Any former Marine who decides it might be fun to become a Coastie should be a red flag anyway

93 says there's no such thing as a "former" marine...

Well try calling one of those wilting flowers an “ex Marine” and watch what happens

I'll bet these people would also get into an argument over whether Nazis were left or right

A small town newspaper in Alabama published an editorial last week that called for the return of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) to block tax increases in the state.

The editorial was published on Thursday and Goodloe Sutton, publisher of the Democrat-Reporter newspaper in Linden, Ala., confirmed to the Montgomery Adviser on Monday that he wrote the column.

“Time for the Ku Klux Klan to night ride again,” the first line of the editorial reads. “Democrats in the Republican Party and Democrats are plotting to raise taxes in Alabama.”

When asked about it by the Montgomery Adviser, Sutton repeated his writings, saying, “if we could get the Klan to go up there and clean out D.C., we'd all been better off.”

"We'll get the hemp ropes out, loop them over a tall limb and hang all of them," Sutton said.

He defended himself by saying he was “not calling for the lynchings of Americans.”

“These are socialist-communists we're talking about,” Sutton said.

He went on to compare the KKK to civil rights group the NAACP, saying the violence of the white supremacist hate group was justified.

"A violent organization? Well, they didn't kill but a few people," Sutton said. "The Klan wasn't violent until they needed to be."

Sutton has worked at the paper since 1964 and reportedly welcomed feedback in the form of letters or phone calls regarding his editorial.

The Alabama Press Association (APA) told the Montgomery Adviser that while it does not condone the editorial, it does not have the authority to stop Sutton.

"We do not agree with the opinion," said Felicia Mason, APA executive director. "However, APA is not a policing agency. We simply have no authority over what our member newspapers publish."

Listen soft-branch faggots, it's "prior-service Marine".

FWIW, I would never say this to CID's face, because he's like 6'13" and I'm about 5'2" (per Andy).

Been meaning to get to the one about Texas supposedly finding out that 58,000 non citizens voted. It is, of course, not true. Texas doesn't know. Here's a Factcheck.org article on it:

https://www.factcheck.org/2019/01/more- ... rom-trump/

There's a lot in there but I think one comparison kind of sums the situation up:

History tells us to be wary of these numbers. In Florida, when officials similarly matched driver’s license and voter registration data in 2012 in an attempt to remove noncitizens from voter rolls, an initial list of more than 180,000 names was ultimately whittled down to less than 100.

A Snopes article on the subject at https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/texas ... en-voters/ points out that the Texas check covers 22 years. And it cited a similar effor in Colorado:

As the Denver Post observed, a similar effort undertaken in Colorado in 2012 ended up verifying less than 1% — if even that much — of nearly 4,000 voter registrations flagged for being tied to suspected non-citizens:

I don't think it's so bad. It's actually associated with being good at math. But that's not the point. The point is that the conservatives are once again distributing misinformation. They're trying to create the impression that there is this HUGE problem with people who are not citizens voting when it's not known to be true and is probably NOT true.

If you are a conservative you should have a problem with this thing where so many people in the conservative movement have resorted to intellectual dishonesty.

Feinstein has to break the brutal truth to a bunch of kids on how legislation really works. And then gets kind of owned.

There's no better representation of why we need to get money out of politics or at least have term limits.

What a snarky old coont! Worst dye job since, well, Drumpf.

I’m with you on the term limits piece. Glad to see the little whippersnappers bitch-slap the old broad a bit.

Look at the smirks on the faces of those kids. How dare them to treat an elder that way.
Too bad Feinstein didn't have a drum to beat in the faces of those kids.

I'm still waiting for her censure over Kavanaugh. Must've just been bluster by the Reps.
