Right. Team red managed to realign under a set of shared values. Those values are fucking awful, but they did it. No reason we can’t too, with hopefully better values - though it would be hard to do worse.


What’s the alternative? Voting for the next version of Trump directly? I’m all for changing our system, but as it stands the only real viable options are team Trump, and Team Mightnotdoenough. I am not thrilled with the latter either, but it seems less than ideal to let the perfect be the enemy of the less bad.


That feels like a bit of a goalpost shift. The comment I replied to was already comparing the sadism of Israelis and Nazis. To be clear, I wasn’t defending Israel, and I wasn’t even saying that what the Nazis did was worse. I specifically said I’m not sure. I didn’t take your initial point to imply certainty either. My point was just that the Nazis were hardly slouching in the sadism department themselves.
I’m not aware of Nazis shooting children in that particular way, you’re right. But I’m also unaware of an Israeli equivalent of Mengele. So I’m not really sure where we actually disagree here.


I’m not sure about that. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/children-during-the-holocaust
And while he was just one guy, look up Mengele as well - what he did to twins in particular.


I read it as they were agreeing with you, but it was definitely a bit awkward.
I assume he meant that they cost more for manufacturers to produce.
When I mentioned this to my dad, he complained that his social security might be reduced in the next few years
Oh, that thing we probably aren’t even going to get? Sounds rough.


I like to think he’s so desperate to honor himself because he knows history won’t.


It would not surprise me if we didn’t, but even if we did it doesn’t matter anymore. Rules are for the proles, not the parasite class.


Dungeon Defense is like 2 bucks, and is a pretty fun one.


I’m not sure he’s worried about that at all, though I hope it’s the case he should be. I think it more likely he wants less cameras around when he does Nazi salutes.


Bipartisan? So what’s wrong with it?


CSPAN stream is still up, for anyone still interested. The actual removal is going to be obscured by a tarp though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZfkRJXVPx8


They are also clearly planning to obstruct the view of the work with those tarps. That’s very disappointing.


When I posted the link I thought we were pretty close to seeing letters come down. Now I am starting to think we’re about to find out the answer to that.


I am not sure why they take so long. They have been erecting the scaffolding, but they keep pausing in between. I am still enjoying a bit of schadenfreude just from watching the scaffolding pieces get put up though.


But what happens if he just does it anyway?
It thinks I really, really like Japanese curry.
And it’s goddamn right.
