Technically, he wasn't a boy molester so much as an enabler of boy molesting. Does that make him a sleazy, dishonest, moron? 100%.
David Remnick is great, in general, but it's hard to see the point of this article, having been written 6 years ago. It just seems like more of the same, and the same.
Michael Moore is desperate to remain relevant. He had his day, he was important at one time, but it's past. He was never a particularly astute political analyst, his glory was about the environment and business.
Trump has zero chance of being re-elected. These endless articles and speculation about him are just clickbait and fill the need to provide content for the 24/7 news cycle.
Some people are saying that it's boring and we should get on to the next thing. And let the wheels of justice continue grinding.
Or, as the great philosopher (and convicted rapist), Mike Tyson, said, "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth".
But I'm sure it's very cool with you that Grassley just got re-elected at age 89.
We can go back and forth about this forever, I think. My bottom line is that I believe overuse of a word, like Nazi, serves to diminish the impact of the history of the word and what it represents. If every evildoer is a Nazi, then who is a Nazi?
It's sort of like black people using the N word, but in reverse. They are partially de-stigmatizing something painful from the past by its use, and I don't want to see that happen with Nazi. The word, in my opinion, should continue to serve to represent a singular atrocity.
Maybe the people you describe can be called "psychopathic shit heads", I think that pretty well describes them. The KKK weren't Nazis and neither was Idi Amin or Mao, they were crazy, murderous, another word. Stalin was a fascist dictator who killed 3M Ukrainians but he fought the Nazis.
Oh, boo freakin hoo. Obama was treated at least as badly as Trump, as was Clinton, and they accomplished actual stuff. Without everyone they appointed pleading guilty of crimes. Without self dealing tax payer money to enrich themselves. Without their kids making $100M by cutting private deals with murderers.
Without trying to extort some foreign leaders and being played by other foreign leaders and having America lose status around the world. Without trying to overturn elections and causing people to lose faith in our democracy. Without believing Putin over their own intelligence agencies.
Your points, such as they are, are unsupported by reality. But you can think anything you want, dear.
mistake
Sorry, I hadn't previously heard of him. But sure, if someone is a self-proclaimed Nazi, then they are a Nazi. Even though the ADL in this article describes him as a neo-Nazi, which I guess is sort of a term for a wannabe Nazi.
Regardless, we should take him at his word and be very wary, also, of the "Jews will not replace us" crowd, whatever terms are used to describe them.
There was a video circulating a couple of days before Halloween this year of a guy in full Nazi uniform going into a famous bar in Soho, Fanelli's, (which I used to frequent, back in the day.) Troubling times, indeed.
So, when Trump, or another one of your guys, is photographed with someone, you're fine with them falling back on the excuse that they don't know everyone they're photographed with at an event. Which is legit.
But when Maxine Waters is, then she must be complicit in some shit, amirite?
Your insinuation is maximally lame.
(it's hard to understand whether you actually believe this sort of crap or if you're just trying to rile up the libs - I would understand if it's the latter, riling people up. But if you really do believe it, you might want to stay out of anything consequential in your life that requires critical thinking)
They are terrible people, all of them, but not Nazis, in my opinion. Like I wrote, I believe Nazi is a word with historic specificity. Were the KKK Nazis, too? Were American pioneers who brutally murdered Indians, Nazis?
What you guys are proposing is like what American conservatives do by labeling anyone they hate and disagree with as a Communist or Socialist.
Stephen Miller is one for the ages. He's a Sonderkommando, maybe, but no Himmler. Yet. (there are unflattering photographs of everyone).
Not all fascists are Nazis. Not all white supremacists are Nazis, etc. Terrible, evil people, sure, but not Nazis. I don't think, for example, you would call Strom Thurmond a Nazi, or Putin one, either. Stalin was a fascist who fought the Nazis.

Nazi isn't a generic term applicable to these sorts, it has historical specificity.
The danger, in my opinion, is that if we just start calling unpleasant people Nazis, the word loses its power in the same way that calling any murderous dictatorial leader a Hitler does.
I've never heard Pol Pot described as a Nazi or a Hitler.
We come at this from different perspectives, I get that, never mind.
Please don't degrade the memory of the real Nazis by calling people you don't like, Nazis.
Nazis are not like red ants at your picnic. They do genocide and make people work as slave laborers.
I was always pissed at Seinfeld for his Soup Nazi episode, he and Larry David should have known better.
It's kind of like the people who think it's cool to wear a Mao pin. It's not.
No such thing as an actual free market and I'm not sure you want there to be one.
Stock market will find a newer, much lower, bottom when these idiots default on government debt.
He's a nasty piece of work, deserves a lot of credit for the ultra negative tone that's been permeating government since, well, him.
I worked with him one time, post his career in Congress. I forget which wife he was on, then, but he was affable enough, much larger in size than I had realized.
Who was it who said that he's a dumb person's idea of a smart man?
I'm going to count on it because your investments in stuff like VERB (nice 6 month chart, by the way) indicates a firm grip on all things financial.
You and the other penny stock clown, Conix, would be better served going to Vegas and losing your money there, in one fell swoop.
That was some genius forecasting, by the way, seeing inflation coming last year, especially as the full effects of Trump's tariffs kicked in and the Kushner pals in the Middle East slowed oil production.
Why it's going to get worse, you leave without explanation, but I'm sure we all believe you are correct, because, hey, you and everyone else on the planet said it was coming last year.
Maybe cite one other time in the history of mankind that inflation hasn't been transitory, it's as if you don't know the meaning of the world.
They can impeach Biden all they'd like, but with the D's controlling the Senate it will just be a waste of time.
The big worry, for me, right now, one of them, is the process of raising the debt ceiling. The conservative R's seem so stupid that they don't know it's for money already spent and claim it means they need to cut the budget.
Meanwhile, if the debt ceiling isn't raised, the US economy goes into default and it will not be a pretty sight.
Yeah, except Thomas and HIS harridan are on the same side, whereas Conway and Kellyanne supposedly are not. Basically, not to stereotype or anything, but all of them are lying pieces of shit.
Follow the money, these are people without core ethical values.
He and his harridan wife are just doing the updated version of Carville and Matalin - it's all about the Benjamins.
Conway was on Paula Jones' legal team and worked to destroy the Clinton presidency. Sure, he's been stating the right (and obvious) things about Trump, but I'd trust him as far as I can throw him.
He, apparently, will jump on any bandwagon that pays and keeps him relevant.
And go back before them to the Birchers, who were the original Q-anon type conspiracy lunatics, with very deep pocketed supporters.
I recently read up on various conservative figures' comments during both Obama campaigns and the racism was overt and astonishing. And, Palin set the plate for Trump by repeatedly insisting that certain people were the "real Americans". The harm she did to the political system is horrific, her speech gave cover to the worse sorts of bigots.
The Republican playbook has been to coddle the racists and religious fanatics to insure their base votes, for at least the past 60 years.
Nixon teamed up with Strom Thurmond to block Wallace, and Reagan campaigned for overtly segregationist candidates in various places around the country. He was way further to the right than is commonly remembered and welcomed the support of Falwell and Robertson, both completely insane by any objective measures..
So, when you lie down with dogs. We'd like to think the country has moved on beyond that, especially with Obama having won twice, but, sadly, that's not the case.
As an aside, I'm thinking that maybe that rocket that landed in Poland the other day was fired at Israel by Hamas.
During his gold escalator announcement of some years ago, the lobby of his building was seeded with paid actors. It's very possible he can no longer afford to do that.
He's running for the money, of course. Campaign contributions will start rolling in and he'll start illegally diverting a good chunk of them to his personal accounts.
He's the leader of aggrieved, White Nationalist America and no one else. He's the culmination of 70 years of Republican candidates' refusals to disavow unsavory groups to gain their support. Ike refused to repudiate McCarthy and the Birchers and those tactics have gained momentum ever since.
I'm looking forward to him challenging the results of primaries he loses and the subsequent implosion of the Republican Party.
ok, got it. You didn't answer any of my questions and offered no ideas - actually, it's lightweights like yourself who are the problem.
I mean, how are you going to force women to testify against powerful men who raped them 15 or 20 years ago? Just read (or, I guess, wait to watch it on television) about what defense attorneys are currently doing to Newsom's wife about Weinstein in that trial.
Wouldn't you like your children to have to endure something like that if you were on the witness stand?
It's more than a little difficult to understand what your point is. You think she's either protecting people or is afraid that if she gave names she'd be found dead from suicide in her jail cell? Or you think that since no one else is being prosecuted that it's all a hoax of some sort?
You've boiled this down to what I believe is referred to as, reductio ad absurdum. Regardless, if she gives names, then trials must ensue and women will have to testify against their childhood abusers.
And why do you think the trafficked girls aren't coming forward to name names, either? I'm guessing it's because many of them are now mothers and don't want to put their families through the horrors of being prosecution witnesses at sex abuse trials. So they've taken sizable payoffs and signed NDAs and who can blame them.
She's in jail, Epstein's dead, Andrew is humiliated, the girls have hopefully been amply paid, sometimes you just have to let sleeping dogs lie, even if they're rabid. Unless, of course, you're convinced this is some sort of Clinton Crime Family shenanigans, in which case you are, in fact, seriously dumb.
I believe he's suggesting that powerful men, like Bill Clinton (and Paul Pelosi, no doubt), have avoided prosecution in this situation. It's a fair point, but one that was poorly stated and also doesn't mention Trump's expressed love of underaged girls. Or what happened to Prince Andrew, one of the most protected men on the planet.
It also showed a healthy ignorance about the way criminal proceedings actually proceed in this country.
Why is nobody in jail but Ghislaine? Must be a conspiracy to protect Bill Clinton, for sure, like the way he got away with drug smuggling at the Mena Airport and killing Vince Foster. Ask Prince Andrew how it's going these days, if he wasn't protected, who was?
You know that I'm not hiding Trump? The guy who famously barged in on underage girls getting dressed at a beauty show he was sponsoring? Who said that Epstein, like himself, liked young women?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-called-epstein-a-terrific-guy-before-denying-relationship-with-him/2019/07/08/a01e0f00-a1be-11e9-bd56-eac6bb02d01d_story.html
The local news never reported cops body cams showing Pelosi opening the door. That's bullshit and you know it. That would have meant that the cops were there when he opened the door, right? That's just too stupid to think about.
Regardless, by spreading malicious lies, you have lain down with dogs and have lost whatever slim bit of credibility you hallucinated you previously had..
The following craziness is brought to you, by you:
"Just as an example the "authorities" won't release the surveillance or body camera tapes from the Paul Pelosi assault. Why not? The only reason not to is that what's there renders irrevocably false the story told thus far."
You wrote that and expect to be taken seriously ever? It's very hard to imagine why you would participate in spreading innuendo / lies along these lines, and, equally important, what is your freakin' point?
Thanks. Biden nailed it a couple of weeks ago when he read out the names of some R Congress people who voted against the infrastructure plan then asked for money after it passed. And then were willing to take credit for securing the money.
Do they have any ideas? It's a mystery as to why a bunch of people who hate government want to run it. I guess for the power and $$$ and, for many of them, being too stupid to be able to succeed in the business or non-profit sectors. I mean, how far up the corporate ladder would a numbskull like Jim Jordan be able to climb?
The lunacy of the Republican party has been steadily building since the McCarthy era. And now, as its logical conclusion, the inmates are truly running their asylum.
Tom Tomorrow is, and has been for a while, a national treasure, thanks for re-posting.
In New York State, Democrats far and wide ran terrible campaigns, from Hochul on down.
It's a measure of how repugnant Republicans are now perceived that the D's were nevertheless able to defend and win some new seats.
The Republican brand is shot. That they could make no headway in the face of Biden's (undeserved) unpopularity tells you how bad things have become for them.
They propose no ideas to help the economy, or for infrastructure, or for health care reform, or to curb gun violence. Anyone who's been on a train in Europe in the past few years, knows well how far behind in public transportation we've become. All because of Republican obstructionism in Congress.
As long as they keep pushing to curb women's reproductive health care rights, condemn climate change and environmental issues as unimportant, have fealty to the NRA, offer no potentially bipartisan solutions to anything, condone militias, and continue to attempt to limit access to voting, their party is in a well deserved death spiral.
Conservatives in America have been bellyaching about the curriculum in public schools since the Reagan era.
CRT is just the latest ploy in their tireless efforts to discredit the very concept of public schools as they push for more religion, i.e., Christianity, as the educational context for children.
They're just continuously throwing stuff up against the wall, hoping something will stick. CRT, grooming children to be trans, whatever, it's a worthless din.
Meanwhile, I think the most interesting development on this board, in the while I've been here, has been the total disappearance of those few people (the same person?) who were relentlessly pushing Putin's talking points about the disaster of all things Biden, the waste of aiding Ukraine, and the inevitable Red wave.
Some military analysts who I've heard interviewed recently, thought that Putin's last great hope to win his war was for the R's to take Congress and cut off funding for Ukraine.
After the Biden victory, you guys were complaining that more people voted in some states than are registered. Of course it was proven false but Trump is still blathering on with that narrative.
Now you're complaining that not enough people vote, which has actually been the case all along. Hey, if you want your vote counted, vote. After 2 or 3 years of your Dear Leader casting doubts about the validity of elections, without a shred of proof, are you really surprised that many in his cult decided it's not worth voting?
I guarantee that women voted, look at how the Handmaiden votes went in those states. If your guys won't get out the vote then shut the fuck up, you have no one to blame but yourselves.
Otherwise, if you have a point, I'm not getting it.
And don't forget that old favorite, tax fraud. Letitia James is formidable and not messing around.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
What happened to those few guys who were posting here regularly, continuously, about they joy they were finding in looking forward to the inevitable red wave?
No sign of them today, maybe they're sick, their stomachs ache from having eaten so much shit yesterday.
We held off Zeldin in NY, which is a major deal, but I guess too many oldsters stuck by DeSantis. Glad to see it looks like Lake will lose, she's a scary one, as is another loser, Walker. And Oz. In other good news, Palin is down over 20% in Alaska.
And speaking of old ladies, where are the ones who were smirking around here about an inevitable red wave? Reality has a way of biting you in the ass, doesn't it? Just ask Dear Leader.
Anyone see the article, with photos, of DeSantis partying with high school students when he was their teacher? A man of sterling character, for sure - please let him be the Republican nominee in 2024.
Written by someone who finds Tucker credible, too funny. Even the Fox network has claimed in court that his program isn't fact based.
Sticks and stones, dude, grow up.
I think we can all notice that you actually didn't refute my theory that you live no where near any border and your life hasn't been impacted at all by immigration.
But keep going with the baseless scare tactics and name calling, characteristics of a not-stupid person, amirite?
mistake
All those filthy immigrants, bringing fentanyl and getting ready to rape your women and take your job picking vegetables.
Let me guess, you live at least 1000 miles from the border and your life hasn't been impacted by immigration at all.
But the brown people! They're going to replace us! (and a good thing that will be)
