  • The Palmer Report discovers how a book published in 1939 about housepets may have saved the world from Donald Trump.
  •  

  • So once-upon-a-president, now Citizen Trump instructs former aides to refuse to testify before the Congressional Committee investigating the Jan 6 lynch mob insurrection.
     
    Julian Sanchez considers the legal merits of Trump’s claim of executive privilege, as Steve Bannon tries to apply it:
     

    And explains why it will likely make no difference:

  • News Corpse presents two important facts about Presidential executive privilege.

    • Only an actual current President can claim the privilege. There is no EX-executive privilege.
    • Actual, real, Presidential executive privilege when actually invoked by some real CURRENT President, still cannot apply to possible evidence of a criminal act.
       

    A well known recovering Republican considers the efforts by Trump and his allies to resist subpoenas and is mad as all hell about it.
     

  • In Letters from an American, Heather Cox Richardson explains that, despite sketchy claims of executive privilege, the Congressional Jan 6 Investigation is getting different degrees of cooperation from prospective witnesses. The promise is that there will be legal consequences for those who defy subpoenas.
     
    Okay, we’ll see.
     
  • Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson seems not to be taking seriously the latest Trump-actually-won conspiracy theory of the Pillow Guy:
     

  • Scotties Toy Box finds a newscast about a North Carolina lawmaker backing off from an election-audit type raid. The thought is that voting machines were secretly controlled by hidden modems attached to them. Hidden modems. Yep. I wonder if they were dial ups. Would those dial ups whine when a connection comes in? Fond memories of the 1990s.

  • Vixen Strangely at Strangely Blogged considers the nature of a world in which Mitch McConnell can threaten to destroy the national economy unless Democrats, representing a majority of American voters, abandon every potential policy that might be Democratic; then he can become incensed by even the mildest criticism of his destructive tactics.
     
  • Max’s Dad gets awfully irritated by the timid demeanor of Senate Leader Chuck Schumer: Never offend Trumpers or Republicans or conservatives or, especially, Mitch McConnell. After the Republican generated debt limit crisis that came a vote or two from putting the United States into Great Depression territory, Senator Chuck gets totally furious at the politics-before-country terrorist tactics of Republicans. And he stands up on the Senate floor and says so, right out loud, in front of God and everybody.
     
    Max’s Dad gets real appreciative, real quick.
     
  • Nojo reflects on what we have learned so far from the COVID crisis. Those who prefer fantasy to facts are more loyal to Fox & Conspiracies than it had seemed. Turns out they are willing to risk death rather than give up fantasy.
     
    Death is okay, but inconvenience is too high a price. Nojo examines what this means for policy.
     
  • Poor Peter Doocy gets shredded yet again in the style of a discarded paper doll. Tommy Christopher watches as White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki skewers Peter’s awkward attempt to transform violent anti-maskers into victimized parents.
     
    Seems to be a your right to swing your fist stops at someone else’s nose type of issue.
     
  • Within the pages of Nan’s Notebook, she is impressed with a comment from a limited government conservative and ponders how this is exaggerated by some into a near complete disregard for the rights of others.
     
  • Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger charts out the results of a respected poll by the Civiqs group. Bad news for Democrats, who are disapproved by 13% more voters than those who approve. Republicans have a gap that is only HOLY MOLY!!
     
  • driftglass has an example of how both-sides-are-to-blame has infiltrated our discourse. Recovering Republican-leaner Mona Charen explains why both sides are wrong. Republicans are wrong because they have become authoritarians who oppose democracy itself and who think all Democrats are socialists. Democrats are wrong because they view Republicans as authoritarians who oppose democracy.
     
  • In Hackwhackers Republicans have become so aligned with the Q folks that the issue is no longer that they reject demonstrable facts, but that they can’t handle the truth.
     
  • Green Eagle has what Everett Dirkson would have described as minimal high regard for Senators Manchin and Simena, but suggests that the real problem is that criminal billionaires have a stranglehold on our government.
     
  • At The Onion, the nation just can’t understand how someone as cool as Kyrsten Sinema could fight for corporate interests.
     
  • At The Moderate Voice, Joe Gandelman warns that Joe Biden’s popularity is in a nosedive.
     
  • The Propaganda Professor gets irritated by a personal experience with a journalist, and sees a pattern: reporters using distorted questions to get answers they want, then reporting the answers and omitting those questions.
     
  • PZ Myers takes a look at the recent trend in conservative doctrine: Replacement Theory. It isn’t an evil plot. It’s an inescapable law of nature. Yes, you will be replaced. Get over it.
     
  • Current legal standards say that states can regulate, but can’t ban, abortion before viability. Legal expert Imani Gandy is not laughing at the absurdity as Mississippi lawyers go to court with slippery definitions. When is a ban not a ban? When the ban is a regulation.
     
  • Andy Borowitz reports on the emotional press conference as Texas Governor Abbott calls it a dark day in the history of our great state. Texas is temporarily forced to recognize women as humans.
     
  • tengrain at Mock Paper Scissors covers a bad few days for Facebook.
     
  • John Scalzi at Whatever has a thought about this week’s outage:
     

    But maybe the lessons don’t just go in one direction.
     

  • There have been many attempts to cleanse the history of the Southern half of the Civil War. One has been the mythical tale of Black confederate soldiers. They simply never existed.
     
    Dave Dubya responds to a claim that Black soldiers were provided much better treatment in the Confederate army than were Black soldiers fighting for the Union. Dave acknowledges another group that got better treatment:
     

  • China once more threatens Taiwan, claiming it as its own.
     
    Infidel753 offers guarded reassurance. If it turns out to be the rattling of a dictatorial saber, it may signify remarkable governmental weakness on the mainland. How the rest of the world reacts still matters.
     
  • We hear the argument every once in a while in Fellowship Hall. Once Christians become Christians, they are saved. And that means, if their faith is real, that faith is impervious to doubt. So how to explain those who fall away? Were they actually not according-to-Hoyle real followers of Jesus?
     
    In The Life and Times of Bruce Gerencser, a Fundamentalist Christian insists that there is no such thing as an ex-Christian. Ex-Christian Bruce runs him through a blender.
     
  • North Carolina pastor John Pavlovitz is recovering from brain surgery that successfully removed a tumor. The surgery was followed by a couple of moments that must have been truly scary.
     

    And Pastor Pavlovitz continues to challenge attitudes sometimes expressed by Christians, attitudes that directly contradict the teachings of Jesus.
     

  • I don’t care what the evidence shows is sometimes an honest, and honorable, response.
     
    A decade ago, I wrote about a governor denying clear evidence, even as it was presented to him.
     
    Denial of documented facts is a temptation not exclusively belonging to ideologues. But they do seem especially vulnerable to seductive alternate fantasies.
     
    Libertarian Michael A. LaFerrara provides a brief, but accurate, account of a Nixon initiative toward poverty. President Nixon thought about a policy providing a basic income to all Americans. He was talked out of it when a study showed it destroyed an economy of a section of Ireland a couple of hundred years ago.
     
    Michael presents the facts fairly. A series of studies over the centuries were debunked by better studies. The truth turned out to be that universal basic income can work and work well.
     
    Regardless of that evidence, Michael A. LaFerrara opposes the idea on moral grounds.
     
    Well … Fair enough!
     
  • My long time friend Darrell Michaels is at it again.
     
    In some sense, my old pal walks in the dark valley of much of contemporary conservative thought.
     
    Since we all know racism does not exist in any meaningful sense, those who point out racism are the real racists.
     
    Since we all know there is no violence, and no threat of violence, among those storming local school boards, allegations that such actions and threats actually occur are the product of sneaky attempts to crush legitimate parental concerns.
     
    But how to deal with not-so-easy to deny news?

    • The recently revealed Eastman memos, written after the 2020 election, outline plans by national reject Donald Trump to overturn the election.
    • Investigations into the Jan 6 lynch mob show a deeper plot to assassinate legislators and overthrow the government.
    • Widely respected polling organizations show the Republican Party shrinking as increasing majorities of those remaining Republicans want to discard democracy itself. That majority of a minority are willing to follow Trump into a repressive government without limits.
    • Anecdotes are not data, but an increasing number of reports have protestors yelling at parents and screaming at children, as those parents and children walk into school buildings. Their offense? They are wearing masks.

     
    My friend doesn’t actually dismiss those facts.
    He simply ignores them:
     
    While I can understand why militant leftists hated the egomaniacal Trump for his mean tweets and putting America first again, there seemed to be very little that Trump, the GOP, or conservatives in general did that would rise to the level of fascism.
     
    Yup.
    Mean tweets and putting America first again.
    How dare he!
     
    And so, the true facist threat to democracy comes from the militant left, as ensconced by Big Tech, Public Schools, “woke” corporations, and of course our “benevolent” government as well as the Biden administration.
     
    Oh my.
     
    Last week, my friend was able to find a video of a single student going into an incoherent objection to what she took to be conservative stickers. From this, he concluded that classrooms in post-secondary schools are pretty much hotbeds of leftist propaganda.
     
    He does tend to label opinions different from his own as belonging to violence prone leftists. He has graciously exempted me from that characterization. Turns out I am too reasonable to be a leftist. I am a mere liberal.

  • M. Bouffant at Web of Evil brings a ghastly story of mental illness and anti-vaccination propaganda that came to a double-murder in my long-ago home: Howard County, Maryland.
     
    Oddly, M. Bouffant does not find that every anti-vax believer is a cold-stone murderer.
     
    Perhaps my friend Darrell would be willing to write an article filling in that gap.
     
  • Our favorite Earth-Bound Misfit finds several individuals guilty of political violence, all of whom are Texas conservatives. Somehow she manages to avoid concluding that conservatives or Texans are generally violence prone.
     
    Let’s call the talented Mr. Michaels here as well.
     
  • Some scandals are more local entertainment than evidence of global trends. Like the Republican candidate who went to court against his wife, looking for a gag order preventing her and her attorney from talking about past court orders protecting her and the kids from … well … him.
     
    Frances Langum reports on the reasoning. He actually wants to protect her and those kids from media exposure. However, he will keeping using images of those protected kids in campaign photos.
     
    Family values, you know.

9 thoughts on “ExExecutive Priv, Debt, Abortion, Masks, Faceblok, Pavlovitz, Poppins”

  1. Good grief, Darrell, What happened to you?

    Your little meme is, excuse me while I say this in my best Trump voice, “Fake News”.

    1) There is no proof available anywhere but on meme and fly-by-night “right-wing” sites that Churchill ever said the quote in your meme.
    2) Churchill was a remarkably savvy person and politician. He would never equate Fascists with the left-wing. He freaking led his country against the fascists. Even on a completely partisan basis, Churchill wouldn’t have usurped fascism and label people with an opposing ideology as fascists… unless of course they were fascists. Then he would have just called them fascists. Or Nazis.

    I am sorry your Fee-Fees have fee-fees when you see “your side” being called nazis and that you’re tired of people who self-identify as anti-fascists opposing your friends and colleagues whose ideological bent is in your direction. Calling anti-fascists the real fascists because you don’t like your team being called fascist is some elementary school-level childishness. Maybe self-reflect and re-evaluate what you really believe rather than digging your heels in and throwing your hat in with the fascists, eh?

    Christ on a Cracker, man. If I were to actually start seeing people claiming the ideas I would expect to see of my ideological side marching around with swastikas, iron crosses and other white nationalist symbols and paraphernalia, I wouldn’t blink at the opportunity to reassess where I stood. I’m sorry the White Nationalists have co-opted your political party and redefined “conservatism”, referencing 9gag memes and digging trenches to fight the “marxist” horde is not where your energies should go.

    I guess it’s just easier and makes common sense to defend anti-democratic people and quake in fear of Straw-marxists (Or Straw-leftists, -socialists, -liberals, -lefties, -leftwing, -commies, -whatever the word is today that “conservatives” are using to further segregate the conservative electorate from their fellow citizens, from their senses and, most importantly, from their money)

  2. Sigh. Well Trey, I’ll try to keep this short and simple. I loathe those on the right that support white supremacy or any such type of racism and hate. I am NOT a Republican. Those bastards are nearly as corrupt as the leftist in power masquerading as Democrats. So no, those are NOT my people. I understand your need to equate them with me and “my side” however. Interestingly, the conservatives I know and respect think similarly to me on that issue.

    As for the meme on my blog, I will stipulate that Churchill was likely not referencing leftists when he said that; however, when current-day authoritarian people dress in black and destroy anything and anyone with whom they disagree by employing everything from intimidation to violence, well those “anti-fascists” sure seem to be employing fascist tactics in their pursuit of a leftist utopia hell-hole.

    The fact is that, so far, all of the leftists have made their comments about tangential things and have nothing to say about my inarguable examples of left-wing authoritarianism in my latest post is telling. I guess it is true that you can’t argue the facts when they are not on your side.

    1. It can’t be easy for Darrell to convince us that only pro-Trump propaganda is to be trusted, and everything else must be dismissed as fake news. This is why he has no choice but to believe Trump’s Big Lie. He refuses to consider the overwhelming evidence that Biden won, and he cannot comprehend Trump being a liar. His radical Right bubble is impervious to outside information and ideas.

      Therefore he can never consider the possibility he is misinformed or holds incorrect assumptions. He just CAN’T be wrong.

      Exhibits A and B:

      ”I will stipulate that Churchill was likely not referencing leftists when he said that;” (Did he really say that, Darrell? Can you show us where to find that quote, please?)

      Darrell notes: “Biden having insisted he would be the president to unify all Americans” . (Did he really insist that, Darrell? Can you show us where to find that quote, please?)

      Darrell is misrepresenting the words of others again.

      There is no evidence Churchill made such a statement.

      And Biden actually said:

      “We can join forces, stop the shouting and lower the temperature. For without unity there is no peace, only bitterness and fury. No progress, only exhausting outrage. No nation, only a state of chaos. This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge, and unity is the path forward…I know speaking of unity can sound to some like a foolish fantasy these days. I know the forces that divide us are deep and they are real. But I also know they are not new. Our history has been a constant struggle between the American ideal that we all are created equal and the harsh, ugly reality that racism, nativism, fear, demonization have long torn us apart.”

      For some reason Trumpists are angered by Biden’s words, and need to accuse the Left of being fascist commies who hate America. Hmm.

      There will be no unity, but there is a majority consensus on many issues.

      The fact is MOST Americans approve of Biden’s major legislative agenda and protecting voter rights.

      Polling from Navigator Research shows high support for the Build Back Better Act with support from:
      66 percent of Americans
      61 percent of Independents
      39 percent of Republicans

      Darrell agrees with Marjorie Taylor Greene that mask and vaccination requirements are fascism. Margie even compared it to the Holocaust. Not very hysterical and alarmist are they?

      Vaccination requirements were long part of our history, and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. They are still required for military service. Why is it suddenly “fascism”? It certainly fits our constitutional provision for the general welfare more than the definition of fascism. Did Darrell understand the definition?

      Does he know there is no such thing as “critical race theory ideology”? It seems not. He’s been trained to see “Commie Marxists” in the letters CRT. He has no understanding whatsoever what it is. He thinks it means “all whites are racists”.

      Even Karl Marx never made such a claim. Go figure. He blames BLM. Obama and Blacks in general for our racism, like he accuses progressives of hating America. Sounds like “Critical White Nationalism Theory” to me. I can imagine the Right’s “replacement theory” is active in his imagination.

      Darrell is full of random resentments, evoking the evils of “Big Tech”, public education, “woke” corporations, (as if a corporation was a person) to blame all the ills of our nation on everyone left of Liz Cheney. He even resents her, for not buying into Trump’s Big Lie and wanting to investigate his 1/6 insurrection to overturn our election.

      Now don’t get me wrong; I do not condone any violence, threats of violence or other unlawful acts committed by upset parents or anyone else.

      Commendable. I completely agree.

      However we know for certain Darrell supports and defends Trump, despite his multitude of unlawful acts, from criminal sexual conduct to campaign finance violations, to obstruction of a DOJ investigation, up to incitement of insurrection. Never mind a bi-partisan majority of the Senate found him guilty of that last offense against our Constitution. Darrell would even vote for him again. What kind of person would say they don’t condone violence, but would remain loyal to a man who sent an angry violent mob to the Capitol to overturn our election? That’s what “stop the steal” means, right? His intent was clear. He allowed the attack to continue for hours, and then PRAISED the TERRORISTS.

      Darrell seems to condone that, or at the minimum is unbothered by it. And he seems to believe Trump was following the Constitution. Wow.

      What kind of person would support such a man AFTER he PRAISED the violent racist terrorists who beat Black cops while calling them “ni**ers”? He certainly condones Trump despite that horrible embrace of mob criminality. Or at least it doesn’t bother him, and he agrees with their mission. No wonder he wants to blame antifa for being “fascist”.

      Antifa do not fit Darrell’s Heritage Dictionary definition at all: “A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government. Oppressive, dictatorial control.”

      This sounds much more like the Proud Boys and their thuggish aggression in defense of “Western Civilization”. That would really be “white civilization”, but they think they’re pulling something off.

      In fact, the mob that Trump praised and said he loved acted to commit “violent suppression of the opposition”, and demonstrated flagrant “belligerent nationalism and racism”. This certainly fits Darrell’s definition of fascism a hell of a lot more than a requirement for masks and vaccinations. Or am I just showing I “hate America” by thinking this?

      It was a fascist Putsch. A coup. Fascist coups are not constitutional.

      Darrell must think everything Trump did to overturn the election was “constitutional”.

      Sorry, bullying the independent Justice Department to call the election corrupt so he can “take it from there” is found nowhere in our Constitution. Suggesting a Secretary of State was a criminal for not interfering in the Georgia election isn’t in the Constitution either. That’s called election tampering and election fraud.

      Better make it harder for Blacks to vote. Voting rights are essential to liberty, but their liberty is for conservative white men to limit. THAT must be in the Constitution, because Darrell approves of it.

      Last on the list of the left’s foray into fascist tactics is the ultra-radical attempt by Nancy Pelosi to pass the ironically and erroneously named Women’s Health Protection Act.

      Darrell wouldn’t know of course, but the majority of Americans support Roe v Wade and women’s reproductive rights. For some reasons beyond logic he equates a woman’s reproductive freedom to fascism. That doesn’t fit ANYWHERE in the definition, does it? In fact fascists banned abortion. On October 10, 1936 Heinrich Himmler created the Reich Central Office for Combating Homosexuality and Abortion, or Special Office (II S), a sub-department of Executive Department II of the Gestapo.

      Notice I haven’t even mentioned any of Trump’s “mean tweets”. But I’ll go so far as to say fascists are mean people.

      I guess it is true that you can’t argue the facts when they are not on your side.

      I guess so.

    2. Sigh. Well. Maybe act like it?

      You say you loath those on the right that support white supremacy, but you then defend their white supremacy, dismiss their white supremacy, or deny its existence which gets all nicely wrapped up and tied up with a bow when your defense of them includes denying systemic racism. How is it so hard to accept that certain groups of people are historically and currently being treated in different ways to other groups of people so difficult to accept? It’s not an indictment on YOU, so why do you and your people fight so damn hard to defend bigotry? Like, maybe protesting, breaking some windows and turning over a couple of cars over the anger of yet another black person being extralegally executed is easier to believe than whatever conspiracy theory on WHY those things happen you’ve convinced yourself of? So many contortions to deny the examples laid out in front of you on the nightly news.

      To paraphrase you (I’ll attribute it to you whether you said anything like it or not, kind of like you do with ‘Leftists/Whatever strawperson’), because I don’t want to go back to your blog: ‘I hate Donald Trump, but I’m now going to spend paragraphs defending him’

      ‘Those people on January 6th should have stayed peaceful, but now I’ll whataboutism you by misrepresenting BLM demonstrations’

      ‘I’m not a Republican, but I’m totally associating myself with that ‘team’ and will fight tooth and nail for them, but I’m totally not one of them’

      They are your people. Your blog and your comments are monuments to the art of prefacing your statements with one sentiment, then arguing for the opposite. ‘I love puppies! But I don’t find anything wrong with people tying them up and beating them for fun’ ‘I think marriage is a divine arrangement between you, your WIFE, and God. Excuse me while I ignore Republican/Conservative instances of infidelity while being very unChristian and judge Democrats/Liberals life choices’ ‘Oh, Boo, Debt is the downfall of our society! Excuse me while I ignore the massive debts Republicans/Conservatives incur that suddenly become a problem under a Democrat’ Oh, and this nugget that you’re specifically and suspiciously quiet on, ‘Barack Obama thinks he’s a tyrant with all these ExEcUtIvE oRdErS! I’ll conventiently be LUDICROUSLY QUIET when Donald Trump issues over 200 in just 4 years’

      So, yeah, what I’m saying is that your hypocrisy is naked and you hiding from your Republican shame by claiming to be other is apparent to everyone but you.

      Back to Churchill: He didn’t say it. There’s no proof he said that. If you give it seven seconds of critical thought, it wouldn’t even make SENSE, common or otherwise, for him to utter those words in a sentence; in that order; with the insinuation the 9gag meme had. You may has well have posted a picture of Leonard Nimoy on your blog with the caption ‘May the Force be with you’. You don’t get to hand-wave away the meme and the falsely attributed (MADE UP) quote with your signature preface and then argue the opposite. ‘I will stipulate Churchill… HOWEVER, Strawman arguement of made up “conservative” boogey person scarey.’ Last I checked, it wasn’t the Anti-Fascists at the Capitol with weapons and gallows and using intimidation and violence because their/your guy lost an election. Antifa ‘seems’ to be using fascist tactics is something someone who SEEMS to be in denial, completely ignorant, or wholly misinformed would say about something they SEEM to not want to accept or understand.

      “Oh, but BLM and Antifa,” Ol’ Crazy Darrell will scree, “They burnt down CITIES for reasons I will hand-wave, dismiss, and deny for NEFARIOUS MARXIST REASONS that I won’t bother to think about or articulate correctly’

      As for your last paragraph: I don’t read your site anymore. You’ve fallen into Moon-man Talk Land, Darrell. I can’t argue your ‘inarguable’ examples, because you don’t give examples. You give made up examples. You give made up quotes to historical figures and pretend they really made them as a way of supporting your point. How the F do you argue against that? I point out it’s fake and look at your response to me. You’ve made up your mind. You rationalize your WRONGNESS away without reflecting and changing your mind. You don’t accept the truth. I don’t expect you to convert to the evils of leftism, but I do expect you to join me in reality. ‘Oh, Churchill didn’t say that? My bad, I did not realize. maybe I’ll rethink that blogpost and re-evaluate my point… or get a quote that is actually real that strengthens my argument.’ NOPE, NOT GONNA DO IT.

      You misrepresent or misunderstand things because it’s easier for you than using that common sense and Christian Empathy you’re supposed to be exercising. You may as well post one of those gorgeous pictures you took on one of your trips to one of those socialist national parks you went to and make a claim that they are pictures of you and your spouse on Mars. You wouldn’t listen to any reasonable discourse telling you that you’re wrong. Probably just call me a marxist/leftist/commie/babykiller and smugly go back to your life content that you owned another Lib.

      But, you’re right. Sigh. The thought you put toward these points is short and acceptable to the simple.

    3. I just have to report this gem.

      This is what Darrell blurted out in the comment thread under his post about “The Militant Left’s Embrace of Fascism”.

      Anyone that simply wishes to throw “Nazi” and “fascist” fire bombs as a means of debate is not a useful source at all, other than as an example of how low the militant left has descended.

      Priceless. No wonder he banned me. LOL!

  3. I was going to agree with Darrell when he said he’s not a Republican.

    He’s really a Trumpist.

    But then, as Don Jr. proclaimed on January 6th, “This isn’t their Republican Party anymore. This is Donald Trump’s Republican Party!”

    Looks like Darrell is a Republican after all.

    Well, I TRIED to agree with him.

    1. Systemic denial of systemic racism is actually systemic racism. No wonder the radical Right sees the study and teaching of slavery and racism and their effects as a Marxist assault on our freedom. This is why they want to ban the 1619 Project and anything that looks like CRT. Conservative white people see themselves as the real victims of racism.

      Poll shows Americans’ Views of Systemic Racism Divided by Race

      The UMass Lowell Center for Public Opinion conducted an independent, nonpartisan national survey asking 1,000 respondents about race, discrimination and systemic racism and found from policing, to the economy to the workplace, race divides Americans’ views of many issues.

      A majority of American adults polled think that policing in this country is not fair – 51 percent say that Blacks are treated less fairly than whites in their interactions with police, compared to 41 percent who say they are treated the same. Another 7 percent say whites are treated less fairly than Blacks. Among Black respondents, the perception that Blacks are treated less fairly is higher, at 73 percent, while nearly half of white respondents, 48 percent, think Blacks are treated less fairly than whites.

      84% of Trump voters think “anti-white discrimination” is a major problem in the United States. 91% of Biden voters believe that systemic racism is an issue in America and 45 percent of Trump voters said they agree in the poll.

  4. I recall when Darrell claimed he would admit to being wrong.

    He has now claimed the fictitious Churchill quote on “leftist fascism” as his own.

    In his “Ministry of Truth” fashion, the original Churchill meme has disappeared down Darrell’s Memory Hole.

    It is Darrell’s quote. It has always been Darrell’s quote.
