Tennessee state police form a perimeter to protect a white nationalist gathering from anti-racist protesters. Did I mention this was in a state park?

Courtesy of HuffPo: 

Police formed a tight perimeter around a Tennessee state-owned hotel Saturday, guarding a white nationalist conference inside the building from anti-racist protesters gathered outside. 

American Renaissance, a racist Virginia-based organization listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group, reserved the 125 rooms inside Montgomery Bell State Park Inn for the weekend conference. Attendees not staying at the hotel arrived there early Saturday morning. Nearly all of them were men. They wore suit and ties — mandatory dress for the event — and didn’t respond to reporters’ questions as police escorted them inside.

Anti-racist protesters arrived a short time later. State park rangers subjected each protester to a metal detector test before allowing them to enter a fenced-off area across from the hotel. 

One protester, Beth Foster, grew upset when park rangers wouldn’t allow her to bring a purse inside, as bags were prohibited in the protest zone. 

“This is absolutely absurd,” she told the officers. “Nazis” from out of state, she told them, were allowed to rent out an entire Tennessee taxpayer-owned hotel, and yet she wasn’t allowed to bring a tiny purse inside a section of her own state park. Eventually Foster — co-director of the Mercy Junction Justice and Peace Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee — left her purse and walked through the security checkpoint. 

“It’s anti-racist activists that the state sees as the enemies,” she told reporters. “Not the Nazis or the white supremacists who are in our buildings, using our public restrooms, and eating in our public restaurant, plotting genocide.” 

So to be clear the police perimeter was in place BEFORE any protesters even arrived?

So they just assumed they would be violent?

The protesters, many of whom I would assume were also residents of the state, were then not only forbidden to enter the hotel on state park land, but were corralled into a fenced off area like cattle.

And you know this is now a thing, with the Nazis and white supremacists demonstrating real fear about the protesters that show up at their rallies and gatherings, even though most of the violence, and the only death, is attributed to their side.

So much for being the "master race," right?

Neo-Nazis hold rally in Georgia. Police show up....and start arresting peaceful counter protesters. Wait, what?

Courtesy of Raw Story: 

A Neo-Nazi rally happened in tiny Newnan, Georgia today. 

According to some reports, as few as 35 Nazis showed up to hear their leader mock men wearing skinny jeans. To protect them, the state had to send 400 heavily armed law enforcement officers in full riot gear. 

But that doesn’t mean things were smoothly. The cops were very aggressive with counter-protestors, according to reports from the scene and videos which show use-of-force arrests because of bandanas. 

Huffington Posts’s Christopher Mathias was shocked by the brutality of the cops. 

“I just witness the most over-aggressive policing I’ve ever seen in #Newnan,” he wrote on twitter. “Tackling protesters and arresting them… for wearing masks.”

The issue was that anti-Nazi activists covered their faces with bandanas—which the cops responded to with violent confrontations and arrests.

Boy leave it to Georgia to avoid upsetting the actual Nazis, and instead focus their hostility on the folks protesting the Nazis.

I think this is the result of the anti-Antifa mentality (Anifa protesters often cover their faces) that has been promoted by Fox News and Right Wing radio.

So now the police in the South see bandana wearing protesters as the enemy, instead of the swastika wearing fascists.

Seriously, where ARE we right now?

As their national presence grows the Right Wing is going to extremes to discredit Parkland students.

The above tweets features the always rational Alex Jones suggesting that Parkland student David Hogg is the new embodiment of Hitler.

Because you know that makes sense.

But the smear tactics did not end there. Not by a long shot.


Courtesy of Media Matters:  

Right-wing media outlets amplified claims that Parkland survivor David Hogg made a Nazi salute after his speech at the March for Our Lives event in Washington, D.C. But the gesture Hogg made was clearly a raised fist, not the Seig Heil salute.

In a March 25 article, Breitbart writer AWR Hawkins positively highlighted several Twitter accounts that claimed Hogg made a Nazi salute, although the image used to illustrate the article debunked the claim.

Writing for conservative pundit Ben Shapiro’s The Daily Wire, Ryan Saavedra wrote that Hogg “threw up a salute that sent Twitter into a frenzy.” Saavedra claimed it’s “not clear what Hogg meant by his hand gesture” but went on to include nine tweets that called the gesture, among other things, “Hitler-esque.” 

In a March 24 blog post, Alex Jones’ pro-Trump outlet Infowars called the march “the ‘Hitler Youth” invasion of Washington D.C.” and referred to the speakers as “young fascists-in-training,” specifically calling Hogg “the propagandist-in-chief”.
Here, by the way, is the video from which that image on the left was taken, just in case there are any trolls here who want to argue that the one of the right is not photoshopped.
And yes, there's more:  

And as of this weekend, this group of idealistic young people have officially become the right’s leading hate figures. 

The first and most repugnant strategy was to directly attack high-profile campaigners, especially students David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez. 

Running short of reasoned arguments, many attempted to push conservative buttons with high impact visuals. Alt-right social media company Gab was one of many that disseminated a doctored animation of Gonzalez in which she falsely appeared to be tearing up the US constitution. Cartoonist and Trump sycophant Ben Garrison depicted Hogg as an assault rifle, wielded by CNN, and loaded with Marxism. Breitbart re-published a round of tweets accusing Hogg of throwing a Nazi salute. 

On Front Page – an outlet led by David Horowitz, whose main stock in trade is virulent Islamophobia – Bruce Thornton decried Hogg’s “profanity laced tantrums” and reduced him and his fellow students to political “shock troops” being manipulated by a progressive “ideology of melodrama and moral exhibitionism”.

Though David and Emma have born the main brunt of the vicious attacks from the Right Wing, likely due to their effective messaging, other Parkland kids have also been targeted:  

Along with Hogg and Gonzalez, the right found some new targets among the Parkland survivors. The one who got the most scrutiny was Marjory Stoneman Douglas student Delaney Tarr, who spoke at the Washington rally. In her speech, she suggested that bump stock bans could be expanded into further gun control. Many rightwing outlets drew the inference that the movement would not stop at an assault weapons ban, but would try to ban firearms altogether. 

Fox News did not resort to calling the Parkland students Nazis, but they did call them sanctimonious pawns.
Keep in mind that these are children.

Children who just had their lives torn apart by gun violence, and many of whom lost friends to that same violence.

But to the Right Wing they are nothing more than adversaries who must be crushed under foot, and their suffering does not buy them any sympathy or empathy whatsoever.

Meet the Nazi who just won the Illinois Republican primary.

Finally a Republican who is being honest about what that party represents.

Just in case you think this could not possibly be happening, oh yes it is.

Nazi sympathizer upset that he lost his job after the Washington Post revealed that he was a Nazi sympathizer.

Courtesy of WaPo: 

Tony Hovater, the white nationalist and Nazi sympathizer featured in a controversial New York Times article this weekend, said he lost his job and would soon lose his home following a swift backlash over the article. 

Hovater, a 29-year-old Ohio resident, told The Washington Post on Wednesday that he has been fired from his job and that he and his wife, Maria, are in the process of moving out of their home in New Carlisle, Ohio, for financial and safety reasons. They could no longer afford to pay the rent, he said, and somebody had published their home address online. 

“It’s not for the best to stay in a place that is now public information,” he said, adding later: “We live alone. No one else is there to watch the house while I’m away.” 

The lengthy Times profile that was published Saturday portrayed the daily and seemingly normal life of Hovater, whom writer Richard Fausset described as the “Nazi sympathizer next door” and a “committed foot soldier” of the far-right movement. The article also described Hovater as a “Seinfeld” fan whose “Midwestern manners would please anyone’s mother.” 

Hovater said that he, his wife and his brother-in-law were fired Monday. All three worked at 571 Grill & Draft House, a small restaurant in New Carlisle. 

The restaurant’s owners said in a statement Wednesday that they did not know of Hovater’s white nationalist views until the Times article was published. They said the article illustrated “some very disturbing images and thoughts” that they do not share.

That is the problem with people finding out you are a Nazi, they tend to be less than impressed by the news.

Personally I do not feel even a little remorse that this asshole lost his job. I do feel a little pity for his children however, and I certainly do not support the threats made against his family or the restaurant where he once worked since that is indefensible.

As for suddenly being unemployed, well I am sure there is a job at Bretbart just waiting for him.

P.S. Here is the original article that started the trouble.

United States one of only three nations to vote no on a UN resolution to condemn Nazism. Wait, what?

Courtesy of CBS News:  

The United States says it was one of three countries to vote against a U.N. resolution condemning the glorification of Nazism over freedom of speech issues and concerns that Russia was using it to carry out political attacks against its neighbors. 

The resolution entitled "Combating glorification of Nazism, Neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance," was approved by the U.N.'s human rights committee on Friday with 131 in favor, 3 against with 48 abstentions. 

Ukraine and Palau were the other no votes. 

"We condemn without reservation all forms of religious and ethnic intolerance or hatred at home and around the world," said Deputy U.S. Representative to the Economic and Social Council Stefanie Amadeo, explaining the U.S. vote.

"However, due to this resolution's overly narrow scope and politicized nature, and because it calls for unacceptable limits on the fundamental freedom of expression, the United States cannot support it," Amadeo said.

Why didn't he just come out and say that Doanld Trump is cool with Nazis, and needs their support in the next election?

Well it's a good thing that Ukraine and Palau voted along with us or we might look like Nazi loving assholes.

Right?

The Germans are really doing their best to warn us.

Somebody on Twitter also added this. Just in case this article is too subtle.
Every high school government teacher in the country, currently teaching about the rise of the Third Reich, should be showing tapes of Trump rallies, and posting his tweets which attack the press, and telling their students "That, boys and girls, that is how it happened."

Congress overwhelmingly passes resolution which condemns neo-Nazis and White Supremacists. But will Donald Trump sign it into law? Update!

Courtesy of NBC News:  

Congress has approved a resolution condemning white supremacists, neo-Nazis and other hate groups following a white-nationalist rally in Virginia that descended into deadly violence. 

The resolution recognizes Heather Heyer, who was killed Aug. 12, and 19 other people who were injured after a car allegedly driven by a neo-Nazi slammed into a crowd of demonstrators protesting the rally in Charlottesville. It describes Heyer's death as a "domestic terrorist attack" and acknowledges two Virginia state troopers who died in a helicopter crash while monitoring the protests. 

Six senators from both parties, led by both of Virginia's Democratic senators, Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, introduced the measure, which the Senate approved unanimously Monday night. The House approved the joint resolution Tuesday by unanimous consent.

This resolution now goes to Donald Trump for his signature.

For almost any other president in history this would be a done deal.

But for Trump this might actually present a conundrum.

Does he sign the bill to prove to the world that he is not a racist POS?

Or does he refuse, because deep down he really IS a racist POS?

Update: Good news, Mike Fuckabee's daughter says that Trump will "absolutely" sign this resolution. 
I wonder if in a quiet act of defiance Trump will sleep in his KKK pjs tonight?

Much like the Trump White House the RNC is shedding staff at an amazing rate as well.

Courtesy of Politico: 

Sara Armstrong, the top staffer at the Republican National Committee, is departing, according to three people familiar with the move — the latest in a string of exits from the committee. 

Armstrong, the RNC's chief of staff, is exiting to take a senior-level job at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. She had been serving in the chief of staff role since early this year after helping to oversee President Donald Trump's inauguration planning.

Armstrong is the sixth staffer to leave the RNC in just over a month. That includes a handful of aides in the committee’s data department who left recently amid a change in departmental leadership. The wave of departures, coming less than a year after the 2016 election, has surprised the tight-knit world of Republican operatives.

This of course reflects a similar situation as the White House which is losing staff, even high level staff, almost daily it seems.

Is there a connection?

Hells yeah there's a connection.

Courtesy of McClatchy:

Interviews with a dozen Republican operatives and activists around the country revealed genuine frustration—and for some, disgust—over Trump’s repeated suggestions that there is an equivalence between the neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klan members and white supremacists who marched in Virginia this weekend, and those who turned out to protest them, even as a woman died after a white supremacist rammed a car into a group of the counter-protesters. 

“He is destroying the GOP one day at a time, one reckless statement and action at a time,” said Sally Bradshaw, a longtime adviser to Jeb Bush who co-authored the “autopsy” report and went on to leave the party over Trump. “Why would anyone consider supporting a political party when the leader of the party is anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-woman, and anti-black? He makes me sick.”

In the past the GOP would trot out the image of Ronald Reagan as the party's standard bearer, but the election of Donald Trump changed all of that and now they are forever tied to  a pussy grabbing, incompetent, racist, Nazi sympathizer.

And trust me Donald Trump will feature prominently in ads touting Democratic candidates for decades to come.

That is a party I would run screaming in the streets from as well.

Just a heads up, the Crying Nazi does not like to be called the Crying Nazi.

Courtesy of the Daily Beast:  

Christopher Cantwell is not happy being labeled "the crying Nazi." 

The white supremacist got the moniker after he recorded a tearful video upon hearing he was wanted for arrest after pepper-spraying protesters at the University of Virginia on August 11. That was the night several hundred torch-wielding white nationalists chanted “Jews will not replace us” and then encircled a few dozen protesters gathered at a statue of university founder Thomas Jefferson. 

"When I come down here for a permitted demonstration, championed by the ACLU, where the police are supposed to be clearing our enemies from our path, and then I find myself involved in a riot facing 20 years in prison, I got emotional, shockingly enough," Cantwell told The Daily Beast in his first interview from jail. 

"One minute I'm a fucking white supremacist terrorist and the next minute I'm a fucking crybaby?" he asks. "I'm a goddamn human being."

Actually you're a fucking racist who bragged about being a badass and hurting people, and then cried like a little bitch when you realized you might have to do time.

That is several steps back down the evolutionary trail from being a human being.

Currently Cantwell is being held at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail in solitary confinement to keep him safe from other human beings who would like to show him how not tough he actually is.

By the way here is once again the vidoe which will forever brand this POS the "Crying Nazi."

Yep, that is definitely going to stick.

White House economic advisor, who happens to be Jewish, slams Donald Trump's response to the Charlottesville neo-Nazi protest.

Courtesy of CNBC: 

Top White House economic advisor Gary Cohn says he seriously considered resigning after President Donald Trump's reaction to the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia. 

"I have come under enormous pressure both to resign and to remain in my current position," Cohn said during an interview with the Financial Times about economic policy. 

"As a Jewish-American, I will not allow neo-Nazis ranting 'Jews will not replace us' to cause this Jew to leave his job. I feel deep empathy for all who have been targeted by these hate groups. We must all unite together against them," Cohn said. 

The former president of Goldman Sachs has said that the administration "must do better" when condemning neo-Nazis and white supremacists. Initially following the protests the president blamed "both sides" for causing protests to become deadly. Trump also said there were some "very fine people" among the white supremacist protesters.

"Citizens standing up for equality and freedom can never be equated with white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and the KKK," Cohn said in the interview.

Oh man, you know this is going to get Trump's panties all in a bunch.

And this wasn't a leak either, Cohn just said right out loud in an interview.

He clearly knows that Trump will not respond well to this, but he may not care because according to the New York Times he has already drafted a resignation letter: 

The sharp critique from Mr. Trump’s top economic adviser, Gary D. Cohn, came nearly two weeks after deadly violence in Charlottesville, Va., in response to a rally led by white nationalist groups. Mr. Cohn, who is Jewish, seriously considered resigning and even drafted a letter of resignation, according to two people familiar with the draft.

By coming out publicly like this Cohn could be positioning himself to be fired by Trump so he can later say that he was willing to stay to make the administration better, and also further demonstrating Trump's inherent vindictiveness. 

I think Germany might have the very best Donald Trump magazine covers.

Courtesy of The Hill: 

“Neo-nazis, Ku Klux Klan, Racism: As Donald Trump stirs the hate in America,” a translation of the cover reads.

Great, the whole world now knows that we have a Nazi sympathizer in the White House. 

All they knew before was that we had a pussy grabbing, moronic, Russian puppet in there.

One Idaho state representative is pretty sure he knows who was behind the violence in Charlottesville. Obama!

Courtesy of The Hill: 

An Idaho state lawmaker is facing backlash for sharing a conspiracy theory that former President Obama helped to orchestrate the violent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., as part of a plot to take down President Trump. 

Idaho Rep. Bryan Zollinger on Friday posted a story on Facebook that suggested Obama and other top Democrats like billionaire George Soros and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe were part of a conspiracy to set up the rally, the Post Register reported. 

“I’m not saying it is true, but I am suggesting that it is completely plausible,” Zollinger wrote on Facebook. The story claims that Obama has set up a “war room” to fight against the Trump administration — a claim that has largely been debunked — and that Charlottesville was a part of his plan. 

The lawmaker later told the Idaho Statesman that it was “maybe a mistake” to share the story but doubled down on his statement that the claims were “plausible.”

Plausible?

So it is plausible that a bunch of Nazis, KKK members, and White Supremacists gathered in Virginia to foment violence at the direction of the first black president in American history?

Sure, plausible, right.

But do you know what IS plausible?

That these racists assholes will continue to blame Barack Obama for every single thing that goes wrong in their lives for the next twenty years despite the fact that he is no longer in office, or wields any real power.

Because THAT is what racists do.

In recent months more than 2,500 companies have stopped advertising on Breitbart News.

Courtesy of The Independent: 

More than 2,500 advertisers have reportedly stopped advertising on right-wing news website Breitbart News in recent months, underscoring the swelling power of a grassroots campaign to boycott the platform, especially amid escalating political tensions in the US. 

According to a tweet by Sleeping Giants, a campaign group aiming to pressure companies into cutting ties with media they deem to be racist or sexist, the number of advertisers that have ceased advertising is “climbing towards 2,600”.

Gee does that mean that most advertisers do not want to be associated with an outlet that promoted white nationalism? 

It looks like Steve Bannon is returning right on time to watch the last exodus of anybody idiotic enough to have every advertised with Breitbart.

No real problem though, not at long as the Mercer family is still willing to waste their money on keeping it afloat.

News outlets reporting that Ivanka is the one who ousted Stephen Bannnon from the White House.

Source
Courtesy of the Daily Mail: 

Donald Trump’s controversial aide Steve Bannon was ‘pushed out’ by his daughter Ivanka and her husband because his far-Right views clashed with their Jewish faith, according to Washington sources. 

Chief strategist Bannon, 63, helped orchestrate the US President’s stunning election victory but was vilified for his extreme opinions. 

Many blamed him for Trump’s failure last week to condemn neo-Nazis after a violent rally in Virginia at which a woman was killed and dozens were injured. 

First daughter Ivanka converted to Orthodox Judaism when she wed millionaire businessman Jared Kushner in 2009. 

The couple have three children. A source said: ‘Jared and Ivanka helped push him out. They were concerned about how they were being viewed by the Jewish community.’ 

Wait, so are they suggesting that the Jews would not be down with a White Supremacist, Nazi sympathizer working in the White House?

Well you know who needs to go next then, don't you?

This Daily Mail story has also been picked up by Breitbart.

And the comments from their readers were.....let's say.....colorful:

We didn't vote for this faux Jew witch. She's gotta go! 

NO ONE elected Prince and Princess Kushy.... 

We've been sold down the river for a WH full of Lib Loons...led by Ivanka and Jared. Now we know what Bannon meant. Trump is no longer in control. The populist Presidency we all fought SO hard for is over. How disappointing this is. I didn't vote for Ivanka! #GoBannon 


BANNON'S REMOVAL WAS A DISGRACE . . . Throw these DISHONORABLE TRUMP CLOWNS along with that TWO-FACED SMILING WENCH and HER SNIVELLING HUSBAND JARED outta the White House. 

THEY HAVE NO HONOR

Well they seem nice.

If indeed Ivanka helped to push Bannon out that may be the only really positive thing she has accomplished since becoming Daddy's Little Assistant. 

However as I alluded to earlier, the head Nazi is still in charge, so really she has not accomplished anything of importance.

Some Liberty University graduates returning their diplomas because of their school's support for the Nazi sympathizer in the White House.

White House Nazi with Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr..
Courtesy of NPR: 

A group of alumni from one of the country's most influential evangelical Christian universities is condemning their school's president for his continued alignment with President Trump. 

A small but growing number of Liberty University graduates are preparing to return diplomas to their school. The graduates are protesting university President Jerry Falwell Jr.'s ongoing support for Trump. They began organizing after Trump's divisive remarks about the deadly white supremacist protests in Charlottesville, Va. 

Chris Gaumer, a former Student Government Association president and 2006 graduate, said it was a simple decision. 

"I'm sending my diploma back because the president of the United States is defending Nazis and white supremacists," Gaumer said. "And in defending the president's comments, Jerry Falwell Jr. is making himself and, it seems to me, the university he represents, complicit."

I believe this marks the first time that I have EVER supported a decision made by a graduate of Liberty University, EVER.

BTW this was Falwell's tweet after Trump made those disastrous comments concerning there being "fine people on both sides" of those protests in Charlottesville.
Perhaps now is a good time to remember that Falwell Sr. founded the Moral Majority to fight against desegregation, not to fight abortion as is it is often remembered today.

OK Cupid bans white supremacist for life.

Courtesy of WaPo: 

After a Vice documentary about last weekend’s Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville featured white supremacist Chris Cantwell, he was banned from Facebook. And on Thursday, he was kicked off OkCupid as well. 

The online dating site announced the decision via Twitter and followed up by tweeting that “there is no room for hate in a place where you’re looking for love.” The site also asked users to report anyone who appears to be involved in a hate group. 

Chief executive Elie Seidman gave a statement to Gizmodo saying, “OkCupid has zero tolerance for racism. We make a lot of [decisions] every day that are tough. Banning Christopher Cantwell was not one of them.”

Just in case you are having a little difficulty remembering who this Chris Cantwell douchbag is, it's this douchebag. 
I also heard that Pay Pal kicked him off and that he no longer has a source of income.

I am going to try and shed a tear for him just as soon as I am finished rolling on the floor and laughing.

CNN's Brooke Baldwin lists all of the crazy things that have happened with Trump in the last four weeks.

Courtesy of Raw Story: 

“Steve Bannon has been fired,” Baldwin said. “It has been a chaotic four weeks, even by these White House standards, so let’s just all take a moment just to remind you what has happened, incredibly significant events, one after the other.” 

“So, in no particular order,” she began. “President Trump … fires his chief strategist, fires his chief of staff, hires a new one, hires a new communications director, fires him, hires a new one, his fourth in seven months, publicly shames his attorney general multiple times, loses a health care bill, publicly shames the three republicans who voted against it multiple times, bans transgender individuals from the military without telling the military, ticks off the Boy Scouts, makes up a phone call with said Scouts, makes up another phone call with the president of Mexico, thanks Vladimir Putin for expelling Americans, hundreds of them, takes days to sign a bipartisan sanctions bill and then blasts Congress for making him sign it, condemns leaks but then says he likes the leaks because it shows people love him.”

Baldwin then stops for a drink of water, before continuing:

“Encourages police to be rough with suspects during arrests, publicly shames the Republican leader he needs to get anything done—multiple times—embraces an unpassable immigration plan that sparks a debate about the Statue of Liberty and the definition of ‘cosmopolitan.’ He threatens North Korea with nuclear war, tells Guam it will help tourism, then his own chief strategist calls his bluff and says, no, there’s no military option in North Korea, threatens Venezuela with a military option, after a Nazi rally in which someone was murdered, the president blames both sides. After backlash, cleans it up, denounces those white supremacists, but then hours later erases all of it and makes everything worse by again blaming both sides, saying there were fine people there. No, they weren’t. They were Nazis.”

Whew!

Keep in mind that President Obama went through EIGHT YEARS in office without anywhere near this much chaos and drama in his White House.

God, Trump was right. All of this winning IS exhausting.

Tina Fey is fuming about last weekend’s violence in Charlottesville, home to her alma mater, the University of Virginia. 

In response, the former “Saturday Night Live” comedian and writer is spearheading a movement: “sheetcaking.” 

In a surprise appearance on SNL’s “Weekend Update: Summer Edition” Thursday night, Fey urged Americans not to get into screaming matches with neo-Nazis. Instead, she said, “order a cake with the American flag on it … and just eat it.” 

She proceeded to stuff her face with sheet cake as she bashed white supremacists, President Trump, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan and conservative pundit Ann Coulter (“yard-sale Barbie”). 

With her mouth full of frosting, she seemed to capture the frustration of many Americans in the past week. Almost immediately, the hashtags “#sheetcakemovement” and “#sheetcaking” began circulating on social media.

I had a couple of thoughts while watching this genius at work last night.

First, why doesn't this woman have her own show right now?

Second, I totally feel everything that she was expressing. Totally.

And third, is that not the moistest cake you have ever seen?

I don't even usually like cake, and she was eating it like a rabid wolverine, and yet I still wanted some of it. Really bad.

So thank you Tina Fey for channeling all of our emotions to eloquently.

And thank you for the extra three pounds I am definitely going to gain when I sit down to eat my own entire sheetcake.

Donald Trump gets the sads about losing all of those "beautiful statues and monuments" to the traitors who fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War.



Yeah those statues must seem really beautiful, unless of course you happen to be a black person whose ancestors were slaves in this country, or even a white person whose ancestor gave their life to defend this country against an army that rose up to battle for the right to keep human beings as property.

But to others who are not among those clearly prejudice folks, I am sure the statues and monuments must seem awesome.

I have been hearing for months now that Steve Bannon was the representative of the Alt-Right racists in the White House, but based on the interview that I posted earlier, and these tweets, I am beginning to firmly believe that the head Nazi in the White House is Trump himself.

Remember this:  

Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.

I guess this was Hitler's long game.

Sure he lost the 2nd World War, but now after more than 70 years one of his followers is finally in charge of America. 

And the Republicans helped him do it.
