Trump Only Has Bad Days Now-- Although I Guess Some Are Worse Than Others

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 15 minutes ago
*Everybody ready for Halloween?* Assuming-- as you should-- that Mulvaney was speaking for the White House, he admitted that the aid to Ukraine was indeed held up as part of a quid pro quo. So everyone agrees that the military equipment was the *quid*; the only disagreement is what the *quo* was. That Trump was shown to be a liar doesn't seem to matter at the White House at this point. His supporters don't care and everyone else already knows everything he says is false anyway. *NY Times* congressional correspondent Nick Fandos tweeted that Adam Schiff's response to Mulvaney's admis... more »

Nationalistic Conservatism is Anti-Racism

Unknown at The Verma Report - 1 hour ago
Nationalistic conservatism means that people should rule themselves and it’s inherently anti-racism. Both nationalism and conservatism are modern phenomena. They are the political outcome of the two 18th century revolutions: The American Revolution of 1776 and the French Revolution of 1789. People have always lived in groups formed by the bonds of kinship, race, location, and dialect. In Ancient Greece, Roman Era, and Middle Ages, people didn’t identify with their country (they didn’t have the concept of a country with definite borders); they identified with their king, their ethni... more »

(By *American Zen*'s Mike Flannigan, on loan from Ari) Perhaps that's why Republicans are incapable of seeing the not so subtle difference in its latter-day incarnation.
