can't be overlooked either.

I think its safe to say that Kistol never knows anything. He's just freerolling...nobody is gonna care in 24 hrs cuz lol Kristol. .1% chance he just gets lucky and

Would you rather be served with a Grenache or a Cabernet?

re the Trump/Bush debate I think Trump has already been worse for the US domestically than Bush was. Globally, it's kind of hard to overlook the Iraq War among much else (other wars, the GFC, etc).

The triggerage behind seeing certain people DENOUNCING the nazi and KKK dudes has me in orbit this past week. Like, don't tell me about values, you voted for Fat Hitler.

This was a really good episode, but I really would have liked to see some coverage of Antifa and the Anarchists. Anyone know of any vids on them from Charlottesville? A casual search of youtube is all right wing propaganda in regards to Antifa.

I was suggesting running the ads during the election campaign. I figured anyone reading it would infer that, because, you know, it's common senes.

The state is not impossible to win, even though it's been a long time since Gore was a senator there. Obviously they'd need to find a good candidate.

But if a Democrat admitted to meeting with Soros on video like that, the right would go bat**** crazy, run wall to wall ads from September through November 2018, and probably try to use it against the whole Democratic Congressional Caucus.... There's hay to be made here, if Democrats are smart enough to do it.

Without accounting for the gaffe, this is the fifth easiest Republican seat to flip based on Cook PVI behind Heller, Flake and Cruz (obviously there's a huge drop off from second to third).

Actually it's not

Enslaving someone is taking away their freedom and rights

Abortion is removing some cells

You said they were dumb not to pounce. Not that they should wait 13 months them start running ads, provided we have a decent candidate, but don't otherwise. The latter is common sense, but I'm obv not going to infer that you understand it. Those ads won't get made because its a waste of money to blow a ton of DNC money against a pretty popular incumbent, not because dem strategists are dumber than dumb forum posters.

It would make for a very boring Vice episode unless it was entirely done during an action. Just go to a meeting yourself. Maybe Black Rose Anarchist Federation would be the best place to meet these people, but anything with Anarchy and a lot of things Marxist or socialist or there are other anti-fascism groups too.

Just scroll alt-right twitter feeds. There's tons of videos they think bolster their cause. They really like to assert that something is happening in the video which is completely not obvious.

Cernovich said someone hit the Challenger with a bat, when it's obviously a shirt or something, and happened after the Challenger was already driving super aggressive into the crowd.

There's video leading up to the guy who got beat in the parking lot. There were some pretty serious skirmishes leading up to it. But then the narrator asserts that a nazi got knocked out cold with a baseball bat and nothing like that is happening. Then he goes on to them beating the black kid.

I mean Bush presidency was worse, but Trump is a much worse president. Could you imagine would happen in a Trump America if a 9/11 & housing market crash happened?
