Here's a video of Trump condemning white supremacists as far back as 2000
trinko, Conversations about the obvious - 14 hours ago
Chris Wallace asked Trump if he'd condemn white nationalists in the first debate this year. That alone shows that Wallace was a dishonest partisan because he'd asked Trump the same question in a debate in 2016 and Trump had then unequivocally condemned them. What dishonest "journalists" like Wallace are doing is asking Trump the same question over and over even though they know he's been condemning white nationalists, David Duke, and the KKK since he was first asked about them back in 2000. He never said that Nazi's or white nationalists were "fine people" that's a lie as you'l...

Here's what Trump actually said: *"Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus -- you know that right? Coronavirus. They're politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, "How's President Trump doing?" They go, "Oh, not good, not good." They have no clue. They don't have any clue. They can't even count their votes in Iowa. They can't ...

Kamala D. Harris and reality itself forced the discussion back again and again to the failures of the Trump administration. If Pence’s goal was to di...

*Harry J. Kazianis* *Security, Asia* Many of the world's top North Korea analysts gave us their take on what Pyongyang just might have in store come this Saturday. The big take away: ICBMs will be rolling down the boulevard. While the American electorate—and indeed anyone with access to any sort of media—is most likely captivated, distracted, or just annoyed with the U.S. Presidental election, the world, of course, keeps on turning. And that means North Korea has and will remain a top national security concern for whoever wins the Oval Office come November 3rd, or shortly there...

Yesterday I published an article titled "Let's play Meat Bingo!" I showed a mock Bingo card listing a number of animals, and invited readers to indicate which of them they'd sampled. I added more information below it, including mentioning cane rats or "grasscutters", which both Lawdog and I have eaten in Africa (where they're considered a delicacy). A number of readers commented privately that the thought of eating "rat" disgusted them: so I thought I'd demonstrate that a "cane rat" is very, *very* different to the brown rats commonly found in the sewers of Western cities. ...
