Oh also....

“Ordering” companies....Add another one to the “if Obama had done this” list

 

Not that it is surprising, but it still sucks. Much better candidates in the primary field.

 

There’s a potential end to this where the state ends up controlling major industries and the MAGA cult ends up endorsing Communism.

It’s not the most likely, I’m just saying it is on the table.

 

Feel like this probably won’t go too well for us

We have to study her genes it's remarkable

A Penn Law Professor Wants to Make America White Again

During our conversation, which has been edited for length and clarity, Wax expounded on her beliefs that people of Western origin are more scrupulous, empirical, and orderly than people of non-Western origin, and that women are less intellectual than men. She described these views as the outcome of rigorous and realistic thinking, while offering evidence that ranged from two studies by a eugenicist to personal anecdotes, several of which concerned her conviction that white people litter less than people of color.

This interview is bananas.

 

Dear lord the mental gymnastics she does to defend Trump

Trump is someone who doesn’t seem to have much respect for science, or for women, or for these things you talk about as being the best parts of Western culture. And the fact is that the majority of white voters in this country seemed to embrace that. I was wondering if that made you think differently about what Western culture was, or that these things are malleable and changeable and not hardwired into us, and that things change with historical circumstances, and historical circumstances are what we should try to understand.

Well, first of all, the word “hardwired” I never have used. You put words in my mouth.

That was my word.

Yeah. It’s a dumb word. I mean, the President is impulsive, crude, boorish. He’s indecorous. That whole indictment is absolutely right. But, on the other hand, there are many things he says and does that I think are completely consistent with our core values. He engages in locker-room boasting about grabbing women, but, the fact is, he’s a serial monogamist but at least he’s gotten married. He’s never fathered a child out of wedlock.

Is that something you have research on?

Not that I know of. Maybe he has. I don’t know. But, anyway, he does believe in freedoms. He does believe in free speech. He does believe in democracy.

Did you say he was or wasn’t a serial monogamist? I just didn’t hear you.

He’s a serial monogamist. He’s been married several times.

You know he slept with a porn star during his current marriage?

Yes. That’s true, but he does at least get married. We have to give him that. I mean, everybody exemplifies some ideals and not others.

But, you know what? I just don’t want to go down the road of defending President Trump. He’s just one person. The real reason President Trump was elected, I think, to the extent I know anything about politics at all—and I know very, very little—is that a lot of people really were relieved to see someone stand up to the thought police of the progressive left wing.
