So that's Confederate Christmas? What do they give each other, presents wrapped in white flags?

I always "knew," but recently confirmed I had relatives on both sides of the war. No slave owners that I am aware of.

This conversation reminds me that I just heard about a stand up comedian who was very "Andy Kauffman" like in his experimental comedy. He would wear a KKK outfit onto the stage and open with something like "Yeah, yeah, but do you know how hard it is to get this dry cleaned?"

It's so stupid that it's funny.

That seems vaguely familiar, but I cannot place it.

Conspiracy theorist wins runoff in GOP race.
Although the theory is nebulous enough to invite all kinds of interpretations from its adherents, at its core QAnon claims that President Donald Trump has been secretly fighting to bring down a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles that has infiltrated all levels of the US government and other elite institutions.
To be fair, aside from the Satan-worship and Trump championing the fight, I think most Americans would absolutely agree that pedophiles have infiltrated all levels of the government and other elite institutions.

Really? And if they did, they were probably there forever, not a new thing.

Yep, and that's why anyone sane/logical would agree they're everywhere.

Because the rich have their money handed to them rather than having to earn it?

There does have to be some real reason for that discrepancy.

Obama + Clinton oversaw the 2 largest bull markets of our lifetime. Reagan got dinged by Black Friday, 1987. W got hit by the Great Recession. HW had a late recession in his term. Trump is now having his economic collapse (but the markets have recovered, so he's up 47% at the moment, roughly HW level).

As for the prior presidents... Hoover was president during the Great Depression, so that put Republicans into a giant hole (down 82%), Nixon saw stocks go down almost 30%.

I'm going to say it's mostly coincidence... but Clinton's term had some great fiscal prudence, the likes of which we haven't seen since.

That gets explained by another pattern that's been discussed on this forum: Democratic presidents with a Republican controlled Congress = Good Times.

Ha!

National polling and common sense should have told them most people want or want for other 2 out of 3 of those things.

I've seen so much dumb shit pointed out as happening at the RNC, and all of it is deserved.

It feels like such an easy thing to fact check, but, right, we are talking about the Republicans.

My wife asked me this morning why they have on all these fringe elements talking nonsense, and I told her about your post from the Republican party. They've tapped out. They have simply quit until the next election. They handed the keys to Trump and walked away.

Also, to be fair, I'm still waiting for a credible news source to call out Biden for giving the same speech, word for word, that he did in 2008.

It really is, but honestly, it's their own fault that they lost control of their party. They ignored Trump until it was too late. Now they're bystanders as "mean spirited Michael Scott" leads their party into the next election.

At least the Ds seem to be doing their part, by cheating, to keep their fringe elements, Bernie, under control.

The only thing I saw was the tweet I posted here showing him delivering it in 2008 and now.
