People try to resist subpoenas all the time. If Trump just says no, what's Congress going to do about it? Take him to court? Impeach him? Make a big show of holding him in contempt and be ignored?

Doubt it, account's way too old to be that.

my only issue is that not only is sarcasm harder to detect on the internet, but even blatantly obvious statements like that are confusing because I've seen some people say some truly stupid shit along those lines with 100% seriousness before.

4 active posts? You're someone's alt, at least, but that doesn't mean you're MWC's alt.

As for your statement, I'll play along for a little bit, though I'm even more convinced now that you're not being serious.

The majority of terrorist attacks committed in the USA are committed by Americans. Anglo-Americans, at that. Thankfully, I don't subscribe to the notion that a group is responsible for the minority of violent offenders, otherwise I might suggest something insane like deporting all white people (myself included) to another country.

Yeaaahhh dragging it on for too long becomes tiresome XD Funny thing is, one of the first times I heard Trump talk about shit during his campaign I heard him mention the wall. My mind immediately jumped to the idea that it was a metaphor for tougher immigration policies and enforcement. But then I questioned whether Donald even knew what a metaphor was.

And then he told everyone that he literally wanted to build a giant wall along our entire southern border.

And people bought into this, thinking it would happen. smh

To be fair O'Leary dropped out, but due to doing it so late his name remained on the ballot and he still finished ahead of people.

Before he dropped out he was polling ahead of everyone, though was doing poorly among second choices. His reason for dropping out though was that he thought "his lack of French would mean he wouldn't be able to win against the Liberals in Quebec."

Thread on gang-units on police forces in regards to Portland's situation. Its main point hits here:

10. Question I would have for the Mayor @tedwheeler ? and that the press should ask him: Was the white supremacist in the gang database?

11. Because if not, I can't imagine more convincing proof that the "Gang" database is a racist farce that targets minorities.

12. Update. Though he had frequently attended marches, expressed "violent" white supremacist views, he was NOT in Portland's gang database. https://t.co/EXFtGwHQH8

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/05/hillary-clinton-life-after-election.html


Most interesting part to me:

The New York Times’ Glenn Thrush, who has reported on Clinton for years, tweeted “mea culpa-not so much,” suggesting that the former candidate “blames everyone but self.” Obama-campaign strategist turned pundit David Axelrod gave an interview claiming that while Clinton “said the words ‘I’m responsible’ … everything else suggested that she really doesn’t feel that way.” Joe Scarborough called her comments “pathetic”; David Gregory suggested she was not “taking real responsibility for the fact that she was not what the country wanted.” And in the Daily News, Gersh Kuntzman delivered a column that began, “Hey, Hillary Clinton, shut the f— up and go away already.”

...

The unusually prolonged pummeling is partly because Clinton’s Election Day loss was not just hers but the nation’s; her defeat this time left us not with an Obama presidency but with an out-of-control administration led by a man so inept — and so reviled — that even (some) Republicans are voicing concerns. The nation is grasping for a way to understand how we got here, and blaming Clinton wholly and neatly takes the heat off everyone else who contributed: from the critics who derided her supporters as empty-headed shills to those supporters who were cowed into secret Facebook groups; from the journalists who treated Trump as a ratings-pumping sideshow and Clinton as the suspiciously presumptive president to all of us who permitted cheerful stories about America’s progress on gender and race to blot out the real and lingering inequities in this country.



I think it's a pretty good about why Clinton continues to be so hated. People who regret voting for Trump, and people who didn't vote for Trump but wished less people did, want a scapegoat. And rather than admit that the country as a whole fucked up big time, it's easier to scapegoat Clinton. Because if she's such an awful canditate who deserves so much ire, then it makes it easier to justify so many people voting against her. Because it was a close, difficult choice, and voting Trump was reasonable at the time. That's easier to swallow than a large portion of the country being some combination of dumb, racist, and/or sexist.

Interesting points, but I don't think it necessarily follows that a person that is a white supremacist is in a gang. Attending marches is not enough evidence to prove someone is in a gang. Gangs have official memberships.

He was also strange in terms of consistent political views. He supported Bernie last year, posted things criticizing Trump for his racism, posted long rambling rants about male circumcision, along with dozens of other crazy things. I'm not saying he is definitively not involved in gang activity, and white supremacist groups obviously need to be monitored similarly to other gangs, but it would also not surprise me to find out he was a crazy loner, inspired by the hateful ideology and going to their events but not involved with other white supremacists.
