…and probably one who looked the other way while Thuggy Dougie dealt druggies:
Remember how Sinclair Lewis said that fascism would come to the US of Amnesia carrying a cross and wrapped in the flag? Well, here in Ontario, it came carrying a police baton and wrapped in one of Dougie’s old pot baggies.
And it’s all the more proof that crony capitalism and fascism are never more than a handshake apart.
This is right up there on a par with “a talking snake made me eat that apple”, isn’t it:
No, really. This is what he said:
“They didn’t believe it,” he noted. “Jeannie Rhee, one of the prosecutors, said, ‘Dr. Corsi, you are asking us to believe that on an extended international flight with your wife for an anniversary, you had divine intervention and God inspired your mind and told you [Julian] Assange has Podesta’s emails, he’s going to dump them in October and they’ll be dumped in a serial fashion? Is that what you’re saying?’”
“I said, ‘I guess that’s about what I’m saying,” he recounted.
“Did they give the impression they were upset with you?” Melber asked. “Did they raise their voice?”
“Yes, stormed out of the room,” Corsi replied.
And no wonder. That’s the most blatant bit of bullshit I’ve heard out of a right-wing whackjob in quite some time.
If he’s sincere, then he’s certifiable and really should be hospitalized for whatever delusional condition he’s suffering from. But since he IS a right-wing whackjob, and lying is par for the course with them all — chronically and pathologically, and even about dead men who can’t defend themselves — I don’t for an instant believe he should go to the mental house for that. He needs to go to the BIG house, and leave the mental hospital beds to those who actually need them.
And with a little help from Robert Mueller, I’m pretty sure he will.
D’aww, looks like Donnie’s having a rough time of it. Now why would THAT be?
Maybe it’s because his bankers got raided for financial skulduggery?
And his tax attorney, ditto?
Or maybe it’s how Mikey Cohen just turned on him and his junior henchmen — oh sorry, his children?
Orrrr maybe it’s the way the Wall St. Urinal accidentally called him “Vladimir”.
Well, whatever it was, it sure had him babbling like a drugged-out mofo all over the White House lawn:
Sounds like somebody has the real, unsexy kompromat on him. Something even more humiliating than the pee-pee tapes, if indeed they exist. Something that will make him look not like a rich and clever man, but a very impoverished, indebted, criminally-implicated fool.
No wonder he’s missing New York, where he got away with it for so long.
No, this is not a joke. He’s actually had a moment of some clarity here, even if he did come to it by a roundabout route:
Well, I did Nazi that coming.
All kidding aside, though, kudos to Ammon for doing his homework on this and thinking with something other than his reflex arcs. Now, if he’d only done the same when it came to his shit-trashing that bird sanctuary in Oregon…which, by the way, is PUBLIC property, and not for expropriation by private interests (such as, say, abusive ranchers like himself).
PS: Holy mack, it’s not a fluke. Apparently, Ammon’s dad, Cliven Bundy, as well as his brother, Ryan, agrees with him here! Has hell frozen over, or what?
Ah, Stevie Moulinex Food-Processor. How many ways IS your shiny pate a dim bulb? Let us now enumerate them:
1. Your anecdotal “evidence” of Poland being crime- and trouble-free is painfully thin.
2. Especially since your basis for all your claims was just a tourist jaunt. You didn’t actually bother LIVING there, did you?
3. The reason you heard no talk of white privilege is because nobody discusses such things with foreign tourists.
4. And anyway, do you even speak Polish, bro? I’m guessing you don’t. You’re not even that competent in English. You call yourself an “empiricist”? I think you need to look that word up. It does not mean what you think it means, namely “a tourist who thinks his pitifully few experiences in a country are somehow representative of that country as a whole”.
5. All the Poles who have migrated to the dangerous, decadent, multiracial west over the years strangely prefer that society over the one that birthed them. I’m sure that economic opportunity has nothing to do with it. (I’m also sure that an openness to strangers and outsiders couldn’t be the reason, either.)
6. If your hometown were suddenly to incur an influx of Polish immigrants and refugee claimants, you wouldn’t be embracing them as your white European skinfolk; you’d be complaining how “dirty” they all are, spitting on them, and demanding that they speak English. (As poorly as YOU do, even.)
7. And finally, I’m pretty sure that the Poles were more than happy when you left their land, too. The air undoubtedly smelled a lot less of bullshit, even in farm country.
Oh yeah, and here’s a bonus, from an actual Pole in the YouTube commentariat:
Ow! Looks like somebody’s gonna need some ointment for that.
Let’s be honest about one thing, right off the bat: This vehicular terrorist not going to get off on these hate-crime and murder charges. But man, do you ever have to admire his chutzpah:
James Alex Fields Jr., the Ohio man accused of killing Heather Heyer during last year’s white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, plans to argue he was acting in self-defense when he drove his car into a crowd of counterprotesters.
Fields faces 10 state charges, among them first-degree murder and malicious wounding, after authorities said he plowed his car into a crowd of people protesting a Unite the Right rally on Aug. 12, 2017. Dozens of people were injured. Heyer, 32, a legal assistant, was killed.
As jury selection in the trial got underway Monday, Fields’ attorney John Hill told a group of prospective jurors evidence will show that Fields “thought he was acting in self-defense.”
Fields, 21, has also been charged with 30 federal counts of hate crimes, which could result in the death penalty.
So. Why did I say he had chutzpah? Because his “thought he was acting in self-defence” claim doesn’t hold water in light of the facts:
Federal prosecutors described Fields as a Nazi sympathizer who has advocated violence against blacks and Jews on social media and who participated in chants promoting white supremacy and racist views during the Unite the Right rally, held to protest the planned removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
The indictment said that after the rally was dispersed, Fields drove to where the counterprotest was taking place in downtown Charlottesville and backed up to the top of a hill.
“Fields then rapidly accelerated, ran through a stop sign and across a raised pedestrian mall, and drove directly into the crowd, striking numerous individuals, killing Heather Heyer, and injuring many others,” the indictment said. “Fields’ vehicle stopped only when it struck another vehicle … He then rapidly reversed his vehicle and fled the scene.”
There is simply no way that he was “defending himself” against ANYTHING. No one was attacking him. He was the aggressor, and the crowd of people he deliberately ran into were the victims. And one of them died. Not of heart disease, as the flying monkeys of the far right claim, but of injuries sustained when he deliberately plowed into her. Even the videographer who caught it all on his cellphone says it was neither defensive nor accidental, but utterly deliberate.
And I, for one, can’t wait to hear this terrorist pronounced guilty.
Hey everybody, sorry I’ve been incomunicada lately, because my health’s been kind of low and I’ve been tired and achey and trying to rest. But hey! I’m back, and here’s the not-quite-latest thing that’s caught my jaundiced eye:
You don’t have to watch the whole 36-minute rambling shit thing if you don’t want (I know I didn’t), but yes, it’s true: Gammon, in between schmoozing for schmackeroos (let’s hope he doesn’t get any) has quit his own hate group:
Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes announced he is quitting the far-right group of “Western chauvinists” on Wednesday, claiming the move would help Proud Boys members facing assault and riot charges in New York City. “I am officially disassociating myself from the Proud Boys,” McInnes said in a video. “In all capacities, forever, I quit.” McInnes made the announcement a day after newly revealed police documents suggested that the FBI classifies the Proud Boys as an “extremist group.” Nine members of the group, along with some left-wing anti-fascist protesters, have been charged over an October attack that followed a McInnes speech in New York. Videos of the fight showed a large number of Proud Boys attacking a person on the ground and yelling homophobic slurs. “I’m told by my legal team and law enforcement that this gesture could help alleviate their sentencing” McInnes said. “Fine. At the very least, this will show jurors they are not dealing with a gang and there’s no head of operations.”
Oooooo, how ignominious. Remember how Gammon once swore up and down that the peebees would “never surrender”, right before he told the ones who beat up the protesters to give themselves up to the cops? Yeah, that happened.
And this was my response, more or less:
Yeah. Congrats, Gammon. Enjoy your brief moment of half-decent-personhood. I’m sure you’ll revert back to total fuckass soon enough. But for now, it’s been enjoyable to see you totally forced to walk back your Nazi-ass swagger and crawl a bit. When even The Beaverton is having trouble satirizing you, you know you’ve done (cough) good.
PS: A little late, but better than never, here’s Sam Seder’s hilarious takedown of Gammon and his white nonsense:
This is a painting of Donnie Drumpf, scoring a touchdown at football (with bone spurs!) against his Democratic (and Independent) opponents. But is it ART???
Well, I suppose it would be, if you stuck an F in front of it.
Yes. It’s FART.
Hey, white fundies! What’s the perfect gift for those kids you didn’t WANT to have, but were taught by some brimstone-belching preacher that you owed to your imaginary god and your equally imaginary race as expiation for your imaginary sins? THIS:
I can’t wait for the original Lego manufacturer to sue this ripoff maker.
And if that’s not rich enough for your blood (or that of your brats), how about Donnie Drumpf’s own board game? As of this writing, “it will only set you back about $80 US. No price is too great to pay for “patriotic” holiday boredom!
And yes, I said “holiday”, not “Christmas”. Don’t like it, snowflakes? Well, remember what you Cletuses all said to the rest of the world two years ago?
Yeah. Now it’s YOUR turn to fuck your feelings.
Hey, it’s bound to be the most action you’ve seen since your kids were conceived.
