Lol just listening to the talk, and it sounds like no one wants him there, and just asking questions that show how much of a racist this guy is.

That is the best part about Spencer, he is a total doof and failure at every other part of existence. His 39 years on the planet have been just a series of failures. The only thing he can peddle is hate. And he can only do that by threatening to file a lawsuit against anyone who says he isn’t worth the time and money. Because he is a loser.

Turned on the stream. An audience member was asking annoying questions and Spencer did his best to weasel his way out of answering. Turned off the stream.

Gov Scott did that so the university could get reimbursed for the security costs and they could make sure they had enough people. No one wants Spencer there, but they have to allow him there by law.


But surprisingly somehow they don't have a responsibility over who is allowed to attend/cover the event. It's always very odd to me where the 1st amendment ends in these sort of things (hint it always seems to be right after the white supremacists get their way).

Haha yeah. That happens a lot when people try to ask gotcha questions or introduce themselves and ramble on about something dear to them without even asking a question. Also it ain't the easiest thing to speak publicly without some form of experience, especially with a microphone too close or too far away.

He just said "peaceful ethnic cleansing." But he's a white man in a suit speaking in a calm voice, so he's being reasonable.

The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

Turns out Democrats really enjoy being losers.



Ousted and demoted DNC veterans reportedly include Ray Buckley, James Zogby, Alice Germond and Barbra Casbar Siperstein, the network reported, adding that a common thread linking many of them is their support of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), who ran against Perez for the chairmanship.

Buckley, who ran against Perez for the top DNC role before endorsing Ellison, was pushed out of his positions on the DNC's Executive Committee and Rules Committee, NBC News reported.

"I understand the chair can do as he pleases, but still, it's all just very disappointing," Buckley told the news outlet.


Remember this is with Donna Brazile (admitted cheater) being ON the rules committee. The DNC is just hopeless.

This is the same pattern as one we've seen time and time again: you either get behind the establishment wing (and its current leader), or after they lose you can expect to be part of the purge. But evidently that doesn't win votes.

So is it party policy to blame Sanders for the election then?
That's delusional.

The House Democrats seem like a hot mess that can’t get over petty infighting. But I don’t know if it was always like that, because the Republicans have the same problem.

There is going to be a faction of democrats that will always believe that or be mad about it. And if one of those has control over committee, they might be a petty bitch.

Or maybe in charge of the whole party (as much as a petty faction can be)

If the 80+% of Democrats that back Bernie's ideas* chose them over the party, that faction would come running, tail tucked between their legs, but too many people continue to embrace the shitfest that is the Democratic party establishment.

It doesn't matter how petty you are, if you look at the whole election campaign and make a genuine decision to believe that Sanders was to blame for the dems losing you are not in touch with reality.
You Americans need at least one political party with some roots in the real world.

As if we haven't been at this exact location in a Trump 72 hour news cycle shit fest once a week for the last 7 months before.

Stage 1: something horrible Trump says comes out, it demeans the Office of the Presidency and reveals his despicable character
Stage 2 (~12 hours): cultists pretend it is fake news until more confirmation (it was a Democrat who said it!)
Stage 3 (~18 hours): DJT lies about substance of statement
Stage 4 (~24 hours): further eyewitnesses come forwards contradicting DJT (cultists play epistemological games and pretend we haven't had this cycle before [WE ARE HERE])
Stage 5 (~48 hours): DJT confirms original statement in hate tweet
Stage 6 (~72 hours): anti-anti-Trump attacks media for focusing on terrible thing Trump says and cultists wash whole thing from their memory


We are minutes from Stage 5.

John Kelly confirmed Rep. Wilson and the Widow's account of the conversation.
