Elon will pay off his own fines or Trump's fines?  

[1984Echoes]

Trump's.

He's buying influence.

Or at least he thinks he is...

I regret to inform you that our battle against the lunatics has entered a new phase.  The GOP is addicted to crazy or even evil African Americans

in the full quote he's not actually against suffrage, but it's still a terrible statement in toto. He's basically saying the GOP was better when they were fighting for people's rights (e.g suffrage) in the days before people had them. Thus go back to the GOP that existed before people had rights but he didn't say go back that party, he said go back to that time, which was probably just sloppy formulation, but still ended up a bizarre statement of an argument.

And it's completely divorced from current reality because there is no way Trump's GOP is going there (becoming the party of expanding rights) regardless of what this guys wants to believe..

Sorry if you say he escapes blame for this particular incident.  This says he's pretty nuts

Who is North Carolina’s Mark Robinson, the off-the-rails Republican nominee for governor? - Vox

Quote

It seems Robinson is willing to entertain all manner of conspiracy theories, too. He’s a Holocaust denier and has a history of antisemitic remarks. He’s suggested that the 1969 moon landing might have been fake, that 9/11 was an “inside job,” that the music industry is run by Satan, and that billionaire Democratic donor George Soros orchestrated the Boko Haram kidnappings of school girls in 2014.

 

[romad1]

and Holocaust denial is a deal breaker for any human.

A lot of reporters today calling out the full context, and I get it.... but anytime you're talking about going back to the way things were back in the late 1800s, that's probably not going to be seen ideally regardless.

I’m not sure even that GOP candidate is parsing this own thinking nearly as carefully as you are parsing it for him.

Buried Lede Alert: ”BIDEN IS THE ENEMY. HE IS DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY.”

Stayed tuned to Logical Progression Theater for:

“Democrat politicians are the enemy. They are destroying our country.”

“Democrat voters are the enemy. They are destroying our country.”

“Your Democrat-voting neighbors are the enemy. They are destroying our country.”

“Your Democrat-voting family is the enemy. They are destroying our country.”

“Kill the enemy. Save our country.”

No I think I still held what he said was goofy, just a little more nuanced goofy than the responses on twix would have it.

Beautiful.  The arrogance of these folks makes it so satisfying
