    Spencer has ties to Stephen Miller, the key Trump advisor and co-author of the Muslim ban. Spencer is also the father of the term alt-right. Not insignificant.

    As a member of the Duke Conservative Union, Miller worked closely with Richard Spencer, a Ph.D. student who would later coin the term "alt-right" and become a leading white nationalist. Spencer told me that at Duke, Miller helped him with fundraising and promotion for an on-campus debate on immigration policy that Spencer organized in 2007, featuring influential white nationalist Peter Brimelow. Miller vehemently denied to me that he had any connection to Spencer or his ideas, but another former member of the Duke Conservative Union confirmed to me that Miller and Spencer worked together on the Brimelow event.

    Wall Street Journal reports Trump might have his tweets reviewed by his lawyers before posting them. 1. What fun is that? 2. Gonna be tough on the lawyers working the night and Fox and Friends shifts. 3. Not exactly the move of a man with nothing to hide.

    Miller is a cockroach. He makes Jeff Sessions look good by comparison, and that takes a helluva lot of doing.

    Because they're videos of propaganda selectively edited to elicit an emotional reaction instead of dealing with actual facts.

    Multiple Republican states have done investigations and not found evidence of wrongdoing by PP. Those videos are fake news.

    Besides, we've been told numerous times by Republicans and the NRA that emotions do not trump constitutional rights. That's all those videos are. Emotional propaganda.

    If PP officials joking about destroying babies doesn't elicit an emotional reaction out of you, I feel sorry for you. To go through life that cold. I can't imagine.

    Pretty sure I wouldn't lose sleep over it, since I know next to nothing about her.

    With the help of his fluffer, QY, YF is back to his tactic of stacking the sins, real or imagined, of every Democrat ever against Donald Trump.

    I must admit I knew nothing about Linda Sarsour until y'all brought her up. The bit about defending Sharia Law seems legit. The anti-Semitism? Got anything other than a badly-sourced article on the Fox News website? I'm not saying the evidence doesn't exist. I'm asking if you or QY can back up your claims about this leader of Liberals who is so powerful that many people to the left of you politically have never heard of her.

    So your standard is whether you "know" about someone? You do know she is an anti-Semite and supports an extreme religious doctrine that treats women (and gays) as subhuman. I guess that's not enough to make a firm decision on whether you should support her. But, hey, she doesn't support Trump. Yay!
