Neo-Nazis Rally At Orlando Intersection
he Jerusalem Post reports:
Participants at a neo-Nazi rally in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday waved Nazi flags and shouted antisemitic and anti-Black slogans, according to StopAntisemitism.org. The rally was organized by the National Socialist Movement (NSM) and was live-streamed on the American Nazi Party’s website. NSM has a 25-point manifesto on its website and advocates an American “White” ethnostate in which only those with European ancestry can be citizens.

Some right wing cartoon sites
Today when I was leaving comments on these right wing cartoon sites and being attacked by replies not grounded in reality or even common sense I wondered if others wanted to argue with these people also. Or just insult them. Here is a list of a few I comment on.
Some day I will post the entire bookmarked pages I go to for the roundup

Color GOP Sexy
The misleading right wing media cartoon comment sections are full of maga people claiming that to not appoint a white person is racist. They claim that saying the court should be as diverse as the country means putting someone not qualified to be on the bench. They just assume and push that a black woman can not be a good Justice, and they don’t see how racist they are. A good portion want Biden impeached due to anti-white racism. What a clueless rabid bunch.
Republicans are having racist conniption fits over President Joe Biden’s pledge to nominate a black woman to fill the vacancy left on the Supreme Court by Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement. They’re trying to mask their opposition to Biden’s promise by claiming it’s about choosing the most qualified person to sit on the highest court in the land, no matter what their race or sex may be.
Really? No.
Before Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980, he promised during his campaign that if he got a nomination to the Supreme Court, his first would be a woman. When a vacancy did come up in his first year, he kept his promise and nominated Sandra Day O’Connor. Reagan got three justices on the court, but he made four nominations. The three that made it, O’Connor, Antonin Scalia, and Anthony Kennedy, each got over 97 votes. Trump’s three steals barely got 50 each.

The way corporations and the wealthy work it so the lower incomes must always pay.
They really are a lure for black market profiteers. According to my (possibly out of date) information, the active ingredient of catalytic converters is platinum. Carbon based gasses ‘break’ against tough large molecule metal alloys which include platinum. It accounts for the high price of catalytic converters and why they are so much more expensive if their is no return of the used converter. I have no idea how difficult it is to render catalytic converters down to pure platinum and separate it from the other materials in the alloy.
Palestinians live as an occupied people under military rule. They are not covered by civil laws that Israeli population enjoys. Palestinians are dealt with in military courts by military judges following military rules.
Tough little one, was willing to let it go but they pushed the situation.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes
Right but no mention of the millions tRump cost the taxpayer playing gulf at his properties. Need I say more? But I am running into complete amnesia over the things tRump did and said. His cult followers and the bots online seem unable to remember any of tRump missteps and false statements.
Fact: the United States of America has a greater percentage of it’s population in jail than any other country in the world. We need reform, all right, but not the reform conservatives favor.
• We put twice as many citizens per capita in prison than Russia, which is the only other big country that routinely imprisons a large fraction of their people
• 6 x more per capita than Canada
• 9 x more than Germany
• 12 x more than Ireland
• 14 x more than France
• 5 x more than China [not including their concentration camps]
• 5 x more than England
Americans are either :
❒ – the most criminal people in the world
or
❒ – we are doing something terribly wrong
The above cartoon was on comics kingdom. I have a bunch of those sites in my roundup check bookmarks. However often times the rabid insulting cult members get to post the most stupid disinformation, but my comments get removed or banned. Below is the one I wrote about this cartoon which has been removed. I have no idea why and there is no way to appeal.
The drums of war are always being beaten by those who find profit in wars. The defense contractors building everything the military needs to the contractors that supply the services that come with moving and caring for troops over seas. There is the money the media gets to both promote what side pays the most to filling peoples needs for the most sensational news to feed clicks. There are people like Lindsey Graham that have never seen a military intervention and police action he was against to people who really don’t want our troops injured like the families of those troops. Notice it is not the children of the high ranking politicians on the front line even if they join the National Guard during a war sucking up able bodied men to kill and main, like W Bush did. However we do have a duty to democracy and human rights. Some times the US has to stand up to the bullies and try to defend the ideals we claim to have. Even if we are violating those ideals at home and abroad ourselves.
Vaccinated people are LESS LIKELY to be hospitalized and may even be completely symptom-free. Vaccinated people are therefore LESS LIKELY to transmit the disease to others. Is it perfect? Of course not. Is ANYTHING perfect? Of course not.
I wonder if it was made in China like the trump maga hats.
Oh yes that is what we should strive for in the US is vigilant justice and gang enforcement instead of a government rule of laws. Heck why have courts, save the money and let police met out what ever punishment they want. Let every private citizen met out justice according to their mood and recently watched movies. that would be fair right? Because that will make everything so much better for everyone.
No I am not in favor of crimes nor criminals. But we need a uniform system of justice and reasonable responsive punishments for breaking the laws to have a civilized country. We really need to address the reasons for crime, what makes the criminal and why they do what they do. Ask why the US has so much more crime than other developed countries and such a higher prison population than any other country in the world. Is it just the US is more criminal? Are we just worse people? It is not a bumper sticker response that fits on a cartoon but it works far better than just locking everyone up and having for profit prisons charge the taxpayer for profit. Crime and how it effects people is a serious issue, and just wanting a feel good retribution fantasy is not a viable solution.
Yup just want it was designed for right? Talk about shifting the conversation. The vaccine also wont lift a rocket to the moon. But inflation and crime it might help reduce as people go back to work feeling safe both crime and inflation will drop.

Some have a lot and others have very little
Parents who want submission from their kids, who fear their curiosity, and want to negate their exposure/inclusivity, are vile.
Attn: fragile white people
I guess those decades of homeschooling hiding from reality/diversity/science was not good.
Respect labor. Respect women. Invest in education. Increase school resources.
Or longer.
All the gun control legislation up north does no good whatsoever when a quick trip down south can re-stock your arsenal! For 110 years there has been a flow of illegal guns into NYC and other cities like Boston or DC from States with lax or no gun laws. Prior to 1968 there were almost zero federal laws regarding handguns allowing bulk smuggling of cheap throw down “Saturday Night Special” pistols. Today the story is things like $500 Glock in a Free State goes for $3,000 on the street in NYC. Guns be cheap and available down south, then can be sold up north. Profitable!
Hey, hey, my, my, hope other artists leave Spotify.
One person can start the conversation that brings change
Just goes to show cops don’t follow rules. They think they are beyond reproach. They never atone.
These idiots, full of bad judgment and racist confirmation bias, eschew all training, and act out white supremacist ‘judge and jury’ violence and ‘I was so scared’ cowardice script.
Impartial? The opposite.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes
Yes there are some really whacked out ideas like the flat earth movement or the anti-vaxx people. But the thing to understand is most ideas that become mainstream started as fringe ideas.
Benson is very annoyed that Breyer chose to give Biden the opportunity to replace him before the midterms. Be sure that McConnell, Manchin, et al will do everything they can to delay it until after the newly elected Senators are seated.
Lisa and the other Trump Disciples were deliriously happy when Ruth Bader Ginsberg died. They had her replacement nominated before she was even buried. They celebrated the opportunity to put a perjurer who was also credibly accused of sexual assault, on the court.
Fear, be very afraid. That is the message the misleading right wing wants to sent to their followers. Keeping them fearful and outraged so they wont notice that the Republicans have no polices to make the public lives better. The only polices the Republicans have is to empower themselves and to divide the country while denying rights to diverse segments of the population.
As stated often enough despite the right wing talking points wanting to make it so the withdrawal from Afghanistan was not a disaster. Biden’s actions on the Ukraine issue seems to be working well, Putin has hesitated and not invaded as of this time. I have not figured out the right on this. Do they want Biden to insert troops into Ukraine to start a war even the Ukrainians don’t intend to fight in an army to army way? That wouldn’t be smart at all. Does the right want the US to step aside and let Putin have the entire country of Ukraine like Tucker Carlson is pushing for? What is it the right wants here?
He also said he was picking the most qualified person he could find. Is it really a big surprise that judge that is also a black woman would fit that bill. No it would not. The Supreme Court needs more diversity, not less. It certainly needs fewer religious nuts and sexual predators to be sure. All things being equal, is there any reason not to have a black woman’s viewpoint on the high court? If Mitch had wanted a moderate, he should have confirmed Merrick Garland. That ship has sailed, especially with all the right wing hacks that are currently sitting on a bench that they aren’t even qualified to clean.
A court that represents the entire nation should be as diverse as the nation it represents.
If the USA hadn’t been so thoroughly racist for so long, there wouldn’t be a need to try and ensure that the diversity of the court reflects that of the nation.
It would be great if we didn’t have to manufacture this kind of diversity, but in reality, we’re still not there yet.

Burning Down The Maus
Maus is a graphic novel by Art Spiegelman about the Holocaust. It’s very dark and disturbing, you know because it’s about the Holocaust. A proxy for the author is a mouse who interviews his mouse father about his experience in the Holocaust. The Nazis are depicted as cats. The McMinn County School board in Tennessee has pulled the book from the eighth-grade curriculum because they believe either eighth-graders are too young to learn about the Holocaust, they want to protect Nazis because 60 percent of the country are Trumpers, or they’re all cat people.
Trip advisors advise that the National Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. is fine for 12-year-olds, though there are parts of the museum that has been determined safe for ages as young as eight. I think kids in the eighth grade would be fine with learning about the Holocaust from Maus. In fact, I think that’s an…
