    The NYT cast its linguistic lot with Trump today. This was the lede, with the death not deemed important enough to mention until two grafs later.

    Unite the Right organizer gets a police escort out of town. Remember when the people of Ferguson had guns trained on them when they protested? Cool.

    @YankeeFan thinks it's enough to call these alt-right assholes "repugnant." Would that it were. The problem is, in 2017, if the wrong person calls them "repugnant," they'll adopt it as a badge of honor. (See: "Deplorable.") The speech in question IS assault. It IS a threat. It IS yelling "fire" in a crowded theater. I'd love to think that if we ignored them, they'd go away. But I don't think that's true anymore.

    Good book on the permanent underclass in this country.

    The new reality is the angry white man now expects to be carried, and knows he has a champion in the White House.
    (A person who is even dumber, angrier and more indolent than he is.)
    These people have not gotten their shit together for 400 years, and now they are deciding our federal elections.
    Yesterday's events confirmed what I have expected all along - they would kill us if they could.

    If you have written a single sentence in defense of Trump's refusal to condemn the alt-right, you need to read this article and see what it is that you're defending. The headline reads "Heather Heyer: Woman Killed in Road Rage Incident was a Fat, Childless 32-year-old Slut".

    Read it. Own it. This is what you're defending. If you have any decency, get a puke bucket first.

    Better yet: Don't. Don't click on this shit. Don't give it any traffic. Don't legitimize it.

    "I'm not gonna say it. You can't make me say it. Send some flunky out there if you want a fucking statement. Nyaahhh!"

    Ordinarily I would agree, but if you don't read it you can't understand how awful it truly is. Yes, "Killed in Road Rage Incident" is a pretty strong clue, but this piece is utter filth, the hateful trashing of a young woman killed by a terrorist. For instance, the author says it was her fault that she was killed because she was too fat and slow to get out of the way.

    I don't need to see video of a girl getting run over by a car to know it's bad. And these assholes hold up likes and shares and traffic numbers as evidence that people agree with them. Don't.

    I don't pick up dogshit off the sidewalk and inspect it.
    Stuff like this is to be averted.
    If you don't have a dim view of humanity by now you haven't been following the news the last decade or so.

    So that's what they were pointing to in all those murals?
