Woe is her. Such a victim.

Meanwhile, at the Democratic Socialists of America convention....

This is the vanguard in the glorious revolution to overthrow capitalism.

Perdue deserves to hear it, but he is totally powerless to do anything to change Dear Leaders mind.

Look at you breaking from your SOP of posting only horrible news. Nicely done.

This is the vanguard in the glorious revolution to overthrow capitalism.

I saw that a few days ago. It's just remarkable. I'd laugh really hard, but these are the people who control or will control in the very near future the Democrats.

Now, I need to find a way to spend some money at Cherokee Guns.

Crash, how many Islamic terrorists have you personally met? None?

The narrative is that white nationalism is a huge PROBLEM in the UNITED STATES. AmeriKKKa is RACIST!!! They're everywhere, including government. The represent white repbulicans.

The narrative re Islamic terrorists is that they nutjob fanatics in Middle East and other Islamic countries -- but, please note -- they do not, in any way, represent the beliefs of Islam.

As I see it, Crash lived in fucking Kansas. You know -- ultra-conservative, white as shit Kansas. Crash didn't live in fucking Damascus, Kabul or Sanaa.

So, obviously his point about not running into white nationalists in what one presumes is fertile white nationalist country -- I mean, since it's such a scourge -- is relevant. I rather doubt he could expect to run into an Islamist in Cow Tongue, Kansas, but the analogy is cute.

It's the difference between living in Columbus and saying "I've never run into an OSU fan" vs. "I've never run into a Dinamo Kiev fan."

Fine. Take the 680 illegals at the chicken processing plants in Mississippi, but until you give real punishment to the businesses, those 680 will be easily replaced with another 680. You tell a bottom-line ops manager he can pay a $30,000 fine and save $3 million a year in payroll and/or keep production going to meet demand and he will do so 10 outta 10 times. Tell him it is a $10 million fine and he faces jail time and he will not. Ever.

The problem with the "I have never met a white nationalist in Kansas" thing is that they are hard to identify unless you engage them in their circles or until one of them does something. For example, the KKK guys have made a concerted effort to stop appearing in robes and hoods around here. Does that mean they no longer exist? I don't know, but I doubt it.
